10 Most Blatantly Obvious Blade Jobs In Wrestling History

1. Captain Lou Albano

Though all of the blade jobs on this list were blatant, we can all agree the performers who did the cutting were at least trying to be discreet. Sure they failed, but the effort was there. (Even Angle would have at least cupped the blade in his hand if he knew they were going to cut to a close-up of his face.) The same cannot be said for Captain Lou Albano. This is a man who didn't give a damn about discretion. When he wanted to blade, he was going to blade, and it didn't matter who was watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCds_xmB8lY To see Albano at work, go to 3:50 in the above clip. Do you see him rubbing his thumb across his forehead after taking a punch from Jimmy Snuka? If yes, then you see to what extent Captain Lou Albano cares about discretion. That's right. The man has a razor blade taped to his thumb and is blading for all to see. Want to see more? Then skip to 5:58 and enjoy. But if you want to see the holy grail of blatantly obvious blade jobs, then skip to 4:00 in the clip below. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xphwwo_wwe-universal-fr-lou-albano-vs-arnold-skaaland_sport Ladies and gentleman, it doesn't get any better than this.

Yes, my last name is pronounced exactly as it's spelled. Just like "going to the store". ;) I am an aspiring writer currently working on my first novel, which is GOING to be awesome once it's published. (See what I did there?) I love reading, am a HUGE film buff (who welcomes all trivia challenges), and never miss a New York Giants football game. I'm an open book so if there is anything else you'd like to know about me, just ask.
