10 Most Blatantly Obvious Blade Jobs In Wrestling History

9. Ric Flair - WrestleMania 8

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5us2e_wrestlemania-viii-ric-flair-vs-rand_sport Ric Flair is one of the most respected names in the history of wrestling. He is recognized as a 16-time world champion (though Flair himself says that number is actually 21) and is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame. He is known for taking great bumps, his intense promos and interviews, and for the occasional blading that turns his bleached blond hair to crimson red. It€™s not very often that fans will catch €œThe Nature Boy€ in the act of blading. But there was one incident that was tough to miss. Wrestlemania08machomanvyn1 Sixteen minutes into his WWF Championship match with €œMacho Man€ Randy Savage at Wrestlemania VIII, Flair is clotheslined to the outside. Savage then climbs to the top rope and hits Flair with a double axe handle to the head. Flair seems to be slightly out of position for the move as he is forced to literally throw himself face-first into the guardrail. The blade job comes at 16:33 when Flair is on his knees and blatantly swiping his right hand across his forehead. Nice try, Naitch. We still love ya though.

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.
