WWE Network
Some of WrestleMania’s greatest bouts have also been some of WWE’s bloodiest encounters. There’s an art to the violence, with a new level of drama being uncovered when a wrestler is washed in the red stuff. Done appropriately, it works wonders in getting the intensity and meaning of a match over to the audience.
Of course, since WWE went PG in 2008, blood has been banned. There were multiple reasons, mainly Linda McMahon’s senate campaign and WWE’s bid to be family/advertiser friendly. There was also a big health factor to consider, because it isn’t exactly medically advisable to run a razor blade over the forehead.
Blood loss and risk of infection were always a real danger when it came to blading.
But despite the valid arguments against blood, would any of the following ‘Mania classics have really been the same without the presence of plasma?...

The Fox network has picked up a new drama series that will be based on the DC Comics superhero character The Spectre. The series has received a script commitment and will be written and produced by Brandon Camp (John Doe).
The character was created by Jerry Siegel and Bernard Baily in the 1940's when he appeared in an issue of DC's More Fun Comics. The character has since blew up, and has become a very well known comic character. The story centers on a former cop serving time in afterlife limbo who hunts down earthly criminals on behalf of the dead — and mortals soon to be dead, if ultimate justice is not served.
