Movie Reviews of WWE Bad Blood 2004
Movie Review: HBK & HHH goes to Hell while Benoit proves Kane wrong!
Summary: 4 Stars
Bad Blood 2004 was the last Bad Blood ppv. This bad blood hosted not only another hell in a cell match, but it hosted the longest hell in a cell match thus far in history. The event also held a fabulous world title match between the rabid wolverine chris benoit and the big red machine kane. But probably this event will most likely be known for the tremendous hell in a cell match between the heartbreak kid, shawn michaels and the game, triple h.
1. World Tag Team Titles
La Resistance vs. Chris Benoit & Edge
This was an alright opener. you didn't see much of benoit in this match unil the end. Edge mostly gets isolated in this one. kane would come out and cause the dq. a decent tag team match. 3/5
2. Tomko w/ Trish vs. Chris Jericho
tomko isn't the best big man but jericho really made him look kind of good in this match. jericho did a good job in making tomko look good. a nice match to watch. 3.5/5
3. IC Title
Randy Orton vs. Shelton Benjamin
before things got underway, orton came out and taunted the crowd. benjamin made his enterance and went for the quick win right away. benjamin and orton are very good athletes which made this a good match for the ic title belt to watch. flair also made his way to ringside during this match. i enjoyed this match. a very good back and forth battle between these two. 4/5
4. Women's Title
Lita vs. Gail Kim vs. Trish vs. Victoria
this was a great women's match that i've seen in a long time. these four gals gave it all out there. gail was looking pretty good in there while using her submission holds. i felt the ending was quite appropriate as well. pretty good women's match up. 3.5/5
5. Eugene vs. The Coach
I personally do not like eugene. so this match didn't catch my attention at all. i never found it amusing but the fans sure was over eugene's tactics and style in the ring. to me this match was just a poor filler with a couple a comedic spots. i did however enjoyed the stunner and the rock bottom by eugene. 1.5/5
6. World Heavyweight Title
Chris Benoit vs. Kane
i swear, benoit made kane looked like he was better than benoit himself in this match. this had to been one of kane's best one on one matches in his career. kane really took it to benoit and just kept on giving it to him. kane looked very good and so did benoit even after competing in a match beforehand. this was a great match. if it wasn't for the hell in a cell, this would for sure be the match of the night. fantastic title match. 4.5/5
7. Hell in a Cell Match
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels
as other reviewers pointed out, this is indeed the longest hell in a cell bout in history. lasting over 47 mintues, this one could possibably be the best hiac match. this also was a perfect fit to end this rivalry.
it did went a little slow at times. triple h and hbk had an awesome performance in this match. the match was just gruling and brutal at the same time. both used the cell pretty good along with it's surroundings. you see a little reminiscence from their previous encounters where triple h targets the back of hbk and hbk bringing out a ladder. this hell in a cell match was unbelieveable and great. classic way to end this confrontation. 5/5
the hell in a cell match was awesome. the undercard was decent with a great world title bout. this ppv isn't a disappointer.
Movie Review: See The Longest Hell In The Cell Plus A Solid World Title Match Right Here!
Summary: 4 Stars
Bad Blood 2004 was a solid card that saw two solid main events plus a good undercard. Let's get to it:
La Resistance Vs. Chris Benoit & Edge (World Tag Team Title Match) - This was just a filler to help tease a feud between Benoit and Edge (which did happen in mid-2005) and further the Benoit/Kane storyline. Anyway, the duo was on the verge of winning the tag titles when Kane (who had a World title match with Benoit later in the card and had a situation with Edge at the time) interfered, costing the duo the titles though they did win by DQ.
Chris Jericho vs Tyson Tomko - Tomko will not go down as one of the best big men ever though he isn't bad by any means. Jericho made him look like he should've been on the Undertaker's level this night! Even the interference of Trish Stratus (who had a women's title match later) couldn't help Tomko here as Jericho took the match with a running inziguri for the win.
Randy Orton Vs. Shelton Benjammin (Intercontinental Title Match) - First great bout of the night as the I-C title is used in the way it should be and that's help elevate future stars! Good back and forth action with hilarious interference attempts by Ric Flair himself! Forgot how it ends but I do know Randy Orton takes this one and retains the I-C strap.
Victoria vs Lita vs Trish Stratus vs Gail Kim (WWE Women's Championship Match) - Admittedly, I didn't watch this one but I'll have to one day because this was back when nearly everyone in the women's division could wrestle! I do remember that Trish won this match and took the 5th of her record setting seven Women's titles.
Eugene vs Jonathon Coachman - Eugene was really over with the crowd at this point in his career while Coachman just.....SUCKED! LOL! Just kidding as he did what any good heel is supposed to do and that's get on people's nerves. He definitely did that here as Eugene took this one. I do remember laughing a lot during this match too!
Chris Benoit Vs. Kane (World Heavyweight Title Match) - While more known now for his murder of his wife Nancy and son Daniel and suicide, Chris Benoit was a great WRESTLING champion. I stress wrestling because he wasn't a great overall character like his former friend, the late (and still loved) Eddie Guerrero or Kurt Angle but in the ring, he was top shelf.
If his matches with Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Guerrero and HHH isn't proof of that, this match with Kane certainly was. Not that Kane sucks because he doesn't but Benoit really elevated Kane's game here as he looked the best I've ever seen him in recent years. Ending comes out of the blue but it was one of Kane's best matches and one of Benoit's better title defenses during his one World Title reign.
HHH Vs. Shawn Michaels - In this Hell In The Cell match, HHH and Shawn proved you didn't need to do crazy stunts to make this match exciting. This was about two men who hated each other and wanted to prove to the other that they were the best. They sold this angle so good that you really believed that they were not only willing to kill the other to win, they were willing to die themselves to get their hand raised!
This was old school wrestling at its best. Think Rick Steamboat Vs. Ric Flair from 1989 or Flair Vs. Harley Race at Starrcade '83 to get an idea of what I am talking about. This wasn't no 5, 10 or even 20 minute match. This was a near 50 minute war! The kind of bout you would've saw Flair, Steamboat, Race, a young Sting or even Dusty Rhodes compete in (don't laugh, despite being so fat Dusty could go an hour if needed).
Anyway, no words can describe this match. You just need to see it. It is also on the new WWE Hell In The Cell collection that is available now.
Overall, this is a good card to get. The final two matches plus the I-C title bout makes this one a keeper in my view!

Movie Review: Hell in a Cell Returns & Will Benoit survive the monster?
Summary: 4 Stars
WWE Bad Blood 2004 was an event that I have not seen in quite some time. Actually, last time I saw it was on PPV and the overall quality of the event was pretty good. Some things did not set well with me but considering how bad the previous Bad Blood event was, we can not complain with this one too much either.
World Tag Team Champions La Resistance vs Chris Benoit & Edge. This match was "just there" to put over the storyline of the World title match between Benoit & Kane later on in the night. The match was good and it served it's purpose as the opening contest.
Chris Jericho vs Tyson Tomko. Remember when Jericho was the first Undisputed Champion, well 2004 was not a great year for him as most of the time he was put in filler matches. Anyways, Jericho carries Tomko to his best WWE match ever and makes him look good while the match is not bad either.
Intercontinental Champion Randy Orton vs Shelton Benjamin. Honestly, this is the way that the Intercontinental title should be used for to help elevate the careers of young stars. That was the case here as Orton & Benjamin deliver a solid back and forth contest that had the crowd on the edge of their seats throughout the match. Add in the hilarious interference of Ric Flair and you have the first great match of the night.
Women's Champion Victoria vs Lita vs Trish Stratus vs Gail Kim. This was during the time that the women's division had women that could wrestle. As for the match itself, it was decent for what it was but it seemed too short.
Eugene vs Jonathon Coachman. Eugene was really over with the crowd at this time but honestly, I could only watch this match once because even though it does feature some good moments, the actual match is really not that good.
World Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit vs Kane. The question going into this match was can Benoit make Kane submit to the crossface? The psychology of the match was worked out perfectly and the match was intense with some nice display of power moves by Kane and of course great technique from Benoit. The ending came out of nowhere but truly one of Kane's best matches and one of Benoit's best title defenses.
Hell in a Cell: Triple H vs Shawn Michaels. This is truly one of the reasons if not the reason to see this event. This Cell match did not have to rely on someone flying off the top of the cell or going through the cell, not even about the amount of weapons being used. This was about two men beating each other down to the point that you are left exhausted after seeing this 45 minute war. There are some weapons used like a ladder, chairs, steel stairs and even a cool table spot. Overall, awesome main event.
The DVD extras are just as good as the event itself. It features a bonus match, couple of promos including Triple H's HIAC highlights, and never before seen footage. Overall one of the best that the WWE produced in 2004.

This was really a cool dvd to have. I like to watch the Bad Blood Series.
I collect as many WWE dvds as I can. Actually, I watch them all too.
