Goldberg vs Triple Career vs Title
This was do or die for Goldberg. If he lost he would have to leave the WWE. This was a great match and will go down as one of his greatest victories over Triple H who he had animosity with over the years. I thought this PPV was pretty solid. Shawn Michaels vs Randy Orton was a great match and a big victory for Orton in his early career. The Kane vs Shane match was great too. This is a must for Goldberg fans.

Awesome show!
This was the hay day of WWE IMO - The Rock, Evolution, Test, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash, and the gorgeous Stacy Keibler! This video rocks. The matches are great, commentators are great, atmosphere back in 2003 was great - worth the $!

Shane falls 35 Feet!
I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 50 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this DVD you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful. (Note-Each DVD I review has a "Match of the DVD" award somewhere in it.)WWE Unforgiven 2003After watching Unforgiven, I have mixed emotions about this edition. Some of the matches are top notch; others are horrendous. I love the theme song, which is Enemy by Sevendust. The DVD had no extras to talk of. The event itself probably is not worth buying, but you might want to check it out for a few select matches.Handicap Table MatchWorld Tag Team ChampionshipsDudley Boyz VS La Resistance(c) & Rob ConwayThe set-up to this match was that all members of the team had to be put through a table before a winner could be declared. Members could stay in the match until it was over though. The match itself was average, but the table spots are nice. Conway takes a brutal spot, being thrown over the ropes through a table.RATING- 6.5/10Winner Gets Stacy Keibler's ServicesTest VS Scott SteinerI actually enjoyed the story moving into this match. The highlight video before the match really got me into the match. The match itself is not much though. Stacy want Steiner to win, and eventually interferes in the match. You probably will not watch this more than once.RATING- 6/10Randy Orton VS Shawn MichaelsWe have just reached the first awesome match of the evening. This is one of Orton's first Legend VS Legend Killer matches. There is a lot of good wrestling, and HBK hits a huge cross body splash to the outside. The ending is weird and I feel it hurt the match a lot.RATING- 8.5/10Gal Kim & Molly Holly VS Lita & TrishThis is Gail Kim's first PPV match. This is also Lita's first PPV match back after spinal surgery. This was a solid encounter, but the crowd does not seem that into it. Lita puts on a good performance.RATING- 5/10Last Man Standing Match (Match of the DVD)Kane VS Shane McMahonInsane. That is the only word that can describe this match. Actually, I lied. Let me give you a few more words. The match has a very slow pace to it, and at the beginning does not seem that great. The match picks up over time and becomes a match full of sick spots. Shane hits a glorious Coast to Coast into steel steps. The ending features Shane falling thirty-five feet.RATING- 9/10Intercontinental ChampionshipY2J VS Christian(c) VS Rob Van DamI thought that this was another well-put together match. The problem was that the crowd did not care much after the previous match. There is a ton of highflying maneuvers, and some solid wrestling. Most of the match is fought between two men, instead of three. There is a huge Tower of Doom spot.RATING- 7/10Winners Commentates RawJim Ross & Jerry Lawler VS Coach & Al SnowThere is no commentary for this match, and the crowd is dead again. You can hear echoes every now and then. The match is primarily fought between Lawler and Snow, but Coach gets a good amount of ring time. Jim Ross only gets in the ring at the end. It brought a smile to my face to see that he was enjoying himself. Jericho makes an appearance toward the end.RATING- 3/10World Heavyweight ChampionshipTriple H(c) VS GoldbergAs far as Main Event matches go, this sucked. It was fun to see Triple H finally dethroned, but it was the wrong man to do it. Triple H works on the legs of Goldberg, because Goldberg is lethal when he is standing. The match is short as well.RATING- 6/10

Unforgiven 2003 was Unforgetable!
I just got this vhs yesterday an it was awesome! The match order was messed up but the ppv was great! Here are the matches:Match 1) Handicapt tag team tablesd match for the Tag Team Championship:(c's)La Resistance vs. Dudley BoyzMatch 2) If Test wins, he gets Stacy and Stiener's services; If Stiener wins, he gets Stacy back: Test wStacy vs. Scott StienerMatch 3) Ledgend vs. Ledgend Killer: Shawn Michaels vs. Randy OrtonMatch 4) Lita & Trish Stratus vs. Molly Holly & Gail KimMatch 5) Last Man Standing: Kane vs. Shane McMahonMatch 6) Triple Threat match for the Intercontinental Championship:(c)Christian vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Chris JerichoMatch 7) Winners brodcast Raw: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler vs. Coach & Al SnowMatch 7) WorldHeavyweight Championship:(c)Triple H vs. GoldbergHere are the results with a review:Dudley Boyz def. La Resistance & Rob Conway for the Tag Team ChampionshipA great opener with a slow start but when it continued the better it got! The best part of the match is where D'von and Bubba lifted up Conway and tossed him out of the ring through a table similar to what happened to Spike! Once again the Dudley Boyz win with a 3d on Renee through a table. A great table match! *****Test def Scott StienerAnother decent match! It had a poor ending when Test ducked to a chair shot by Stacy and it hit Stiener and Test nailed the big boot to get the 3. The rest of the match was great but Test was using Stacy as a shield many times! Because of the ending I'll give it *** 1/2Randy Orton def. Shawn MichaelsA super match! Another sad ending though when Randy nailed Michaels many times with brass knuckles when Michaels had him up for a suplex. Once again the rest of the match was awesome! It topped the Test Stiener match by far! The match was too great to give it any less then *****Lita & Trish Stratus def. Molly Holly & Gail KimA fair match with a great return by Lita! It was pretty short but Lita made the ending great with the Litasault! Lita gets her mouth busted open really badly by Molly when she was yanked off the apron and landed face first on the edge. ***Last Man Standing: Kane def. Shane McMahonThis was the best match in Unforgiven history! It had a tradgic ending when Shan went for a senton off the top of the 30 foot TitanTron of Unforgiven but Kane rolled away and Shane split right through and the referee Counted to 10 for Kane to become the Last Man Standing. Great, deadly match! *****Intercontinental Champion Christian def. Rob Van Dam and Chris JerichoThis was a good triple threat match that Christian thought would never happen! On huge highlite in my mind of the match is when RVD went to the top rope to hit an electric chair drop but Christian hit a powerbomb on RVD when Y2J was on his shoulders! It was both fast paste and a little, but not much, slow paced around the beginning. Good match. ****Winners brodcast Raw: Coach and Al Snow def. JR and Jerry LawlerA totally boring match with no announcers! This match shouldn't be reviewed, because they did something I'll give it *World Heavyweight Title: Goldberg def. Triple HA great match but the Last Man Standing was better. A little short but it proves Goldberg is better than Triple H! Triple H still uses a sledgehammer behind the referee's back! Thank God the era of Triple H's title reef is history! Goldberg once again wins witha sphere followed by the jackhammer! **** 1/2A great ppv that is one of the best of 2003! Over all 5 stars! It is worth watching by far! Great ppv!
