    WWWF ref John Stanley was apparently a guy who could be trusted with passing the blade to a wrestler. He passed it to Andre in the 1980 TV match where Hogan hit Andre with the loaded elbow pad. Marty Janetty and Shawn Michaels each said that Janetty had the blade in his mouth in the Barber Shop segment where Shawn put him through the window. Bruno had the well-earned nickname "bad blader." Albano was an atrocious blader. He would blade while looking right at the audience, or even right at the camera in those old MSG Channel matches.

      Edit: I looked it up, turns out they wanted him to sing what they wanted and kicked him out for singing jazz, then when he got famous guess who came by to revel in his success? That cartoon teaches that people will shit on you unless they can use you.

    I saw Matt Borne use a gig at a PNW TV taping in the late 80s (before he was Doink). I just happened to be sitting to the side of the ring when he got flung to the floor. He reached under the ring apron and pulled out what looked like a box cutter and opened up his forehead, then crawled under the ropes back into the ring. I already knew that wrestling was scripted, but that was my first real look behind the curtain, so to speak.

    I forgot who had this story. But someone hid a blade in their finger tape. During a match they were giving chops and the other guy was like God damn lighten up. After, they got back stage and his chest was cut to ribbons. Apparently the blade and slipped out of its pocket or flopped over so every chop was a literal knife edge.

    Imagine him showing up and cutting a promo on AEW in the ring? I'd watch that a thousand times. Have him find a tag team that actually listens as he promises to cut the cancer of circle jerking over valued chumps out of AEW.
    He promises to bring real wrestling back and defend the honor of guys like JR and the old school while eviscerating everyone on the mic?
    Oh God I'd love it so much. As far as pro wrestling goes I really don't know anyone who could handle the mic like Cornette. It would be the greatest thing in wrestling for a long dang time.
    I guess the only question is if he and the circle jerkin locker room could stay professional long enough to make some real money off the angle.
