Why is blading still practiced in 2022?

[Max.]

Thats how u know ur booking stinks

when every match is no dq/ blading/ some wack ass stipulation

 

[ForeverLurking]

why the fukk is tay conti blading on a fukkn dynamite show on week one build

whats the story? She fukkn stinks in the ring

You got me there, I don't know who either of them are & I haven't watched an AEW show yet.
I wasn't caping for blading all the time (that's stupid), but there is a time & place for it that can make matches more memorable & impactful (Austin's bloody face before passing out in the sharpshooter). If your issue is with how shyttily they use blading, I can agree with that.

From 2003 to 2018…… wrestling really has been ruined and further proof it was left in the wrong hands

Wrestling NEEDS violence

Almost as if blading hides the reality that most matches are not moving the crowd nowadays

There was even a time where ECW tone down the blade jobs in favor of brutality and story telling elements. When a wrestler bled, it was rhyme and reason not because "JUST BLEED!!"

But some wrestling fans are pussies and "Vince drones" because heavens forbid we want wrestlers to not have foreheads like mushy loaves of bread, another Benoit situation, and actually want wrestlers to put on a match with some sort of athletics.

Yet fukk them wrestlers, BLEED AND DIE MOTHERfukkERS

I mean I don’t think every wrestling show should be a blood bath but a lil blood is fine here and there, makes no sense when guys get hit in the face with steel steps or monitors or any other objects and don’t bleed.

They low key phased out the First Blood Match and didn't think anyone would notice it.

First blood matches were fukkery prone . Like the Flair/Hogan one where Flair couldn't contain himself in 30 seconds and ended up blading. A fan threw toilet paper in the ring while the ref was in a coma for 20 minutes

 

[Prince Akeem]

You don't need blood to sell a match. AEW goes overboard with it. Who are you trying to appeal to?

And there it is. Its not really about blood isn't it?

You nikkas ain't low.

In the simplest explanation possible, it was a part of pro wrestling when I first started watching and fell in love with it (1988) and so without it doesn't quite feel like the wrestling I enjoy.
