The company demanded some changes that Dusty Rhodes was simply not going to adhere to. Turner didn't want any blood on their programming and instituted a policy where bleeding in matches was banned. This just wasn't going to fly with Rhodes, and he broke the rule on the biggest WCW show of the year.
