10 Most Blatantly Obvious Blade Jobs In Wrestling History

6. Triple H

Here's another example of an obvious blade job resulting from a wrestler blading before the head shot as opposed to after. The above video is a Triple Threat match between Triple H, Edge and John Cena at Backlash 2006. At 17:20, Edge goes outside the ring to attack Triple H, who suspiciously has his right hand clenched into a fist (hiding a blade there, Paul?). At 17:33, we can see Triple H wipe his hair from his forehead, exposing plenty of skin for him to slice, before making the cut at 17:38 not only in plain view of the camera, but also of the fans standing directly above him.They're right there, Trip. Standing over you. Looking right at you! Don't make the cut right in front of them. To make matters worse, he appears to cut a blood vessel, resulting in blood pouring from his head before he even hits the ring post. An obvious blade job? Yes. But the sight of a blood-soaked "Game" locked into Cena's STF (at 21:40) is still a hauntingly awesome visual.
