n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Ella-May O'Brien
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

So as it turns out, I found out that Leon White AKA Vader died right before I watched this, kind of eerie considering that the WWF found out that Pillman died just before the PPV aired. With that in mind, let's get to the card.1st Match: The Road Warriors vs The Nation of Domination, 3-on-2 Handicap match. The match is an OK opener, if anything it did a good job of developing Rock's heel persona, and The Road Warriors helped keep the crowd engaged. Simmons comes out and costs LOD the match, which hurts the Nation, because they had the numbers advantage, and still needed to cheat to win. Rating: 3/52nd Match: Max Mini and Nova vs Tarantula and Mosaic. As stated before , I'm not a fan of these matches, but this was thrown on the card to compensate for Pillman's death. The match exists, but given the circumstances, I won't count it against the show. Rating: None3rd Match: The Headbangers vs The Godwinns, WWF Tag Team Championships. The match is OK, but nothing special. The Headbangers are slightly over, but there are a few noticeable botches that hurt the match. I thought the heel Godwinns winning was a nice touch. Rating: 3/54th Match: Owen Hart vs Faarooq, WWF Intercontinental Championship. Owen looks distressed, which makes sense, his friend just died, and Austin comes out to do commentary. The problem with this match is that Austin on commentary is better the the two guys in the ring. The match revolves around Austin, more than the belt. Speaking of which, Austin nails Simmons with the belt, having Owen win. Kind of a pointless victory. Rating: 2/55th Match: Los Boricuas vs DOA. This is an 8-man Tag match, so there's a better flow than their last few brawls. Pretty basic, but OK for the time they're given. Rating: 3/56th Match: Bret Hart and The British Bulldog vs The Patriot and Vader. This is a Flag match, with the added stipulation that the match can end with pinfall or submission. So what's the point of the flags? I'm guessing they added that to help out Vader, but it brings the match to a crawl. The same way a cage match can grind to a halt, so does this. 3 out of the 4 guys involved are talented, the gimmick just kills the pace of the match, and it winds up boring. Rating: 1.5/57th Match: Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker, Hell in a Cell. This is the first Hell in a Cell match, so it's pace is more deliberate, as they wanted to show what it was capable of. Shawn gets destroyed here, with Taker picking him apart for almost the whole match. I liked the spot of Shawn falling from the top, and it also has the debut of Kane, with Vince uttering the famous, "That's gotta be Kane!" line. It helped Kane as a debut, it helped Taker as a face, and it helped Shawn as a heel. There would be better Cell matches to come, but this is a good start. Rating: 4/5Final Rating: 6 out of 10. The main event is good, the rest of the card not so much. I feel like Pillman's death also hurt the show, because some matches feel scrambled together to compensate.R.I.P. Brian Pillman&R.I.P. Vader

Live from St Louis, MIAttendance 21,151Your commentators are Vince McMahon, Jim Ross & Jerry LawlerHandicapped MatchRocky Maivia, Kama Mustafa & D'Lo Brown Vs The Legion of DoomRocky Maivia gets the pin for his team after a Rock Bottom on Hawk. This was a decent way to start the show. It had solid energy, the crowd was red hot, and it had enough excitement to keep you pleased. Rocky getting the win was huge.**1/2 out of 5There is a midget match as well. It's a mess from start to finish. That's all I'm gonna sayTag Team TitlesThe Headbangers (C) Vs The GodwinnsThe Godwinns win the title. This was a pretty boring affair with a sloppy finish. The Headbangers were just gaining some steam as champions. The Godwinns would have a very short reign (Thank god!) *1/2 out of 5Intercontinental TitleFarooq Vs Owen HartSteve Austin comes out and hilariously bugs the announcers while taking shots at Owen Hart. Owen wins after Austin costs Farooq the match. Austin's antics dominated this match. Nobody really had a vested interest in this one. Everyone was wanting to see what Austin would do. *1/4 out of 5Los Boricuas Vs The Disciples of Apocalypse. The DOA wins. This was one boring match. The crowd was completely dead for this one and rightfully so. It was nothing but clotheslines, punching, kicking, and all the boring stuff you could think of. * out of 5Flag MatchBret Hart & The British Bulldog Vs Vader & The PatriotBret and the Bulldog win. This was a very inconsistent match that was boring at times and exciting at others. The Patriot had lost all of his heat at this point and Vader was just kind of floundering. It was hard to take them seriously as threats.** out of 5Hell in a Cell Shawn Michaels Vs The UndertakerKane makes his legendary WWF debut and tombstones The Undertaker. Shawn crawls over and pins The Undertaker to win the match. This is the one of (If not the greatest) greatest Hell in a Cell matches in history. It was the first one ever and boy did it deliver. This match had everything. Those paying to see Shawn get his ass kicked in extreme fashion got more than their money's worth. Shawn's beatdown is only beaten by Mick Foley's. Shawn dangling from the cage, only to fall off through the table is unforgettable I can't forget Kane's debut either. It remains one of the finest debuts ever. It would kickstart a classic feud between The Undertaker and Kane. This is simply, classic stuff.***** out of 5This would be a forgettable show, if not for the main event and Kane's debut. It really is a one match show. Because of the main event and Kane's debut, this PPV is required viewing. As a whole, the PPV is forgettable.6/10

In Your House:Bad Blood was an awesome event from a time when the WWF was at it's best. The matches were great throughout particularly the main event.The main event pitted Shawn Michaels VS The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match. The rules were quite simple-anything goes and the wrestler literally had to put his opponent down for the count. The match was quite shocking at the time. Obviously, since this match took place there have been equally shocking matches but back in October 1997 this was big stuff. Michaels and Undertaker hammered into each other and did not let up...plus we got to see the debut of Kane, a wrestler who five years later retains his mystique.The rest of the matches were brilliant as well particularly one match that pitted the late British Bulldog and Bret Hart against the big but agile Vader and the masked Patriot.Getting back to the main event, I believe few wrestling main events have topped this match since it was broadcast.
