    Yes they do.

    I believe Ric Flair is a notorious blader.

    They tend to hide small razor blades in their wrist bands or trunks, and bring them out once their hot and sweaty, cut themselves slightly and use it for effect.

    Because when you are hot your blood vessels dilate, so that the blood can get closer to the surface of the skin to release heat, all that is needed is a small cut. Thus it isn't particularly dangerous.

    yes of course they do. because blood makes it look like they are really hurt. by the way , they do really get hurt quite often even thouogh wrestling is fake, but the pain and injuries are not fake.

    Being an ex-wrestler myself, even though, I didn't cut myself (indy feds dont't pay you enough ;) ) , my team mates did. They cut themselves, with razors, covered with masking tape, leaving only .5mm of the blade out. Enough to give you a cut, and enough to not hurt you badly. They hid them, in the wrist bands, trunks, and if the occasion let, under the ring side skirt.

    It is a rumour put around by people who devalue wrestling, some people do,some don't it is not possible to say all do, I have been in the ring with some who have openly admitted they do, but with most you will find, it is not that hard to bleed when you consider high risk moves, and in barbed wire matches, it is not needed at all

    I have read that they do indeed. But we're talking small, inconsequential cuts in strategic places. When you're hot and sweaty, you can get a scary looking stream of blood mixed with sweat, with no more than you might do to yourself shaving. Just givin' the fans what they pay for.

    Yes, it's true, the reason is to make it more real, and the WWE pays them extra to do it.
