Unforgiven 2002

1. Booker T, Goldust, Bubba Dudley, and Kane defeated Christian, Test, William Regal, and Lance Storm by pinfall

This was a really good opener. It was essentially a Raw main event, but did a great job of getting the crowd into the show. My only complaint is that the wrong team won.

Rating: 3 (out of 5)

2. Chris Jericho defeated Ric Flair by submission

I'm still not quite sure why these two didn't have better matches together, but this was still far from bad. Just not one would expect.

Rating: 2.25

3. Eddie Guerrero defeated Edge by pinfall

Wow, was this good. Edge was really improving and Eddie was Eddie. Very, very good match.

Rating: 3.75

4. Jamal + Rosey defeated Chuck + Billy by pinfall

This was blah as neither team was very good. Luckily, it didn't go on too long.

Rating: .75

5. Triple H defeated Rob Van Dam by pinfall

Most people aren't fond of this match, and to be honest, neither was I the first time. I really thought this was pretty good stuff the second time around, so sue me.

Rating: 3

6. Trish Stratus defeated Molly Holly by pinfall to win the Women's Championship

This was a pretty good match that needed a few more minutes to tell a story. The execution was good here and both looked good.

Rating: 1.75

7. Chris Benoit defeated Kurt Angle by pinfall

***Match Of The Night***

This was good, but nowhere near Royal Rumble 2003 quality. The botched ending aside, another great encounter between these two.

Rating: 4

8. Brock Lesnar and Undertaker fought to a double disqualification

This is another match that most don't like, mostly because of the screwy finish. If you put that aside, Lesnar put in a great effort here. He was bumping all over the place and looked like a main eventer. Not a classic main event, but very solid.

Rating: 3

This show isn't very popular among many, but there are two really good matches on here and three that are fun matches. That to me is a good show. Not a classic by any means, but a good one.

Overall Rating: 80%
