Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland took their epic feud to a
whole new level last night at All Out in an extremely
violent match which perhaps, was tough to watch at some
points.
The match ended when the referee deemed he had seen enough
after Page whacked Strickland with a sickening chair shot to
his unprotected head. To make it worse, just seconds
earlier, Page removed Swerve’s grill from his teeth and
stuck a needle in his mouth…and then hit the chair shot with
a violent swing.
Violence was wildly expected in this “unsanctioned” lights
out cage match but maybe it did go a little bit too far with
fans putting their hands on their head on many occasions.
At the beginning of their match, Strickland tried to crush
Page with the cage which was coming down but thankfully,
Hangman managed to escape in time. Staple guns were the
early order of the match as well, with both stars stapling
each other, including Swerve stapling photos of his family
to Page’s face. Every weapon you can think of was also in
use, including a cinder block which served as the landing
spot for a sickening vertebreaker by Strickland on Page.
Page returned the favor with the cinder block, powerbomBing
Swerve right on it as fans looked in disbelief. Page, who
pretty much just like his dance partner committed several
felonies in this match, also tried to stab Swerve with a
piece of wood from the burned-down house, but Strickland
turned it around and stabbed Page in the head instead.
This was definitely a match not for the faint of heart, a
match you typically see at the extreme indie promotions and
as AEW President Tony Khan likes to say, it was “for the
sickos.”
