Unforgiven 2008: Finally, a solid ECW title match!
With a five-person scramble over the ECW title to open the evening, WWE’s Unforgiven 2008 PPV was a special event that was really special. After being an afterthought promotion for the better part of a year, this 20-minute match was well-booked, exciting and a great way to open the show.
Like tossing freshwater pearls into a Mardi Gras crowd, the fans were popping and excited, especially over the finish, which featured Matt Hardy finally winning a significant solo title. Coming out on top clean over Mark Henry, The Miz, Chavo Guerrero and Finlay, Matt Hardy delivers ECW a champion who can deliver on the “extreme” in Extreme Championship Wrestling.
What a great way to open the PPV, and what a great match! Finally, ECW is given some respect in the WWE empire.
