#2 Bleeding on purpose

Enter captio
Shawn Michaels was a frequent bleeder during the early 2000's

It was not rare for someone to bleed on every show during the early 2000’s. It also did not matter if you were in the mid-card, a comedy act or a main eventer, any segment could feature someone being busted open or “wearing a crimson mask.”

In today’s WWE product, once you see the referee put on the medical gloves, you know there is blood somewhere and it will be patched up before the match continues. This can take away from the pacing of the match and irk fans of the older days.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

The practice of blading or getting colour to increase drama during a match has been stopped by the WWE.
