In today's episode, Alexa takes us through what is known as the crimson mask in professional wrestling. Through doing so, she discusses some history of bloody wrestling matches, important moments in wrestling history, and just how career shifting one bloody match can be. She also talks about the women who subvert expectations by shedding their own blood...on purpose or on accident.
