The acrimonious clash was replete with an array of weapons, ranging from barbed wire to glass. Both Hangman and Strickland didn’t hold back from tormenting each other to an excruciating level. The brutal clash was bloodshed in the true sense. One such wild moment from the match was the bloodied stapler spot.
