This doesn't look so good. Despite the promotional buildup for Unforgiven 2008 (held way too early in the month IMHO), only a reported 6,000 tickets have been sold for the event for an arena that holds 20,000 people. To prevent the arena from looking too empty, local radio stations have been giving away Unforgiven tickets.
And now, I give you the results...
Championship Scramble for the ECW Championship
Mark Henry vs Matt Hardy vs Finlay vs Chavo Guerrero vs The Miz
Result: Matt Hardy scores the final pinfall after a Twist of Fate to the World's Strongest Man, and as a result he is crowned the new ECW Champion!! :-D But I wonder what happened to Tommy Dreamer? Would have been a lot more fun if he were in the mix...
Unsanctioned Match (aka Anywhere Goes rules)
Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho
Result: After about 26 minutes of sheer brutality, the Heartbreak Kid wins the match after seemingly knocking Y2J unconscious with some rough blows to the head. HBK's victory was bittersweet, and the worst has yet to come... for the anti-Jericho party that is.
World Tag Team Championship match
Cryme Tyme vs Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr
Result: Cody and Ted having reclaimed their stolen title belts the week before, win the match with some help from Manu, and therefore they are still the World Tag Team Champions. XUETE!!! I want Cryme Tyme to win!!!!! :-((((
Championship Scramble for the WWE Championship
Triple H (champ) vs Jeff Hardy vs Shelton Benjamin vs MVP vs The Brian Kendrick
Result: Despite the 80% chance of losing the title placed upon him, Triple H managed to overcome all the odds for 20 minutes and score the final pinfall after delivering a Pedigree to MVP, and he retains the WWE Title. Hurrah!! :-)
WWE Divas' Championship
Michelle McCool (champ) vs Maryse
Result: Michelle, a Diva Search 2004 finalist, retains the title after a rather brief match against the Diva Search 2006 contestant. No surprise there.
Championship Scramble for the World Heavyweight Championship
CM Punk (champ) vs Batista vs JBL vs Kane vs Rey Mysterio
CM Punk (champ) vs Batista vs JBL vs Kane vs Rey Mysterio
Midway through the show, CM Punk got assaulted backstage by Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase Jr and Manu (a new wrestler, son of Wild Samoan Afa). With CM Punk being unable to compete, the World Title was hence declared vacant, and CM Punk (incapitated by Orton's infamous head punt) will be replaced by a last minute entrant... who will be revealed towards the end of the match.
And so the match began with Batista going one-on-toe against JBL. Kane was next to enter, and the 4th entrant was Rey Mysterio, who took revenge on the Big Red Monster. And the last entrant was... CHRIS JERICHO?!?! :-O
Result: indeed we have a new World Heavyweight Champion... and that is none other than...
CHRIS JERICHO?!?! WTF!!! :-@
Batista screaming as seen in the promotional poster... "NOOO!!!! Dear God, why is this happening??? I fought so hard, and I still walk out empty-handed yet again!!! And why does it have to be that pesky twerp Jericho to be the champ??? ARGHHHH!!!! I want my mummy!!!"
