Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not very good at all!
Review: The only reason I didn't give Bad Blood 2003 a 1 rating is because Chris Jericho carried Goldberg to a good match. The rest of the matches wre pretty bad. The hell in a cell match was an average hell in a cell match. It was the second worst HIAC next to taker vs. bossman from wrestlemania 15. Overall Bad Blood 2003 was just bad.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Average
Review: Not bad, but not good, either.

-Christopher Nowinski & Rodney Mack vs The Dudley Boys
I really like Nowsinski in this match. He was pulling off some excellent moves. The only problem is that his teammate, Rodney Mack, isn't the right partner for him. Nothing against Mack, but they have different styles and very few tag teams can have different styles and be good. OK match to start us off.
**/*****

-Scott Steiner vs Test
The winner gets Stacy Keibler in their corner. Scott had gotten a little better in the conditioning department by this PPV, but still had a little to work on. His moves improved vastly since his return to the WWE around late 2002. He could pick the pace up a little, which is always a good thing for big men.
**/*****
-Christian (c) vs Booker T
For the Intercontinental Championship. Good matchup between these two. Christian has some great tools to make it big time later in his career, and Booker was pulling off some nice moves as well. These two guys can work a good match with each other, but the ending was trash.
***/*****

-RVD and Kane (c) vs La Resistance
For the World Tag Team Championship. Pretty good match overall, but there wasn't enough action in it for me. RVD's unusual style with Kane's powerhouse style makes for an exciting team that you really don't know what you're going to get out of.
***/*****

-Goldberg vs Chris Jericho
Good solid match between the two. Jericho, as always, was impressive. This was really my first time seeing Goldberg, as I didn't watch WCW, and to be honest, I didn't really see what the big deal was. The jackhammer was good though. The one thing I'll remember about this PPV was the guy in the front row in the Tigger outfit, holding a "I'm a Jerichoholic" sign, and trying to start a "Goldberg Sucks" chant.
***/*****

-Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair
HBK isn't what he used to be, and it shows a little. However, he can still put on a match, and then you add in the world's greatest (pro) wrestler Ric Flair, and that sums it up.
****/*****
-HHH (c) vs Kevin Nash
HELL in a CELL. Dud. Plain and simple. Just no excitement at all in this entire match. Kevin Nash isn't the guy you want in this kind of match. The crowd just seemed out of it during this match, and Mick Foley as the special guest referee may have saved this match.
**/*****

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad PPV.
Review: Man, this had to be the worst Pay-per-view of the year 2003, and possibly even the worst PPV of the last decade. It's filled with meaningless filler matches that had poor/no build-up to them. This was like a 3-hour Raw. That "redneck Triatholon" was one of the stupidest things the WWE has put on in recent history.

It also had Triple H and Kevin "Big Lazy" Nash ruining the good image of the HITC match by putting on a just plain horrible match. Horrible.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terrible PPV
Review: - Redneck Triathlon
Absolutley awful. The matches were disappointing as it was, but then the redneck triathlon made it even worse. Felt like I was pouring acid on an open cut. The ITU and USAT should have sued WWE for even relating triathlon to that disaster.

- Chris Nowinski & Rodney Mack vs. The Dudley Boys
Opening match was a couple of mid-cards verses top-cards. Terrible.

- Scott Steiner vs. Test(Winner Gets Stacy)
This match was rather poor. Steiner was being wasted with the feud against Test. Also Test needs to work harder.

- Booker T vs. Christian for the IC Title
Excellent match. Stunning end if you watched it live. What do you mean he didn't win! Booker T and Christian in top form.

- La Resistance vs. RVD & Kane for the Tag Team Titles
Alright match. I was wanting the Canadiens... I mean French win. The french were right after all. Didn't press that enough for heat though.

- Goldberg vs. Chris Jericho
Jericho is a really good wrestler. So good he made this match worth watching a little. Goldberg can't wrestle. Jericho had to work twice as hard to make Goldberg look decent.

- Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair
Most disappointing match. I was hoping for a long classic. The egos of Nash and HHH would let Michaels and Flair have the time needed for it. There was one great shot in the match, but it ended way too quickly for these two great wrestlers.

- Triple H Vs. Kevin Nash
If you've got two bad wrestlers, put in a cage, have it no rules to hide the fact there two guys can't do well in the ring. This match was awful. Just more "razor-sharp" chain link fencing? The match was boring and was a terrible way to end the show.

This PPV was terrible. Michaels v Flair had so much potential. Jericho v Goldberg was decent, with Jericho doing all he could to make the match good. The rest was rather boring.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Raw's First PPV was very good
Review: Bad Blood was the first ever Raw only ppv. Many people thought this show was bad, but they aren't happy with anything WWE gives them. Every match was decent and there wasn't one dud on the card.

1. Rodney Mack and Christopher Nowinski d. Dudley Boyz
This match was thrown in at the last second and was really only used as a means to warm up the crowd. Not a bad match, nothing special though. Mack and Nowinski win with the use of Nowinski's protective mask.

2. Winner Gets Stacy Kiebler's Managerial Services
Scott Steiner d. Test
Surprisingly this was a pretty good match with some really great back and forth action. Test swings the chair and has it bounce back in his face, allowing Steiner to hit his finisher and win. I did not like the decision to have Steiner win Stacy because it would have made a much better storyline to have him keep fighting for her and get her later. Still, not bad.

3. Intercontinental Championship Match
Booker T d. Christian (champion) by dq
This wasn't bad, even though the way the match ended was awful.
Christian leaves and the referee orders him to return to the ring or he will forfeit the title, but when he gets back in the ring he gets dq'ed for using the belt. Not a good way to end the match. They should have put the belt on Booker in the first place to bring credibility back to the belt. Anyways, a decent match.

4. World Tag Team Championship Match
La Resistance d. Kane and Rob Van Dam (champions)
This match was good, even though there was poor buildup and I don't like La Resistance. They win the belts after a flapjack.
Kane did not turn heel as many had expected which was a disappointment.

5. Goldberg d. Chris Jericho
This was a great match, which is surprising considering Goldberg was in it. Chris Jericho wins over the crowd and carried Goldberg through a great match, but eventually loses to Goldberg via a jackhammer.

6. Ric Flair d. Shawn Michaels
This match wasn't given enough time to develop into the classic many had expected, but was still very good. HBK crashes through Flair's body and through a table on the outside, then gets his brains scrambled by a vicious chair shot from Randy Orton. This was a good match but should have been longer.

7. Hell in a Cell World Heavyweight Championship Match
Triple H (champion) d. Kevin Nash
Special Referee-Mick Foley
Almost everyone thought this match was horrible, but I loved it. It was different from every other Hell in a Cell match. Triple H uses various things from a toolbox including a screwdriver that he drives into Nash's head. Triple H nails Nash with the chair, then turns and creams Foley for no reason. Eventually Triple H retains with a sledgehammer shot and pedigree. Great match if you like bloodbaths and seeing Triple H rip through another contender.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Bad Blood
Review: With this being the first RAW PPV ever, I had high expectations for the event. I can't say it didn't meet expectations, but then again I can't say it did.
Dudleyz-Nowinski/Mack: Maybe a few years from now I'll look back on this match and say that I saw the first pay-per-view match of these up and comers' careers. Nah. Bad opener for the event.
Test-Steiner: Okay match (Stacy's smile after the match lit up the arena). Side note: Six months before, Steiner was in a World Title match and didn't win, but wins Keibler's services here. Is he better off with Keibler than the World title?
Booker T-Christian: Can Book ever catch a break in WWE? He won the IC battle royal at Judgment Day, only to watch Christian walk out with the belt; a month later, he has Christian beat and even gets help from the ref when Christian walks out. And the event is in his hometown of Houston. Wow!
World Tag Title match: You would think that the days of the Hardys, the Dudleys, and APA was decades ago. Anyway, okay match (since when has anyone gotten a title shot as quickly as these guys?) So much for the odd couple of RVD and Kane.
Y2J-Goldberg: For a match with history dating back a century, you'd think it would have been better. Y2J kept things interesting, but Goldberg is Goldberg.
HBK-Flair: Yes, these guys are old, and yes these guys are past their prime, but can we ask for anything more from these guys? The Legends both held their own. The best match of the night, despite the ending.
Red-neck triathlon: Red-neck traithlon? I like Austin as much as the next fan, but come on! Who didn't see that pie-eating contest from a mile away? (Note: I don't mind things being predictable, as long as it's entertaining.)
Hell in a cell: People need to realize that not every hell in a cell is going to have someone being thrown off the top like at King of the Ring in June 1998, but I was expecting more especially with Mick Foley as guest referee. I thought it was an entertaining match (possible match of the year candidate). The screwdriver spot was interesting. I kind of had a feeling about the end and I was right, but still an entertaining match.
It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't outstanding, either. I didn't see Vengance, but I'd recommend that over Bad Blood.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I'm Sick Of Separate Brands!!
Review: Why aren't there more than 8 matches in most PPV's. can they not make more than 8 or they just incompetent!

Let's get this party started...

Redneck Triathlon - 0 stars
- Pointless, annoying, a complete waste of money payers time

Dudley Boyz vs. Rodney Mack/Nowinski - 0 stars
- Short, and really lame, Nowinski always cheats

Intercontinental Title Match - 1 star
- The fact that Booker had so many chances to win that
damn title on RAW (until he finally won it on RAW) but
didn't win it here.
- Christian is just like any other a**hole title holder,
Get myself DQ'd or cheat to keep the title

World Tag-Team Title Match - 1 star
- Tell Kane/RVD way to lose your titles to french idiots!
- RVD/Kane should have totally won this, if not for the
move that RVD nailed on Kane by accident, then RVD lost
it for the both of them!

Shawn Michaels vs. Flair - 2 stars
- The fact that Orton had to come in with a steel chairshot
he's always sticking his punk a** in where he shouldn't
but he does anyway
- But at least I got to see that decrepid fossil Flair get
drilled through a table!

Goldberg vs. Jericho - 2 stars
- Someone tell me why Goldberg looked like he couldn't fight
up to his full potential even though he missed that huge
spear, but still he kicked Y2Jerk's a** in the best way
possible!

Scott Steiner vs. Test (winner gets Stacy) - 1 star
- Fight was decent until that jacka** Test faked an injury
just to get Stacy and rub it in the face of Steiner (again)

Hell In A Cell - 3 stars
- Best match of the whole thing, some innovation; lots of
great action, but Nash seemed like he couldn't do that
much to Triple H (even when he was getting injured)
Triple H has this "Use things to injure someone just so
you can keep your title longer" thing going on through
his whole career!!

But all in all, if you cage matches buy this, because IT
WAS GOOD, just like any Hell In A Cell match - - -

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: This was just AWFUL !!!!!!!
Review: There was lots of hype for this lousy event. There wasn't much good in this PPV. DEFINTELY do NOT buy this PPV DVD. I recommend buying Vengence instead. It was superior in every aspect, with much better wrestling and just a more entertaining show. This is the worst PPV of 2003......so far The Hell in the Cell match is even pathetic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For the first brand PPV, this is a underrated event.
Review: World Heavyweight Championship (Hell in a Cell)
Guest Referee: Mick Foley
Triple H vs Kevin Nash--Everyone knocks Triple H in general but he actually becomes "hardcore" in this match. Screwdrivers, chairs, tool box, barbed wired two-by-four with a strap to actually put on the post, etc. Not the usual swinging that goes with the barbed wire two-by-four. Bloody match, everyone bleeds. Hunter, Nash, Foley and MR. SOCKO! When you see the match, you can tell that Foley doesn't want Triple H to win. But I won't give away much of the match. 10/10

Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair--Personally, I thought it was a little overhyped. But it was even rumored to be the MAIN EVENT, over the World Championship/Hell in a Cell match. But when you see this match, it was defiently worth the hype. A true match of legends and HBK was really holding his own even with the cross body drop on a table landing on Flair and thought it was going to get better until Randy Orton saws up and ruins the fun. I can't wait till HBK gives Orton some "Sweet Chin Music". 10/10

Goldberg vs Chris Jericho--Started off kind of slow but as it went on you can tell that Jericho was fading and fading fast. Goldberg gets injuried in the match and continues, showing why he is "Da Man". 9/10

World Tag Team Titles
Kane & Rob Van Dam vs La Resistance--If it wasn't for RVD, this match would had been more boring then Lance Storm. Kane and RVD put up a good fight until they lost to the upstart La Resistance. Sadly, this would be the last time RVD and Kane would be a tag team. 3/10

Intercontinetal Title
Christian vs Booker T--I don't know. I really don't think having Christian as the I-C champ is good. Always walking out and getting counted out. Thankfully, Jack Doan (referee) tells Christain he must return or he will lose the I-C title and then breezes through and continues his reign as the "Greatest Intercontinetal Champion". 5/10

Test vs Scott Steiner Winner has (Stacy Keibler as there Manager)Oh man!!! I think every guy in the arena wishes he could had been in the match but I'll keep my love for Stacy a little low-key. Actually thought this was the "unsung match winner". Good overall match and you couldn't get the smile off of Stacy afterwards. 7/10

Rodney Mack & Chris Nowinski vs Dudley Boyz--Whats Chris Nowinski, the Havard grad, doing with Rodney Mack and Teddy Long. Skip this one, not a good opening match, zzzZZZzzz. 1/10

Redneck Triathlon
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Eric Bischoff--I thought it was hysterical. Burping contest, oh man I really felt bad for Terri Runnels. She was there right in the middle of the "gas". Pie Eating Contest, I'm not going to tell you what happend. All I'll say is: Mae Young, World's Oldest Thong, Bronco Buster, OH LORD! Singing Contest, Stone Cold busts Bischoff for lip-singing. The fourth and final event, Pig Pen Fun. I feel bad for Bischoff, I hope you took about 100 showers. I don't know whats worse, Mae Young's pie or Pig Pen Fun. 10/10
