Unforgiven 2002… quite honestly, I don’t remember too much about this one, outside of what I can recall and recount from when I wrote the original predictions sheet back in 2002. But the show itself was a total blank for me. It might have been a decent show, all things considered, but not a memorable one, I suppose. Oh well.

Summerslam 2002 was the show that signaled the changing of the guard, as it would feature the end of the Rock’s tenure as a regular WWE Superstar and the rise of Brock Lesnar as an unstoppable main event force in WWE… for about a couple years, at least. Not only that, but this was the show that brought Shawn Michaels back in the fold after four years of retirement… yeah, we’ll see how long his second retirement lasts before he gets the itch to jump back in, but he seems to mean it this time… and it was on his terms… somewhat.

I recently got myself an copy of the show from one of my friends and gave it a watch for the first time in years. I enjoyed it for the most part. So yeah, here are my picks from 2002, the end results of the match, and some recent thoughts and reflections on the show.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, back in 2000, I did a quaint little website called DTM Webstation… it was online, but rarely untouched until about a couple years later when I had regular internet access. Around that time, I started doing a series of commentaries quaintly titled “The Bite.” Essentially my own rambling blog before such blogging ease was available to the masses or at least any that I was remotely aware. The Bite commentaries covered whatever came to mind, but one of the things I did in those commentaries was do quick predictions for then-upcoming WWE PPV shows, from time to time. Once I started up the DTM Blog, those predictions became a regular feature and the Bite commentaries became… well, obsolete.

The first PPV that went under the prediction knife was the 2002 iteration of WWE’s Vengeance PPV. The format from back then is quite different from what would eventually be used in more recent times, but I’ve been tweaking with the format a bit so that it’s a bit more uniform when all of these things get reposted.

In any case, you’ll find some predictions, the end result of each match, and some more recent reflections on my picks. I wouldn’t consider these to be reviews of shows, because more often than note, some of these picks and results documents (especially the earlier and later ones) do not have any quick thoughts on the show. I’d consider adding them, but that would require that I still have the show in question… and most of the 2002-2003 stuff is scattered across the cosmos. Still, if I have a chance to check the shows out, I may update these posts with quick overall thoughts.

It should be noted that that results were added in later on when PPV picks spawned into their own section on the old DTM Webstation. Also, despite using the 2012-2013 republished versions with updated annotations, all PPV predictions are published during its original timeline.
