Further to the brief discussion today as to if Haystacks cut himself of used fake blood I ask how many bloody bouts were real cuts with a blade and how many were not. We know wrestlers werent paid a great deal and I wonder if they got a few quid more if they did cut themselves? The cuting would have had to be done very quickly so there was absolutely no gaurantee the cut wouldnt need a stitch or two afterwards which would have ment a long wait in Casualty, and we all know how much fun that is! And lets not forget it takes a lot of bottle to take a razor blade to your own head or even let the ref do it. I know it did happen a fair bit but I wonder how much?

During this lockdown period I wouldn't want a razor within two metres of my knackers; although I believe that it may be one metre by July 4th!
