4. Ric Flair Was Almost Fired After WrestleMania 8
WWE.comRic Flair vs. Randy Savage at WrestleMania 8 was arguably one of the most brutal, yet enthralling encounters you're ever likely to see on a WWE pay-per-view. It was gripping, and it was very, very violent - largely due to a hefty amount of blood. At that time, the WWE were incredibly clear on their policies surrounding "blading". You don't do it, it's as simple as that. However, during Flair vs. Savage, cameras directly caught Flair blading himself in front of millions of people watching around the world. The match was so absorbing that almost everyone forgot about the blading, but Vince McMahon apparently was beyond furious. Vince supposedly lost his cool in the locker room afterwards, with Internet stories suggesting that Flair came very close to losing his job. That would have been outrageous, but the rules were clearly there for a reason. As it turned out, Flair was slapped with a pretty hefty fine - but it could have been so much worse for the Nature Boy.
