Summary: WWF Unforgiven delivered big time!
Review: I ordered WWF Unforgiven last night, expecting it to be like WWF Backlash 2001, but I was wrong. From a fans point of view(not saying I liked it because so-and-so won, and not Mr. X for example) every single match was great. Not one match made me want to fall asleep or leave the room, etc. All the matches were superb, and not one was underhyped. 1-4 team elimination match for the WWF Tag Team Championships: The Hurricane & Lance Storm vs. Spike Dudley & The Big Show vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Dudley Boyz(champions)
2-Perry Saturn vs. Raven
3-WWF Intercontinental Championship: Christian vs. Edge(champion)
4-WCW Tag Team Championship: Kronik w/ Steven Richards vs. Kane & Undertaker (champions)
5-WWF Hardcore Championship: Chris Jericho vs. Rob Van Dam (champion)
6-WCW Championship handicap match: Booker T & Shane McMahon vs. The Rock(champion)
7-WCW U.S. Championship: Rhyno vs. Tajiri(champion)
8-WWF Championship: Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin(champion)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I was there
Review: I was there at Unforgiven in Pittsburgh in the Mellon Arena. It was a lot better in person.

First it was the Dudley Boys defending their Tag Team titles against Hardys, Lance Storm and Hurricane Helms, and Big Show and Spike Dudley.
Edge vs Christian for the IC title
Rhyno vs Tajiri for US Heavyweight
Perrry Saturn vs Raven
Kane And Undertaker vs Kronik for WCW Tag Team Titles
RVD vs Chris Jericho for HArdcore title That was a good match
The Rock vs Booker T and Shane McMahon for WCW title
Kurt Angle vs Stone Cold for WWF Title

When Kurt Angle came out, the fans were all screaming. It was one of the coolest things Ive ever seen. From where I was, Austin wasnt under the rope. He was but Angle pulled him back. Its still a good event. Im ordering it to see if I can hear the drunk guy we were with yelling swear words and bad stuff at the wrestlers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Angle does it!
Review: Kurt Angle finally did it. He won the WWF title from Stone Cold Steve Austin in another classic match. The Rock and Booker T. disappoint in the handicap match for the wcw title. Another awesome match is between Y2J and Rob Van Dam.Unforgiven is definately worth buying for some kick a$$ wrestling.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: KURT ANGLE IS THE GREATEST!!!!!!
Review: Like never before, has the WWF put together such a brutal and entertaining PPV like Unforgiven 2001. From the opening match to the historic main event, Unforgiven was packed with some of the most entertaining and enjoyable matches ever. One of the best had to be the brutal one on one between brothers Edge and Christian. Every second shown the thousands of fans the true meaning of Unforgiven. The two brothers were tearing each other apart. Although there was the fast and furious Rock match against Shane O Mac and Booker T, the extravaganza of this event was the Olympic Hero Kurt Angle unleashing fury to the back stabbing Rattlesnake Stone Cold. Kurt Angle is the greatest wrestler of all time. He won an Olympic Gold Medal with a broken neck and still left the 1996 Olympic Games, the American Gold Medal Winner and hailed a name as a true American Hero. From his first ever match in the WWF, Angle has performed with all his heart and all his strength and has gave his millions of fans some of the most stunning main events of all time. From his breathtaking Angle Slam to the painful Ankle Lock, Angle has intensity, integrity and intelligence. He beat Stone Cold down to his last breath and shown No Mercy after Stone Cold threw his Gold Medals over a bridge weeks before. It was about time Stone Cold got his butt kicked live in Kurt Angles hometown of Pittsburgh, PN. And he sure did. Angle kept on winning every second and had the match won from the very moment the bell rang. It was the speed and courage of Kurt Angle that captured the heart of an entire world. Millions of world-wide fans rose to their feet when Angle maked Austin tap out and became the new World Wrestling Federation Champion. If your a Kurt Angle fan, check out this PPV. Buy this DVD. It is sure worth buying. The fights have neveer been better!!!!!!!!ITS TRUE, ITS DAM TRUE

Summary: IT WAS EITHER A GOOD MATCH OR A BAD ONE IN THIS PPV
Review: Some matches didn't really set the world on fire formost the WCW tag match with Kronik being prominetly fired soon after this lackluster performance. Other low point were the WCW championship, it was as if I'd seen it before..oh yeah Summerslam thats right. Christian and Edge wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and the Raven and Saturn match was actually a suprisingly great outing, too bad half the fans had already hit the stands, by the time the match got started. But anyway everything was well timed and the as close to perfect as I've seen in a while. The Tajiri Match was a slaughter, even though Tajiri did get some got heat on Rhino, he's still the manbeast and gored the little guy into oblivion. Stone Cold and Angle was completely force fed and wasn't too bad, but is it me or is Austin trimming down his arsenal of moves to include only punches stunners and restholds? The 4 way tag was very entertaining, you really gotta like Huricain Helms. BY FAR the best match of the night was of course Rob Van Dam vs Jericho. I can't remember the last time I've seen a bad RVD match, anyway this was when the behind the curtain politics were hammering RVD for being to reckless and dangerous on other wrestlers, Van Dam doesn't really redeme himself in this match in fact this is complete case in point. Jericho gets the living crap beat out of him willingly, Van first kicks his shoulder and neck before the rolling thunder and Jericho is pretty vocal about it. Next Jericho misses the lionsault and gets a "harlem side kick" so hard it welts up the side of his face, and RVD has to stall for a few. Then Jericho blunders on his own and jumps out of the ring and to the guardrail. This really isn't Jerichos night. But the worst is when RVD heels him right in teh face adn Jericho actually starts to cry. Man this was bad, but still a good match but I wouldn't want to be RVD after this, wait his next PPV was a main event, nevermind then.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Up and down PPV
Review: The Dudley Boyz vs. Spike & The Big Show vs. Storm & Hurricane vs. The Hardy Boyz

Pretty fun match these guys had going. It kept me entertained, and I started cheering Big Show when he was about to jump off the top rope. **1/2

Raven vs. Perry Saturn

It wasn't bad or anything. *1/2

Edge vs. Christian - Intercontinental Title Match

Loved this match, but it could have been so much better. ***

Undertaker & Kane vs. Kronik - WCW Tag Title Match

Hahahaha, the worst match I have ever seen. All four guys are so slow, and none of them want to sell for each other. It's pitiful. -*****

Rob Van Dam vs. Chris Jericho - Hardcore Title Match

I loved this match, but the ending hurt it. Damn Steph. ****

The Rock vs. Booker T & Shane McMahon - WCW World Title Match

Another good match. Though, I don't see why they added Shane into the mix. It confuses me. ***

Tajiri vs. Rhyno - US Title Match

I forgot about this match, but I was eagerly anticipating it. Let's say I was let down. *

Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle - WWF Title Match

One of the best matches of 2001. Well maybe it wasn't that good, but it was defiantely my favourite match on the card. Plus, seeing Kurt win the title and having everybody run down like that can bring a tear to somebodies eye. ****1/2

There is no extras, so I would recommend buying it on VHS rather than DVD, unless you care so much that you can change the matches like Kronik vs. Undertaker & Kane to Rob Van Dam & Chris Jericho in a second.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: nothing special
Review: the ppv wasnt horrible but you were expecting something really great after summerslam being so strong. oh well, wwf has really gone down hill since WM 17.

1.the 4 team tag match was at most very average. plus the match had very little heat, the wwf didnt hype it until a few days before the show.

2.saturn vs. raven- i was expecting a good match, seeing as how these two were ecw icons, or atleast raven was, but in the end the wwf's watered down wrestling style killed the match.

3.taker/kane vs. kronik-quite possibly the worst match in the history of the wwf. lets see, taker has turned into hogan with his unwillingness to job or put over other wrestlers for you marks that dont now what im talking about, kane flat out..., kronik is a total joke.

4.jericho vs. rvd-thank god for this match, rvd can always put on a entertaining match and jericho did a great job.

5.tajeri vs. rhyno- this match ended a little to early, if it would of been five miniutes longer it would of been a great match.

6.rock vs. booker/shane- well lets face it, even though i like the rock he cant carry matches very well, and with booker t you have to have someone who can carry the match because booker cant carry a match against billy gunn...that's sad. the match was basically all rock vs. booker that we saw at summerslam.

7.angle vs. austin-well if they would of put the summerslam match and unforgiven's ending it would of been awesome but sadly the unforgiven match didnt pull off as great as the one at summerslam, still not a bad match though. and this match ended better than summerslam's.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: AHHH it was an ok Event.
Review: The WWF DVD in and of itself was pretty poor, it had absolutely no extras and did not arrive with a little pamphlet or booklet insidet the cover. The Event was Alright but a lot of mistakes made by the wrestlers.

WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: (Fair)
this match was ok, I expected more from the Big Show. The match was a decent starter and was entertaining.

WCW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: (Poor)
I really expected this to be a good match, it was part of the reason I was looking forward to this event. You would think Kronik and the Bros. of Destruction would put on a show for the fans, but these guys sent fans to the concession stands and bathroom breaks. Kronik's execution of 80% of the moves in the match was horrbily done and Undertaker and Kane were off key too. This was a match that could be broadcast on Smackdown or RAW not meant for a PPV.

Saturn vs. Raven (Poor)
Let's see these too faught at WCW Fall Brawl '98, WCW Road Wild '98, and WCW Bash at the Beach '98. This match wasn't worth putting on the card. Hell, the whole card was Title matchs they might as well put a Cruiserweight title match or Light heavyweight title match to fill in this load of crap.

WWF INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: (Good)
I liked the idea of this two going at it for a title belt. I really like Christian's new gimmick and the wrestling style of these guys are very similiar which made the match even more interesting. This one is worth being put on a PPV card.

WCW US CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: (fair)
This was a ok match, I've always been fond of the US Title, a bit too short wouldn't you say? Both Rhyno and Tajiri put on a decent show.

WCW CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: (Good)
Well this match was pretty good, I think they should have just taken Shane out of the match and made it a singles competition.
Shane in the ring is a joke, the only time he actually meant something in the ring was at King of the Ring. The Rock and Booker T have good ring chemistry together and it was overall a good match.

WWF CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: (Fair)
This rematch from Summerslam did not live up to the original Summerslam Match. Neither one of these guys got to hit their signature finishers. Angle had a really good stunner on Austin though, but Austin's "angle slam" was about as bad as the Raven vs. Saturn match. this match had a controversial ending, Angle only was champ for 2 weeks, big Whoop. Oh yeah and this was a much shorter match than it's Summerslam Original.

OK so if you want to get Unforgiven sooo bad, get the VHS version, the DVD version has nothing to offer what-so-ever. This event was decent, don't rush to buy it though. summerslam was a lot better. Peace out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unforgiven 2001
Review: This is #26 out of 130 greatest WWE DVD's. It is awesome and had some great spots especially with the crowning of a new WWF Champ.

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle was a tie for match of the night and it was great and Angle is the new WWF champ and this PPV was in his Hometown.

Rob Van Dam vs. Chris Jericho was a great match that many people think it didn't live up to it standards. RVD & Y2J put on a great show and RVD retains.

This PPV is worth it for just seeing these 2 matches which were both awesome but the undercard could have been better.



Rating: 3 stars
Summary: wwf Unforgiven 2001 the best one so far
Review: this ppv started with the 4 way tag match with the titles on the line I found this match to be a good start for the ppv it was better then the 98,99, and 00 opening matchs. The next match raven vs perry dont get me wrong was a good match but I dont think it belongs on ppv. Edge vs Christan is a match that I really enjoyed except for the finnish I wanted Christan to win but not like that. Then came the brothers of destruction taking on kronik many people did not like this match but I dont have a problem with it I do have to agree that it dident live up to its build up. A real good hardcore title match came up next with rvd and Y2J it got off to a slow but fun to watch start and the only problem I had with it was the fact it barely had any build up. wcw title was on the line next in a handicap match which I thought was a good match the only thing was shane did not do anything great some people say the match at summer slam was better but I think they are equaly good. the us title match between Rhyno and Tajiri this was another match that I liked but it was short and like the hardcore match had no build up. finnaly the main event kurt angle and stone cold a lot of people say it did not live up to its build up but I think it did that and more I have also heard people comment that the match at summer slam was better but once again I disagree I thinl this match was better execpt for how quick austin taped out.
