10 Random Acts Of Wrestling Violence You Totally Forgot About
3. Bloody Hell
Steve Corino's Hardcore Heaven battering at the fists and feet of Yoshihiro Tajiri could be included in full for this particular list, if only because some of the most memorable moments from ECW history have been lost to the WWE Network archives, but one spot in particular remains a hidden gem in this bloody battle.
'The Old School Hero' - who had been an obnoxious bigoted pr*ck to his former henchman throughout the build - nearly gets his face kicked clean off after succumbing to the poise and power of the bloodthirsty 'Japanese Buzzsaw'.
It's must-see stuff, if you can cope with it. Soaked - to the point where the splash of his blood can be heard on impact as if the move was being performed in a swimming pool - in claret, the exhausted Corino is slumped atop a table when Tajiri swings the leg. Joey Styles' "and that's it!" call is magnificent - commentators can't ever literally say a wrestler has been killed, but this might as well have been the legendary pitchman narrating his time of death.
