Unforgiven 2008
This past pay per view which happened on September 7, 2008 was called Unforgiven. It took place in Cleveland, Ohio at the Quicken Loans Arena. Each brand of WWE (RAW, ECW, and SmackDown) participated in different types of matches. This year Mike Adamle (RAW's General Manager) introduced a new type of match called the Championship Scramble. Basically the Championship Scramble is after twenty minutes of wrestling, whoever made the last pin fall is the winner and the new WWE Champion or World Heavyweight Champion or the ECW Champion (there were three different matches from RAW, ECW, and SmackDown).
ECW Championship Scramble Match
Matt Hardy defeated Mark Henry, Chavo Guerrero, Finlay, and the Miz. Matt Hardy was awarded the ECW Championship belt.
World Tag Team Championship Match
Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase defeated Cryme Tyme to retain their World Tag Team Championship belts.
Unsanctioned No Holds Barred Match
Shawn Michaels defeated Chris Jericho. The referee had to stop this match because Michaels kept beating Jericho.
WWE Championship Scramble Match
Triple H defeated Jeff Hardy, Brian Kendrick, Shelton Benjamin, and Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP).
WWE Diva's Championship Match
Michelle McCool defeated Maryse.
World Heavyweight Championship Scramble Match
Originally CM Punk was the World Heavyweight Champion, but during an interview backstage he was attacked by Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase. Randy Orton kicked CM Punk in the head, which gave CM Punk a concussion and could not compete in the match. Mike Adamle announced that Chris Jericho was going to replace CM Punk's position in the match.
Chris Jericho defeated John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Kane, Batista, and Rey Mysterio making Jericho the new World Heavyweight Champion.
I got to see this pay per view and I have to say I enjoyed it, especially the Unsanctioned Match because the company was building this match up so well and the match was done perfectly by two talented wrestlers. Also, I never expected Chris Jericho to be the new World Heavyweight Champion and I liked to be surprised when I watch wrestling.
ECW Championship Scramble Match
Matt Hardy defeated Mark Henry, Chavo Guerrero, Finlay, and the Miz. Matt Hardy was awarded the ECW Championship belt.
World Tag Team Championship Match
Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase defeated Cryme Tyme to retain their World Tag Team Championship belts.
Unsanctioned No Holds Barred Match

Pro Wrestling's Pay Per Views
Every month WWE has pay per views, which is a three hour long show of just wrestling that the company has been building up over a few weeks. There are several pay per views and usually one occurs each month. The pay per views are: January it is the Royal Rumble; February it is No Way Out; Late March/Early April it is WrestleMania; April it is Backlash; May it is Judgment Day; June it is One Night Stand and Night of Champions; July it is The Great American Bash; August it is SummerSlam; September it is Unforgiven; October is No Mercy and Cyber Sunday; November is Survivor Series; and December is Armageddon.
The major pay per views are the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series; just because they are the longest running events. WrestleMania is considered the "Grandaddy of Them All." It is the largest and longest running of all major wrestling events. Royal Rumble has a main event featuring a thirty man battle royal; whoever does not go over the top rope and is last man standing goes for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. Survivor Series wrestling event is usually for tag-team elimination wrestling or formation of teams competing against other teams, which they all try to eliminate each other. SummerSlam is noted for being the second biggest pay per view event after WrestleMania; sometimes it is known as the "Biggest Blockbuster of the Summer."

My Favorite Wrestlers, Now and Then
Currently my favorite wrestlers are John Cena, Randy Orton, The "Rated-R Superstar" Edge, Santino Marella, The Undertaker, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, and Shawn Michaels. In wrestling terminology, these are a mix of good guys and bad guys. Personally, I don't care if a wrestler is a good or bad guy; I just like them if they are hard working and can put on a good show. Santino Marella is not a very good wrestler, but he is hilarious when it comes to talking on the microphone. Every wrestler I like has something unique about them, which gives them more charisma towards their wrestling character.
The wrestlers above are from the WWE. Wrestlers that I like from TNA are: AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Sting, Christian Cage, Rhino, Kurt Angle, Curry Man, Chris Sabin, and Jay Lethal. TNA wrestlers are a lot more different than WWE wrestlers because these organizations have different limits on how the wrestlers can perform. In TNA, they do more high flying and mat wrestling, but in the WWE there is more talking and less wrestling until the Pay-Per-Views, but it is still a good show.
Previous wrestlers that I loved to watch were Andre the Giant, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Owen Hart, Terry Funk, Mick Foley, The British Bulldog, and the Rock. These wrestlers had something different about them when they were in the ring. They were great performers and I'd wish they were still wrestling with the exception of Andre the Giant, Owen Hart, and The British Bulldog's deaths.

How I Got Into Pro Wrestling
Since I was four years old, me and my second oldest brother watched professional wrestling together. Back then when we watched it together, the wrestling organization was called World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Now it is called World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was previously owned by Vince McMahon Sr.; now it is owned by his son Vince McMahon.
My brother got into professional wrestling by my mom. What happened was they were in a store and my brother was upset so she bought him a wrestling figure to make him feel better. So one night he was flipping through channels on the television and he saw professional wrestlers on. After that, he was hooked on wrestling and got me hooked on it too.
Every Monday night there is a wrestling show called Monday Night RAW, which I watch faithfully each week. There are also two other shows that are under the WWE brand which are: Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and Friday Night SmackDown. On Thursdays, I watch Total NonStop Action (TNA). This brand of wrestling is not under the WWE brand; it is a separate wrestling organization. I just watch RAW and TNA; occassionally I will watch Friday Night SmackDown.
