#5 Blading
One of the biggest things that WWE has banned since the new era is blading. For fans who may not be aware, blading is when a wrestler deliberately makes a cut with a blade to oneself to bleed during a match.
Blading was banned at the beginning of the PG Era and has stayed that way since. We all know what happened when Batista bladed during a match against Chris Jericho during that infamous RAW.
Vince McMahon personally gave both men a piece of his mind before fining them both. Batista was fined $100,000 while Jericho and referee Mike Chioda were fined $5,000. Even the agent who helped put together the match, Dean Malenko, was fined $5,000.
Batista said the following about the meeting he and Chris Jericho had with Mr. McMahon after that incident:
"Then he starts passing out fines. So my fine was $100,000…My heart dropped. I thought it would be like $25,000…When he said $100,000, I was just heartbroken. I literally think that he sucked the life out of me that day. I think that's the day that I knew things were never going to be the same."
