Hey guys, now as you know:

4 weeks from tonight, TNA will present Victory Road LIVE from H-Town also known as Houston, TX

and on that night, Houston's own Booker T. will challenge Samoa Joe for the coveted TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

But speaking of H-Town and PPV, let us take you back to 5 years ago today:

Sunday June 15, 2003 WWE presents, the 1st ever RAW Brand Only PPV

Bad Blood

On that night, it was Houston's own Booker T. challenging future NWA World Heavyweight Champion Christian Cage for the WWE I-C Heavyweight Championship.

On that night, Booker T. def. Christian Cage, but b/c of a DQ, Cage was still the champ when he hit the referee w/the I-C Belt, thus getting himself Disqualified on purpose.

also on that same night

Stone Cold and Eric Bischoff has their Redneck Triathelon

Goldberg def. Chris Jericho

Ric Flair def. Shawn Michaels thanks to RKO's interference

Christopher Nowinski & Rodney Mack def. The Dudley Boyz

Scott Steiner def. Test to win Stacy Keibler's Managerial Services

Triple H de. Kevin Nash to retain the World Heavyweight Championship inside Hell in a Cell
Mick Foley was the Special Guest Referee

But it was also a history making moment when La Resistance def. Kane & RVD to become the WWE World Tag Team Champions for the very 1st time.

and it was a history making moment b/c Renee Dupree of La Resistance made history becoming the youngest World Tag Team Champion @ the age of 19 1/2 thus making him, the youngest champion in the history of the WWE.

and that's your look @ an event that is 5 years in the making:

WWE Bad Blood 2003 the 1st ever RAW Brand Only PPV LIVE from Houston

and Renee Dupree wins the WWE World Tag Team Championship @ the age of 19 1/2

Hi Bubba here, thanks for the lookback. A lot has changed since then.

That's right Bubba.

Who would've thought that 5 years later

The World Heavyweight Championship would be on SD! and that Edge would end up holding the belt.

Rhodes & Holly would hold the traditional WWE World Tag Team Championship

Chris Jericho who lost to Goldberg would end up holding the I-C Belt for an 8th time.

and plus, Booker T. and Christian Cage would end up in TNA.

My oh my, times have certainly changed.
