During a recent appearance on the “NotSam Wrestling” podcast, Adam Copeland commented on the second-ever TLC match in history at WWE WrestleMania 17 and why the match made him focus on preserving his career. He said,
“It was that second TLC in Houston where I had the realization, we can’t continue to try and top this. A, they’re going to get desensitized. They, being the audience, and it won’t feel as special anymore, and in trying to top it, one of us is going to get really, really injured. And we’re going to keep trying. So, I wouldn’t say it was necessarily there where I was like, ‘Okay, this is what I need to do now.’ That didn’t come until later, and it didn’t come until I really started understanding what this Rated R Superstar thing was.”
On a recent edition of his “Swerve City Podcast,” AEW wrestler Swerve Strickland commented on his Texas Death Match against Hangman Page at the AEW Full Gear 2023 pay-per-view event and why he believes Page is a “freak of nature.”
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what sets Hangman Page apart as a wrestler: “[Page] is another freak of nature that we don’t give enough credit to. He’s just a hoss of a man, and he’s agile as hell for how big he is, how smooth he is. He has a motor on him.”
On what Page brought to the match: “I felt like you got both sides of that in that match. Which is very hard to do when you’re bleeding all over the place.”
