Blading is one thing...blood can add to the intensity of a grudge match...
But when I saw a guy deliberately get cut by a knife in the arm for a stupid spot (deeper than planned, no less), I was done with it. And like was said above, most "hardcore matches" usually involve shytty wrestling and spot-fests which make no sense. Also, light tubes are fukking retarded.
At least ECW still had storylines to go with the occasional hardcore stuff...although since I'm not 14 anymore, I think New Jack was just stupid. (this just reminded me of Mass Transit, too

)
