WWE Unforgiven 2008 Results [Updated]

Triple H (c) vs. The Brian Kendrick vs. Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Jeff Hardy
Nothing out of the ordinary here. What the f*ck is going on with Kendrick and his character? Note to WWE bookers - don't waste your time on trying to build this guy up. Find someone else. Ending came when Triple H got a last second pinfall to retain the title. Hardy was the champ before Trips got the pinfall (not on Hardy). Hardy looked to be going for another pin at the same time as Triple H, but the ref only counted Trips' pin. BTW, the ending sequence looked to be running a second or two behind. Due to this it looked like the ref did a fast count.
Me: 1/1
Dave: 1/1

Mark Henry (c) vs. Matt Hardy vs. The Miz vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. Finlay
Hardy got a pinfall with about 2 or 3 minutes left in the match. He then spent the rest of the match breaking up pins and became the new ECW champion. In hindsight the ECW Title isn't really considered a 'major title' so I probably could have gotten this right. Oh well.
Me: 1/2
Dave: 2/2

Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels
Match of the night. Michaels was very methodical sadistic. Cade came down in the middle of the match, but HBK ended up putting them both through an announce table. Michaels then starts whipping Jericho with a belt and eventually just pounds Jericho in the face until Jericho is unconscious. Then Michaels beats Jericho even more. The ref eventually calls for the bell, but Michaels doesn't care. Michaels eventually separates from Jericho and looks torn between whether to attack Jericho more or show mercy.
Me: 2/3
Dave: 3/3

Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase (c) vs. Cryme Tyme (JTG and Shad Gaspard)
Rhodes and DiBiase retain after DiBiase reversed a small package that JTG had Rhodes in with the ref's back turned. After the match DiBiase and Rhodes celebrate and taunt CT. CT then attack them and Rhodes and DiBiase are rescued by Afa Jr. I suppose the WWE is starting to forma 2nd generation stable with the three of them as Orton's running buddies.
Me: 2/4
Dave: 3/4

Michelle McCool (c) vs. Maryse
McCool wins.
Me: 3/5
Dave: 4/5

CM Punk (c) vs. Batista vs. Kane vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield vs. Rey Mysterio
Earlier in the night Punk or Orton are backstage (I forgot which one was being interviewed) and the other interrupts. Eventually DiBiase, Rhodes, and Afa Jr. attack Punk and the attack in punctuated by Orton's Legend Killer Kick to the head of Punk. Adamle comes out later and says that in the event that Punk is unable to wrestle a suitable replacement will be found. On the scramble - All 4 challengers eventually enter the match and when it's time for Punk to come out Jericho's music hits and he comes stumbling out showing major signs of his match with HBK. Jericho is quickly incapacitated as a result of not being able to defend himself. Batista gets a pinfall on Kane with about 10 seconds left. After Batsista stands back up Rey goes for a West Coast Pop, but as Batista tried to resist it Jericho crawls in the match and covers a still down Kane. Match ends, Batista appears to think he has won,then realizes that Jericho got a pinfall and stands there (Batista) with a shocked look on his face. Jericho is the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Me: 3/5
Dave: 4/5

I'm a little curious as to why they put the title on Jericho (I'm not complaining though). It looked as if the Y2J/HBK feud is going to continue & the feud is so intense that I didn't think that a title in the mix would be needed. Also, Having Jericho even being able to walk after the beating that he received kind of diminished the actual beating and maked HBK look a little bit week. We'll have to see what happens on RAW. I am also confused as to why Punk was taken out of the match. Did they need for him to drop the title without actually losing a match? Did they not want him to have it for his upcoming feud with Orton so when Orton beats him Orton won't get the title back as punishment for prolonging his time off with the motorcycle crash?

Also, I won't go into the details,but Big Show turned heel and attacked the Undertaker.

Update: Yes, Dave got more predictions correct. I submitted the inferior set if pick. Sit Down Mysterious J! Sit Down!
