I post a gif of the ref handing Roman a blade to pass to Brock, and people still think it was hardway?

I believe Meltzer said that the blade dulled and snapped when Brock tried to use it to he had to do it hardway.

Meltzer said it was hardway since WWE would have to fine Brock if they knew he'd bladed, and with all the cameras they have around they'd have known. Though he did say just because WWE said it wasn't doesn't mean it wasn't.

Also that gif wasn't very conclusive - it was probably just the ref checking on Roman

Is this like how they'd have to suspend Orton if he failed another Wellness?

Looking at it, the ref only sticks two fingers into Roman's palm and unless a) the blade is really loving small and is borderline invisible between two fingers and b) Roman is cool with blindly squeezing a sharp object into his hand and possibly a vein, then I think he's just checking.

Blades from these are pretty small/thin. Had an inmate who would pry these apart, use the blade to cut some scar tissue on the back of their hand in a "suicide attempt", and get sent to the Hole for suicide watch. Usually around the inmate canteen (store) time and others were meaning to collect on ramen and hohos he owed.

Austin talked about taking a safety razor blade and breaking it into eighths, while Ric Flair would somehow make his even smaller. Blades are not big, mate.

I didn't see a blade. Also please explain when and how Brock bladed himself without opening up a gigantic gash from doing it too fast.

EDIT: Lesnar has his gloves off by the time they do the spot, so he wasn't hiding it there. If Reigns gave it to him, where was it? It's not in his right hand because he's holding that hand open, then grabs Reign's hair with that hand. His left hand doesn't even come near his head so he wasn't holding it there. Maybe he's telekinetic and held it in the air? :iiam:

Later in that match, Chuck yelled "YOU'LL NEVER CUM AGAIN" and dropped an invisible grenade down Reynolds' pants. Also, the towel he used to clean the imaginary jizz up played into the rest of the match AND the following one.

It was a weird night.

I hope it wasn't a blade job. Brock Lesnar is an excellent professional wrestler, and knows how to take a safe bump into the ringpost, so the alternative is that he intentionally nutted it so hard it bust his forehead open, and I would love to believe that's true.

Isn't it possible that Roman is the one that gigs him? Bret gigged Austin at 13, Austin didn't do it himself. I didn't see a good time for Roman to do it though.

Having other people blade you is pretty rare as far as I know. Bret Hart, 15 year veteran, is someone I'd probably trust to gig me. Big Green Monster Roman Reigns not so much.

It's not impossible but it's less likely than Brock slyly blading himself, or doing it hardway

This has to be one of the least interesting wrestling conspiracy theories ever during a time period where there's tons of interesting ones. He bled, it was cool, does it really matter what more there is to it than that

I wouldn't call it a conspiracy theory, just an interesting discussion because it's so rare to have blood in matches these days and when it does show up its always "oh yeah he caught the table there" and not "wait how did he gently caress his face up?"

Does it matter, like in terms of someone's enjoyment of the match? Probably not. But this sort of thing is interesting in general. To me, anyway, I might be projecting. But I rewatched the WMXX main event a billion times and one of the most fascinating things is watching when Shawn pulls his blade out of his wrist tape and how long he holds on to it and how much poo poo he does with blade in hand.

I thought one of the shithead indie hazing rituals was generously offering to cover gigging duties before taking liberties on new guys. Paying dues, etc. Though given that neither Reigns nor Lesnar have even sniffed the indies, I guess it's possible.

A guy I know was claiming that Roman was legit shooting on Lesnar and I'd hope no one would be so stupid as to actually try that

Uh after seeing Lesnar get hit in real life I'd say that no he would probably really like if he wasn't hit hard often. Wanting to get stiffed is either for tough guy 50s-90s weirdos who want to feel and be treated like they're fighters and puro/indy/joshi people who don't know any other way

In Bret Hart's book he talks about a very young Bulldog allowing Dynamite to gig him. It ended exactly as you might expect.

Obviously I don't know whose idea it was, but at some stage someone must have realised that the only way this match wouldn't look ridiculous is if they both legitimately got the poo poo beat out of them. That comeback from Reigns without blood would have died on it's arse. It's kind of amazing how much they've built upLesnar in that nobody will buy him getting hurt short of someone driving a truck into him. And if they paid me as much as Lesnar I'd have no problem putting myself through that once or twice a year.

Pretty much.

In case anyone doesn't know the story, Bulldog had never bladed before so asked Dynamite to do it for him. When the moment came Bulldog got cold feet and decided he didn't want to go through with it. Dynamite decided he'd gig him anyway. Bulldog panicked and struggled, and ended up being cut to the bone right across his forehead.

Dynamite Kid was a sociopathic piece of poo poo.
