I'm not watching Unforgiven because of two main reasons:

* No Undertaker match announced

* All championship bouts are scramble matches which really don't make good matches out of them

As I'm writing, I know that Unforgiven is going on live and I am catching the updates on WWE.com. So far Matt Hardy has won the ECW title and Dibiase/ Rhodes have maintained their tag-team titles against Cryme Time by the help of a "vicious" man - who might that be? I have a feeling it was Sid Vicious (I didn't see the video, so am not sure) because I have read on some websites that he is interested in coming back, and his Wikipedia page also says that he is signed to WWE now.

As for the titles - I think Batista is going to win the WHC title because he features on the Unforgiven poster. He has been pushed really high up the last few months after his victories against Shawn Michaels and John Cena in PPVs. It might be a way to make him the top superstar instead of John Cena on Raw for a while. Maybe that Cena has to take time off to shoot for a movie.

The WWE title is tricky - I want Jeff Hardy to win, but it is going to be difficult for him. HHH might retain it - the only reason I don't want him to retain it is that I don't want to see another Undertaker vs HHH feud. Now that Undertaker is back after his "banishment" (WWE's excuse to hide his injury knee-cyst on-screen), once he is done with Vickie, he will surely go for the title. The same title which was always HIS the last 18 years, but which other jokers have won many more times than he has and have held many more days than he has. Unfortunately he always runs into some bad luck with injuries after he wins the title because the WWE gives him bloody matches which nobody else can do (like the last-man standing and steel-cage matches against Batista last year after the Wrestlemania match, and then the annual Hell in a cell matches 2 in a row, last year as well as this year), and then the title has to be stolen from him either by cashing the Money-in-the-bank (like Edge did in 2007 after Mark Henry attacked Undertaker following his already-brutal steel-cage match with Batista) or by stripping him off the title (2008) because you can't have the Dead-man forfeit the title or lose it cleanly in a match as it would be against his character and reputation. 

All veteran wrestling fans have been waiting to finally see a long Undertaker title reign before he retires, and we have been expecting it to start from early 2007 ever since he won the Royal Rumble. I am not saying that he is retiring - I hope he stays on at least until he becomes 20-0 at Wrestlemania and the streak should remain alive. That would be more than 2 decades of destruction.

I can't help admire the fact that Undertaker returned with an injury - his knee is still not completely healed, which is obvious from the way he executed the tombstone piledriver on Edge in the Hell in a Cell match. There was also no old-school (top-rope walk) executed by Undertaker, which means his knee is not doing good. Perhaps the reason why he was made to return was that the Vickie-Edge story-line was becoming too elongated (it was created only due to Undertaker's injury), and had to be ended because Edge was injured too, and needed time off.

Undertaker's return was better suited for Summerslam instead of Unforgiven because Summerslam is a bigger PPV (and he already made his return at Unforgiven last year - why repeat it?). I appreciate the fact that Undertaker made his return despite his knee's condition for what was best for the business - end the rivalry with Edge on screen and let Edge go away for a while to heal his injuries. Its not surprising that Edge dominated most of the match because Undertaker was injured and couldn't jump around much to show his great agility for his huge size - and the story-line made it look like Edge is trying all that he can, but in the end you cannot kill what's already dead. Another proof of the fact that Undertaker is not completely healed is that he is not wrestling any matches on Smackdown but just coming out for doing promos. He is not scheduled for any Unforgiven match which reassures the fact, but then the WWE have kept him in a promo-mode on the mic to ensure that his fans watch it. Vickie also annouced that she demands an apology from Undertaker on Unforgiven - so that would not reduce the viewership for the PPV because a lot of people will pay just to see Undertaker appear.

I am sick and tired of the Vickie Guerrero stuff. Get Undertaker to win the title and get rid of all these jokers! I hope that a handi-cap match is announced with Undertaker on one side and the entire La Familia on the other side, so that he can single-handedly kick a** of all of them and then burn Vickie in a casket so that she can join her on-screen "husband" Edge in Hell as Undertaker had promised. Otherwise, Undertaker feuding with a woman just doesn't make sense to me and is too boring to watch. Finish it quick!

I was hoping that Vickie will hire Big Show or Umaga or Vladimir Kozlov to protect herself from Undertaker and that would lead to a match at Unforgiven, because I had heard of an Undertaker vs Umaga rivalry planned for the year. But those would be filler-feuds until Undertaker starts feuding for the title, that is why they would not interest me. The wait for it has been too long since last year's January - WWE, now please give the fans what they want! Give Undertaker the title shot and finish all the other stupid/ tiny story-lines around him. Now that Sid has made his return to WWE (so I think), she might as well hire him for the job - who knows? But I would be bored to see that too because Undertaker is still on the top of his game (even when injured, he kicks a** of all the top-brass though they try to perform at their 200% best when they are in the ring against him). I don't think Sid, at this age, can stand in front of the age-less Undertaker, the dead-man who cannot be hurt. Undertaker's health seemed to be better than before in the Hell in a cell match (except for the knee) which makes me feel he has a good 3-4 years left in his full-time WWE career.

But since Undertaker vs HHH has already happened at Wrestlemania, I don't wanna see another repeat of the rivalry. This is why I wanted Jeff Hardy to win the title at Unforgiven but my guess is that it won't happen. In order to increase viewership, the WWE is doing big matches and rivalries at this time - Batista vs John Cena came out of nowhere on Summerslam. Hence, we might see Undertaker vs HHH happen at Survivor series. Survivor is where Undertaker debuted, that is where he won his first title a year after his debut against Hulk Hogan, that is where I guess he will win the title again this year if it is his last title reign (hopefully a very long and dominant one because nobody has deserved it more for his contributions to the business, both on-stage and back-stage). Anyways - if there is an Undertaker vs HHH rivalry planned, get it done quickly with the title going to Undertaker because I don't want it to go on till Wrestlemania - it cannot amount to anything bigger than a Wrestlemania match and we have already seen them fight at Wrestlemania 17 where Undertaker completely conquered HHH. Let somebody else get added to the victim-list of Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak instead of having HHH listed in there 2 times. My best bet for the next victim is Shawn Michaels. Hopefully he will win the Royal Rumble next year and challenge Undertaker for the title. Maybe he will claim to end the streak like the way he stopped the show of Flair, but then Vince will put a retirement storyline into it and the show-stopper will be the one getting retired and getting his show "stopped" by the dead-man. I don't think anyone else deserves to stop his show.

Vickie is not getting an apology from Undertaker for sure - I just jope the damned rivalry gets over soon and then we can have Undertaker for the championship title once he has healed all is injuries and is back in full swing!

Update: Ok - I am updating the blog now. I just checked on WWE.com that HHH has indeed retained the title as I predicted and now the WWE have made it very obvious as to there will be an Undertaker vs HHH fued. This is what they say here - http://www.wwe.com/shows/unforgiven/matches/7925052/results/: "the champion proved his mettle and why he is dubbed 'The King of Kings'. If four Superstars can't stop him, who can? " - the answer is the Undertaker. WWE had also said something similar after Summerslam - http://www.wwe.com/shows/summerslam/matches/7720708/results/: "The Game has defeated the 420-pound Punjabi Giant. Who or what can stop The King of Kings?" - ok, it is hint enough that Undertaker would stop him :-)
