WWE: Unforgiven 2008

I never gave much thought to Scramble matches but I was buying some WWE PPV's and this happened to be one of them. I will say they are trying anther scramble match in a few weeks at The Bash. Sadly, it'll be the last time we see Tommy Dreamer as ECW champion but I digress.ECW Scramble Match Miz VS Matt Hardy VS Finlay VS Chavo Guererro VS Mark Henry: Miz and Hardy start off and put on a pretty good match. Chavo enters and quickly hits a frog splash and wins the belt within seconds of entering. After some back and fourth action Hardy pins Chavo with a side effect (sorry Hardy fans if I got that wrong) to win the belt for now. I will admit that this is pretty good so far. Henry comes in to over power all three wrestlers, can you believe how long WWF/WWE has kept this guy? Henry wins the world title back by pinning Chavo. Finaly enters and wins the world title, so everyone but Miz has won the world title. Hardy wins the world title with three minutes to go and everything gets crazy. This was an awesome match up but I wonder if the other scramble matches will be any good.Cryme Tyme VS DiBiase and Rhodes: The almost extinct tag team division gets a good match from two of the only four tag teams remaining. I thought the ending was cool. Manu comes in at the end to attack Cryme Tyme in his short lived WWE career.Chris Jericho VS Shawn Michaels: This is a rare well built WWE feud, something they rarely does anymore. Jericho seems like he can do no wrong in the past year and I really miss Michaels. A must see, can't miss match. HBK wins after punching Jerchio over and over in the head with his belt.We're then introduced to ManuSmackdown Scramble match with Triple H VS Jeff Hardy VS M.V.P VS The Brian Kendrick VS Shelton Benjamin: The match has some well deserving world champions but I think Kendrick is still too green to win the world title. Hardy enters first and faces Benjamin in the opening five minutes. Ross calls Benjamin the greatest athelete in the WWE today which is hard to agrue. Kendrick enters without a title change but the match is flowing well. Jeff Hardy gets the first win in the match with a pin over Kendrick but after some much back and fourth action, Kendrick wins the world title. MVP goes for a drive by on Benjamin but Kendrick stops it with an awesome leg lariat. Kendrick is pretty impressive as he tries to hold onto to his belt, well until Triple H enters the mix. Triple H enters and clears house and hits a pedigree on Kendrick and wins back his belt within seconds. A sad sight to see because I prefer fresh champions over the same old champions like Edge, Cena, and Triple H. Hardy wins back the belt over Kendrick and the last minute is ticking down. The last minute is exciting as Hardy seems destined to win the world title but alas, Triple H wins back his world title. A damn good finish to a damn good match up, even though Triple H won it in the end.Why the hell do they insert dvd commericals on this dvd set? It seems out of place.CM Punk is interviewed and taken out of the picture. This might be why I didnt buy this PPV, taking out the best wrestler in the Raw scramble.Maryse VS Michelle McCool: SkipBig Show does a promo about being left out of the scramble match by Vickie Guererro. I like Show and he is a funny guy but he should quit wrestlng like Vickie did. Undertaker then does a promo on her and then goes to attack her. However, Show attacks Taker. Who couldn't see that coming? Show needs some fresh feuds rather then facing the same old wrestlers. Then again, same could be said for alot of WWE wrestlers.Raw Scramble Match with Batista VS Rey Mysterio VS Kane VS JBL VS Chris Jericho: CM Punk was taken out earlier, which was a shame because i'm sick of all these wrestlers on Raw. Batista and JBL start off the match with a decent brawl but nothing worthy of the main event. The very stale Kane enters the mix with a pinfall being scored. Kane beats JBL with a choke slam for the first title change. Rey Mysterio enters and goes straight to Kane, Mysterio looks like a zebra. Chris Jericho makes a surprise entrant into the match and he looks beat up badly. Batista wins the belt with seconds ticking down but Jericho sneaks in and scores a pin fall on Kane. A very good way to end a crappy Raw main event.Overall, this is a must own PPV. Given the way world titles are exchanged back and fourth like crazy today, I don't mind the scramble matches. Raw is stale and boring but I did enjoy the ending of the match. The only match that sucked was the diva's match. A must own PPV to add to your wrestling collection.

Great

I gotta admit, I love the new ECW Championship Belt Design and Color. But I also love how they put up for grabs in the first ever Scramble match in the History of WWE. including Matches involving the Scramble Match are: WWE Heavyweight Title and the World Heavyweight Title from Smackdown and Raw

After the poorly bad card at last year's Unforgiven, WWE wanted to try something different and new this year. We have seen Hell in a Cell, Elimination Chamber, Money in the Bank, Royal Rumble, TLC, Steel Cage, Last Man Standing, First Blood, Parking Lot Brawl,and much more. We've seen nearly every single match type this year already leading into the Unforgiven event. So this time around we saw the Championship Scramble match. To those who don't know the rules, here they are...- 20 Minute Time Limit Match- 2 Men start and every 5 minutes at random a new superstar enters the match- Whoever scores a pin fall or submission during the 20 minute time limit becomes the current World Champion- At the end of the 20 minutes, whoever is the current World Champion becomes the offcial World Champion1. Ecw World Championship Scramble MatchMatt Hardy vs. Finlay vs. Miz vs. Mark Henry vs. Chavo GuerreroThis was an excellent way to start things off. And as others stated this was the best scramble match out of the 3. Hardy and Guerrero had very good showings. Even the Miz impressed me in this match. He would also bleed towards the end of the match. All four guys did a good job selling the big power moves by Henry. The falls came at perfect times. Great match. Truly a crowning moment for Matt Hardy. 4.5/52. World Tag Team ChampionshipCryme Tyme vs. Cody Rhodes and Ted DibiaseThis was a very good tag team match. Cryme Tyme looked pretty good in this one and of course so did the tag champs of Dibiase and Rhodes. A very good wrestling tag bout. After the match, Manu makes his debut. A pretty good tag team match up. 3.5/53. Non-Sanctioned MatchShawn Michaels vs. Chris JerichoThis was defiantely the most personal and emotional match of the night. HBK came for revenge and thats what he got. HBK just whelled on Jericho each moment he got. Cade would interfere. But soon gets his after being put through the announce table along with Jericho. The ref stopped the match once Shawn wouldn't stop beating on Jericho with his belt. Brutal match, especially for Jericho. 4.5/54. WWE Championship Scramble MatchTriple H vs. Brian Kendrick vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. MVPThis was another very good scramble match. Shelton and Hardy kept this match interesting in my view. So did Kendrick as well. Once HHH made his enterance, he really picked things up. It went a little bit slow at some points. But this defiantely lived up to my expectations. Another great match up. 4.25/5This is the point in the card where Eve interviews CM Punk on his match and then gets taken out by Randy Orton along with Dibiase, Rhodes, and Manu. A good segment to check out.5. Divas ChampionshipMichelle McCool vs. MaryseI thought when the Divas title was released, it was a joke but these two showed me something in this match. This was actually one of the bests women's matches of the year. I really enjoyed watching this match. Maryse used a few good submissions on Michelle. A pretty good women's title match. 3/5At this point in the show is where the Big Show comes out and taunts the crowd about not being in a Championship Scramble match. Soon Vickie Guerrero comes out. Then out of no where a casket pops up and the Undertaker reveals himself. As thinking Big Show is on Taker's side, he pops Taker with one of his big right fist blows. Taker and Big Show brawled for a good while until Vickie would slap Taker and spit in his face. A nice little brawl between these two monsters and worth a watch.6. World Heavyweight Championship Scramble MatchChris Jericho vs. Batista vs. Kane vs. Rey Mysterio vs. JBLThis scramble match really disappointed me. It wasn't bad but it just didn't live up to the hype as the first two did. Not a whole bunch of falls surrendered in this match either. Kane and Batista had a very good showing. Of course the shocker in this match is Jericho being the replacement man after Punk got taken out. A good scramble match but in my eyes could have been better. A lot better. 4/5Unforgiven is one I recommend taking a look at. Every match on the card is very good.

Good dvd

I brought this dvd for my son who likes wwe as he got loads of them.He said that this dvd is great and the matches on it was all excellent.All I can say I have to take his word as he likes everything about wrestling.

WWE took a chance by putting in a new match type - The Scramble Match - THREE times in one event.Fortunately, all three were very good.The highlights from this PPV were a great showing from THE Brian Kendrick, and a great twist at the end of the World Heavyweight title Scramble

this was a present and was thoroughly enjoyed

Good Quality
