SPECIAL ANGER MANAGEMENT: WWE Unforgiven 2002 Sep 22 - 11:21 pm EDT
Recap by S_D
Warning, this isn't your usual Anger Management. I wasn't originally going to do a recap of this show because I didn't think i was going to order it. But, today I figured, I needed something to enjoy myself with ever since the death of my buddy to cancer. So, I ordered Unforgiven. Even with that in mind, I still wasn't going to do a recap of this show. But the more I thought about it, I told myself that if 3 certain things were to happen on this show, I would do one. I only said this to myself because I truly truly believed WWE wouldn't have the idiocy to do the 3 things I thought of. But sure enough, that great WWE creative team proved me wrong. Let's get to those 3 things:
1) HHH doesn't drop the strap to RVD. I figured going into this match that RVD had gotten the most on HHH more than anyone in a while, so I thought, "Perhaps HHH might actually be caring for once." Well, this match proved my theory to be completely wrong. HHH beats RVD. Shame on me for being open-minded. I would have been pissed off had RVD not left this match as the champ in the first place, but the reason behind HHH's win is what pisses me the most off. Ric Flair, who HHH had been totally humiliating and beleaguering for the past couple of week, assists HHH. How the HELL does this make ANY sense? Ric Flair is a legend in this business. He's done more things than HHH ever will. What the HELL does Ric Flair have to prove to HHH? HHH, you are the most political fucking piece of shit I've ever watching in this wrestling business. I wonder why God has to take my friend who did nothing wrong to anybody, instead of complete ass trash like you who cares nothing about anyone else except you. Congratulations HHH, you are this show's co-recipient of the obviously coveted "Fuck You" award. Go fuck yourself in the asshole with a shard from your glass ceiling after someone shatters it. Or tear the quad again. I don't give a fuck how you do it, just get the hell away from my fucking T.V. and don't ever come back.
2) Gunn\Palumbo\Jamal\Rosey\Bischoff\Stephanie has a bait and switch ending. Sure enough, it happened. 3 Minutes gets the win on Fag Attack and thus Steph is promised to have to perform HLA. Bischoff tells the good looking lesbos to get out of the ring while a horribly fat ugly black woman comes out. And if you weren't able to tell that it was Rikishi under the makeup, you're a fucking retard. So let me get this straight: Out of the two payoffs the WWE PROMISED us, those being Bischoff kissing Stephanie's ass and Steph performing HLA, the WWE Creative Team actually AGREED that seeing a big fat samoan dance around in drag and makeup would be A BETTER PAYOFF THAN THE OTHER TWO IDEAS? Congratulations WWE Creative Team, you are this show's co-recipient of the obviously coveted "Fuck You" award.
3) Brock doesn't pin Undertaker. You know, Undertaker has a history of having horrible ass matches at Unforgiven. And the wrong person(s) gets blamed for it. I mean, come on, how did WWE expect Kronic, let alone ANYBODY, to pull a good match out of Undertaker's lathargic ass? But, that was last year. This match, considering that I really REALLY thought WWE wouldn't go for the Bullshit Trifecta, I was confident that Undertaker would at least do something right and put over Brock and make him look good. Once again, screw me for being open-minded. Almost the ENTIRE match was 95% Undertaker with Brock getting a few punches, some kicks, and, oh yeah, a bearhug. That was IT. And let's see: Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, Matt Hardy, A Chair, and 3 Ref Bumps and UNDERTAKER STILL REMAINED ON THE FUCKING OFFENSE. And then, oh man, and then at ref bump #3 we get the SCREW JOB DOUBLE DQ FINISH! As if this match was not total ass to BEGIN with, they finish fucking everyone who paid money for this show in the asshole but executing the DQ finish. After the match, it's STILL ALL UNDERTAKER and he chokeslams Brock, makes him run like a PUSSY, and then THROWS HIM THROUGH THE FUCKING PPV SET. Of course, knowing the fuckheads that run WWE, since all of this looked like total shit, expect Brock to be fired tomorrow after he refuses to be demoted to OVW for having the yearly horrible match with UT at Unforgiven. Congratulations UT, you are this show's co-recipient of the obviously coveted "Fuck You" award.
ALL IN ALL everything else is not worth mentioning because the simple fact that these three things took place completely undermine the show and make everything else not even worth mentioning because these were so horribly bad. The only thing that comes close is the AWESOME match Benoit and Angle had that killed anything they did in 2001. WWE absolutely should be ashamed for MURDERING all the momentum they had rolling for them since SummerSlam, which was arguably their best show of the year. The fact that 1) RVD did not win the title, 2) The Bischoff\Steph stuff did bait-and-switch, and 3) Brock not beating UT definitely has made me make the decision to not lay down the $34.95 again for a long LONG time. After all, I don't feel like paying money for something to help me take a load off from the fact that one of my best friends died and then make me want to trade places with him because of the sheer stupidity I felt for buying this show and getting fucked right in the ass because of it.
Congratualations WWE, you are this show's co-recipient of the obviously coveted "Fuck You" award. So...
Fuck you, WWE.
