Veteran "grossed" out by AEW All Out segment despite being "used to" WWE ECW (Exclusive)

A recent segment on AEW All Out has unsettled many fans and critics. According to veteran journalist Bill Apter, it was one of the most disturbing spots he has ever seen.

Pro wrestling history has had no dearth of terrifying and death-defying stunts. ECW, for instance, had plenty of hardcore segments during its time. New Japan Pro Wrestling is also another example. However, the AEW segment where Hangman Adam Page inserted a needle inside Swerve Strickland's mouth was too much for Bill Apter.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, the legendary journalist stated:

"When he took the staple gun and showed Page a picture of his own family and stapled it to his cheek, I started going like, 'Okay, I am used to... CZW, I am used to ECW, I am used to Japan, I am used to Mexico. But I am not used to seeing anybody anywhere putting a hypodermic needle into someone's mouth in a professional wrestling setting.' Grossed me out." [11:33 onwards]

As of now, it remains to be seen what the fallout of Adam Page and Swerve Strickland's match in AEW All Out will be.
