As promised, tonight was going to be groundbreaking. A history making event that made this the biggest WWE Unforgiven in history. So far also the biggest event this year aside from WrestleMania XXIV. Sorry I was late on getting to the Live Blog but I got there just in time for some of the key matches that I've been looking forward to. Which were of course all three Title scramble matches. Plus the Unsanctioned Match between Jericho and Shawn Michaels. Tonight was also very unpredictable. Here's my review.
The ECW World Heavyweight Championship was pretty well set. I had a feeling that despite there are FIVE men involved, Mark Henry would've still been able to pull it off. I mean he's huge and strong. So I thought he'd still win so I was kinda sceptic. But I had my money on Matt or Finlay to win somehow. And behold! After a long time of pursuing a World Championship. Matt Hardy has become the official ECW World Heavyweight Champion at the end of the match. I'm so proud of this man for finally reaching the top of the mountain for real in his career. He definately earned it and I couldn't be any happier. I extend a super special congratulations to Matt Hardy our new ECW World Heavyweigh Champion.
The Unsanctioned match was as I knew it would be. Brutal, relentless, and of course... UNFORGIVING. It ended where Jericho couldn't compete anymore. How ironic. Shawn had him down on the mat just like how Jericho beat the hell out of his eye at the Great American Bash. HBK got what he wanted and I'm proud to see the outcome.
Now the WWE Championship Scramble! The Brian Kendrick finally got a spot in a huge match on his own but sadly didn't win. Triple H barely managed to officially retain the title. It would've been great for Jeff to finally win the title but sadly came up short. Though I'm proud of his effort. Congratulations Triple H for retaining!
Some time before the World Heavyweight Championship scramble CM Punk was in the middle of an interview before being jumped. What a classless act on Randy Orton's part. Seriously it's always the multi-generation wrestlers that are just full of themselves. Code Rhodes. Ted DiBiase Jr., and of course Randy Orton. I've had it with all three of them. Thanks to this act of classlessness CM Punk was unable to compete. And win the final five minutes were approaching, a battered and beaten Chris Jericho enters and pins Kane out of nowhere when there were 10 seconds left and runs off with the title! This is unfair! Jericho's just going to be a transitional champion without a doubt. Just slap luck for this clown. If it weren't for Randy Orton I'm sure CM Punk would've actually retained as well. But this? Oh yeah I'm very angry about the whole outcome.
And lastly after the attack Big Show wanted to put himself into the World Heavyweight Championship Scramble, but Vickie had to come in and insult him. Calling him a "Big Dumb Giant." Haha... then the Deadman enters with a coffin specially made for Vickie as promised. Coming to claim her soul and all. But this all ended up being a setup with Big Show throwing Taker into the coffin... Oh yeah I know that this will culminate into a Casket Match at No Mercy. No doubt about it.
Overall Unforgiven did indeed make groundbreaking history tonight just as I knew it would. Matt Hardy is finally a World Champion, Triple H retains, and Shawn got retribution. Alot of history was made tonight. Now from here on we move on towards No Mercy in October!
