Such a frustrating disappointment

Excellent, a Must See

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This wasn't really a bad PPV even though it was second PPV of 2003 {The last Raw PPV was Insurrextion}.FIRST MATCH- DUDLEY BOYS VS. RODNEY MACK & CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI W/ THEODORE LONG Pretty bad match to start the night. Rodney Mack & Christopher Nowinski get the win in this tag team match. 2/10SECOND MATCH- BOOKER T VS. Christian FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Again these two can seriously put on a good match but if Booker T can seriously win. Christian wins after a roll-up on Booker T using the ropes to get the win & retain his WWE IC title. 4/10THIRD MATCH- SCOTT STEINER VS. TEST WINNER GETS STACY'S MANAGERAL SERVICES Not a bad match between these two men as it is great to see Steiner finally getting the win. Steiner wins after a Pumphandle Slam. 3/10FOURTH MATCH- ROB VAN DAM & KANE VS. LA RESISTANCE FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Good tag team match, it was definitely better than their previous encounter at Insurrextion. Unfortunately La Resisitance win to become the new World Tag Team Champions. 5/10FIFTH MATCH- GOLDBERG VS. CHRIS JERICHO Okay brawl between these two men as Jericho hurts Goldberg's shoulders during the match & works on them trying to wear Goldberg down. But to no avail Goldberg fights back, nails a Spear, followed by a Jackhammer to get the hard fought win. 4/10SIXTH MATCH- RIC FLAIR VS. SHAWN MICHAELS Believe it or not, the match between these two legends definitely pulls out a good match. The best highlight of the match is when Michaels nailed a flying elbow on Flair through a table {I was surprised that Michaels didn't get disqualified}. After Michaels was nearly about to get the win, Randy Orton interferes & nails an RKO on Michaels, then gets Ric Flair, puts him on Michaels for the cover as Flair gets the 3 count to get the huge win against Michaels. 5/10SEVENTH MATCH- TRIPLE H VS. KEVIN NASH IN A HELL IN A CELL MATCH FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE: MICK FOLEY Not the best Hell In A Cell match I watched but it was still alright. Both men were busted open, but HHH survived the brutal battle & nailed a Pedigree on Nash for the 3 count & to get the win to retain his World Heavyweight Championship in this brutal match. 5/10This wasn't really a bad Raw PPV as it is the second of 2003. Most of the matches were dragged down a bit but the Flair-Michaels battle & the Hell In A Cell match made the PPV pretty good & better.Overall: I'll give it 7/10 & a C+

Well, what can you say about this car crash of a paper view. You would have thought the WWE would have wanted to redeem themselves after the unbelievably bad Judgement Day. However, Bad Blood is up there with JD for the contender of the worst ppv of 2003. Anyway, on with the matches: Match 1:The Dudley Boys vs. Rodney Mack and Christopher Nowinski. A pretty bog standard opener. Not very exciting, and extremely forgettable. Mack and Nowinski cheat for the win. Winners: Mack and NowinskiMatch 2:Scott Steiner vs. Test. The winner gets Stacy Keibler as their manager. I was not expecting an amazing match, and I was not wrong. The best part about this one was Steiner trying to jump off the apron on to Test, but ending up slipping, and making a right prat of himself. Steiner still managed to pull off the victory. Winner: Scott SteinerMatch 3:Intercontinental Title Match:Christian vs. Booker T. Compared to the first two matches this was quite entertaining. The event was held in Booker's home state, and yet he didn't win. It's not the fact that he didn't win that annoys me, its that he lost in the most stupid ending to a match ever. Christian tried to get himself counted out, but the ref went on the mike and said he would lose his title if he got counted out. So Christian ran back to the ring and nailed Booker with the title belt to get himself dq'ued. Winner and still IC Champion: ChristianMatch 4:Tag Team Title Match: Kane and RVD VS. La Resistance. Tag matches, in my opinion are absolute tripe. This match is another example of bad tag team matches. Anyway, RVD makes a mistake and takes out Kane. This leads to the French guys to pick up the win and become new tag champions. Who cares? I certainly don't. Winner and new champs: La ResistanceMatch 5:Goldberg vs. Chris Jericho. This was the second best match of the night. These two men genuinely don't like each other back from the old WCW days. Anyway, the highlights of this one were Goldberg missing a spear on the outside, and going straight through the barricade. Bill recovered though and hit Chris with the spear and the jackhammer. Funny at the end when Bill argues with an idiot in a Tigger costume. Winner: GoldbergMatch 6:Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair. On paper this looked like it would be a great match. Great this wasn't, but its still the best match of the night. Its biggest fault was the length. It was too short in my opinion. Highlights include Michaels hitting a huge splash on Ric from the top rope through a table on the outside. Randy Orton came out from the crowd and got a sick Sweet Chin Music for his trouble. Another cheap ending, as Orton nails Michaels with a chair, and rolls the nature boy on top of him for the win. Winner: Ric FlairMatch 7:Hell in a Cell for the World Heavyweight Championship:Triple H vs. Kevin Nash. Special guest ref Mick Foley. Well were do I start. This match was the epitome of poor. Most Hell in a Cell matches are memorable for a good reason. This however, will probably not be remembered, although if it were, it would be remembered as the worst cell in history. This was even worst than Undertaker Boss Man cell at Wrestlemania XV. The best bumps in this match went to Mick. Thats right, the ref. Most Hell in a cell matches now don't finish on top of the cell. However all the other cells after this were very good. This match was brutal, but in all honesty, really boring as well. All three men were busted open by the end. I always knew the game would win this match, and what do you know he did. He hit Nash with the pedigree for the win. Winner, and still champion: Triple H.By the way there was a redneck triathlon between Stone Cold and Eric Bishoff. It was absolutely awful. Austin won, but this entire contest was time wasting. It took up too much of the show. Its not because of this though, that this event is so poor. The matches were just plain bad. Only two matches were pretty good, but thats it. Bad Blood was really bad, and its not worth watching again I can tell you. Stay away at all costs if you are tempted to see this. You have been warned....

Although it wasn't as big a dud as Judgment Day this was still bad.Nash vs Triple H- bad, bad match. Mick Foley was the only interesting thing about this match. Hey Hunter you will never be an all time great. You were given three shots to get a decent match out of Nash and you failed every time. Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels carried him to excellent matches every time they were in the ring with him.Y2J vs Goldberg- good match carried by Jericho.Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels- A match that should have been given half an hour but was reduced to a measly 15 minutes. Best match of the night by a fair margin.Booker vs Christian- Was passable until the worthless finish.Kane/RVD vs La Resistance- Another passable time filler.Everything else was pathetic to say the least. The main one being the Austin-Bischoff redneck triathlon. I cant understand why matches weren't given time to develop why these two took up half an hour of time. And also why not have 11 or 12 matches just for the sake of having everyone on PPV. That would make the Raw Roster happy seeing as they would receive royalties out of the PPV and therefore would be excited to work unlike what we get now with half hearted efforts.

My God, this was a bad show. Just awful. First off you have Kevin Nash and Triple H in the main event. That match was so bad at Judgment Day they had to throw a gimmick like the Hell in a Cell in to raise people's interest. And even that didn't get the job done. They needed to take Mick Foley (who as ref is more fun to watch than H and Nash wrestling) to get people to care.This show had a little bit of potential. Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels could have been so much better. But it was just a let down. Booker T and Christian was decent but had an awful ending. Sadly the best match on the card was Jericho vs. Goldberg. Which proved why Y2J is the MVP of the RAW brand. He can get a good match out of Goldberg. That's pretty impressive.Those are just the main matches. The other parts were nothing to write home about either. Mae Young (who should never be on TV period) was in a thong. Why McMahon thinks she should be on TV is beyond me. And Kane and RVD, two of the most under used members of the WWE roster job to La Resistance. The most green wrestlers in the company.Anyway, awful show. Don't buy the video or DVD. Instead by some real entertainment and check out a NWA: TNA show.
