Unforgiven (2003) was the sixth annual Unforgiven professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was presented by Namco's ''Soulcalibur II'' and took place on September 21, 2003, from the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The main event was Triple H versus Goldberg for the World Heavyweight Championship. Goldberg won the match and the World Heavyweight Championship after pinning Triple H following a spear and a Jackhammer. Two of the predominant matches on the card were a Triple threat match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship between Christian, Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam, which Christian retain the title by pinning Van Dam after hitting him with the belt, and the other was a Last Man Standing match between Shane McMahon and Kane, which Kane won after Shane failed to answer the referee's ten count.〔〔 Another primary match on the undercard was Randy Orton versus Shawn Michaels, which Orton won by pinfall after hitting Michaels in the head with a pair of brass knuckles.〔〔〔 ==Background== The main feud heading into Unforgiven was between Triple H and Goldberg over the World Heavyweight Championship. One month prior at SummerSlam, Triple H won an Elimination Chamber match to retain the World Heavyweight Championship by last eliminating Goldberg. After the match ended, Triple H, along with Evolution members Ric Flair and Randy Orton, handcuffed Goldberg to the Chamber and attacked him with a sledgehammer.〔〔 The next night on ''Raw'', Goldberg challenged Triple H to a match later that night. Triple H declined and said that they would face off at Unforgiven instead. Triple H then added the stipulation that if he won, Goldberg would have to retire from professional wrestling. On the September 1 episode of ''Raw'', Goldberg, Shawn Michaels, and Maven defeated Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton, and Ric Flair). Towards the end of the match, Orton attacked Goldberg from behind as he was preparing to spear Triple H. Goldberg was able to kick out of the pinfall attempt and hit Orton with a Jackhammer for the win. The next week on ''Raw'', Co-General Manager Steve Austin added the stipulation where if Triple H got himself counted out or intentionally disqualified, he would lose the World Heavyweight Championship. The other main match on the card was a Last Man Standing match between Shane McMahon and Kane. On the June 23 episode of ''Raw'', Kane was forced to unmask himself after he had lost a Mask vs. Title match to Triple H. Shortly after Kane unmasked himself, Kane turned on and chokeslammed his tag team partner Rob Van Dam.〔〔 Three weeks later on the July 14 episode of ''Raw'', during an interview between Kane and Jim Ross, Kane set Jim Ross on fire after he thought he was mocking him. The following week on ''Raw'', after a match between Kane and Van Dam ended in a no-contest, Linda McMahon came out to try and stop Kane from attacking Van Dam. Kane, however, gave Linda McMahon a Tombstone Piledriver on the steel ramp.〔〔 On the July 28 episode of ''Raw'', Shane McMahon made a surprise appearance by attacking Kane for his actions the week before.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=July 28, 2003 Raw results )〕 The next week on ''Raw'', Eric Bischoff defeated Shane McMahon after Kane interfered and gave McMahon a Tombstone Piledriver on the steel ring steps. On August 24 at SummerSlam, Kane defeated Rob Van Dam in a No Holds Barred match, and Shane McMahon defeated Eric Bischoff in a No Disqualification Falls Count Anywhere match.〔〔 The following night on ''Raw'', during a match between Shane McMahon and Chris Jericho, Kane interfered and performed a chokeslam on McMahon. Shortly afterwards, McMahon superkicked Kane into a dumpster that was on fire and full of gasoline. On the September 8 episode of ''Raw'', Bischoff announced that McMahon and Kane would face each other in a Last Man Standing match at Unforgiven.〔〔 The next week on ''Raw'', after both men signed a contract for their match at Unforgiven, McMahon gave Kane multiple low blows, followed by a Leap of Faith through an announce table.〔〔 One of the main matches on the undercard was between Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels. At the previous Raw brand pay-per-view, Bad Blood, Ric Flair defeated Shawn Michaels after Randy Orton interfered and hit Michaels with a steel chair. One month later, on the July 21 episode of ''Raw'', Chris Jericho defeated Michaels in a Singles match. In the match, Orton interfered on Jericho's behalf by executing an RKO on Michaels while the referee was distracted. The following week on ''Raw'', during Jericho's ''Highlight Reel'' talk show, Orton claimed that he was becoming a "Legend Killer" and that Michaels was going to be the next legend killed. Michaels came out shortly afterwards and the two started brawling.〔 On the September 1 episode of ''Raw'', Steve Austin announced that Orton would face off against Michaels at Unforgiven.〔〔 Two weeks later on the September 15 episode of ''Raw'', Orton told Michaels that he was going to use him as a "stepping stone towards greatness." Michaels responded by slapping Orton and telling him that if he was going to use him as a stepping stone, he had better step hard. The Divas match set for Unforgiven was a tag team match pitting Trish Stratus and Lita against Molly Holly and Gail Kim. Gail Kim debuted on the June 30 episode of ''Raw'' and won the WWE Women's Championship in a battle royal.〔http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/030630.html〕 Four weeks later on the July 28 edition of ''Raw'', Kim lost her title to Molly Holly.〔http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/030728.html〕 After Trish Stratus defeated Holly in a non-title match on the following week, she was attacked in the ring by Holly and Victoria. Kim entered and fought off both Divas; appearing to save Stratus, but she would later attack Stratus herself, turning Kim into a villainess.〔http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/030804.html〕 Two weeks later, the evil Kim aligned with Holly to eliminate Stratus, and the pair continuously attacked Stratus for several weeks.〔http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/030825.html〕 On the September 15 episode of Raw, Lita returned from injury and saved Stratus from being attacked from Holly and Kim, setting up the tag team match for Unforgiven.〔http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/030915.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Unforgiven (2003)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
