Swerve Strickland has a big comparison for Hangman Page.
Swerve Strickland and Hangman Page had one of the most violent and bloody matches in the history of a nationally televised company when they competed in a Texas Death Match at AEW Full Gear. The match featured barbwire, chains, glass, and blood drinking.
Both men have been in their fair share of hardcore matches or death matches over their careers, with Hangman being a veteran of the match in AEW.
Speaking to Dean Muhtadi (Mojo Rawley) on TMZ, Swerve spoke about the death match and compared Hangman to a hardcore legend.
"The Death Match, I don’t look like someone that’s a Deathmatch wrestler or a fan of it, or even partakes in it, but I’ve done my share. I actually grew up being a fan of hardcore stuff. Shoutout Mick Foley. I said on Twitter a couple years ago, I’m like, man, this generation doesn’t have a Mick Foley. Mick Foley was that guy in that Attitude Era, doing the right of passage to a lot of stars. He did with it with the Triple Hs, he did it with the Undertakers, he did it with the Austins, he’s done it with the Rocks. Then, the next generation, the Adam Copelands, the Randy Ortons, Brock. You name them, he gave him that right of passage, and I feel like we don’t have that anymore. Truth be told, when I made that tweet, I was like, man, who is that guy now? It might be Hangman Page. It might be," he said.
On his recent Foley is Pod, Mick Foley commented that he had not seen Swerve vs. Hangman, but that he wasn't fond of the blood-drinking spot. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
