10 Most Blatantly Obvious Blade Jobs In Wrestling History

In his book, "My Life Outside the Ring" he wrote, "I'd wait for a moment when my opponent hit me in the face and I'd spit the razor blade into my hand. Then in one quick swipe, zip! I'd run it across my forehead. I challenge anyone to go back and catch me doing it on camera. I got really good at hitting the same spot, too- in this crease I have just below my hairline. I'd hit that river in a blink of an eye." To give credit where it is due, Hogan is right when he says his cuts were done in one quick swipe. But with regard to his challenge, consider it accepted.
The night was March 24, 1991. The match: Hogan versus Sgt. Slaughter for the WWF Championship. Twenty minutes in, following an unsuccessful pin attempt and with Referee Earl Hebner distracted, Slaughter grabs a chair and wallops Hogan right in the head. Actually, it's more of a tap than an actual wallop, but that's beside the point. Afterward, Hogan rolls over and swipes his right fist across his forehead (zip! blade job!) then drops the razor on the mat for Hebner to pick up at 20:31. Caught ya on camera, Hulkster! Now what do we win? Nothing? Okay. That's cool. Please don't kill us.

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.
