Lilian
Garcia was shown with Christian and he's not only facing the
Intercontinental Champion, but he's facing his brother, Edge.
Lilian asked Christian if it was all worth it and Christian said
he was thinking. He was thinking that there's so many people in
this world that come so close to fulfilling their hopes and
dreams, only to fail miserably. The arena is full of people that
fit that description. Tonight, Christian has a chance to fulfill
his dreams, to prove something to the world that he's known his
entire life and that's that he's superior to his brother Edge.
Everybody is wondering if Kurt Angle will win the WWE Title. Who
cares. When Unforgiven is written into the history books, it'll be
the night that Christian walks away with the Intercontinental
Title. Was it worth it? You're damn right it was.

want to be reminded about that. They are trying to forget the RTC!
