Unforgiven 2004

1. Chris Benoit + William Regal defeated Ric Flair + Batista by submission

Now this was a good tag team match. Batista was showing signs of improvement, but watching the three veterans in there was good fun.

Rating: 3.25 (out of 5)

2. Trish Stratus defeated Victoria by pinfall

This was a real solid wrestling match here. Trish's character development really help put her over as someone you wanted to watch in the ring.

Rating: 2.25

3. Tomko defeated Stevie Richards by pinfall

Unfortunately, that led to this. Why the referee let this go on so long is beyond me? The crowd turned on the angle within seconds and this was just torture to watch.

Rating: 0

4. Chris Jericho defeated Christian in a Ladder Match to win the Intercontinental Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This match doesn't get nearly the credit it deserves. Okay, it's obvious that I love both of these guys, but still, just because they didn't have any death defying spots, doesn't mean this doesn't rule.

Rating: 4

5. Shawn Michaels defeated Kane by pinfall

Does Shawn Michaels ever have bad matches? There certainly aren't many.

Rating: 3

6. La Resistance defeated Tajiri + Rhyno by pinfall

Hey, another pretty good tag match. I actually really liked the team of Tajiri + Rhyno. It's just too bad they never did anything with them.

Rating: 2

7. Triple H defeated Randy Orton by pinfall to win the World Heavyweight Championship

And just like that, the Orton era is over. This was an okay match and their first of many over the years.

Rating: 2.5

Well, minus the one absolutely horrible match, this was actually a pretty good show. Raw was the better show at this time, but that isn't saying much because this was the low point for Smackdown. However, everyone brought their working shoes and put on a solid Raw-only show.
