"1. Chris Benoit & William Regal vs. Batista & Ric Flair
A decent opener, though a bit slow throughout the match. Regal looks pretty sloppy and out of place, but Benoit does his best to make up for it. An entertaining opener, but nothing spectacular. Good way to start the show though, with the right team winning. 6/10

2. WWE Women's Championship Match: Trish Stratus (c) vs. Victoria
As usual, the standard women's match. Need I say more? Skip. 4/10

3. Tyson Tomko vs. Steven Richards
This match wasn't announced to be on the card, but it was a suprise. I've had better suprises in my crap. Don't even bother, you'll only waste your time. 2/10

4. Ladder Match for the Vacant Intercontinental Championship: Chris Jericho vs. Christian
Now, the PPV finally starts to get good. This is a great ladder match between these two. They both know how to work well together, and theres a couple great spots too. Great performance by Jericho, as usual, and Christian looks good too. They use the ladder in really innovative ways too, which is very cool. Come to think of it, this is probably responsible for the Money in the Bank ladder match in a way. Overall, a great match, make sure you watch this one. 9/10

5. No Disqualification Match: Shawn Michaels vs. Kane
This is a great match between the Showstopper and Kane. I'm glad they added the No DQ stipulation, because even though they don't use it that much, it gives them a lot more freedom. Kane and HBK both work well in this match, and put on noteworthy performances. Just a good match in general, very entertaining. 8.5/10

6. World Tag Team Championship Match: La Resistance vs. Rhyno & Tajiri
A decent tag match here, everybody looks pretty solid. However, I think the wrong team wins this one. Overall, a middle of the road match that you can skip if you want to. 5.5/10

7. World Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Orton (c) vs. Triple H
Orton's first title defense since he won the title from Benoit in an excellent match at Summerslam 2004, and he proved in this match that he deserved to be champion. Triple H looks good in this one as well, though I think he does a little too much work on Orton's leg. Other then that, good match with a lot of back and forth action. The wrong man wins this one too, but the ending is good, with one of the most violent chair shots I've ever seen, followed up by a pedigree on one. Good title match, though Orton's reign was too short. 8.5/10

Overall, Unforgiven 2004 is a pretty good PPV, with only a couple weak spots in the card. The opener is ok, but the mid/upper card is where this event starts to look good, starting with the Ladder match, and then with HBK/Kane and the WHC match.

Match of the Night: The Ladder Match: Jericho vs. Christian. Its a very entertaining match with great spots and good wrestling. Not too much to complain about here, both look good in the ring and give us a great ladder match. One of the better matches of 2004."

"LIVE AT THE ROSEGARDEN: UNFORGIVEN

Being at a PPV was amazing. theres more energy and you can feel the excitement. Better then being at a raw.

1. BENOIT/REGAL VS. BATISTARIC FLAIR
This was a great opener. A strait forward wrestling match.
(8/10)

2. TRISH VS. VICTORIA
A decent and good womens match. But this match leads to something horrable
(6/10)

3. Tomco vs. steven richards
1/10 says it all.

4. ladder match
Y2J vs. CLB
Better then I thought it would be being Christian just came off a back injury. A awsome ladder match.
(10/10)

5. NO DQ
HBK VS. KANE
A 20 minute slobber knocker. HBKs return. Whats not to love
(10/10)

6. la resistance vs. ryhno/tajiri
Okay. Could have been better
(7.5/10)

7. randy vs. HHH
A really good and unpredictable match. thought randy would have retained WHT. Of course HHH cheats, again. good main event. shocked & suprised with ending
(8.5/10)

Good solid ppv if you like the current raw action

"If you hate Triple H, you will not like this soon to be released DVD. His match with Randy Orton was good and had an exciting ending, something we haven't seen in a long time with the "roll-up" and submission ending fever we have been dealt with so much. Yes, Triple H becomes the nine time champion, only behind Hogan(12) and Flair (16), but I think he is a good champion and it is better to have a heal as champ so the fan favorites can try to knock him off the top. The opening Ric Flair/Batista vs Benoit and Regal was a good opener. The team of Benoit and Regal won for all you Benoit junkies. Trish and Victoria was good as usual. Tomko vs Steven Richards was a tad bit boring and should have been a 20 second squash instead of an actual match. Christian and Jericho put on a great ladder match with many giant bump spots. These two never give a bad show when together. Shawn Michaels vs Kane was awesome. No one can say Kane is not a good preformer. His match with HBK was outstanding and full of back and forth action. This is one of the best matches. Worth the money alone in my opinion. La Resistance vs Rhino and Tajiri was pretty expected and not all that great. Not a terrible match, just not that great. Really no reason to care about this match. La Resistance seems like the only "true" tag team on raw anymore, so who knows when they will finally drop the belts. Overall, I liked this ppv. I am not a Benoit fan, and I was glad to see a new champ crowned on the last two ppv's. I think it was good to shake things up and get the fans into something different for the next interactive ppv, Taboo Tuesday, Oct 19, 2004. If you are a hard core wrestling fan, then I don't see why WWE Unforgiven 2004 won't please you. You may not like some of the outcomes, but the show was a great raw brand ppv."

The Return of HBK!!!!!!!

"Hello all if you have been reading this reviews of other people their saying that this is a decent PPV how wrong! This PPV is great!!!!!

Chris Benoit & William Regal vs. Ric Flair & Batista. This is a great and I mean GREAT opener. I thought Flair & Batista would win but Benoit and Regal win after Flair tapped out to the Crossface. 9.5/10

Trish Stratus vs. Victoria for the Women's Championship. I believe this was a bad match. Trish & Victoria are the 2 best women wrestlers in the business today and they proved it in this match. Trish retains and this sets up the next match. 4.5/10

Tyson Tomko vs. Steven Richards. This was such filler it is not even funny. But the match was hilarious with Richards "doing things" to Tomko's body parts. Anyways, Tomko picks up the win. 3/10

Chris Jericho vs. Christian in a Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship. Okay it's a Ladder Match with Y2J there's your 10 right there but to make it better Christian puts on a good performance. This was a great match and maybe the best of 2004 that I can remember. 10/10

Shawn Michaels vs. Kane in a No Disqualification Match. Another great bloody battle. The best part is that it's the return of HBK. Kane chokeslammes HBK through the announce table!!!!! In the end HBK wins with Sweet Chin Music. The Best Match of the Night!!! 10/10

La Resistance vs. Rhyno & Tajiri for the World Tag Team Championships. You call this a Tag Match!!!! The first Tag Match is 2 times better then this. Garbage ending as well. La Resistance wins enough said. 4.5/10

Randy Orton vs. Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship. Pretty good Main Event but it's the 3rd best Match of the Night because of the Y2J vs. CLB & HBK vs. Kane matches. Horrible ending with Orton beating everybody up then walking into a Pedigree. 9/10

Overall this could be the best single brand PPV EVER!!!! No joking. Buy this NOW!!!!!!!!!!
