THE UNFORGIVEN
You know who they are. The shunned. The spurned. The individuals who commit acts so heinous -- or simply stupid -- that forgiveness seems ever elusive. Below, WWE.com recalls some of these indefensible souls just in time for the Unforgiven pay-per-view.
He returned to "Save Us," only to end up losing our respect. The first ever Undisputed World Champion's downward spiral began when he tangled with Shawn Michaels, eventually smashing HBK's eye and leaving him in a precarious medical state. The ugliness reached a unforgivable pitch when Jericho clocked Michaels' wife in the face, leaving her with a swollen lip. The two men now hope to settle their differences in an Unsanctioned Match at Unforgiven.

This paranoid bozo, seeing only the red in the red, white and blue, supplied the ice cubes of conspiracy throughout the Cold War. Anyone who didn't share his dim view was immediately ostracized and deemed a commie. Literature, film, comics, you name it - if it wasn't part of the establishment, McCarthy considered it an enemy of the United States. Thankfully, the government eventually saw fit to clear out McCarthy and his dangerously contagious pinko eye.
How dare she! Vickie Guerrero was a woman in love, a woman who would do anything to protect the object of her affection, Edge. But she went way too far when she banished Undertaker after his loss to the Ultimate Opportunist at One Night Stand in June. Sure, she reinstated The Phenom, but still, banish Undertaker? Not over his dead...! Oh, right. Nevermind.
Sure, he's the ultra-cool Iron Man and current Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., but Stark is also the clown responsible for Congress passing the "Superhuman Registration Act," which has since been pivotal in causing a Civil War and Secret Invasion within the Marvel Universe. Fortunately, he redeemed himself a little this summer with a really cool movie.
Signs that not all was well with the Big Red Monster? 1) He kept mumbling, "Is he alive or is he dead?" 2) He clung to that mysterious burlap sack containing Rey Mysterio's mask. 3) He brutally attacked the Master of the 619, putting him out of action. Then, he tried to justify his behavior by claiming Mysterio is a “fungus that grows in the marshes of your psyche.” Sorry, Kane, that psycho-babble isn't cutting it. Next, these two will battle in the Championship Scramble at Unforgiven.
Actually, it's more like Chicago that can't forgive the poor guy. On October 14, 2003, during Game 6 of the NL Championship Series, Bartman was in the stands when he beat Moises Alou to a foul ball that could have ended the inning, and quite possibly the then-95 years of misery for Cubs fans everywhere. Instead, the Florida Marlins scored eight runs that inning to win the game, and in turn win Game 7 as well, propelling them to a second World Series championship.

No, not the SmackDown Diva. This woman was heaven sent, but no sooner was she created from one of Adam's ribs than she starts ribbing the poor schmuck to bite into some forbidden fruit - and all because a serpent told her it was OK to do so! Way to go, Eve - now we're ALL unforgiven!
