Movie Reviews of WWE Bad Blood 2004
Movie Review: Good extras make up for the card itself....
Summary: 4 Stars
I won't deny it, the card itself wasn't the best there was. The tag team championship match had a horrible ending, and the Coach/Eugene match wasn't exactly the best match either of these two had, but the extras have some of the most intriguing storylines leading up to the ppv event itself....
World Tag Team Championship Match
Edge and Benoit vs. La Resistance [Champions]
I thought it was cool when Benoit and Edge were the tag champs. Of course this was before Edge went a little more mental than he already was and started rambling on about winning the world championship.
The match itself was a typical Raw match, some intensity by Benoit and some distractions by La Resistance to get the upperhand. However Kane came down to the ring and beat the crap out of Benoit, disqualifying La Resistance. 7/10
Eugene vs. The Coach:
Some funny moments by Eugene and the crowd was well into his corner. But then Coach called down some lady to distract Eugene and the whole match never regained speed. Coach's helper, Garrison Cade, tried to help Coach, but Eugene wins with the stunner. 7.5/10
Fatal Fourway for the Women's Championship
Lita vs. Trish Stratus vs. Victoria [Champion] vs. Gail Kim
I remember the days when the Women's Championship actually had some great competitors. It was actually a fast paced match, and all four women looked top notch.
I really wanted Lita to win, but Trish gets the pin literally out of nowhere and celebrates after becoming the only women in history to win the title 5 times. 7.5/10
Intercontinental Championship
Randy Orton [Champion] vs. Shelton Benjamin
Some ironic facts are that they cut out the scene where Randy slips on the ring ropes as he is doing his interview of how he has been champion for 7 months, and the longest reigning champ in 7 years. And the second fact is that now his opponent has held the championship almost as long, less than a year later
The match was fast paced, and Shelton really shined flying all over the ring. Ric Flair makes an apperance, which leads to the best moment of the match when Shelton is pinning Randy while he has Flair in the Figure Four. Randy wins with the roll of the tights. 8/10
Chris Jericho vs. Tyson Tomko
How long has it been since Jericho has even been in a one on one match for the World Title? Nowadays he's lucky if he wins a match against a jobber. Not much to say as Tomko sucks, Jericho tries to bring out the best in the match, but it didn't live up.
Trish tries to interfere but gets knocked down by Tomko and then Jericho wins with an enzugiri 7/10
World Heavyweight Championship
Chris Benoit [Champion] vs. Kane
Benoit makes Kane pay for attacking him in this intense Title match. Kane stuck to big men power moves and Benoit came alive after a few minutes and used some wrestling moves to take him down.
Everyone wondered if Benoit could make Kane tap, but Benoit rolled him up for the win. 8/10 It wasn't until a few weeks later that Benoit did force him to tap out.
Hell in a Cell Match
Triple H vs. Shawn Michales
This was almost 50 minutes of bloody hard hitting action. This was the perfect setting for their final match in their feud, but some moments were a little slow. But then again they only occured about 40 minutes into the match so its reasonable why they were exhausted.
Highlights include some incredible hard hitting chops by Shawn on Triple H. Then Shawn climbs on a ladder and gives an elbow drop onto Hunter. The ending occurs when HHH gives Shawn 3 pedigrees. 8.5/10 Just for the sheer amount of time they were in that match.
As you can see, even the best matches are only good to see everyonce in a while. Its the extras that make up for it.
EXTRAS:
Not only do you have the promos for Kane/Benoit, and HHH/HBK, but you also have a 2 minute highlight segment of HHH in his hell in a cell matches. A real good peice of highlights for that one.
It also has highlights of HHH beating up HBK. They include his street fight matches with Shawn and his awsome two out of three falls match at Armageddon 2002.
The second part has HBK beating up HHH in the same highlights of the same matches.
There are more but its these 4 parts of the extras that make up for the DVD. I would definately reccomend this if you are making a collection.
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: 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: BAD BLOOD 2004- HBK VS. TRIPLE H HELL IN A CELL
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this on ppv and it was a great ppv and was highlighted by the hell in a cell match which went for 47 minutes.La Resistance vs Benoit/Edge-Okay opener but it seemed alot like their RAW match and wasn't nothing special. Kane interferes and stops the match by beating up Benoit and Edge with chokeslams and smashes Benoit into the steel steps. La Resistance retain theit titles. 6/10 10 mins
Chris Jericho vs Tyson Tomco-Better match than I expected. Tomco is a real talent and should have a good future in the WWE but he was no match for the king of the world-Y2J. This match was only 6 minutes long but had fast action and good moves and it was entertaining watching Trish. Score reduced because of time not long enough 6/10 6 mins
Randy Orton vs Shelton Benjamin-Pretty good intercontinental title match but why was it this early it should have been just before the whwt match and the Hell in a cell. Solid match but was wasteful and got messy at times. The end was very sloppy with Orton winning by pulling Benjamins tights and Ric Flair interfering. The match was still better than their one on RAW. Two young talents puting on a great show. 8/10 15 mins
Victoria vs Trish vs Gail Kim vs Lita-Had a great start but as usual for a woman's match should be longer. Why don't they make woman's title matches 10 minutes instead of 4 or 5. All 4 of these woman are talented and this match had good action until it finished. I can't believe Trish is the Champion. 6/10
Eugene vs The Coach- I thought this match would be 2 minutes long and a waste of time but it turned into a decent show. This was not really a wrestling match but it was funny watching Eugene do his moves and act like an idiot. Eugene wins after Cade rips up his teddy and coach stuffs up the sneak attack. Eugene imitated the Rock with a rock bottom and a peoples elbow to pick up the win. P.S-I think the woman with the cookies won that Diva contest and is the new wwe woman superstar. 8/10 8 min
Benoit vs Kane-Decent title match.Every one on Amazon said this would be bad but it was pretty good. Kane dominated the whole match and I didn't know how they could make Benoit win because Kane could counter every move. The crossface,the sharpshooter and a headbutt off the top rope didn't put Kane down but a sneak roll up did.Benoit retains the title in a good match. 9/10 18 mins
HBK vs Triple H-A bloody affair between 2 great rivals/More blood than a good vampire movie. 47 minutes of scintillating action and was easily the best match of the year. chairs,ladders and tables were all used to inflict damage on each combatant. Shawn Michaels back was destroyed early and there was plenty of action with weapons. My favourite part was when HBK jumped off the top of the ladder and smashed Triple H through the table with an elbow to the chest. The only dissapointing thing was they didn't escape the cell and go on top of it. Best match I have ever witnessed, a perfect score 10/10 47 mins
Bad Blood 2004 was a great ppv and you should buy this on dvd.
Movie Review: This was the shiz-nit
Summary: 4 Stars
This bad blood was a lot better than last years, and the hell in the cell was waaaaaay better than last years also. An excellent world title match and the longest hell in the cell makes up for other bad matches on this card. Matches aren't in order.
La Resistance vs. Chris Benoit and Edge- This was the first match that Chris would wrestle and unfortunately it ended in a bad way when Kane came down into the ring. Not that it was that good to begin with. La Resistance wins after Kane attackes Benoit. 6.5/10
The Coach vs. Eugene- Why is the coach in a ppv? He can't wrestle and is as annoying as ever. He gets his Candya** whipped by Eugene. Strange moment when coach called down a chick with cookies and milk. No reason whatsoever. Eugene wins in a slightly funny yet dumb match. 7.5/10
Randy Orton vs. Shelton Benjamin- this match was pretty good, once you get past the fact that Ric Flair tried to help Randy cheat to win again!! Lawler kept saying how great of a champion Randy is by kicking out of all these near falls. How about Shelton who is actually doing all the great moves? It would have been great if Shelton could have pinned Randy while giving Flair the figure four leg lock. Randy wins though. 8/10
Fatal Four way match for womens title- In my opinion I just don't like to watch womens matches, but when four of the sexiest divas from Raw are all in one match well thats just a sacrifice I am forced to take. The match was actually fast paced and trish wins to become the first ever five time womens champion. 7/10
Tyson Tomko vs. Chris Jericho- an okay filler. This match was made because christian was injured and Chris had to be in the ppv. Tomko was okay, but this problem solver thing is just plain weird. Chris Jericho wins. 7.5/10
Chris Benoit vs. kane- Now even though chris' first match was a dud, this title match was a lot better. Kane is actually forced to the mat several times instead of trying to power out and tossing Chris around the ring. Benoit gets the pin after trying ot attach the crossface and then rolling Kane over for the pin. 9/10
Hell in a cell: Triple H vs. Shawn Michales- Ever since Triple H hit Shawn in the back with a sledgehammer back at summerslam 2002 i knew this match would happen, i just didn't know when. Now two years later my prediction came true and it didn't dissapoint. This match was almost 50 minutes long and even though no one escaped the cell, it was still a good match. The best moment was when Shawn dropped the elbow on Triple H through a table. A ladder, table, several chairs, the steel steps, and the sledgehammer were added together to create a great match. Triple H wins after 3 pedigrees. Both men got a standing ovation and they both deserved it. 10/10
This was good, the hell in the cell is worth it alone, but the world title match was good also and the fatal four way womens match was great just to look at, wink-wink! buy this DVD.
