Swerve Strickland has had a lot of tough matches in his pro wrestling career, but none tougher than his Hell of War match against AR Fox in Lucha Underground.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Swerve Strickland was a recent guest on The Cruz Show to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked what the toughest match he’s ever had in his career was, Strickland spoke about a Hell of War match against AR Fox in Lucha Underground.
“Oh, man. So if you watched last week when we were in Seattle, It was me versus AR Fox,” Swerve Strickland said. “We have a history of going back to 2017 in Lucha Underground, which was done by the El Rey network. Robert Rodriguez filmed; it was his production with MGM. So it was four seasons we did. And on the season three finale, it was me versus AR Fox. He was Dante Fox at the time. You should look this up on YouTube.
“We went about half an hour on a Hell of War match. And it’s three different matches. Yeah, it’s two out of three falls. I just showed my man AD that he’d never seen the match before. He’s been working with me for like six months, so I am showing him that for the first time. The first match was first blood; whoever believes first loses that first match.
“Then it goes to the second one, which is no disqualification. So no rules, just pinfall or submission. And if it gets a third fall, it’s a Medical Evacuation match, and you got to get your opponent and put them in the ambulance truck. So we went through all three stages. It was like basically three matches in one.”
