- Stacy Keibler taped her bit which aired at Unforgiven at about 7:45 PM EST and it took multiple takes to do. - The Game is all about Unforgiven http://www.wwf.com/news/headlines/1082450 Credit: WWF.com JOresick sent in the following: I was at Unforgiven in Pittsburgh tonight. Thought you might be interested in some notes. -The Marquee outside the arena said "WWF Unforgiven: Sold Out." There were, however, about 1,500 empty seats. Who knows if they were actually sold or not. -Crowd was very patriotic. Countless "U-S-A" chants throughout the evenings, dozens of fans with flags as well as t-shirts pertaining to American pride. -Crowd was also sort of apathetic, with the exception of Angle. I'm not sure how it came out on PPV, but there was a big pop each time he was mentioned. -Despite the stoic nature of the crowd throughout most of the evening, make no mistake, Rob Van Dam is way way over in Pittsburgh. Tons of RVD chants and he got the third biggest pop of the night, behind Angle and The Rock. -After the show went off the air, Angle continues to celebrate in the ring, being mobbed by his family and colleagues. He then goes to ringside and kisses his mother before presenting her with the belt. Finally, Kurt cuts a quick promo thanking his family for supporting him and saying that the Pittsburgh fans are the best in the world. Big pop for that. Ends it by yelling "Go USA!!!" The Steel City faithful eat it up. Jason Barrett from NoHoldsBarredWrestling.com sent in the following: This past Saturday the brand new WCW US Champion Rhyno joined the No Holds Barred radio show to discuss his match with Tajiri, his thoughts on the WWF's running shows last week and his feelings on whether or not the ECW Title should be brought into the current picture. Here are a few samples from the interview. Jason: Let's start with this Sunday's match at Unforgiven. You're going to be taking on a former ECW colleague Tajiri for the WCW U.S. Title. What are your thoughts heading into the contest and how important is it for you to bring the belt back to the alliance? Rhyno: First of all I've got to stay away from his kicks. That's the first thing. Then there's the tarantula. You don't want to get locked into that. Actually me and Tajiri have a little bit of history in ECW. I beat him for the television title in ECW and he beat me a couple of times but I don't like to talk about that. SA: Now Rhyno, there are a lot of people that believe you could get over even more if you were given more mic time. Now tell me, have WWF officials talked with you about having more of a vocal prescence? Rhyno: Some people don't like what I did in ECW. I'm not in any rush. As far as maybe changing up my promos and stuff, I'm not in any rush because once you cross that line you can't go back and there might be a certain mystique about it without saying too much, but I do want to talk because I feel it's very important. Jason: Now on a light hearted note. How much extra are you paying Heyman to put you over the way he does? He loves you! Rhyno: Oh god, too much. Actually, can you blame him? When you see talent like this, I mean nah. I asked him a couple of weeks ago, what did you think when you first seen me? He said I saw a kid who I knew was going to be a star.
