5 Ups And 4 Downs From WWE King Of The Ring 2015

2. There Will Be Blood

As frustrating as the omnipresent angle advancement between Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus was, their brawl certainly fired up the crowd. However, it€™s likely that the reaction was amplified once the two were separated and it became apparent that Sheamus was bleeding from above the eye. That one hardway injury made a simple pull-apart brawl that much hotter in fans€™ eyes. It looked like they legitimately hated each other so much that Ziggler bloodied Sheamus€™ face. To his credit, Sheamus simply took the blood and wiped it on his chest, which was an awesome visual that we just don€™t get to see in WWE anymore.And that€™s the issue here: It€™s understandable why WWE did away with the bladejobs. They are dangerous, unhygienic and not something a PG company can allow in 2015. But seeing it happen here and in the main event at WrestleMania XXXI remind fans of the impact blood can have on a feud. Imagine if Seth Rollins bloodied Randy Orton at Extreme Rules after beating him. The image of a bloody Orton staggering to his feet after losing and swearing revenge would gear fans up more for a Payback rematch. Obviously, blood can€™t show up nearly as often (if at all), but at least WWE cameras didn€™t pull back to arena shots to hide the blood.
