The WWE is bringing back the Bad Blood pay-per-view after retiring it for 13 years.Bad Blood has a special place in wrestling history. The first show, back when the WWE was still using the "In Your House" branding for their pay-per-view in mid '90s, marked the introduction of one of the most influential matches in WWE history: Hell in a Cell.With the return of Bad Blood, what better time to reflect on the best moments from its history. There were only three Bad Blood pay-per-views in total, but they feature some incredibly memorable moments, and two absolute classic matches. 

The "Redneck Triathlon"

Stone Cold and Eric Bischoff were an unlikely duo, serving as co-GMs of RAW. The 2003 Bad Blood pay-per-view featured them competing in a "redneck triathlon" throughout the night.

It began with a belching contest, featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin guzzling brews and bleching his way to a victory in the first event. The second contest, deemed a pie-eating contest, was certainly not for the young viewers.

Bischoff had no choice but to let Mae Young hit him with a bronco buster while wearing nothing but lingerie. 

Austin, with a 1-0 lead in a best-of-three contest, decided he'd rather sit out. Instead, he hit Mae with a Stone Cold stunner, and everything was tied up at two. The third and final event was a pigpen contest, ending with Bischoff being throw down into the slop while Stone Cold celebrated.

Good wrestling? Not a chance, but the whole thing was one of the weirdest things the WWE has ever committed to during a pay-per-view. 

The Showstoppers

Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels went to battle during Bad Blood in 2003, featuring a full-blown war between two of the biggest showmen in wrestling history. You wouldn't think an aged Flair could be relevant in a wrestling match, but anything is possible with HBK in the mix.

The only proof you need that this was awesome needed is this:

Flair won the match via interference from Randy Orton, but this was a great match from two legendary performers. 

A demon lives

The match this happened during will go down as one of the greatest of all-time, but the shocking debut of Kane amid the chaos deserves it's own space here.

The Undertaker was still one of the most mysterious figures in the WWE, and the legend of his brother Kane dying by burning alive was part of that.

The WWE turned everything upside down when the Big Red Machine made his debut, shocking The Undertaker and everyone watching. Kane, believed to be dead, was alive just as Paul Bearer claimed.

We were all The Undertaker, looking on in disbelief:

We got our first taste of the inferno, during the first Bad Blood, during the first Hell in a Cell match. What more could you ask for?

D-Generate Blood

Michaels and Triple H headlined the final Bad Blood pay-per-view in 2004, squaring off in a Hell in a Cell match for the ages. The rivalry between the two WWE megastars was palpable, with friends turned to enemies to create some serious ... bad blood. 

It was such a strong arc that, despite it being a non-title match, it still was the main event. 

The match was savage, with Triple H taking an early advantage as he targeted Michael's weak back. This was a rare Hell in a Cell match that didn't spill out of the cage, the action staying within the confines of the steel links. 

It wasn't any less chaotic for it, though. Ladders, chairs and steel steps were all used as the two headliners went blow for blow for nearly an hour. Ultimately Triple H would seal the victory after driving Michaels down with multiple pedigrees to finally put him away. 

Both men were so exhausted, neither stood up. The referee could only lift Triple H's limp arm off the mat before letting it drop back down over Michaels:

"47 minutes and 26 seconds of pure hell and carnage," Jim Ross said as The Game's music blared over the arena sound system. An apt description of the incredible match they put on.

Welcome to Hell... in a Cell

It's one of the most iconic match types in WWE history, but it didn't exist in the company until 1997. The inaugural Bad Blood — then spelled Badd Blood — pay-per-view was also the debut of the fan-favorite stipulation, and Michaels and The Undertaker competed in one of the greatest matches in WWE history.

The crafty and speedy Michaels struggled against the power of The Undertaker. This was 1997, with both of them at their physical peaks, and the visceral pummeling they go through is a testament to them as athletes. 

Fans were treated to an all-new match type that pushed both Michaels and The Undertaker to new, creative heights. Their back-and-forth brawl on the top of the cell created one of the most tense moments of their in-ring careers. 

But it was HBK falling from the side of the cell that put this match over the top:

Toss in the fact that Kane debuted only to tombstone his older brother and cost him the match, and this was one of the WWE's finest peaks. The first taste of off-the-cell carnage for WWE fans wasclassic, and certainly not the last.

Upon further review of the soon-to-return pay-per-view, it appears Mr. WrestleMania is also Mr. Bad Blood, with Michaels doing some fine work throughout this event's history.
