Blood re-introduced without ‘blading’? Suspicious Cena blood incidents
Could WWE have purposefully re-introduced blood into the Cena/Lesnar match (plus previous confrontation) to add that element of realism? They have been going on about Brock being ‘legit’ because of his MMA experience and it was a good way to enhance the ‘realness’ of his threat.
Both bleeding incidents looked accidental, as in Brock hit harder than he should have, first with the punch to Cena’s mouth and then with the elbow to the head, so they cannot be accused of re-introducing blading.
However, they could have cut Cena before he came out, and then sealed up the cut, with Brock instructed to strike the sealed wound to open it up again. Both bleeds happened extremely early in their confrontations, as they wouldn’t want to risk the cuts re-opening naturally before a decent head blow was landed.
Both incidents seem strange to me. The first punch to the mouth could have been dismissed as Brock being over-eager and nervous on his first proper fisticuffs since his return, but for him to make the same stiff mistake in their following match seems suspicious to me. Plus, regarding the second bleeding incident, it wasn’t one single wayward elbow that did it, Brock aimed a couple more at the same spot before he connected well enough to open the wound.
So could this be the new ‘blading’? Cut the wrestler before he comes out and then seal it just enough so his opponent can open it up again with a specific pre-arranged strike?
Maybe not, as all blood incidents would have to happen pretty early in a match, though that wouldn’t be any less ‘realistic’. You can bleed just as easily from the first punch in a fight than you can from the fiftieth.
Anyone else thinking the blood incidents were pre-arranged?
