“I’ve Seen This Guy Bleed More Than Any Other Human”: Joe Rogan Praises Crazy WWE Legend Who Went Too Far for $50

The WWE you watch nowadays is a TV-PG product. In 2008, the sports entertainment giant took this approach to broaden its audience age gap and make its content available to young kids. Before being kid-friendly, blood and violence was a normal theme in the company.

In fact, the talents in the company used to hurt themselves deliberately to satisfy the audience with their performance, as most of the audience preferred to see some sort of violence in WWE. Several wrestlers used to indulge in these practices and the new generation of wrestlers also replicate the antics of the wild heyday. Jon Moxley is a notable name who bleeds profusely on television. Similarly, in the past, Ric Flair also used to hurt himself intentionally. But he had another reason to do so.

Ric Flair bled intentionally to earn some extra bucks

The latest edition of The Joe Rogan Experience featured The Nature Boy as the special guest for the show. During the interview, the show guest explain how and why he used to cut himself purposely back in his early days in WWE.

He starts by saying that he would use two blades to cut himself during his matches inside the ring. This statement from him prompts Rogan to use the following words in his praise: “I’ve seen this guy bleed more than any other human ever.”

Flair then proceeds to say that during every match, he would voluntarily harm himself at two different intervals. The first time he would cut himself with a blade is during the ’20-minute mark’ and the next time he would cut himself during the same bout would be at the ’40-minute mark’.

During the interview, he also mentioned that he would use “a Johnson blade, break it in half, then tape it up” to fulfill his purpose. Moving forward in the interview, he mentioned why he did what he did in the past. And the simple answer was to gain $50 extra as when he started wrestling, he had a low income.

He confessed that every time he made himself bleed, he would earn an extra $50 dollars from the match. “If you wanna make $50 extra, do you mind cutting yourself off? I said, ‘sh*t no.’ Because right then I was making $50, I cut myself, and I got 50 more. Then I got 100,” he said. Plus, he also told the fans that he used to do this every day.

He carried on with this practice for quite a while. And then Vince McMahon brought in the no-blood policy to the promotion. Now the wrestlers aren’t allowed to make themselves bleed in WWE intentionally, be it for entertainment or any other purpose.
