AEW fans may have loved the violent main event of Saturday night’s All Out 2024 pay-per-view event, but Jonathan Coachman was no fan of the needle spot.
In the closing moments of the Steel Cage match, ‘Hangman’ Page used a hypodermic needle to deliver more punishment to Swerve Strickland.
On Twitter, Coachman lambasted the spot as one of the worst things he’s seen in his lengthy tenure in the world of professional wrestling. He said,
“That needle bit was some of the worst things I have seen in a long time. And anyone defending it is simply blindly loyal. Which shows me that is that everything I get on here is you’re a WWE Mark all you do is kiss Triple H’s ass well, you clearly never watch @BehindTheBuckle cause we are far from WWE’s mouthpiece. We talk about pro wrestling. And today it’s about how badly AEW is trying to make headlines. And these are the wrong ones. My goodness. It was one awful decision after another. Last one for me. Onto the NFL today and something positive.”
It’s been reported that Strickland will be taking a hiatus after All Out 2024. The former AEW World Champion re-signed with AEW earlier this month.
