Unforgiven 2000 was a alright PPV, slightly down from last months great PPV Summerslam, but Unforgiven put forth a great effort nonetheless.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!
Eight Man Tag Team Match: The Dudley Boyz and The APA VS The Right To Censor. Decent opener. This match saw the RTC get the win over the Dudley's and The APA.
Strapmatch Tazz vs Jerry "The King" Lawler: A return match from Summerslam and this match was stupider than the one they had at Summerslam. Tazz gets the win when Raven runs in and helps Tazz get the win. This was Raven's debut in the WWE.
Hardcore Championship Open Invintantional. Steve Blackman vs Al Snow vs Test vs Funaki vs Crash vs Perry Saturn: This was a pretty entertaining match. 10 minute time limit and the title could change hands at any time during the time limit. Crash was able to win the title but Saturn won it from him seconds later. Saturn held to belt for about 6 mins. or so of the match. Steve Blackman won the tuile back before the match ended.
Chris Jericho vs X-Pac: I thought this was a good match despite the fact Jericho was being somewhat demoted in status. From feuding with Triple H and Chris Benoit only months earlier to feuding with X-Pac. Anyways Jericho wins his first PPV match since Wrestlemania 16 by making X-Pac submit to the Walls Of Jericho. X-Pac attacks Jericho after the match insuring that this god awful feud would continue.
Steel Cage Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The Hardy Boyz vs Edge and Christian: Easily the best match of the night. There were great spots shown by Jeff. The corkscrew from the top of the cage onto Edge and Christian was just awesome. They still show that clip from time to time. The Hardys become the new tag team champions when they escape the cage after giving a con-chair-to to Edge.
Intercontinental Championship. Eddie Guerrero vs Rikishi: Dull match. This match was only used as a precursor to Eddie's heel turn. Rikishi wins on a DQ which means Eddie retains his title.
No DQ. Triple H vs Kurt Angle with Mick Foley as guest ref: Excellent match. A return match from Summerslam. Angle dominates most of the match by working Triple H's ribs. Triple H wins when Stephanie McMahon kick Kurt in the balls and Triple H gives him the Pedigree. This moment was a brief Triple H turns into a babyface angle.
Fatal Fourway Match for the WWE Championship. The Rock vs The Undertaker vs Kane vs Chris Benoit: Great match. I remember pulling for Undertaker to win but he didn't. Benoit had pinned Undertaker but his foot was on the rop and the ref didn't detect it so Mick Foley made the match continue. Rock eventually wins by hitting the Rock Bottom on Benoit for the 1-2-3. Rock keeps his title and will go on to No Mercy to defend the title.
This PPV also saw the return of Stone Cold Steve Assclown who was searching for the mystery driver who ran him down at the 1999 Survivor Series.
Overall this PPV deserves a B-. As the PPV'S would eventually go down the tube Unforgiven remains as a strong effort but it dosn't quite cut it. Unfortunately the next PPV No Mercy would go down even further, and that had Stone Cold return to the ring.
