WWE

Wrestling have been a fascination to me for as long as I can remember. I stopped watching it for awhile, but now I'm back analyzing things. Since wrestling is a "show", how do wrestlers bleed, and are they actually bleeding?
I searched and found out that there's a wrestling technique called "blading". The word speaks for itself really, but to elaborate I took this definition from
Obsessed with Wrestling
who say it's a way "used to help a match be considered more believable or more violent and exciting by using a razor blade to cut yourself to draw more blood, most often done by the wrestler himself but there has been occasions where a manager/valet would do it for the wrestler and even the referee has been used for blading."
I still can't see how does this blading action take place though, wouldn't watching a match makes it easy to show the blading action if that actually requires slashing oneself with a razor?! … Professional wrestling, everybody!

I use to be an addict and even bought tickets for the shows but wrestling changed a lot over the years it's more of a soap opera now. About the bleeding i remember going to RAW and when i saw Shawn Michaels beat the crap out of HHH i noticed he wasn't even touching his face! close up you see it's all fake (of course i knew that but it was so obvious) frankly i don't care at least i got to see them and take a few pics ;)
