WWE Unforgiven 2006 (2006)

Undescribable Perfection

Pretty Good

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I thought this was a really enjoyable show. The wrestling was solid throughout and the main event is a must-see. The HIAC match also delivered.Intercontinental Championship Match: Johnny Nitro (c) vs. Jeff Hardy - A good, solid opening match. Not as good as some of their later matches, but still a fast-paced, well-wrestled opener. Johnny Nitro retains with help from Melina. RATING: ***Kane vs. Umaga - Just another big man match. Nothing else needs to be said. It ends in a double count-out. RATING: **World Tag Team Championship Match: The Spirit Squad vs. The Highlanders - A decent tag team match, nothing too special about it. The Spirit Squad retain their tag titles. RATING: **1/2Tag Team Hell in a Cell Match: D-Generation X vs. Team McMahons and The Big Show - This definitely lived up to its hype, as it was a crazy, brutal match. These teams had an absolute war that had funny moments to boot. DX wins the match with a Sweet Chin Music and a sledgehammer to Vince. RATING: ****Randy Orton vs. Carlito - Kind of questionable to put this right before the main event, but still a solid match. Carlito is an underrated in-ring performer, and Orton has always been an exciting talent. Randy Orton wins with an impressive RKO in mid-air. RATING: ***Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match for the WWE Championship: Edge (c) vs. John Cena - Incredible match. The Cena/Edge feud was amazing, and this match is definitely their best. It had the perfect balance of awesome spots and storytelling. Edge's hometown crowd booing Cena also added to the atmosphere. John Cena wins the match and wins back the Championship. RATING: ****1/2Definitely a show worth tracking down, and probably one of the better PPV's of 2006.RATING: B

Match 1: Johnny Nitro (c) vs Jeff Hardy for the Intercontinental Championship - Great opening contest for Raw's second highest prize at the moment. Jeff really poised himself for this shot after returning the night after Summerslam. Nitro uses Melina's help in the end to retain the title against Hardy. Fans really wanted Hardy to win, but he eventually got the best of Nitro. Good match nevertheless.Match 2: Kane vs Umaga - This feud really was a highly awaited one for this particular pay per view. Umaga, up to this point, was a not-so-great performer on Raw. The veteran in this one, Kane, really carried a good match at best out of him. The match ends on a cliff hanger with both men getting counted out.Match 3: The Spirit Squad (c) vs The Highlanders for the World Tag Team Championshi - The Highlanders really appeared as a great team on Raw since debuting on July 3 in 2006. The duo earned this shot at the titles after winning some sort of a triple threat tag team match. The Highlanders were my pick to win this one, because I personally liked them. In the end the Spirit Squad cheats again and retain their titles. Better than average tag title match.Match 4: D-Generation X vs Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon & The Big Show in a Handicap Hell in a Cell match - This night was full of some great matches. Most importantly this one was anticipated a lot from the Raw fans. A great match with a lot of carnage involved. In the end Triple H and Shawn Michaels pull down Big Show's trunk and shove Mr. McMahon's face into his large backside. D-Generation X gets the win, incredible brawl.Match 5: Lita (c) vs Trish Stratus for the Women's Championship - In Trish's final match she takes on long time rival Lita. The two once again put on a great performance. In the end Trish makes Lita submit to the sharpshooter to regain the Women's title for the seventh time.Match 6: Carlito vs Randy Orton - A very impressive match. Both of these overlooked competitors on Raw. Orton and Carlito put on a great performance in this Raw brand event. The ending is memorable when Carlito goes for a top rope spirngboard dive and Orton counters into an RKO for the win. Classic ending. Orton is your winner.Match 7: Edge (c) vs John Cena in a TLC match for the WWE Championship - Fantastic main event. With Edge beating Cena in Cena's hometown at Summerslam we see Cena return the favor by beating Edge in Edge's hometown at Unforgiven. A lot of table spots in this one. Lita interferes on Edge's behalf, but it all ends when Cena peforms a huge FU off the ladder through several tables on Edge. He then grabs down the Championship for the win. Incredible and epic main event.

Unforgiven truly lived up to expectations. All the guys and gals really tried hard and this was the best Raw PPV (up to now) for 2006. 16,000 fans watched this event? When was the last time a number like that watched a WWE PPV? Results from the show, which was held in Toronto Canada: Johnny Nitro retained the Intercontinental Championship against Jeff Hardy. Umaga and Kane fought to a double count out (which the fans booed). The Spirit Squad defeated The Highlanders. Trish Stratus defeated Lita to win the Women's Championship in a grand match. DX defeated The McMahon's and Big Show in a brutal Hell in a Cell Match. Randy Orton defeated Carlito in a good match. John Cena defeated Edge to win the WWE Championship in an exciting TLC match.Overall Grade - A

Unforgiven gets two thumbs up from me. RAW have produced a very entertaining pay per view. From the brutality in the vicious Hell in a Cell match, to the brilliance of the TLC match, RAW have hit top form. Here are the results from Unforgiven:Match 1:Intercontinental Title Match, Johhny Nitro vs. Jeff Hardy. A very entertaining opener. Only ruined by Melina interfering again. Otherwise, a good match. Winner and still champion NitroMatch 2:Kane vs. Umaga. This match was a lot better than I envisioned it. Both men beat the hell out of each other. Disappointed that the match ended in a count out.Match 3:Tag Team Title Match, The Spirit Squad vs. The Highlanders. Pretty disappointing. Probably the worst match of the night. A typical Spirit Squad match, you always knew the numbers game would win them the match. Winners and still champions The Spirit SquadMatch 4:Hell in a Cell Handicap Match, DX vs. The McMahons and The Big Show. This was an unbelievable match. First of all, a new Hell in a Cell was used for this match. It's bigger and badder than the old cell. The McMahon's were busted open after The Big Show suffered two double low blows by DX. But once Show recovered, he beat the crap out of HBK and The Game. Show busted HBK open. Soon after, HHH was busted open by Shane. The tables turned again when HBK was about to join Vince's "Kiss my Ass Club", and The Game made sure it didn't go down. Soon after this, Shane's neck might have been broken after a steel chair was opened and closed around his head. HBK then delivered a huge elbow drop on the chair. Shane started to spit up blood soon after. Vince had his head shoved into Shows crack, and I mean it was SHOVED right up Shows arse. This lead to Sweet Chin Music for Vince, and then to finish it, The Game broke his sledgehammer around the back of Vince's head for the win. Unbelievable!!! Winners, DXMatch 5:Womens Title Match, Lita vs. Trish Stratus. A good womens match for once. A fairytale ending for Trish seeing as this was her last match, in her home town. Nice touch as she won the title using Brett Hart's sharpshooter. Winner and new Womens Champion, TrishMatch 6:Randy Orton vs. Carlito. This was another very good match. Orton got a busted lip about halfway through. Orton won with a brilliant move. He caught Carlito in mid air and hit him with an RKO. Winner, Randy OrtonMatch 7:TLC Match for WWE Title, John Cena vs. Edge. This was a great match. Both men pushed each other to the limit with this one. Lita tried to interfere, but accidentally got Edge put through two tables off the top of a twelve foot ladder. She got an FU for her trouble, and so did Edge. He got FU ed off the ladder through two tables stacked on top of each other in the ring. Cena then capitalised and won the title to stay on RAW. Winner and new WWE Champion John Cena.Well congrats to RAW for a top notch paper view. Lets see how SmackDown do with No Mercy next month.
