Matt Hardy Talks Edge Almost Suffocating During Their Title Match At No Mercy 2000

Current AEW Star and pro wrestling legend Matt Hardy recently took to an episode of his "Extreme Life of Matt Hardy" podcast, where he discussed a variety of topics such as how WWE Hall of Famer Edge had a mask that was actually spray-painted gold during their WWE World Tag Team Championship Match at the 2000 WWE No Mercy Event and how Edge almost suffocated due to the mask as it was spray-painted just a couple of hours earlier.

Matt Hardy said:

“They didn’t have enough masks when we got to the building.” “I wanna say there was one. They went out to a mall and bought some masks. I wanna say it was some famous Mexican masks or whatever. Adam’s mask, Edge’s mask, was actually spray-painted gold. He almost suffocated. He almost passed out because he was wearing a mask that had been spray-painted just a couple of hours earlier.”

“I would guess that [the spray-painted mask] is the mask that was on underneath once the top mask came off.”
