WWE's "Blood Ban"

[Sonny Corinthos]

Anybody got an exact date or year that they put this into effect? I don't get why they stop the matches and wipe the blood. I can't remember the last blade job that I saw on tv

From July 2008 onward, due to its TV-PG rating, WWE has not allowed wrestlers to blade themselves. In most cases, any blood coming from the wrestlers are out of storyline and legit. To maintain their TV-PG rating, WWE television programs shift to black-and-white if a wrestler bleeds in front of the camera.[9] However, more recently, WWE has allowed colored viewing of bleeding superstars, for an unknown reason.

According to wikipedia, July 2008 onward. Last time they had a match with a serious amount of blood was this:

Unpopular but I actually like the fact they done away with blading, so archaic and looking at Dusteh's forehead in HD

But, if someone just happens to bleed in a match they just need to let them cook.


Also... Didn't Taker want to steel on Bob Orton for blading while having Hepet*ts C?

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Punk bled in the cage match vs lawler

Yeah Bob had hep


I gotta disagree on the blading tho breh, it's necessary in some spots but when dudes OD on it is gross. Them old heads use to blade just to blade

They should lift the ban for HIAC matches tho it just adds to the presentation

 

[RammerJammer]

They can fukk up the flow of the match by stopping the match due to bleeding, especially in an extreme rules match You don't always need blood to have a good match (Punk/Cena, HBK/Taker)

You can still blade on occasion without looking like that. guys ike Dusty were ikely blading at regular house shows, not just big events.

But, if you look closely at HHH hairline, you can still see the blade job from Royal Rumble match against Foley. Cena has also had several super bloody matches.

I'd be fine with blood capsules tho

Yeah, because Bob didn't actually tell anyone that he had Hepatitis C. Shook hands with everyone involved in the match as well.

Additionally, John Laurinaitis ALSO knew that Bob had Hep C and didn't tell anyone. That didn't go over well with Taker either (and he probably should've been fired over not telling anyone, to be honest).

 

[Momentum]

Abdullah gave mad people Hepatitis too. Never understood why bleeding was necessary. Its extremely stupid healthwise IMO.

 

[BlackAchilles]

I wish they still did it for a few big matches, like HIAC. That in particular doesn't seem the same without the color to me.

What kids are up from 9pm to 11pm?

 

[MushroomX]

I don't like blading as much, but I think Hell in a Cell/Cage Matches and First Blood rules should be the only ones with blood.

It doesnt matter when it airs since any kid can watch any match they like, anytime for just $9.99
