World Wrestling Entertainment – Unforgiven 2002 – 22nd September 2002
After Summerslam the landscape of the WWE shifted sizeably once again. Stephanie McMahon announced that she’d signed new WWE Champion Brock Lesnar to an exclusive Smackdown contract. In response Eric Bischoff confirmed that he now very much disputed the ‘Undisputed’ moniker of that belt. Effectively once again the top prizes in the promotion were split, with Lesnar appearing for the blue brand as WWE Champion, and Bischoff breaking out the ‘Big Gold Belt’ and simply awarding it to Triple H, crowning him Raw’s ‘World Champion’. That’s right. No tournament, no big ppv match to crown a new champion. Bischoff merely GAVE the belt to Hunter. People thought it was a crock at the time, and twelve years later it still seems like appallingly arrogant, short-sighted and wasteful booking. Triple H defends the World Title against Rob Van Dam tonight, whilst Brock’s WWE version is being defended against the Undertaker. Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle add another chapter to their storied rivalry in the pick of the undercard matches, and there are also a couple of Summerslam rematches (Jericho/Flair and Edge/Eddie), Trish Stratus challenging Molly Holly for the Women’s Title plus a ppv debut for 3-Minute Warning. JR, Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole and Tazz are in Los Angeles, CA.
‘Tonight is a night like no other’ – creepy voice lady on the hype video. Her reasoning is that there are two World Title matches tonight. Apparently we are forgetting the Invasion angle ever happened…
The Un-Americans vs Kane/Booker T/Goldust/Bubba Ray Dudley
We have a full suite of Un-Americans competing tonight, including newest member William Regal. Kane only recently returned to television after spending most of the summer out injured, Booker and Goldust have been chasing Christian and Lance Storm for the Tag Titles for some time, whilst Bubba continues to float around not doing much of any genuine importance.
Goldust seems particularly fired up and practically demands to start the match for his team. He and Bubba hit tandem bionic elbows on the Tag Champions…before Dudley NASTILY botches an attempted tree of woe to drop Storm RIGHT ON HIS HEAD! Booker T cleans house on Test then heads up to the top rope to play D-Von Dudley in the Wassup Headbutt spot. Is that a race thing? Christian and Storm dropkick a table into Booker’s face after he’d been sent to get one by Bubba Ray handing the Un-Americans the advantage for the first time. If you’re keeping score Regal is vastly more over than any of his team-mates and is drawing serious heat. Booker fights back with the 110th Street Slam on Christian and gets the hot tag to Kane. It’s the Big Red Machine’s first time in the match and he uses it to beat up all four opponents at once…until Test heaves him into the Pumphandle Slam. Booker saves with the Ghetto Blaster…then gets dropped with Christian’s reverse DDT. The Tag Champions try double teaming Kane but can’t put him away, and Dudley rescues his team-mate with a Bubba Bomb. SHATTERED DREAMS on Christian! Big Boot on Test! Kane flies at Test with the top rope lariat then wins it with a Chokeslam on Storm at 09:59
Rating - *** - Basic in almost every way, but there was enough talent to carry it and everything after the hot tag to Kane was really hot. The live audience were rather sullen at the start but were sparked to life by the end – and that’s the whole point of the opening match. Kane got to look strong on his big return which is important as he was being lined up to be HHH’s next challenger.
Stephanie McMahon psyches up Billy & Chuck for the inter-promotional showdown with 3-Minute Warning tonight. Billy Gunn is actually funny, to the surprise of everyone.
Chris Jericho vs Ric Flair – WWE Intercontinental Title Match
Yes, after making him the laughing stock of the company for all of 2002 so far, the only way WWE could think of to rebuild Jericho was to give him the IC Title again – a belt he’d outgrown almost two years earlier. The idea here is that he’s still extremely bitter about his Summerslam defeat to Flair, whilst Nature Boy is motivated to win a championship he’s not held before in his illustrious career.
The ‘WWF’ plate is still on the IC Title belt. That probably tells you all you need to know about how much the company prioritise this championship. The first thing the two wrestlers do is to repeat the exact same slap spot that they began their Summerslam match with. Flair has an early Figure 4 attempt blocked and is sent packing to the floor with a springboard dropkick. Jericho works an abdominal stretch looking to soften Ric up for the Walls only for Naitch to escape and launch him over the turnbuckles, face-first into the top of the ringpost. The veteran stays on the head with repeated knee drops before going to work on the leg with a walking shinbreaker. Y2J’s leg collapses under him as he attempts the Lionsault and he backs off into the corner asking for a break because he thinks he’s seriously injured. To the surprise of nobody it was all a scheme and he soon dances up behind Flair, applies the Walls Of Jericho, and wins at 06:16
Rating - ** - Not that it was particularly awesome but I preferred this to Summerslam. The shorter run-time meant they had to move far more swiftly, and the body part work each man employed to prepare for their respective submission finishers was perfectly logical. After losing to a low blow at Summerslam, it also makes sense that Jericho would want to cheat to beat Flair this time around.
It’s Bischoff’s turn to give his team a pep-talk. He brings in Rico to manage 3-Minute Warning tonight since nobody knows Billy & Chuck better
Eddie Guerrero vs Edge
These two had a super-competitive match at Summerslam. Despite a hell of a performance and a quite brilliant job attacking Edge’s shoulder, Guerrero wound up losing the match. He wasn’t happy with the loss and pursued Edge for a rematch.
The announcers hype up Edge’s courage for competing despite a concussion suffered on Smackdown. Times have changed! He is pumped up on his way to the ring so Guerrero quickly leaves the ring and runs away to kill off all his momentum. Inevitably Edge does eventually get his hands on the Texan and he controls the opening minutes, despite noticeably favouring his head on multiple occasions. Finally Eddie dives at him with a tornado DDT. He follows it with a brainbuster as he starts working on the concussed skull of his opponent. A high angle back suplex has Edge curled up in the foetal position cradling his head before Eddie cranks onto the head and neck with a cravat. Edge is so woozy he can’t seem to focus on his opponent and swings some wild punches in his direction. The first couple miss by a big distance before he finally connects with one – landing with such force that Guerrero drops to the mat. Latino Heat’s response to bash the skull into the turnbuckles then STAND ON THE HEAD! Even when Edge hits back with a swinging neckbreaker simply executing the move injures him as much as his opponent. He hits a desperation Faceplant, then the Edge-O-Matic but simply isn’t inflicting enough damage to win the match. Eddie drops him with a jawbreaker…but then runs the ropes and gets dragged into a LIGERBOMB for 2! Spear avoided…EDGECUTION INSTEAD! Guerrero has his foot on the ropes! Edge thinks about a missile dropkick only for Eddie to tumble out of the way, causing him to land on his face. The turnbuckle bolt is exposed…but it’s Edge that capitalises with a SPEAR INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Eddie recovers and cracks his skull against the same bolt. SUNSET FLIP BOMB! More damage to Edge’s head, and with a little extra leverage provided by pulling the tights Guerrero is victorious at 11:56
Rating - **** - Even better than Summerslam. On that occasion Eddie was outstanding but I felt Edge’s selling let the match down a tad. Tonight Edge was every bit as good as Eddie. The way he sold the concussion was excellent – to the extent that, knowing what we do about sporting concussions in 2014 the match actually became quite uncomfortable to watch. Guerrero was really starting to build up the ‘lying, cheating and stealing’ aspect to his character now, and in the end it was his ability to break the rules which saw him succeed where he failed last month. And ironically, after delivering consistently strong in-ring performances all year since his comeback, fans were really starting to love Eddie too. He was SO good as the cheeky, tempestuous, cheating heel that fans couldn’t help but enjoy watching him perform. Loud portions of the crowd chanted for him throughout this one.
HHH strolls into the Raw locker room. He accuses RVD of having no passion, and makes fun of Ric Flair for being a big loser too. Hunter and Flair share a look before the champ leaves.
3-Minute Warning vs Billy & Chuck
Without wanting to sound overly chauvinistic – surely the stipulations here are the very definition of a win/win situation for Eric Bischoff? If he wins Stephanie has to make out with another woman, and if he loses he has to kiss Stephanie’s butt. WWE actually got some positive publicity for running a gay marriage angle with Billy & Chuck – though in the end kayfabe and reality were almost identical as B&C admitted on TV it was all a publicity stunt and they weren’t actually in a homosexual relationship. If that wasn’t enough, the whole ‘commitment ceremony’ angle on Smackdown was crashed by Raw. Bischoff wore latex old man make-up to officiate, before Rosey and Jamal invaded and assaulted Billy, Chuck and even Stephanie herself. Stephanie got a measure of revenge by dressing up as a women’s rights campaigner protesting Bischoff’s preoccupation with ‘hot lesbian action’ on television. In truth this angle wound up offending homosexuals, women, parents AND people who liked good wrestling. Nice work booking team…
The match is barely twenty seconds old before Rico interferes by hitting a roundhouse kick to Palumbo’s face. Jamal follows it up with an awesome running punt for 2. Double headbutt scores for big Samoans too as they continue to isolate Chuck. MOONSAULT MISSES for Rosey before we get tags all round. Gunn flips Jamal through the air with a clothesline…but despite being a veteran he fails to respect the oldest rule in wrestling. He knocks both 3MW’s heads together, which of course has NO EFFECT! Double headbutt on Billy! Chuck press slams Jamal off the top rope to save his partner from the Wild Samoan Splash, as Rosey counters the One & Only into a swinging facebuster. FAME ASSER ON JAMAL! Rico tries to interfere again but is tossed out by Billy. POP UP SAMOAN DROP! Jamal beats Gunn at 06:38
Rating - ** - I’ll confess that I was a big fan of 3-Minute Warning. I thought they had serious potential to be a really strong tag team for the WWE – combining the savagery of the Wild Samoans, the destructive style of the Road Warriors with a contemporary edge to their gimmick to keep them relevant. The whole point of this match was to get them over as beasts and it really worked. They showcased solid tag team fundamentals alongside their assortment of surprising agility and stunning power moves. Jamal (who would go on to become Umaga) was obviously the more naturally gifted of the two but they really worked well together. Credit to Billy & Chuck too, who took serious bumps and tossed themselves around to make the new team look good. Rumour has it they got legitimately banged up by the new guys in this feud, which led to pretty immediate heat on 3MW and probably goes some way to explaining why their team never really amounted to anything.

Triple H vs Rob Van Dam – World Heavyweight Title Match
As discussed in my opening paragraph, with Brock Lesnar now exclusive to Smackdown Eric Bischoff made the understandable decision that he now disputed the WWE Championship and needed his own World Title on Raw. In one promo he dubbed HHH Raw’s #1 contender (despite losing his last two ppv matches) and awarded him the new World Heavyweight Championship as a result. It was bogus from a kayfabe, non-kayfabe or any other perspective you wanted to look at it from. I can’t believe even HHH thought it was a great idea. RVD was soon crowned #1 contender and the two had a rather perfunctory feud leading up to this one. Van Dam’s promo mocking HHH for being muscular and good at spitting water was rather amusing though.
JR’s assertion that RVD is quicker than Triple H may be the biggest instance of someone stating the obvious that I’ve ever heard. He gives Hunter a tasty slap across the face as the champ tries to intimidate him, and Van Dam keeps using the aforementioned speed advantage alongside repeated headlocks to dominate the early going. HHH looks flustered and leaves the ring…so Van Dam makes fun of his water spitting again. Helmsley is getting outwrestled at every turn and can’t find a way to combat the unique offensive approach of the challenger. Finally Rob takes one risk too many, and MISSES a somersault plancha. As in…somersaults over the ropes into a full-on back bump on the floor. Ouch! Triple H immediately slows the pace and methodically beats Van Dam down. Most of his offence is basic but it prevents RVD from mounting any kind of comeback for several minutes. Finally the challenger connects with a flurry of kicks from all angles followed by Rolling Thunder. Once again HHH tries to leave the ring…but this time Rob connects with his aerial offence and wipes him out with a pescado. The ref is bumped (poor Hebner has to bump in most of Hunter’s matches at this point) and lies KO’d on the outside as Van Dam scales the ropes for the Five Star Frog Splash. Triple H is fortunate to avoid defeat and responds by hitting RVD in the nuts then bringing a sledgehammer into the ring. Ric Flair runs in and grabs the hammer…and blasts Van Dam in the ribs with it! HHH then wins with a Pedigree at 18:19
Rating - ** - This match isn’t as bad as a lot of people make out. Some of the ideas they went with were actually really fun. I loved the idea of RVD outwrestling Triple H, and Van Dam’s relaxed persona and gimmick made such a natural foil to the super-intense HHH. BUT, beyond that they lacked chemistry as opponents. Rob has never been particularly intelligent in how he wrestles, and HHH is nowhere near quick enough to trade spots with RVD in 'his' kind of match either. What we got was a rather plodding, dull heat segment ending with a crappy finish. Obviously this turned out to be historically significant as it began Flair’s alliance with HHH and laid the foundations for Evolution. But coming off the back of HHH’s lame coronation as World Champion this was a lacklustre first ppv defence for him. No doubt Rob Van Dam was blamed…
D’Lo Brown and Billy Kidman discuss being jobbers and ponder how they are still employed. They also talk to some TV star I’ve never heard of.
Molly Holly vs Trish Stratus – WWE Women’s Title Match
It was three months ago that we saw Molly defeat Trish for the Women’s Title at King Of The Ring. The fact that the belt hasn’t been on pay-per-view since then should tell you everything you need to know about how successful ‘fat ass virgin’ Molly’s run was.
They begin with some sound chain-wrestling and Trish looks every bit as capable as Molly. She snatches the advantage with a swinging neckbreaker but then misses a rather optimistic elbow drop which allows the champion to toss her through the ropes. The challenger takes some nasty bumps against the rails and steps then has her spine stretched out in a stranglehold camel clutch. Trish lands a bulldog then the Chick Kick for 2. In turn Molly blocks the headstand headscissors out of the corner and counters to a SURFBOARD around the turnbuckles. A handspring ass attack follows that for a nearfall. Despite that Stratus hits another bulldog and wins back the Women’s Title at 05:47
Rating - ** - The action was impressive in its flawless execution but everything was too rushed to really mean anything. Molly just wasn’t over at all, despite looking great in her assault on Trish’s back. In the end the pop for Trish’s win felt more like a ‘yay, this match we don’t care about has finished’ ovation – and these two definitely deserved better
3-Minute Warning, Rico and Bischoff are partying with the ‘hot lesbians’ who presumably are now ‘hot bisexuals’. Eric pulls a couple of the ladies aside for Stephanie later.
Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit
A simple mistake during a trios tag which saw Angle teaming with the two Radicalz led to this feud reigniting. Benoit and Angle have been rivals for years. We’ve seen Benoit take Kurt’s Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania 16, then a year later Kurt cheated to beat Benoit at Mania 17 – starting a bitter war which saw them contest a 30-minute Ultimate Submission Match, a Steel Cage Match and even a Three Stages Of Hell Match. It only took three months following Benoit’s comeback from a serious neck injury for these two to be at each other’s throats again…
The first lock-up is so intense that they fall out of the ring, pretty much setting the stall out for how this one is going to go. They jostle for superiority on the canvas next, and it’s Benoit who inflicts the first psychological blow as he comes close to locking in the Crossface. Angle is quick to respond though, going all Olympic on the Crippler and forcing him to dive into the ropes to avoid the Anklelock. These two are never more than mere centimetres apart from each other as they effortlessly chain back and forth. Once again Chris comes close to applying the Crossface though, and this time Angle has to leave the ring to catch his breath. Benoit tries to attack his shoulder prompting Kurt to go on the defensive and deliver some clubbing blows to the surgically repaired neck. Grounded bearhug applied next…with an additional bodyscissors to suck even more air out of the Canadian’s lungs. Clearly his desire is to attack the ribs and make it impossible for Benoit to catch his breath…but he has seen that tactic before and counteracts it by repeatedly smashing Angle’s shoulder into the ringpost. Angle hits a belly to belly suplex, but lies on the canvas alongside his fallen opponent as pain from his injured shoulder pulses through his body. ROLLING GERMANS BY BENOIT! ROLLING GERMANS BY ANGLE! GERMAN SUPLEX DUEL! Kurt wins that (having inflicted more damage to Benoit’s ribs than Chris had to his arm) as the crowd gives the two men a standing ovation. Angle Slam COUNTERED TO A FACE DROP GERMAN! FLYING WOLVERINE COUNTERED WITH THE ROPE RUN BELLY TO BELLY! Anklelock locked in…before they counter back and forth into a shoulderbreaker by the Crippler. FLYING WOLVERINE TO THE SHOULDER! But Benoit injured himself hitting it so is slow to capitalise. CRIPPLER CROSSFACE! ANKLELOCK APPLIED AT THE SAME TIME! The crowd is going nuts as they counter back and forth between their two submission holds. CROSSFACE ON BENOIT! The Wolverine counters to a pin using the ropes, and wins at 13:55
Rating - ****1/2 - Absolutely awesome performance from both men. Every time they wrestle their matches seem to get better and better, with this one being their best yet. The chain wrestling was perfect. The body part work was amazing, and supported by believable (if not always consistent) selling by both of them. The last few minutes as they traded nearfalls and submissions had the place going crazy, and the finish was a brilliant reference to WrestleMania 17 when it was Kurt using the ropes to defeat Benoit. Everyone remembers Royal Rumble 2003 as their best match (and rightly so) but this was an outstanding prelude to that one. These two made a mockery of the slow, plodding main event style the likes of HHH and Undertaker were working at this point.
Marc Lloyd stands by with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. Paul E. says their feud with Undertaker became personal the second Taker tried to come after the WWE Championship…
Eric Bischoff enters the arena (‘accompanied by the LLLLLLLESBIANS’ – Fink) and summons Stephanie to face the music as a result of Smackdown’s loss earlier. The lesbians (Peaches & Cream) remove their tops then remove Stephanie’s jacket…before Eric sends Peaches and Cream away. He has another lesbian in mind, but unfortunately he has picked Smackdown’s Rikishi in drag. I mean like, REALLY FREAKING OBVIOUS drag. The pointless segment ends with Steph making out with Rikishi, before he reveals himself and Stinkfaces Bischoff.
SIDENOTE – Would you rather watch a big Samoan rub his ass in another dude’s face, or see the likes of Edge/Guerrero and Kurt/Benoit get more time? Rey Mysterio vs Chavo Guerrero didn't even get on the card and was relegated to Heat for that matter...
Brock Lesnar vs Undertaker – WWE Title Match
Having signed exclusively with the Smackdown brand, to the surprise of nobody the first taxi off the Smackdown challenger rank to Lesnar’s WWE Title was Undertaker. He’d lost the championship at Vengeance without being pinned (obviously) and was crowned #1 contender soon after Summerslam. Lesnar and Heyman clearly haven’t watched their tapes and made the same mistake DDP did in 2001 when they brought Undertaker’s now-pregnant wife into things. Brock put his hands on Sara’s pregnant stomach and Paul E. implied that he would abort Sara’s unborn child (seriously) after Brock murdered Undertaker. People watch pro-wrestling for the tasteful, high-brow writing right? Having beaten Hulk Hogan and The Rock so badly they’re both no longer on television – can Brock end the career of another WWE legend here tonight?
Lesnar gets in Undertaker’s face but backs off and cowers in the ropes when the challenger threatens him with some big punches. Tazz points out that Brock needs to wrestle Undertaker rather than brawl or fight with him…but he simply can’t get a hold of the Deadman in the opening minutes and is tossed out of the ring. Old School rope walk lands to cap a dominant first five minutes for Undertaker, and it brings Heyman onto the apron looking to interject himself into proceedings. He takes a big boot off the apron but the distraction gives Brock a route into the match. He mauls Taker in the corner and begins assaulting the ribs. The bear hug is soon locked in to inflict yet more damage – and it’s pointed out by the announcers that this is the same hold which effectively put Hulk Hogan on the shelf months earlier. It’s not your usual ‘lie around and catch your breath’ bear hug either. Brock grinds into Taker, repeatedly lifting him off the mat to slam him down again whilst still maintaining the hold. The challenger comes back with a flurry of punches to Lesnar’s ribs – looking to inflict the same injuries Brock has caused to him. Unfortunately the Phenom doesn’t have Paul E. in his corner and Heyman distracts the referee again whilst his client levels Taker with the title belt. The illegal weapon shot adds a bloody gash on his forehead to Undertaker’s lengthening list of injuries – though in truth Taker is already bored of selling the ribs so basically isn’t bothering now. He effortlessly hoists the champion into Snake Eyes and tosses Brock straight into the hapless referee. Chokeslam scores but of course there’s no referee now. Matt Hardy runs in only to be promptly dispatched with a Last Ride. Remember folks, Undertaker likes to look as superhuman as possible (and make his opponents look like idiots) by fighting off as many people as possible. The ref is bumped AGAIN so Heyman feeds Lesnar a chair. Undertaker is fighting three-on-one odds here…so naturally he is winning. DISGUSTING UNPROTECTED CHAIR SHOT! The dent on the chair is massive, the frame briefly wraps itself around Brock’s entire skull and unsurprisingly the champ drops to the floor to recover. He has bladed too (yep, Undertaker is obviously the first guy he blades for too) and he staggers back into the ring for a BIG BOOT. LEG DROP! The Ode to Hogan gets 2! Last Ride blocked, but so is the F-5. In the end they settle for punching each other so much that the poor ref (who got bumped again) decides to rule it a no contest at 20:23. As you can imagine, it goes down really well with the fans.
Rating - ** - This is another match that is remembered for being much worse than it actually was. Don’t get me wrong it has all the hallmarks of another appallingly self-indulgent and egotistical performance from Undertaker which drag it down. BUT, the one thing it has going for it is Brock Lesnar in his pomp. We were in the sweet spot after Lesnar really understood his character and how to work good matches, but also BEFORE he got burnt out and decided he hated the wrestling business. He looked smooth, slick, motivated, and the first ten minutes or so were actually really good. Undertaker, sensibly, stayed out of Brock’s clutches and looked to brawl and punch him around…then Lesnar used his wrestling skills to grind him down and attack the ribs. Sadly everything fell apart in the second half of the match. No sell everything, crush your opponent, superman Undertaker was back. He wasn’t interested in selling the ribs. He happily beat up Matt Hardy, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman at the same time. He was inevitably the first guy Brock had to blade for…and in the end he got the protection of an absolutely SH*TTY non-finish too.
SIDENOTE – I understand they were building to a rematch where Brock would go over (in Hell In A Cell no less) but there is no excuse for that finish. Remember when Mick Foley was putting HHH over back in 2000? He happily jobbed to him twice in consecutive months (including a Cell Match) and it made Triple H’s career as a main event player. What makes Undertaker think he’s a big enough deal that he shouldn’t do the same thing? Apparently the original finish was Matt Hardy costing Undertaker the match. Even that would have been something before Brock got a clean win at No Mercy. But rumour has it that Taker vetoed that as well, and insisted on the non-finish. If you ever want to understand why some fans really don’t care that much for the Undertaker and simply don’t view him as the untouchable legend WWE tries to build him as then you need to look at his 2000-2003 American Bad Ass stint.
The brawl continues despite the best efforts of the entire Smackdown referee squad. No prizes for guessing who is doing the beating up, and who is being beaten up of course. Brock tries to run away after getting a Chokeslam…so Undertaker throws him straight through the massive ‘Unforgiven’ sign at the top of the stage. It’s a pretty striking visual to end the show with.
Tape Rating - ** - This is actually a far better show than most give it credit for. There isn’t a single outright ‘bad’ match on the entire card and in Edge/Guerrero and Angle/Benoit you have two of the best ppv undercard bouts of the entire year. In fact, at this point Angle/Benoit was only behind the fantastic HHH/Michaels Street Fight for my 2002 MOTY. The problem is, the WWE now has two World Championships…and they were booking them both like sh*t. On a ppv where you have two World Champions, to not have a clean finish or good match between two of them is pretty ‘unforgivable’. Another Undertaker ego trip was on full display in the main event, as months of planning and strong booking for Lesnar was wilfully squashed under the Phenom’s unwillingness to put him over. And that was after HHH and his bogus World Title reign got off to a crappy start via a forgettable title defence with a run-in finish too. To conclude my review, whilst Edge/Eddie and Angle/Benoit are both great matches – neither are acknowledged as the ‘best match’ in their respective feuds. Edge and Guerrero went on to have their outstanding No DQ Match on television, whilst Angle and Benoit capped their 2002 MOTYC here by producing 2003’s MOTY at the following Royal Rumble ppv. Since both of Unforgiven 2002’s big selling points were done better elsewhere, people only really remember this show for the two underwhelming heavyweight title matches. As such this one only gets the most minor of recommendations.
