WWE legend Ric Flair wants male wrestlers to bleed more in certain situations though.

Ric Flair has told listeners tuning into his 'To Be The Man' podcast that he doesn't think female wrestlers should ever bleed during matches. Of course, the 'Nature Boy' (speaking during a "Controversial Topics" episode of his pod) was specifically talking about blading more than accidental bloodshed.

The outspoken WWE legend added that he "certainly wouldn't want to see" his daughter Charlotte bleeding into a company ring, accidental or otherwise. In fact, Ric reckons such tactics should be exclusively kept aside for some of the male bouts on the card.

WWE don't really let workers carve up their foreheads these days though, so Flair's pitch kinda falls flat. He's unhappy about that, because he reckons it takes a way a lot of the drama from top gimmick bouts inside steel cages, Hell In A Cell etc.

Continuing, Ric revealed that he doesn't even like seeing women work cage matches either. He must've had a seriously tough time with Charlotte's iconic showpiece opposite Sasha Banks back at HIAC 2016 then, and the women's Elimination Chamber stuff WWE has presented since.

Naturally, Flair's words probably won't go over well with some wrestling fans.
