……..
Sunday September 17 will be a special night in Toronto for Canadian WWE(R) Superstars!
TORONTO, Sept. 6 /CNW/ - On Sunday September 17, World Wrestling
Entertainment, Inc. returns to Toronto's Air Canada Centre with the sold-out
pay-per-view extravaganza, Unforgiven(R).
Unforgiven will be a very important event for two of WWE's top
Superstars: Edge(TM) and Trish Stratus(TM). Edge will defend his WWE
Championship against John Cena(TM) in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match - a
match that Edge has never lost and John Cena has never participated in.
Orangeville, Ontario native Edge was voted "Most Likely to Become WWE
Champion" in his high-school yearbook, and that prophecy has come true. This
is the second time that Edge has held the coveted WWE Championship and the
first time that he will defend it in front of a hometown crowd.
"Nothing can top the feeling of being the WWE Champion - this is
spectacular," Edge said, "this is a really triumphant moment, not only for me,
but also for everyone who has supported my career throughout the years: my
family, my friends and my fans. How many times does the guy who's voted "Most
Likely to Become WWE Champion" actually get to defend that Championship in his
hometown?"
Unforgiven will also be a landmark occasion for Toronto's darling Trish
Stratus and her fans. After an impressive and lengthy career in WWE, the
reigning Diva of the Decade, 3 time Babe of the Year and 6 time Women's
Champion has decided to retire, and her final match will take place at
Unforgiven.
"I've worked hard, and when you combine WWE and my prior fitness
modeling, I've spent the last decade of my life on the road...traveling, being
away from home and just working," Trish said. "I've done all of my growing up
on the road. I just felt that it was time to step back and enjoy the fruits of
my labour, take time to "stop and smell the roses" so to speak."
Commenting on the fact that her last match will be for the Women's
Championship and in her home town, Trish adds: "No matter where my final match
took place, it would always be special...but if this were a fairy tale, the
writer couldn't come up with a better scenario. My family, my friends...I
couldn't ask for a more perfect scenario. To survive and prosper in this
industry, all the sacrifices, you have to have the support of the people
closest to you, and to go out in front of the people who always supported me
is fitting for the moment."
Unforgiven at the Air Canada Centre is sold out, but fans can catch the
event on pay-per-view (contact your local satellite or cable provider) or at
Cineplex Entertainment theatres, Empire Theatres or Landmark Cinemas (check
your local listings).
