Another star guilty ofbleeding so much thatit becomes not just uncomfortable to watch, but dangerous as well. After all, foreign blood is one of the most dangerous and infectious substances in the world, and it's been well documented how excessive bleeding severely increases the risk of wrestlers contracting hepatitis or HIV.

For that reason, when a superstar cuts too deep, for the amount of risk that it creates, not just for their fellow competitors, but also ringside officials and fans that could be splashed, they have to be regarded as terrible bladers, no matter how cool it looks for the audience watching at home.

Even though Cena's legacy will probably be intrinsically tied to the PG-era, being the face of WWElong after intentional bleeding was outlawed by the company, he's still spilled a lot of blood in his time. At Judgment Day 2005, the leader of the Cenation was facing off against JBL in an I Quit match for Cena's WWE Title.

After JBL gives Cena a hellacious chairshot to the head, the camera pans away and he blades, but he does a terrible job of it. Either he bladed far too deep or nicked a vein, because as the match continues Cena gets bloodier and bloodier until the match is near unwatchable.

It's a subjective opinion, and a lot of fans credit this positively for being one of Cena's most intense matches, but the effect of seeing thick layers of blood completely cover the champ's face and chest was gruesome to the point of detracting from the match.
