5. World Heavyweight Championship Scramble Unforgiven 2008
No, the Championship Scramble wasn't a hot new breakfast at the International House of Pancakes it was also a cool, fun new match WWE debuted at Unforgiven 2008. It was so cool and fun, in fact, that WWE gave us three of them on the same show one for each major championship (WWE, World, and ECW). The rules were simple. Two men fight, the winner is the man who gets a pinfall or a submission. Actually, no, they weren't that simple at all. Five men are in the ring at once. They wrestle for twenty minutes you know, moves, pinfalls, what have you. Whoever has gotten the most recent decision when the time limit runs out is the official champion. Matt Hardy won the ECW Title match and Triple H won the WWE Title match, but the World Heavyweight Championship Scramble, which went on last, was the subject of much controversy. Underdog champ CM Punk was scheduled to defend his title, but a backstage punt by Randy Orton put him out of the match. When the bout actually happened, it proceeded with only four men. With five minutes left, Chris Jericho (who had lost to Shawn Michaels earlier in the evening) came out, made his participation in the match clear, and pinned Kane to win the title. Fan-favorite Punk lost his championship without even having a chance to defend it, and many a fan was left unhappy.
