Unforgiven thread (**SPOILERS**)

[RKO_HBK]

Just a place to talk about the PPV if you're online when it's on (or to offer predictions now).

I'll just throw my (brief) thoughts out there:

Diva's Title: McCool vs. Maryse:
I'm gonna go with McCool here, just cos I really don't think Maryse is ready to even be on TV yet, whereas McCool is fairly competent.

World Tag Team Title: Rhodes and Dibiase vs. Cryme Tyme:
As much as I'd like Cryme Tyme to get the win and their first set of tag titles, Rhodes and Dibiase need a longer second reign after having the first de-railed by Cena/Batista. Plus, they've largely looked like Cryme Tyme and Orton's bitches the past couple of weeks, so a win here is needed I think.

Unsanctioned Match: Michaels vs. Jericho:
I'm really not sure what to expect here. I'm going to predict that HBK wins, but Jericho destroys him after the bell, sending him packing for a while (leading to a blow-off at a later date). That way this awesome feud continues but Michaels gets some measure of revenge.

ECW Championship Scramble:
I can see this being either Miz, Hardy or Henry, but I'm gonna go with the safe choice (Matt). Henry's looked dominant as champ but I think it's Hardy's time.

World Heavyweight Championship Scramble:
This could really go to any of the 5, but I definately see a change here, despite what sites like 411mania are predicting. I'm torn between MVP, Jeff and TBK. My mind says Jeff but my heart says Kendrick (I'm going to mark out so much if he wins, such an awesome talent)......I'll go with my heart, barely (could this sound any more gay? )

WWE Championship Scramble:
I don't see all 3 titles changing hands tonight, so this one is more Punk by default. Plus, this would cement Punk as a true, credible champion. Kane and Rey will be feuding after this and no title's needed. JBL isn't in good enough shape to do it, and I don't see Batista walking away with it just yet. Also, with the hinted Orton-Punk feud, I can't see this going any other way.


They're just my pre-show thoughts, probably won't stay online for the whole show but post your thoughts.

anyone got the justintv link?

[Eisen-verse]

anyone got the justintv link?

I second that

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

I've got the Hardy Boyz and Punk winning... And where's the JustinTV link? machine?

[infinitywpi]

Why did I think Summerslam is next week?

Anyway, since the scrambles are all that really matter this time around: ECW will be Hardy pinning Miz for the win, letting us do Henry vs Hardy for the next month. HHH will break up every pin in his match, losing only when two pins are made at the same time and he can't break them both up. Punk retains with a last-second fluke pin.

I looked for one earlier, and most of the regular ones I went to had been removed, and the only active one I found was extremely slow. They seem to be cracking down on justin.tv

haha I marked out. I'm just praying he gets the last pin (cos you know HHH will get one back when he comes in).

[AfRoMaN36]

Ah well, Trips won... I expected that. At least it sets up a Taker vs Trips match up at Survivor Series or what have you...

Question: does the pinfalls within the match count as an official title reign? Because to be honest, that would suck.

PS: The Mr Perfect DVD sounds awesome though.... dare I say.... perfect.

[RKO_HBK]

True, but I genuinally was expecting Jeff to get it. This PPV will be a slight disappointment (in terms of results) if Punk doesn't retain, for me at least. The ending for the Y2J-HBK match was kinda messed up though considering it was Unsanctioned.

They don't, it just seems someone didn't tell JR.

[AfRoMaN36]

Here comes another Orton title reign....

[Greg2511]

Brilliant booking having Randy Orton take out Punk before his match.

it means we have option a) the title changes hands without any damage to punk and sets us up nicely for a great Randy Orton/CM Punk program

or b) he still manages to make it into the match (would be most effective if hes the first in the ring, maybe even with a pre match promo about how it takes more than that to remove him from a match) and win the scramble making him look even more badass

very good booking I think

EDIT: Forgot about the Kofi inclusion. I can see the entire story line already it practically writes itself. Kofi came to CM Punks aid, why? Because unlike DiBiase, Orton, Rhodes and Manu...Kofi, much like Punk had to WORK to get to where he is today. Being someone who came to prominence around the same time as Punk it could work and would really help to get EVERYONE involved over. Id even suggest giving CM Punk and Kofi another "ally" but I can't think of any off the top of my head right now

[Franchise22]

the PPV has sounded interesting as ive read it. i wished i wouldve ordered it. i almost did. the triple H scramble sounded crazy! for those watching, has been a good watch?
