Abdullah the Butcher vs. Bruiser Brody, World Class TV, 1986. I
never saw so many foreign objects used in one match before or since.
Thoroughly disgusting.
Midnight Rockers v. Buddy Rose/Doug Somers, Las Vegas, 1986. One
of the craziest matches I ever saw on TV. The match that put Michaels and
Jannetty into the spotlight, and arguably the best match Rose and Somers
ever put on (and believe me, they only put on one or two).
Curt Hennig v. Nick Bockwinkel, Las Vegas, 1987. Hennig's face
was covered in crimson by the end of this match.

I remember a match in the mid-70's I saw on cable that was on a show from
Detroit between King Curtis Iaukea (who is now the fat guy in the throne
who runs the Dungeon of Doom) and Bulldog Don Kent. Both were bleeding
buckets. Curtis was on his kness in the middle of the ring when Kent took
a sharp piece of wood from a broken chair and literally carved up Iaukea's
forehead. It was gruesome to watch.
If you've ever seen Iaukea's forehead, it is absolutely the most scarred
in wrestling. Abdullah the Butcher looks like male model with flawless
skin compared to Iaukea.
You have to think Puerto Rico when you think REALLY bloody matches.
Bloodiest I saw was a falls count anywhere in the building WWC title
match between perennial champion Carlitos Colon and arch-nemisis Hercules
Ayala. The match was actually stopped when Colon, the face, was
litterally floating in a pool of his own and Ayala's blood. It was no
screwjob finish and nobody protested. In fact it looked like it might
have been a shoot stoppage, like maybe Colon bladed too deeply into one
of his scars and the heat in the gym just caused him to bleed too much.
In anycase it was quite gruesome.
Ah, the days...

I didn't see the beginning of this thread, but in case they weren't
mentioned, here are a few more:
- Pat Patterson vs. Sgt. Slaughter - Madison Square Garden, I think it was
1982. Anyone who saw it definitely remembers it. Not just a bloodbath but
one of the all-time great brawls.
- Terry Gordy vs. Ted DiBiase - in a cage in the Sam Houston Coliseum, I
think it was 1987 or thereabouts, right after the Mid-South became the UWF.
Terry juiced himself worse than any wrestler I've ever seen in 30 years, and
Ted was a mess.
- Fantastics vs. Sheepherders - I think it was the first Crockett Cup, in
New Orleans (?) - Bloodbath.
and last but not least, the much beloved Rockers vs. Rose-Sommers in the
dying days of the AWA. Completely revolting.

I also remember the Roddy Piper vs Greg Valentine dog collar
match, one of the most realistic violent matches I've ever seen.
That really did look good.
Plus another SMW one, Ricky Morton in the second Rage in the Cage
match (the one that had Bossman as ref). I always liked seeing
the R&Rs bleeding. Heh heh heh.
I saw one from Japan where Great Muta was wrestling Hiroshi Hase
and Muta went to use a spike but Hase reversed it, jabbing the
spike in Muta's head. Muta bled so much he washed all his
facepaint off!
Had to be the steel cage/submission match at one of the earlier Starrcades
with Magnum TA and Tully Blanchard (with Baby Doll as his valet) for the NWA
U.S. Title. Magnum and Tully looked like stuck pigs, especially when Magnum
used the leg of a broken chair on Tully's forehead!!! Bloody match ... and a
damned good one at that!!!!
That's the match (#5) that I listed. It took place 12/13/88, with the
result being the unification of the AWA & WCCW world titles...
No list of bloody matches is complete without any one of hundreds of match
involving the Sheik and his famous sharpened pencil. That was a feature
of almost any match he was involved in.

My two cents worth on this is (all matches from the 70's in Montreal):
1) Killer Kowalski against Mad Dog Vachon
- This was so bloody, both of them couldn't see at the end
2) Mad Dog Vachon against Johnny War Eagle
- War Eagle lost his ear in this one (again)
3) Any match with Abdullah the Butcher or the Sheik (the original)
- Eddie Creitchman always threw some kind of blade into the match.

Funny you mention it- I was just watching it last night. Dibiase gets
jumped by Dick Murdoch and gets posted, in what was one of the sickest blade
jobs of all-time. Blood all over the floor, the mat. In retrospect I give
it about a .95 Muta (remember that?)...

No offense intended toward anyone, but Pat would be at the TOP of my
list of wrestlers not to be involved in a bloodbath in pro-wrestling.

My vote goes to the Shiek vs. a rookie named Mark Lewin (Later "Maniac" and
"Purple Haze") Lewin juiced so hard he passed out in the middle of the ring
and went into shock. The Shiek looked rather bewildered and said something
to the ref...probably the only time I have seen him break character. This
match was *TOTALLY FUCKING GORY*!!!! Detroit knew in the 60's and 70's what
Philly is learning in the 90's

The Fantastics and the Sheepherders also wrestled a series of matches in
which the ring was wrapped in barbed wire. OUCH!

Any match with Abdullah the Butcher and that metal thing he always
had.
Why do I bother with this stuff?

One of the bloodiest matches I've seen was the Midnight Rockers vs. Playboy
Buddy Rose and Doug Summers (sp?).
Another one was the match when Larry Zybsko (sp?) nailed Bruno Sammartino with a
chair 3 times.

Also begore his untimely death, Stan Bresnahan once bloodied a face jobber
so badly I thought the guy was not going to make it. Rumor has it that
the jobber blew a kissto Bresnahan's wife as he walked up the aisle and
Bresnahan took it poorly to say the least
Also, Abdullah the Butcher vs Carlos Colon, fire match, 1987 (?) , i
remember was so bloody that Colon could hardly walk back to the dressing
room!
Also, Dick the Bruiser was involved in several juice fests, notably with
Bobo Brasil. I also saw a match in the Chicago Amphitheatre with Bruiser
and Crusher against the Chain Gang, which may have been the same guys who
portrayed the Fargo Brothers. All 4 juiced big time, as foreign objects
were employed on both sides.
