10 Bloodiest Wrestling Matches Ever Broadcast
5. WWE Taboo Tuesday 2005: Triple H vs. Ric Flair
The problem with trying to pick a Ric Flair match featuring copious bleeding is that its very much like picking your favourite song by your favourite band: itll change from day to day, and youll never be sure you picked the right one. That being the case, Ive gone for this overlooked gem: a 2005 WWE steel cage match between The Nature Boy and Triple H. Its my pick for two major reasons aside from the gnarly amounts of claret splashed all over the place. Firstly, its a WWE production, so video quality is excellent (as opposed to many of the NWA matches that Flair bladed in, which dont represent nearly as well). Secondly, it features the greatest low blow spot of all time, where babyface Flair doesnt just junk-punch Hunter, but grabs himself a bloody handful and squeezes, delivering chop after chop while still holding onto his Game. Triple H sells it like Flairs rammed his King Of Kings into a blender, and hes such an unremitting d*ckweasel that you cant help but cheer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPE4s01wnlQ The blood comes after Flairs rammed face first into the cage for the first time, and the camera lingers on Triple H for long enough afterwards that you can be fairly sure its a blade of course, Flair opens up if he blinks really hard, so maybe he just used a fingernail on one of those scars on his forehead, who knows?
