Rating: Summary: Everyone puts forth an effort, but overall falls short Review: Unforgiven came off the heels of Summerslam, typically the second biggest show of the year after WrestleMania. While this event is disappointing, it definitely has its high spots. Top of the line is the match between Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho. Both wrestlers perform unbelievably stiff maneuvers, even though this match is one of only two which did not feature "juice" at this PPV. The Austin-Angle rematch from Summerslam had high expectations, as the two put forth a match-of-the-year contender at Summerslam. While the match disappoints, it is still very good for the two superstars. Most of the rest of the card is forgettable, including the match between Edge and Christian which had high expectations. Good entertainment, but not worth a buy.
Rating: Summary: WoW! Review: Unforgiven was great. Here the matches:Perry Saturn vs Raven with Terri. Pretty good, but should of been on heat. Perry get revenge for Moppy *1/2 WWF Tag team titles: Dudleyz vs Hardyz vs Hurricane and Storm vs Big Show and Spike. Pretty boring. The spot with Spike jumping off Big Show was awesome. Dudleyz retain of course ** WCW Tag titles: Kane and Taker vs Kronik with Steven Richards. I've always wanted to see these two teams fight, but this was pretty [bad]. The fued was great, but this match was pretty [bad]. The Brothers retain. *1/2 RVD vs Jericho Hardcore Title. What a match! These two did some amazing stuff in this match. If that filthy dirty.... hadnt of interfered, Jericho might of won, but of course, those two may never be friends. **** IC title. Edge vs Christian. This match was really good. Some funny spots and good spots in this match. Christiam barely gets the win. *** Handicap match for WCW title. Rock vs Booker T and Shane. Pretty boring. Shane being there was useless. Rock retains of course ** WCW U.S. Title. Tajiri vs Rhyno. Not a bad match at all. It was good but short. Rhyno wins with the gore. ** WWF title SCSA vs Kurt. Kurt is really aggressive in this match. This match wasnt better than their match at Summerslam, but it was still a great match. Some great stuff in this match like Austin being thrown off the Unforgiven set. Kurt gets the win(unfortunately it dont last long) and his family and WWF wrestlers celebrate with him!! **** This was a great ppv, and i dont regret buying it.
Rating: Summary: Very good card. Review: Well, here is my first review for a wrestling pay-per-view. I will rate the matches on a scale of 1-10: WWF Tag-Team belts: Dudley Boyz(Bubba-Ray/D-Von) vs. the Hurricane/Lance Storm vs. Hardy Boyz(Matt/Jeff) vs. Big Show/Spike Dudley: Good opening bout with some decent bumps. Thankfully, Big Show isn't involved enough to hurt it. Rating:7 Perry Saturn vs. Raven with Terri: OK match with some decent mat wrestling. Unfortunately, this is a match best saved for "Raw". Rating:6 Intercontinental belt: Edge vs. Christian: Great match! Two talented dogs give it their all here in a contest with a good mixture of mat wrestling and brawling. Rating:8 WCW Tag-Team belts: the Undertaker/Kane vs. Kronik(Bryan Adams/Bryan Clark): Oh, man, this match is terrible. All four men(especially Adams and Kane)bumble around, punching, kicking and selling pitifully. Clark turns in the best performance in this match(sorry, Undertaker fans), and still manages to botch most of his moves. rating:2 WWF Hardcore belt: Rob Van Dam vs. Chris Jericho: Match of the year candidate that saw probably got the biggest pops of the night, and rightfully so. A must-see for any serious wrestling fan. Match of the night all the way. Rating:10 WCW belt: the Rock vs. Booker T and Shane Mcmahon: Decent enough two-on-one match, but the sloppy finish that is WCW referee Nick Patrick and WWF referee Earl Hebner fighting kinda kills it. Rating:4 U.S. Belt: Tajiri vs. Rhyno: Adequate, but too short. Rating:5 WWF belt: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle: Great match with one of the few great angles for a WWF match in the disatrous 2001, despite Jim Ross' terrible commentary that makes it obvious he knows what the booking for the match is. All in all, great PPV if you discount the 'Taker/Kane-Kronik debacle.
Rating: Summary: One of 2001's best!!! i promise Review: Wow! this PPV has it all!! A new WWF Champ, A great Hardcore Match, an exciting Tag Team Turmoil Match, and a Great one on one match between brothers. I'll discuss the best matches only, 1st and foremost the WWF Championship match - New WWF Champ Crowned For the 2nd time!!! , WWF Hardcore match - Great match between Rvd and Y2J (unforgettable bumps!!)the 2nd best match of the evening, WWF tag team match - A very entertaining one (guaranteed!), WWF Intercontinental Match - Good back and forth match between edge and christian (not a very happy ending though, they could have thought of something better). Rock's match between Shane Mcmahon and Booker T is Ok nothing special (I am not a rock fan),Taker and Kane vs. Kronic is another ok match between 4 big men (a very slow match),Raven Vs Perry saturn (DUh!),Tajiri vs. Rhyno (watchable match). overall this pay per view is a classic! because of the Austin/Angle Rematch and Rvd/Y2J match. This is also special because this may be the last time we'll see Kronic wrestle...........eeevvvvver..... Agayn!
Rating: Summary: Unforgiven 2001 Review: WWF Tag Team Championship The Hardy Boyz vs. Spike & The Big Show vs. Hurricane & Lance Storm vs. The Dudley Boyz(c)-good opener. fast pace. funny when Hurricane tries to chokeslam the Big Show.**** Perry Saturn vs. Raven-not a good match for a pay-per-veiw.** WWF Intercontinental Championship Edge(c) vs. Christian-the two brothers put up a good match. But the fall of a great tag team was terrible.*** WCW Tag Team Championship Kronik vs. The Undertaker & Kane(c)-Any match with Taker or Kane is great, but this was really good. slow at first. but ended the right way.**** WWF Hardcore Title Match Chris Jericho vs. Rob Van Dam(c)-GREAT MATCH! Lots of high spots from both men.A match of the year canadate.***** WCW Championship Match The Rock(c) vs. Booker T & Shane McMahon-pretty good considering The Rock had to put up with a stupid referee, shane & booker t.**** WCW U.S. Championship Tajiri(c) vs. Rhyno-Extremely short match. Should have been longer.*** WWF Championship Match Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin-wonderful match. Stone Cold got the ... beat out of him. It's obvious who wi but I won't say anything.***** ...
Rating: Summary: A decent PPV, but a poor DVD Review: WWF Unforgiven 2001 was a PPV that was basically a rehash of the prior month's SummerSlam event. Here is a match by match review. 1.) WWF TAG TEAM TITLES: Dudley Boyz (c) vs. Hardy Boyz vs. The Hurricane & Lance Storm vs. Big Show & Spike Dudley. A good opener to get the crowd going. ***. 2.) Perry Saturn vs. Raven. A disapointing match that dragged on and on and on. Should have been on HeAT. 1/4*. 3.) WWF INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE: Edge (c) vs. Christian. Not the classic we had been waiting for from these two. A decent match, with a dull finish. **1/2. 4.) WCW TAG TEAM TITLES: Undertaker & Kane (c) vs. Kroni>|. Not worth the words to describe it. DUD. 5.) WWF HARDCORE TITLE: Rob Van Dam (c) vs. Chris Jericho. Definitely the show stealer, but probably not a Match-of-the-Year Candidate. ****. 6.) WCW TITLE HANDICAP MATCH: The Rock (c) vs. Booker T & Shane McMahon. It's academic who wins this one, and Shane McMahon's involvement was totally useless. *1/2. 7.) WCW U.S. TITLE MATCH: Tajiri (c) vs. Rhyno. Decent, but short. *. 8.) WWF TITLE MATCH: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (c) vs. Kurt Angle. Their worst match together, although still good. ***. ---------------------------------------------- The matches themselves are decent enough to give this PPV a thumbs in the middle, but it's nothing special. But the DVD itself is terrible. There are ZERO extras. Nothing from Sunday Night Heat, no special interviews, or anything else. WWF DVD's usually tend to have at least a few good extras. This one wasn't one of them. Probably one to pass up unless you're a huge Kurt Angle fan.

Rating: Summary: WWF Unforgiven 2001 DVD Review: WWF Unforgiven was a great ppv. The Handicap Match with The Rock taking on Booker T. and Shane McMahon was ok, better than Summerslam. The Intercontinental Championship Match which pitted two brothers against each other was fair aswell. The Hardcore Championship Match was awesome! Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho put on a spectacular show, but their match at the King of the Ring 2002 was better. The two men hit move after move bringing the crowd to their feet. The WWF Championship was on the line in the main event between Kurt Angle and Stone Cold Steve Austin. The match surpassed the one at Summerslam! The end was great, but contriversial. All of the other matches should have not been on the card at all. Buy WWF Unforgiven today!
