Dudley Boyz vs. Rodney Mack & Christopher Nowinski
This is really the only bad match. Could've been much better but it's just boring.

Scott Steiner vs. Test
Looks bad on paper but Steiner looked like he was trying hard to put on a good match. Turns out to be pretty decent.

Intercontinental Championship
Christian vs. Booker T
Weird ending. The match up until that point was very good and just like that it's over.

World Tag Team Championship
Rob Van Dam & Kane vs. La Resistance
Last ppv Kane appears with a mask. The match was a showcase for the future push of Kane and a reasons to get the belts on La Resistance. It's watchable.

Goldberg vs. Chris Jericho
The fued was built on legitimate reasons at one time in the past. Should've been longer but Jericho gets a good match out of Goldberg.

Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair
Just a hair under a classic rating. They really needed a rematch but this one was pretty good.

Hell in a Cell for the World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. Kevin Nash w/ Mick Foley as special ref
Ok people what's the problem?! The match isn't slow. In fact it's very brutal. A lot of weapons and blood. Even Foley gets in on the action. Great match.

TRIPLE H VS. KEVIN NASH
VERY GOOD HELL IN THE CELL MATCH. WISH THEY LEFT THE CELL, BUT WITH ALL THE WEAPONS THEY HAD IN THE RING, DOES IT REALLY MATTER?
WINNER: TRIPLE H
RATING: 9

THIS WAS PRETTY GOOD FOR THE FIRST EVER RAW PAY PER VIEW, COULDVE BEEN BETTER, BUT STILL GOOD. I GUESS THIS PPV WAS WORTH 7.5 STARS OUT OF 10. CLOSE ENOUGH TO 4 STARS. I RECOMMEND YOU TO BUY THE VHS VERSION, I GOT IT FOR 6 BUCKS!

First of all I'd like to say that I was at this event and thought it was damn good. I'd have to say it's only problems where too short of matches and that the hell in a cell main event wasn't really as good as it could have been. Anyways, here's the matches and my rating of them.
1. Chris Nowinski & Rodney Mack vs. The Dudley Boys
6/10
2. Scott Steiner vs. Test(Winner Gets Stacy)
7/10
3. Booker T vs. Christian for the IC Title
8/10
4. La Resistance vs. RVD & Kane for the Tag Team Titles

7/10
5. Goldberg vs. Chris Jericho
8/10
6. Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair
9/10
7. HELL IN A CELL For The World Heavyweight Championship: Triple H Vs. Kevin Nash
9/10
This event also featured the "redneck triathalon" which got a 10/10 because it was the most entertaining part of the show.
All in all i think this ppv was about an 8/10 and was a good ppv to start off the raw-only and smackdown-only ppvs.

This was WWE's attempt in trying to bring back one of their old In Your House ppv events. I don't say this is the worst event of 2003. I still think that goes to Judgment Day (which was the ppv before this one). But I do say this is the second worst ppv of the year. This event hosted the "Redneck Triathlon" between RAW's Co-GM's, Stone Cold Steve Austin & Eric Bischoff. Meaning Bischoff & Austin throughout the night competed in three different Redneck events. The first event was a Burping Contest, second was a "Pie" Eating contest, and the last event was Pig Pin Fun. Those events are entertaining to a degree but overall this event is bad to the core. I'll say it now, I don't recommend this event to anyone.

Dudley Boyz vs. Rodney Mack & Christopher Norwinski
Bad opener. The match flowed for a little bit but quickly turned into complete garbage. 1.5/5

Winner gets the Managerable Services of Stacy Keibler
Scott Steiner vs. Test
On paper this looks like a complete dud but Steiner looked to be he was actually trying his hardest to put on a good match for everybody. A few good wrestling and this turned out to be a decent match up. 3/5

Intercontinental Championship
Christian vs. Booker T
This feud started at Judgment Day where in all reality Booker T won the battle royal. But Christian cheated and won the IC title at Judgment Day. The match started slow but picked up. It became a disappointment when it ended so suddenly. 3.25/5

World Tag Team Championship
La Resistance vs. Kane & RVD
This match was only here to end whatever was left of the team of Kane & RVD. Nothing really worth noting here. Just a match to put over Kane into becoming a heel again. And for the trivia buffs out there, this is the last ppv match where Kane wrestles with his mask on. 2.75/5

Goldberg vs. Chris Jericho
I enjoyed this match. Goldberg goes for his spear early on and hurts his shoulder after crashing through the barricade wall. Jericho then trys to work on the injured shoulder. It could have been better but still one of the high notes of the night. 3.5/5

Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
With all due respect to all of the reviewers out there. This match is not bad at all. I feel this match is defiantley one of the most under-rated matches ever. It was very entertaining and a good first back and forth encounter between these two legends. A table even makes an appearence in this match. The only problem I have though is that the match is way too short. But I loved the ending and overall I enjoy this match a great deal. Match of the night for me. 4.25/5

Hell in a Cell Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. Kevin Nash w/ Mick Foley as the Special Referee
I'm not going to crap on this match. I felt it was very brutal for being a HIAC match. A lot of sick spots involving a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire and a screw driver. Foley even takes some shots too. This isn't a bad contest at all. It just didn't feel like all of the puzzle pieces fit together. 4/5

As I said, this event is not recommended. I'll pass on this event if I was you.

1. the dudleyz vs christopher nowinski and rodney mack 5.5/10 a pretty good opener and a very bad ending

2. scott stenier vs test winner gets stacy kebliers managerial services 6/10 ok match im a steiner fan but isnt it true that he used steriods?

3. (intercontinental championship)6.5/10 christian vs booker t a good match with lots of cool moves like the missle dropkick and the scissors kick to the outside a very very bad ending booker should of won

4. (world tag team championship)6/10 kane and rvd vs la resisance 6.5/10 any match rvd is in is awesome because he has the coolest high flying moves FRANCE AND LA RESISTANCE SUCK! kane and rvd are like the 3rd best tag team besides the hardyz and the dudleyz a bad ending

5.goldberg vs chris jericho 8/10 FINALLY A GREAT MATCH!!! Goldberg RULES!!

6. shawn michaels vs ric flair 8.5/10 another great match the coolest part was when flair was lying on a table on the outside and michaels did a cross body to him from the turnbuckle!! hbk is the best wrestler EVER! very long but very entertaining

7. (world heavyweight championship) hell in a cell match if you like to see 2people beating the hell out of each other than this match is for you 7.5/10 not that good of a hell in a cell match just because its a hell in a cell match and a mian event a give it a 7.5

overall a bad ppv i suggest renting it just for the last 3 matchs my screnn name is tolazy2think3 so if u want to talk about wrestling or anything else just im me

Old Friends settle the score in the most brutal of all matches! Mick Foley is the guest referee, what more is their to say?

Chris Nowinski & Rodney Mack v. Dudley Boyz
This match was absolutely horrible. It wasn't put together until Heat. The Dudleys win in a bad match.**

Scott Steiner v. Test Winner gets Stacy
Oh my god how horrible. These two can't wrestle period. Test wins.*

Christian v. Booker T IC Title
WOW how bad does it get. This fued is annoying. They have Booker win the title on Raw the next night. Christian wins by DQ.*

RVD & Kane v. La Reistance World Tag Titles
No, No, No, No!!! This match was horrible too. La Reistance beats RVD & Kane and then RVD & Kane fight.*

Goldberg v. Chris Jericho
Thank you GOD!!! Finally a good match. Actually it wasn't good it was awesome. Jericho & goldberg put on a good match with Goldberg winning.*****

Shawn Michaels v. Ric Flair
This match was absolutely great. Wasn't as good as Goldberg v. Jericho. Flair wins in a thriller thanks to Orton.****1/2

Triple H v. Kevin Nash SPR Mick Foley World Title Hell In A Cell
This match was okay. It is Bad Blood's new theme to have HIAC every year. HHH beats Nash now why did Foley count for HHH. Anyways HHH retains in a good not great match.****

The WWE hit Houston Texas for there first Raw only Pay Per View. And out of the seven matches, four of them are pretty good. Plus you have The Redneck Triathlon where co. mangers Stone Cold Steve Austin and Eric Bischoff try to out do the other in a best 2 out of 3 event.Dudley Boyz vs. Rodney Mack & Christopher Nowinski ** Very slow and boring match.Scott Steiner vs. Test (Winner gets Stacy Keibler's managerial services) *** I wish WWE would have more matches like this one, where your fighting for a Diva. Steiner has inproved alot since his WWE Wrestling Debut at The Royal Rumble.Christian (Intercontinental Champion) vs. Booker T **1/2 The Match isn't bad untill the end. Booker T gets robbed of winning the championship in his home town. Rob Van Dam & Kane (Tag Team Champions) vs. La Resistance ** RVD and Kane deserve better matches than this. And La Resistance is one of the worst tag teams I've seen.Goldberg vs. Chris Jericho **** Good Match. Jericho puts on the better show between the two.Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair **** Good match from these two legends. Although Flair is getting up there in age he does the best he can do and delivers. Michaels is just as good as he was back in the late 1980's and 90's.Triple H (World Champion) vs. Kevin Nash in a Hell in a Cell **** Not the best Hell in a Cell but it's still a good one. One of Nash's better matches in quite awhile. And Triple H's best PPV. match since Wrestlemania 19. All kind of weapons used here. From steel chairs to barb wire to hand tools. Not a bad pay per view but I hope the next one for Raw will be better.

Nice ppv after all with the hell in a cell match, flair vs michael, austin and the redneck triathlon very hilarious,booker T and the poor Christian no matter what he says...
So a good show with an excellent match between Jericho and goldberg ,according to me the best perfomance for both men since a long time and for one reason the match had a good build up and Jericho showed great athletic moves in front of a poor 3 moves goldberg... What does Goldberg mean ?...Anyway BUY IT!!!
I think this year will be the best for WWE , at least better than last year...
And let me tell you something La Résistance s.... , it's a very bad CANADIAN team not FRENCH guys

Most people feared WWE Bad Blood as being the first show presented exclusively by what is felt to be the weaker of the two WWE brands, Raw. While by no means the worst show ever, Bad Blood isn't one that you'd want to run right out and get.

1. Ivory vs. Molly Holly -- This was on Sunday Night Heat, but will probably make the DVD as an extra. Not bad, but they should have gone with Ivory vs. Jazz since that's what they were building towards anyway.

2. Dudley Boyz vs. Rodney Mack / Christopher Nowinski -- Decent opener, but the Dudleys are becoming stale as a team. Nowinski has great potential and Mack is in desperate need of honing his in ring skills.

3. Scott Steiner vs. Test -- Steiner taints the match from the get-go by slipping off the ring apron. Still, this was 1,000 times better than it should have been as it wasn't totally unwatchable.

4. Christian vs. Booker T -- Christian has got to be Raw's next breakout superstar, but he didn't showcase it here. A disapointing finish to a subpar match. Maybe they both drank some funny Kool-Aid before the match.

5. Kane / Rob Van Dam vs. La Résistance -- The Frenchies are still very green, but SOMETHING had to be done with the Tag Team Titles and Kane & RVD were going nowhere as a team.

6. Chris Jericho vs. Goldberg -- My pick for best match of the night, as Y2J works a miracle and actually gets the crowd very much behind him. Puzzling finish as Goldberg has a nearly separated shoulder but still musters up the strength to pick up a 230 pound Jericho with that same arm for the Jackhammer. Still, Jericho is at the peak of his career as far as in-ring work goes and this match proves it.

7. Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair -- A shoe-in to be a top contender for best match of the year wasn't. The match went very short and was ruined by a run-in from Randy Orton. It was still good, just very disapointing. Hopefully there will be a rematch.

8. Hell in a Cell: Triple H vs. Kevin Nash (Referee: Mick Foley) -- The build-up made me want to see HHH vs. Foley more, personally. Nash doesn't belong in the main event and WWE knows it. A decent enough match, although the cell itself wasn't utilized much. Lesnar/Taker (the last HIAC match) was a lot better than this one.

Plus the Redneck Triathalon took place throughout the night. If you want to see fake burps, Eric Bischoff in pig slop, and an 80-year-old Mae Young in a thong, then you'd love it.

This PPV was more of an extended Raw that you have to pay for. Purchasing it wouldn't be the worst thing you could ever do as all of the matches are watchable to fairly good. Nothing is a classic, match-wise. What really drags it down from being a mediocre show into "Thumbs Down" territory is the Redneck Triathalon, which was unfunny and had no place on a show that people paid good money for.

It's probably in your best interest to avoid Bad Blood and use your twenty bucks for another show. If you want a good Hell in a Cell on DVD, get the Undertaker or Shawn Michaels comps as well as No Mercy 2002.
