AEW star Hangman Page was a major name a few years ago, but unfortunately for him and his family, he became a target of Swerve Strickland. In hindsight, Strickland recently recalled why he did the deed.
Page and Strickland's Texas Deathmatch has been highly praised by fans, but leading up to their bout, the Mogul Embassy star invaded the Millenial Cowboy's home. Due to this, there was a lot of bad blood between the men before things kicked off at the pay-per-view.
In his recent interview on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Swerve Strickland described what inspired him to put Hangman Page's family at risk and why the worst wasn't shown on screen.
"I'm letting the people's imagination run wild by not showing it it's almost like Blair Witch Project because you didn't see the ghosts you didn't see, they didn't show you anything. [Same with] JAWS, like the idea of just going to the water is now a fear of and causes a lot of anxiety to a lot of people go into the beach now."

"And there's nothing out there. But the idea that something could be out there is your imagination. You're letting the viewer really take hold, like Paranormal Activity." (H/T INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet)
The AEW star also recently commented on the different experiences he's had with Tony Khan compared to his relationships with Triple H and Shawn Michaels in NXT.
