WWE PG Era Series 18 - Unforgiven 2008

Unforgiven 2008 was the beginning of PPVs starting to take on their own identity. This one being 3 separate championship scramble matches. One for the WWE, World Heavyweight, and ECW championships. Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels take their rivalry of the year to the next level with an unsanctioned match. Vickie Guerrero and The Undertaker go face to face in the ring. Cryme Tyme takes on Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase for the World tag titles. Divas title on the line between Michelle McCool and Maryse.

WWE PG Era Series 17 - Summerslam 2008

Summerslam 2008 is one of my favorite PPVs I have watched in this series. You know it’s going to be an interesting show when the Raw and Smackdown main events do not involve the world champions. Edge and Undertaker fought in a Hell in a Cell match. Batista took on John Cena. CM Punk defended his world title against JBL. Triple H faced the great Khalil for the WWE title. Shawn Michaels was scheduled to make an announcement on his career. Chris Jericho foiled those plans. Much more on the Summerslam card. Also cover several releases and signings that happened during this time in 2008.
