Abby and the Original Sheik were the kings of blading. Have you ever seen the shoot where he sticks a quarter in one of his scars? Pretty gritty stuff.

Pretty much anyone who worked with Abby or the Sheik regularly had a pretty scarred up head. Colon, Brody, Dusty Rhodes.

Most of the guys from the 70's got colour. The AIDS scare in the 80's, plus the WWF trying to put out a more kid friendly product, put a stop to that.

Matt Bourne was a great bleeder. We saw him just butcher himself at a show at an Indian Casino a few year ago. There was a couple of moms with their kids (boys and girls from 5ish to maybe 12ish) sitting in front of us yukking it up through the whole night about how fake it all was. When Matty did the gig, he was turned so we could see him do it. When the trickle started, the moms in front of us went on about fake blood. Once it got opened up a little more the hardway, it started kind of pumping out at every heartbeat. The moms in front of us got kind of quiet. Finally, one turned around and asked us if the blood was fake. We explained to her what was happening. She got a little green after that. Didn't get any pics of her tits, tho.
