Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Why would they book a main event that's almost guaranteeing a bloodbath in a state that you can't deliver said bloodbath in? A chain match without blood is like a Ric Flair match without chops. It just doesn't happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haVoc 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Is it that you can't have blood or just a heavy fine if you do? I mean, if Taker blades is he going to jail or will Vince just have to pay $1000 fine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 17, 2003 How much is the blood fine really? If it's the same amount as the other one, no worries then. Can they get away from it if they don't do the bloodbath IN the arena and just have a long brawl backstage? Wait Nope...damn suspended Chain... Seriously why couldn't they just do a straight Up match or at least a CHAIN MATCH in the vein of a Strap match or dog collar match? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 The Maryland State Athletic Commission could do a lot more then fine them, as Ballz Mahoney cannot compete in a pro wrestling event there because he's banned from the state for life for bleeding.

Austin3164life 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 The name "Dog Collar Match" is rediculous in itself. I certainly wouldn't buy an event to see that, and I'm sure most casual fans won't either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 As far as I know, the Maryland State Athletic commission stops the match immediately when someone bleeds. I think they then determine what you're penalty is when they see if its blading or hardway. Which leads me to believe that we might we some screwjob finish on Sunday with the blood.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 According to the rules, if I remember right, you can't bleed in a match unless it was unintentional. In the case of the Taker/Brock match, that'll be a fine cause it's a billed gimmick match and no one will believe you cut your head with a chain by accident. The WWE is already $7000 in the hole on fines. Who knows what else they will add onto that fine list. What a stupid, stupid company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 I have no doubt that Taker/Brock will be at least a watchable, somewhat entertaining brawl. I watched the HIAC match from last year between those two on Thursday (my first time seeing it, mind you), and I liked it. No ***** classic, probably right around *** (if that), but I liked it.
