SD! Spoiler Chat, Scramble Match Note, Styles/Angle, Ventura, More
? VKingOfTheWorldV sent this in regarding the Championship Scramble at WWE Unforgiven: They did this same exact match but with the Hardcore Title years ago at Wrestlemania 2000. I know I remember seeing it so it can't really be a new concept maybe because it's for the World Title and not Hardcore title but the basics of the match has already been done in WWE before. Hardcore Battle Royal – Participants: Tazz, Viscera, Pete Gas, Rodney, Joey Abs, Bradshaw, Faarooq, Hardcore Holly, Taka Mitchinoku, Funaki, Mosh, Thrasher, and Hardcore Holly. Tazz pinned Crash Holly (14:31); Viscera pinned Tazz (14:02); Funaki pinned Viscera (7:46); Rodney pinned Funaki (6:52); Joey Abs pinned Rodney (6:30); Thrasher pinned Joey Abs (6:18); Pete Gas pinned Thrasher (5:33); Tazz pinned Pete Gas (4:46); Crash pinned Tazz (0:387); Hardcore went for a pin at 0:03, he didn't pin Crash, but the referee gave the win to him, even though Crash left with the title. It's basically what the World Title scramble will be, don't you think?
