GOT Wrestle Fest Fan Thread

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Vince getting busted open was planned. The hypocrisy of the angle was noted, as other wrestlers have been fined for juicing. Batista was fined $100,000 for bleeding in a cage match with Chris Jericho in 2008.

It is unknown just how the cut happened. While there is a chance that the blood could have been a result of a hardway shot, Meltzer noted that it was unlikely because you can't guarantee blood from a single headbutt. Meltzer wrote that people that he spoke to that have been in the business for decades believe that Vince bladed before the segment and covered it up with nu-skin, which would lead to the wound re-opening with a lot of blood. It was noted that you could see the difference in the skin where the cut was opened from a close-up freeze frame.

WWE.com issued a storyline update on Vince on Wednesday, stating that following the attack, he did not give comment and refused to be looked at by medical staff.

Planned or not, it was still a very good build-up angle for the next PPV and it gives the fans even more reason to hate KO now. And for the first time in years (possibly since Taker v Edge) I feel a Hell in a Cell match is actually justified. Would be nice if they went all out and allowed blood in the actual match as well.
 
Greatest character in wrestling ever for me.

He was the guy you loved to hate. Nobody REALLY hated him as everyone knew he was brilliant but he was so good at what he did that you went along with it anyway.
 
There's no great hero without a great villain....The Brain made WWF unmissable for me as a kid... Bobby and the Heenan Family were always the top heels that Hogan, Savage, Warrior, Jake Roberts, etc had to overcome....

Then as a commentator there was no one funnier...

Always saddened me seeing photos of him over the past few years... so sad how much he must have suffered whilst bravely fighting cancer...

Greatest heel of all time...RIP
