In an interview with Instinct Culture with Denise Salcedo, Swerve Strickland talked about his epic feud with Hangman Page.
“I would rank it definitely top three ever for me, and for AEW, no doubt in my mind it’s the best story that All Elite Wrestling has told, in my opinion, because it was so unique and so personal.
He continued, “It got so personal because it wasn’t just two wrestlers, it was two human beings and crossing the line of men, how far you’re willing to go to push those buttons of someone that you truly hate. Why are you hating them? What are you gonna do about it? A lot of people hate just to hate, but no, I hate him for these reasons, and the audience knows and understands why. These were something when it happened, like the home invasions and things like that, when it happened, it was a lot of question marks, and they’re like, ‘I don’t know how I feel about this. Does this belong in wrestling? Does this fit? Why won’t this happen?’ Now, a year later, people are like, ‘Well, Swerve, he deserves this because he did this. Hangman deserves this because he did this to him.’ So now, those things that were question marks, now, it’s like it carries on with us, those reasons, throughout the rest of our careers, no matter where we go. People know why Hangman is the way he is.
