Top stars who have never bladed
I was just thinking to myself the other day about Jeff Hardy's impending return, and something struck me: I can't remember Jeff Hardy ever blading. Am I missing something really obvious? I guess they switched away from blood in about 2008, right? Jeff got elevated into the main event scene proper around the end of that year, and his "hardcore" stuff early was mainly ladder and table stuff.
Anyway, I thought it might be fun to talk about blood in wrestling, or the lack thereof when it could have helped an angle, or just as an oddity. Can anyone think of any top stars that didn't really get as much blood as you would think? Scott Hall is another one that I don't remember bleeding, but a lot of WCW is a blur. Hall blading probably would have been a waste of good liquor. |

Foley? I'm not sure if he ever bladed or not. It seems like he always got busted open the hard way, either intentionally or not.
Maybe it was his hair and/or mask that made it seem more legit v. blade job, or maybe his legit hard way bloody matches simply overshadow the matches/moments where he did an obvious blade job, so I just never noticed or I'm forgetting them. |

You can almost take out anyone who worked the Territories.
I'm gonna say Sid since he worked as Lord Humongous under a mask when he first started in Continental/Memphis before the jump to NWA/WCW |

Jinder Mahal.
Sure his status as a top star was like a few months at most but he didn't bleed during that time. |

Warrior, only time I remember him bleeding was when Macho busted the scepter over his head, but I'm pretty sure that was either the hard way of a blood pack.

That's the sort of thing I'm talking about though. Guys who were stars in the territories would have almost definitely done it. Modern guys almost don't count, haha. |
