Blood makes sense in cage/last man standing/I quit kind of matches. I feel like wrestling went a long time with blading just because that was something you do. Guys like Dusty and Flair would blade all the god damn time in matches that didn't call for it at all. Blood should still be a thing in WWE, but only once or twice a year. However, I hate that matches get stopped for any kind of hard way blood. That shit is ridiculous. Especially in gimmick matches where it is super easy to get busted open. Like ladder matches.
HBK and HHH went so far over the top with their blading in 2002-2004.

It's not even a normal crash. You're watching it in slow motion, and you can't look away. Yet the people about to crash know they're about to crash and don't even bother to try turning.

It's hard for me to take Hell in a Cell/Cage matches seriously with no blood.

Blood just works in certain matches, like the ones you listed. I also fell like every Lesnar match should have a little color. It should never be used as much as it was in the early 2000's though

Decided to watch a random WCW PPV. Chose Halloween Havoc 1991. Still dying from laughter.
Bork matches having blood makes sense. Brock is a dangerous man and you're going to get a beating in the ring with him. He's a fighter and he busts people open. HBK trying to lose as many pints as Jesus on a Raw matches doesnt.

Blood still has it's place in the payoff matches to blood feuds. It should only be used a hand full of times a year however.
Not gonna front, I kinda miss chair shots to the head, I know they are dangerous but they look great and modern chair attacks to the stomach and back look dumb

Brian beats Triple H in the opener and the title match becomes a triple threat.
Believe.

Trips first match?
Ahahahahahahahaha
J/k but in seriousness never gonna happen that trips wrestles first
I agree with chair shots, but only on a very limited basis. A match that I think really needed at least one head shot was HIAC at WM28. You can do a head shot and protect yourself. I don't want Foley style chair shots anymore. But a few times a year, a head shot with a chair will get something over as srs bidness more than 30 shots to the back or arm can do.

I was shocked Christian had blood on him
Stro, what you think about Cena's blood match with JBL

I think Undertaker/Triple H opened the second hour in WM28 right? Maybe that's more reasonable.

HHH booking himself curtain jerking Wrestlemania, and losing? Think about that for a minute

Haven't seen it in a long time except for the picture posted the other day. I'll have to watch it to judge it.

"They're not booing, they're Bo-ing!"
that's what I want to watch, some early Halloween Havocs. Which is the one with jake the snake and Stinger?
If you're in a cage, a chamber, an I Quit, Hardcore, Falls Count Anywhere, or get a chair shot to the dome, or even rammed into the post head first, I want blood. I want to bust out my Muta scale dammit. Payoffs and gimmick matches are lacking without it. It ramps up the tension in a match.
JBL and Eddy knew what was up. http://youtu.be/vMzFsKRgBg4
That match changed completely after that chair shot. (Judgment Day 2004 btw)

Not too well versed in anything WCW. Here's hoping the Network changes that.

I took a step back and had a real Come To Jesus meeting with myself.
I looked at this community from afar with fresh eyes and brother, I didn't like what I saw.
This place is full of toolboxes. Toolboxes who post too many threads. Toolboxes that snitch on each other to moderators. Toolboxes who won't stop bellyaching about children's television programming.
Looking down into this thread was akin to looking down into a Port-A-Potty that's been out baking in the hot sun. Looking deep into that blue liquid with brown turds floating around, dirty toilet paper clumps, soupy green diarrhea slop and bubbling, sudsy piss. That's what this thread looks like, drizzling shits. But beneath all the crap and piss, I saw a sapling of hope beginning to grow. A young tree in the form of a couple of cats named Alucard and Spider From Mars. These cats get it, man.
They realized long ago, what I realized these last few days:
It's all about Impact Wrestling.
With the Network launching, this place is going to get a lot shittier, a lot faster. As if there wasn't enough WWE programming in a week already.
I won't kid you. TNA will probably never be seen as anything other than a joke by these a-holes. There's probably going to be more posts this Thursday about their little Internet Wrestling show than Impact.
However, if you want in on this, it's real simple:
Set aside 2 hours a week. That's it, just 2 hours. This Thursday, from 9 pm to 11 pm est. Tune your TV to Spike, kick back and commit to making at least 5 posts about Impact.
This invitation is open to everyone here. You don't need to watch 8+ hours of wrestling a week to fit in here. All it takes is just 2 hours.
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

bean breath, what's your opinion on the "intensity" displayed by Daniel Bryan tonight?

This is hilarious and sad at the same time. Wrestlemania 30 on the whole for me is completely awful. I wish the crowd would walk out on the main event at wrestlemania that would leave batista and orton wrestling in an empty stadium. It is the only possible enjoyment I could get out of wrestlemania. The reaction from the commentators and Vince would be worth sitting through the entire awful card they have planned.

So if CM Punk comes pack next week and is put in the title match instead of Bryan how big of a scumbag is Punk?

Bean gets it. Impact is on for two hours a week, everyone is involved in a story, and Trixie Carter is hot.
Impact never says die!
Can't wait for their Wressle-1 show!

I fell asleep during the Christian-Sheamus match. I think I only heard the commentary during Daniel Bryan's stuff. Like JBL saying he likes him but then saying he doesn't and calling him a garden gnome.
I'm just overwhelmed by WWE at the moment. It used to be that you just needed to watch 2 hours to be well informed and get all the inside jokes and stuff mentioned in this thread. Now guys here are watching the pre and post shows, NXT, Twitter, listening to effing Mike Sempervive.
I want to go back to watching 2 hours of wrestling a week. I'm going to give this a shot and suckle on Alucard's titty and absorb all his TNA knowledge.

Can I count on you two to watch and post about Impact this week?

There's a better chance of Stro taking back every single negative thing he's said about Konnan than there is of me watching Impact. And you can believe that, playa.
Punk and Batista in a match would end up being a big Gracie Jiu Jitsu commercial, but instead of advertising it, it would prove how it is ruining wrestlers and making them less fun to watch.
