• Reason Behind Vince McMahon Not Allowing Women To Blade Back In The Day
Blading was allowed in WWF/E back in the day (before WWE went PG in 2008). However, Vince McMahon still didn’t allow the women to blade during their matches.
During a recent interview with Ring The Belle, former WWE Women’s Champion Victoria had the following to say regarding why Vince McMahon didn’t want women to blade:
“One day I came to TV, and they were like you have a cage match, And I went ‘Are you kidding me?’ We gig our forehead to bleed sometime, and I wanted to gig. I would never do it now, but at the time I thought we were so hardcore and we can do whatever the guys do.
I went to Vince to ask him and he goes, ‘Thank you Victoria for wanting to do it, but no one wants to see a Diva bleed.’ I did ask Lita to throw me as hard as you can against the cage so I can get color naturally. I didn’t know how to do it, and I got a big knot.”
