10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 8 Facts
3. Ric Flair Was Heavily Fined For Blading
The key to Hart's blade job is that it was discreet. Flair's gusher was far from it.
Flair and Macho Man Randy Savage had also secretly decided to add blood to their championship bout. The big moment came with Flair out on the floor, and Savage perched on the top rope. Savage flew off with his patented double ax handle, sending Flair head first into the security railing.
There, it becomes blatantly obvious what Flair is doing when he pulls one hand toward his forehead. "The Nature Boy" almost looked like Carrie on prom night by match's end, and an irate McMahon fined Flair several thousand dollars for the infraction. Some accounts of the story go as far as to claim that Flair was nearly fired.
