8 Ridiculous Fines WWE Gave Wrestlers

3. Paid Blade Not Fair To Flair

By the end of WrestleMania VIII, the canvas in Indiana's Hoosier Dome was sanguine-soaked, thanks to the combined phlebotomy of Ric Flair and Bret Hart in their stellar matches opposite Roddy Piper and Ric Flair respectively.

At the time, bloodletting via the blade was a strict no-no in WWE. The Nature Boy entirely failed to hide his route to the red, and in accordance with company policy, received a hefty levy for his transgression. What makes Flair's fine so ridiculous is that Hart, who likewise drew colour through his own volition on the same night, entirely avoided reprisals. So expertly had The Hitman disguised his blade job that he was able to convince employers that his crimson covering had been entirely accidental. Truly, the best ever.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
