Customer Reviews

a mixed bag of coconuts i guess
September 2004 and all RAW branded pay per view occured and is a mixed bag of goodies and God awful nonsense that guaranteed this wouldnt go down in history.
The event opened with a good tag team match between ric flair and batista going up against william regal and chris benoit,this was a good encounter that contained a classic flair face flop when he got a good hiding then backed away and started punching fresh air and then fell like a bag of rocks,how the heck the wrestlers didnt laugh is beyond me,that being said,there is more to this than comedy and these two teams worked well together and warmed up the crowd in a good manner.
The womans title was up next as trish fought victoria in a real howler but compare that to the next match and the trish match was a classic,as steven richards fought tyson tomko in what was an unscheduled match straight from the vaults of garbage,this was the worst match i have seen in many a day,if you want to see a bored and very quiet crowd then watch this ,i get ill as i think back so i will stop doing that then.
A ladder match for the vacant intercontiental title was up next and it was a great match,it featured chris jericho and christian,this was a classic match and both men had chances,close calls,took a severe beating,some shots looked like pure agony,it was a match you could believe in,the crowd were quiet enough during this but maybe they were still in shock at having bought a ticket to see the previous match.
Shawn michaels fought kane in a no disqualification match next,there wasnt a great deal of hype going into this but this was a solid and well crafted match with both men taking plaudits after this,it wasnt an out and out classic but did enough to bring praise.
The tag team titles were up next as the champions,la resistance went up against the team of tajiri and rhyno,the match started well,then got annoying and then got very lame and thats it really.
The main event was up next,the champion randy orton going up against his old colleague triple H for the world heavyweight championship.This match wasnt as good as it could have been and it was certainly a hyped match but there was plenty of talking points,an eventful and chaotic finish to it meant that i was happy enough but there was some time wasted in it which isnt what you expect but not the worst main event i have seen,all in all a 2.5 out of 5 event.

Ladder Match ROCKS
Chris Benoit and William Regal vs Ric Flair and Batista 8/10
A great tag match with a good blend of different abilities and styles (most tag matches that start off a PPV are above average)

Women's Title Match
Trish Stratus vs Victoria 3/10
A typical women's match you can see nearly every Monday on Raw

Tyson Tomko vs Steven Richards 0/10
A match that was made at the last second (literally) and was a complete waste of time SKIP NOW

Intercontinental Title Ladder Match
Chris Jericho vs Christian 10/10
One of the best ladder matches I have seen in a while and Jericho and Christian have great chemistry in this type of match

No Disqualification Match
Shawn Michaels vs Kane 7/10
This match had some great wrestling but HBK and Kane didn't seem to blend well enough so in some places it felt a bit sloppy. Plus Lita being at ringside was a bit annoying (but necessary)

World Tag Team Title Match
La Resistance (Sylvian Grenier and Rob Conway) vs Rhyno and Tajiri 4/10
Not as good as the other tag match but it was ok nonetheless.

World Heavyweight Title Match
Triple H vs Randy Orton 9/10
It started off slow but picked up eventually it also had some sloppy moments in it and the ending was kind of disappointing but it was a great main event nonetheless

Unforgiven was a great first class PPV that proved that Raw is the top rate show in the WWE

WWE UNFORGIVEN 2004
Unforgiven 2004 is presented by RAW and features some of it's biggest superstars!

Match 1- Batista & Ric Flair V.S William Regal & Chris Beniot: This was an okay oppener, apart from the fact that it was pretty bland with no real character, a big comedown for Chris Beniot after his world title regin. 6/10

Match 2- Women's Championship: Trish Stratus w/ Tyson Tomko V.S Victoria: Some good moves from both women (who, in my opinon are the best on raw) but Trish proves she may be the best ever women's champ by getting the 1.2.3, good efort. 7.5/10

Match 3- Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match: Christian V.S Chris Jericho. This had alot of hype, and in many areas it delivered, but i could'nt help but feel slightly empty afterwards,but still one of the best on the card. 8/10

Unscheduled Match- Tyson Tomko V.S The mystery Woman(Steven Richards) Just plain bad,skip this! 2/10

NO DQ Match- Shawn Michaels V.S Kane: This match was pure classfrom top to toe. the showstopper returns to take on the big red machinein the 'show stealer' of the night. Fantastic, and a good length too. 10/10

World Tag Team Championship- Rhyno and Tajiri V.S La R'esistance: I was hoping Rhyno and Tajiri would win this but hey, this is the WWE we are talking about, This had alot of potential but unfortunately it did'nt fufil most of it. Okayish 5.5/10

World Heavyweight Championship Match: Triple H V.S Randy Orton: This was a really great match from the start until abou t just before the end when Evolution played it's part in Triple h's 9th World title regin.

All in all this was a prety good event with most of the matches paying off....9/10 great event!!! just watch out for Tyson Tomko V.S The Mystery Woman... You'l see!
