Is there blading, cutting yourself on purpose, in professional wrestling?

I think the amount of actual blood being shed has significantly been reduced due to health reasons. Most 'blood' that is seen in wrestling is due to 'blood capsules' (fake blood). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_slang Apr 03 08, 4:25 PM

Blading is most often done by the wrestler himself but there has been occasions where a manager/valet would do it for the wrestler. When done "properly" it can be effective but improperly it can be dangerous. The most infamous blading incident is the "Mass Transit" incident that occured when New Jack bladed Erich Kulas (17 years old) in ECW. Kulas was a replacement in that match wrestling as Mass Transit. http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/information/dictionary.html Apr 03 08, 4:29 PM

Yes, if you watched the show, "Exposed! Pro Wrestling's Greatest Secrets". It would show how the referee gave one of the wrestlers a small blade to cut him/herself with a blade to fake blood. If the person was not cut right, then it would be fatal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposed%21_Pro_Wrestling%27s_Greatest_Secrets Apr 03 08, 10:41 PM
