Wwe: Unforgiven 2007 [DVD]

This DVD contains the full 2007 Unforgiven event, headlined by a grudge match between The Undertaker and Mark Henry, on a single disc. It has two bonus features: Undertaker's exit from Unforgiven and an incident from RAW between John Cena Sr. and Randy Orton.CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke -The opening contest was for CM Punk's ECW Championship. It was a good match with some good psychology. Burke targeted the lower back of Punk throughout the action to try and get the win and also to limit his offence. There were some good reversals as Punk tried to make his comeback and the finish made sense with the work they were doing on Punk's back. It wasn't Punk's best match at all but it was an entertaining, well paced opener.Matt Hardy and MVP vs. Deuce and Domino - This Tag Team match was for the WWE Tag Team Championship, held by MVP and Hardy. The story with this match was MVP and Hardy were rivals and tag partners, which led to them trying to one up each other here. Which benefited them early on but eventually cost them and allowed their opponents to take control. I enjoyed the story with MVP and Hardy and the match was decent with a good finish. It felt like it could have been a TV match but it was an entertaining watch anyway.Triple H vs. Carlito - In this match it was No Disqualification for Carlito only, Triple H had to stick to the rules. That was an interesting stipulation and I enjoyed the execution. It wasn't the greatest match but it was a fun one. Triple H dominated the in ring portions of the match but Carlito took full advantage of the rules to even things up and create a competitive match. It built well and I really liked the finish.Candice Michelle vs. Beth Phoenix - This was for Michelle's WWE Women's Championship. This was a pretty enjoyable match. It had a simple story of Phoenix using her superior strength to dominate the action and Michelle desperately trying to fight back. Beth worked over Candice's back which she sold well. It lasted a good amount of time for the story they were telling and had a good, decisive finish.The Great Khali vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Batista - This Triple Threat match was for Khali's World Heavyweight Championship. Considering it was The Great Khali, this was a pretty good match. Batista and Mysterio tried to team up to take on Khali but Khali used his size and power to dominate them anyway and keep them separate so he could beat down Mysterio. They played to Khali's strengths and tried to minimise his weaknesses which lead to a fun contest with an exciting closing stretch. It was kept short but that was for the best really. This was the best I could have hoped for and I really enjoyed it.Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch vs. Brian Kendrick and Paul London - This one was for the World Tag Team Championship. It was a good, competitive tag team match. It was a good blend of styles with the high flying, fast paced London and Kendrick trying to use their speed against the more grounded style of Cade and Murdoch, who aimed to isolate an opponent and wear them down. Both teams worked really well together and kept the action entertaining. It built well to a good, decisive finish.John Cena vs. Randy Orton - This one was for Cena's WWE Championship. This feud had gotten very personal here and you could feel that in the action. There was no lock-up, just straight to fighting. The action here was very good and it was looking like it was going to become a clear match of the night. Unfortunately though we got an unsatisfying finish after less than ten minutes which hurt this. It was such a shame because it felt like a really exciting match was building throughout the action but it didn't lead to the match the action promised.The Undertaker vs. Mark Henry - This was the main event of the evening. It was an entertaining, if a bit of a predictable, main event. The Undertaker looked strong early on but Henry used his strength and size to take over control and work over The Undertaker's back. It lasted about the right amount of time for the match they were having, although I think one more near-fall would have helped it. It had a decisive finish and a feel-good moment to end the show on. Nothing memorable action-wise but I enjoyed it anyway.This was a fairly good event overall. There are no must-see matches on the show and not a lot you'll come away from the event remembering, however there is a good amount of entertaining action on the show and several enjoyable matches. It's worth a watch if you get the chance but you won't be missing anything important if you skip it.

September 2007 and unforgiven was given a real hype boast with the return of the undertaker after a four month hiatus,the event was actually alot better than anticipated and despite having the official theme tune played by alterbridge there wasnt too many negatives.The event opened well with the ECW championship,the holder cm punk went up against elijah burke in a fast paced aggressive enough match,like i said this was a good opener and cm punk put on a great performance although i feel he carried burke at times who for one reason or another wasnt quite at the races on this night.Next up was the tag team championship,the unlikely tag team champs were MVP and matt hardy and they went up against deuce and domino,this again was good,the tension between hardy and MVP was at times more interesting than the match but that being said some great moves were performed and the ending was grand with me.Onwards we go then with a no disqualification match with a difference,triple h (who could be disqualified) went up against carlito,who couldnt,so what we got here was a match where carlito could do what he wanted against a man who couldnt and it was entertaining,not as violent as it could have been but fun all the same,carlito hammed it up as the villain that likes to be cool and triple h had to take it with a smile at times but the ending was great and this was certainly one of the most entertaining matches of the night.The ladies title followed and was between the champ candice michelle and the lovely beth phoenix,beth was all over candice here in a match that was ok in truth,a very one sided affair with a safe ending in truth but this is a womans match i could watch again and its seldom that i say that hey.Next up was a triple threat match for the world heavyweight championship,the holder,the great khali went up against rey mysterio and batista in a match that was solid enough but neither man overly impressed and the finisher move that won it wasnt the best but we were treated to a match with both pace and rugged strength so the best of both worlds then.The world tag team championship match was up next and lance murdoch and trevor murdoch,the champs,went up against paul london and brian kendrick,this was a very good match,very good indeed,both teams impressed,different types of team here,but together they put on a good show,i cant fault this in truth.The next match certainly came with faults and was certainly used to fuel the war that lay ahead for both men,randy orton,the champ,against a very angry john cena who was coose that his dad was kicked in the loaf by orton,this match lasted 7 minutes and was savage enough with cena failing to hold it together and too much attention being given to cenas father,not great but they would head into many a fight after this that was a large improvement but that wouldnt be hard.Next up was a match that was hyped but not quite justified,the match between the undertaker and mark henry was ok here,a marked improvement on their judgement day 2007 match for sure,it was physical enough and there was some skill shown but henry isnt great to watch at times but taker helped him at times,the finisher was great and with that this feud kinda fizzled out and that was a wise choice,speaking of which obtaining this is also a wise choice,3.5 out of 5.

This is a decent PPV, overall very good but the matches in my opinion could have been longer as the longest was a mere 11:52 but I would still suggest buying it.

Great DVD

Wasn't the greatest PPV i have seen but is definitely worth a watch in my opinion

if you think wwe for kids suck and want to rewind to the past and watch the old skool wwe with attitude than your in the right place with this!
