Blading (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

In professional wrestling, blading is the practice of cutting oneself to provoke bleeding.[1] It is also known as juicing, gigging, or drawing color.[1] Similarly, a blade is an object used for blading, and a bladejob is a specific act of blading. The blood in pro wrestling is almost never, as often suspected, theatrical makeup, but actual blood, and the scars borne by longtime pro wrestlers are real ones.[2] The act is usually done a good length into the match as the blood will mix with the flowing sweat to make the wound look like much more blood is flowing from it than there actually is.

Blading has been common in wrestling for about 80 years. fake blood will be used it backstage taped parts of the show where it can be applied without anyone noticing, in front of a crowd it's none with a razor blade, usually within the hairline or the top of the forehead where the scars won't be so noticeable. Of course, there are exceptions, see Steve Corino. Lots of blood capsules in that mans past.

Dan Rafael of ESPN.com talked about this in his blog yesterday, and I chuckled when I read this line.

"If Mayweather is cool with fighting a mountain of a man like Show, why does he keep running from a man his own size, Miguel Cotto?"

I hope he stays there. That's where he belongs where it's cool being fake.
