Your first bloodletting

From DVD #81:

 

The Great Muta vs Hiro Hase- 9/90-NEW JAPAN: (RIPPA)-When Dean gave me this tape, I remember him looking at the match list and going "Hey, Muta/Hase. I bet that has a lot of blood." Guess what. IT DOES. There is about five minutes of nondescript wrestling before Hase gets posted and boy oh boy, does he hit an artery or something. He looks like he is literally sweating blood and Muta gets so much on himself that you think that he is bleeding too. Watch the disturbing sight of Muta spitting out pieces of Hase's flesh. Yummy. It gets to the point that Hase has his best Michael Crawford Phantom of the Opera impression going. Just when you realize that this might be the worst blade job you have ever seen you remember that Muta tops it in one of their rematches by doing the blade job that all other blade jobs are measured up to. A really crappy ending as Muta gets DQ for blowing mist into Hase's face (green is the color of choice). He also beats the ref and the attendants with a stretcher and then leaves. Not the best ending. Not the best match. But boy there was a lot of blood.

But I digress, this is the WWF folder after all.  Remembering that Ron Bass/Beefcake angle is so d@mn creepy, as I was a huge Beefcake mark, being the little 8 year old freak that I was.  I miss stuff like that, I really do.

Man, back when the old UWF used to swing throug Texas prior to Crockett purchasing it, my sister took me to a card featuring Ted DiBiase (before Million Dollar Man) vs. One Man Gang as the main event. Man I was still in grade school and sure enough, DiBiase bleeds lkike a pig. Jim Ross was the announcer and let me get a picture of the championship belt but was pretty rude about it. So whilr Dibiase's blood is just pouring on the concrete, I grab a handful of napkins and soaked his blood up. I still have it in an old scrapbook somewhere.

I saw Terry Funk wrestling at a local indy in Northwest Indiana a couple of years back and Funk bled like only he can.  Greatest part was all the little kids rubbing their 8x10 glossies of the Funker in puddles of his own blood.  True depravity.  It was great.

Well I started really following the WWF right around WM 7 (didn't see the PPV, but I saw pics of Hogan bleeding in WWF Mag). I think that the 1st time I remember seeing blood in the WWF was when Shawn Michaels threw Marty Jannetty through the Barber Shop window, and after that was the loser leaves match between Flair and Perfect from Raw in 93. My favorite bladejobs are between HBK's at Badd Blood and Austin's at WM 13.

Man oh man. I remember Andre vs. Duggan, when duggan was bleeding from the mouth, then he got his 2X4 and fuckin blasted Andre with it. I think that was the first time I saw blood. And of course, the Ron Bass-Beefcake incident. That scarred me for a long time cuz I was like 4 and it was pretty vicious shit at the time. Good stuff.

the muta blad job was a beauty to behold.  Hase went after him with a spike, it was great.  He was bleeding heavily enough that when he laid the side of his face against Hase he litterly left his imprint in blood.

 

Muta's hair was standing in punk spikes by the end with it being so thick with blood running and congealing.  The ring at the end looked like a warzone.

 

Best thing about it, was that it wasn't technically a 'hardcore' match.  They just beat the living fuck out and cut deep.

Like many here, the first one that comes to mind is the Ron Bass/Brutus Beefcake incident from WWF Superstars (which indirectly led to Ultimate Warrior winning the IC title from Honky at SummerSlam). I was like, "holy shit, he's really cutting him open!!"

I was gonna say Beefcake/Bass as well, but everyone beat me to it!  I remember that jolting me when I was about 8 or 9.  Ron Bass's one great contribution to wrestling!  

 

Did Beefer ever get the blowoff win against Bass?  

 

I haven't seen the Muta stuff so I can't comment.  The Austin at WM and Michaels HIAC blade jobs are a bit too obvious.  Therefore, the best blade job I have seen is Steve Corino vs. Tajiri at Hardcore Heaven 2000.  One of the best extended squashes I have ever seen as well.  Just vicious.  Corino's hair was soaked in blood, and Tajiri just NAILS him with a kick in the corner, sending Corino's blood flying into the camera!  

 

Another cool blade job I haven't seen was Kerry Von Erich's against Lawler in 88 at the AWA PPV.  I've seen a few pics of it though, gruesome.
