WWE Unforgiven 2000 review
The 8 man tag team match(The Right To Censor vs APA & The Dudley Boys) was short but sweet and the same goes for the Eddie Guerrero-Rikishi-IC title match. The Tazz-Jerry Lawler-strap match was not great but pretty good. The 10-minute Hardcore Battle Royal while having only 6 men instead of 15,it was still just as good as the battle royal from Wrestlemania 2000. The Chris Jericho-X Pac match was a solid,hard-hitting,back-and-forth bout. The Hardy Boys-Edge & Christian-Steel Cage match for the World tag team titles was a high-flying,hard-hitting,hardcore showstealer. The HHH-Kurt Angle match was a hard-hitting,entertaining,back-and-forth brawl. The Fatal Four Way match for the WWE title(The Rock vs Kane vs The Undertaker vs Chris Beniot) was pretty good/solid for a 4 way bout. I give this PPV a 8 out of 10.

Bought as a gift
I bought this as a gift for my husband so I haven’t watched it. The company though was great! It arrived as described and about 2 weeks earlier than expected!

Good PPV
This Unforgiven was good. It started off a little slow, but then it really picked up.1.8-man tag team matchAPA and The Dudley Boyz vs.Right To CensorThis wasn't a very good match at all. It was real short and when what happens after the match is better than what happened during the match,there is a problem.5 out of 10.2.Leather Strap MatchTazz vs.Jerry"The King"LawlerThis was a dissappointment.It just seemed slow and boring.It was also Raven's debut.6 out of 10.3.Hardcore InvitationalSteve Blackman vs.Crash vs. Test vs.Al Snow vs.Perry Saturn vs.Funaki(Hardcore Championship)This was a good match.They constantly used weapons and they fought everywhere.The only problems with this match was that it was only 10 minutes and they repeatedly used the trash can lid.I do like the concept though and I think that they should bring the Hardcore Title back.7 out of 10.4.X-Pac vs.Chris JerichoThis was a good match.It was more of a technical contest which isn't a bad thing.Many people consider X-Pac a bad wrestler,but I don't.8 out of 10.5.Steel Cage MatchHardy Boyz vs.Edge and Christian(Tag Team Championship)This match was just amazing.They did crazy moves and Matt Hardy was busted open pretty badly.Even though Jeff Hardy got out of the cage early,he came back in. There was even a Ladder involved in the match.When Lita came out to help the Hardyz,Christian was trying to climb up the Ladder to get back in,but she gave him a sick hurricanrana off the top of the Ladder.10 out of 10.6.Eddie Guerrero vs.Rikishi(Intercontinental Championship)This match actually had a history,with Eddie Guerrero and Chyna having problems.It wasn't too bad of a match, but it still wasn't up to its potential.7 out of 10.7.No Disqualification MatchTriple H vs.Kurt AngleThis match was really focused on the Hunter-Kurt-Stephanie love triangle.Mick Foley was the referee for this match too, and it was excellent.Kurt Angle delivered an overhead belly-to-belly suplex through the announcer's table.After that the match slowed down a bit but it was still great.10 out of 10.Stone Cold Steve Austin returned on this night as well,and throughout the night he jumped everybody he came into contact with including Kevin Kelly,Kurt Angle,Joe,Steve Blackman and Shane McMahon.It was hilarious!8.Fatal-4 Way MatchThe Rock vs.The Undertaker vs.Chris Benoit vs.Kane(WWF Championship Match)This match was great it had a very quick pace and all four guys performed very well,especially Chris Benoit,who laid it all out there.He almost won,but the call was reversed.The ending kind of puzzles me though:Why would Kane prevent Undertaker from breaking up the final pin? Still a great match.9 out of 10.

The Flame of Forgiveness Burns No More
Unforgiven, emanating from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was in for a wild night. The main talk going into the show was the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin to track down the man who ran him over in the parking garage at the 1999 Survivor Series. Here's my review on in my opinion, of the best PPVs the WWF produced in 20001.) 8 Man Tag Team Match: The Dudley Boyz and The APA vs The Right To CensorThis was a short opener that's nothing too special. Val Venis gets the pinfall win after Steven Richards nails Bubba Ray with a superkick. Richards gets a post-match beat down from the Dudleyz and the APA before being powerbombed through a table by Bubba______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A backstage segment with Triple H making a vow to Stephanie that he'll destroy Kurt Angle while Stephanie apologizes for ever defending Angle and that she was wrong about him2.) Strap Match: Jerry the King Lawler vs TazzTo follow up with their SummerSlam match, Jerry Lawler and Tazz would go at it once more. This time in a Strap match. Another short match, with Jerry and Tazz both getting in strap shots on each other. The only noteworthy thing about this match was Raven making his WWF debut, who interfered towards the end of the match and attacked Lawler with a DDT to give Tazz the win_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________3.) 10 Minute Hardcore Open Invitational For Hardcore Championship: Al Snow vs Crash Holly vs Test w/Trish Stratus vs Perry Saturn w/Terri vs Funaki vs Steve Blackman (c)Growing up in the Attitude Era, Hardcore matches were always my favorite and never disappointed and this match was no different. Pure excitement and entertainment at its finest with WWF superstars beating the stuffing out of each other with a variety of weapons to cease control of the Hardcore Title. The title changed hands a couple of times throughout the battle. First Crash pinned Blackman to win the title before getting jumped and pinned by Saturn, seconds later. Blackman ends up pinning Saturn to retain and win the match.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A backstage segment of Kurt Angle running into Stone Cold Steve Austin for the very first time. Angle offers Austin a gold medal and goes on to patronize him about how it's not as big as his because Austin didn't do anything to win it. Steve Austin responds to Kurt's comments with an ass whipping in the backstage area4.) X-Pac vs Chris JerichoThis match all started when X-Pac attacked Chris Jericho weeks prior, for no reason at all. X-Pac would continue his assault on Jericho, busting him open backstage with a pair of nun-chucks. And so it lead to this sure to be "bowling shoe ugly" grudge match. Jericho and X-Pac had some awesome technical matches back in WCW and it was nice to see these two technical athletes throw down again in the WWF. I never really liked X-Pac and thought he was a boring wrestler to say the least but Jericho made him look good in the ring. Jericho makes X-Pac tap out to the Walls of Jericho for the win. X-Pac jumps Jericho after the match with a nun-chucks attack______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A backstage segment with Kurt Angle complaining to Commissioner Foley about getting attacked by Stone Cold. Foley makes Angle's match with Triple H, No Disqualifications. Another backstage segment with Stone Cold, this time confronting The Rock before attacking Just Joe in the locker room______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5.) WWF Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match: Edge and Christian (c) vs The Hardy BoyzWhen people think about the Hardyz and Edge and Christian, they tend to think about their TLC matches which is ashame because this match was a great one and in my opinion, underrated. Both teams are limited to giving their usual stellar performance due to being surrounded by a cage but they make it work. A high and fast paced match with a ton of stomach dropping shots and dives. Lita interferes towards the end, followed by a sick ending that must be seen to be believed______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.) Intercontinental Championship Match: Rikishi vs Eddie Guerrero (c) w/ChynaThe build-up to this match was hilarious. Revolving around Eddie Guerrero constantly sneaking around behind Chyna's back or losing his temper with her out of jealousy. Rikishi sort of played a side part who had a grudge to settle with Eddie. Unfortunately this match did not live up to the hype or exceed expectations. Nothing noteworthy about the match and Eddie retains on a DQ. Disappointing.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Funny backstage angle with Kurt and Trish______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________7.) No Disqualifications Match: Triple H w/Stephanie McMahon vs Kurt Angle (Mick Foley as Special Referee)The storyline build up between Angle and HHH was amazing with the constant love triangle drama surrounding HHH, Stephanie, and Angle but the match was even greater! A very brutal showing of brawling was showcased throughout this match and it became even more brutal when Triple H began bleeding internally after he was belly to belly suplexed through the Spanish announce table by Angle. Angle injured Triple H's ribs prior to the PPV, so HHH's ribs were Angle's main focus in the match. This match would put a lid on the Angle/HHH feud......for now, as it would continue the following year in 2001 and in 2002.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Shane McMahon claimed that he knew who ran over Stone Cold and had video proof. Shane McMahon accuses Steve Blackman of being the one who ran over Austin and uses a video of Blackman hitting Ken Shamrock with a car on a 1998 Raw as reasoning. Blackman comes out, followed by Steve Austin who drops Blackman with a Stunner. Follow this up with 3 Stunners to Shane. This was a pretty dumb segment. Is was just to add fuel to the Blackman/McMahon feud and did nothing to advance the Stone Cold storyline. Basically just a way to treat the Philadelphia crowd______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________8.) WWF Championship Match: Chris Benoit vs Kane vs The Undertaker vs The Rock (c)Four gifted athletes step in the squared circle to compete for the prestigious WWF Heavyweight Championship. You get brawler #1, The Undertaker, the submission technician, Chris Benoit, brawler 2, Kane, and the showman, The Rock. Mix these 4 into the ring and you have yourself one heck of a main event! Each superstar soundly shows of what they have to give in the ring and it doesn't disappoint. The match didn't reach the incredible heights it could've reached, but it was still entertainingly watchable. At first it looked as if Chris Benoit was the new WWF Champion and the Age of Benoit had started after pinning Taker, following a chair shot but Commissioner Foley came out and restarted the match. The match went on for maybe another 5-10 minutes and The Rock retained to close the PPV. Watching this many many years ago when this PPV first came out, I was glad to see The Rock retain, but now that I'm older, I think that this PPV should've been Benoit's time to shine. He was over as a heel and had a great rookie year in WWFOverall: This was a pretty solid PPV. Only a couple of insignificant matches were on the card but above all else, Unforgiven 2000 was a good PPV that WWF produced in 2000.
