Eli Brooke of Brooklyn, N.Y. (2.0): Best Match: Cade & Murdoch vs. London & Kendrick. Worst Match: Orton vs Cena. Wade, I cannot remember the last time I have been so upset with the WWE. I have been watching since I was a baby, and I am 25 years old. I have ordered Vengeance and Unforgiven and they were both the WORST. How dare they give me a five minute non finish for Orton-Cena? It's the only reason I ordered the PPV! Why on earth would Taker vs. Henry be the main event? The finish is obvious! Not to mention it doesn't matter who wins or loses that match! I will never order another PPV again. I will go to my friends house and chip in five bucks to watch Survivor Series, Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. That's it. I went to Summerslam and it was awful. This show makes me want to puke in a bowl and sleep in it. Undertaker whoopdyfreakindoo. If I saw Stephanie McMahon in the street right now I would kick her in the shin. I hope Congress ruins all of their lives for stealing my $40.

Leonard Tripodi of Kenilworth, N.J. (3.0): Best: Batista vs. Khali vs. Rey. Worst: Cena vs. Orton. I'm relieved that I decided to watch this for free at a local hotspot and equally happy there was a football game on at the same time. Even though it was a lopsided contest, the Patriots-Chargers game was still more exciting than Unforgiven. This was a complete waste of time (and money for those of you who paid $40). Why bother with these monthly PPVs like Unforgiven when they are just a bunch of rehashed matches from Raw and feuds that are thrown together from the previous month. I can understand how WWE is struggling to cope with the suspensions and injuries to top stars, but this PPV didn't deliver on any level or make anyone forget about the recent problems in the company. Batista recapturing the World Title was easily the best, followed by Triple H's anticipated victory in a standard, but somewhat satisfying gimmick match. Funny how James Caldwell made a early reference about Candice being the female version of John Cena, since a short while later it was followed by an utterly disappointing Cena-Orton title debacle. The whole thing was a mess, which concluded in under ten minutes AND with a lame finish. Again, why bother having this feud on a PPV when it could be played out on Raw for free? Both Cena & Candice need to drop their respective titles ASAP. The tag title match was another meaningless offering which could have been saved for a typical Monday night during the second hour. I really don't care much about either team. I normally enjoy the drama and theatrics of the Taker entrance and subsequent destruction of another immobile big man, but even Taker's gimmick is tired and redundant. With Batista and Cena as champions of their respective brands, along with Taker's return and Triple H's monster push, it looks like we are right back in the same rut that caused so many fans to become disgruntled in the first place.

Adam Dunn of Missouri (2.0): Best Match: MVP/Hardy vs Grease Lightning. Worst Match: Cena vs Orton. Here is what I learned from tonight's show. Apparently I'm supposed to cheer for Attempted Murder. John Cena has pretty much tried to kill William Regal and Randy Orton in the last three weeks. And that makes him a good guy? Why doesn't coach grow a pair and strip Cena of the title? Or is that logic too much for this show? Taker's return was weak, as it always is. A Taker-Batista feud is coming up, you know it. MVP and Matt Hardy were the real highlights. They are both great and really are the promising parts of the WWE. Same with C.M. Punk. He puts on good matches and delivers when necessary. Batista as champ? I'll take it, its better than Khali and way better than Mysterio, who would just job for four months then lose the belt. But seriously, John Cena is trying to kill people and we are supposed to cheer him. Great. Remember when he was dropped on his head earlier in the match? You do? Great, cause John Cena didn't remember to sell that.

Obin Johnson of Thomasville, N.C. (2.5): Best Match: Murdoch/Cade vs. Kendrick/London. Worst Match: Undertaker vs. Mark Henry. I missed the opening match, so I can't comment on it. But other than the Murdoch/Cade match, nothing else came out positive. Three things I learned tonight: the Great Khali has a dislike for Canteloupes and Watermelons; from Jim Ross I learned the definition of "smoke through a keyhole"; and from John Cena's dad I learned don't land on top of your head when you go over the rail.

PWTORCH FORMAT CONVENTIONS

For the sake of clarity to our readers (and to save us time editing these same things over and over), please follow these simple conventions when writing Torch Reax:

-Wrestlers teaming together should be connected with "&" symbol (e.g. Hunter & Michaels, Devon & Ray) or with a "/" (e.g. Animal/Hawk, Harris/Storm), but not dashes and not the word "and."

-To designate wrestlers who are fighting, feuding, or wrestling each other, put a dash (-) between them (e.g. Michaels-McMahon, Jarrett-Sting, Hogan-Andre) or use "vs."

-The word versus should always be abbreviated this way: "vs." with a period afterward (not "v." or "v/s" or "VS" or "VS." or any other way).

-Plus, it's just our policy, but we don't indulge wrestling promotions' strange spelling fetishes where they spell Raw, Smackdown, Heat, Impact, etc. with the haphazard capitalization of various leTTeRz. It seems very "junior high," so no Raw (it's Raw), no iMPACT (it's Impact), etc.

-Please try to avoid overuse of dot-dot-dots. If you have a thought that's "trailing off," you can use for effect, but otherwise, just use periods, commas, and our personal favorite, semicolons if you dare. We have always had a policy of only one exclamation point and no ALL CAPS. Let your words convey the meaning of your point. There's many to choose from out there.
