Identity of AEW's Leatherface!
Added 2023-08-17 22:17:46 +0000 UTCThe identity of Leatherface is confirmed.
Leatherface appeared on the August 16 AEW Dynamite in a match of the year contender, seeing Jeff Jarrett defeat Jeff Hardy in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre match, which received universal acclaim and zero criticism from literally anyone that watched it, ever.
Towards the end of the match, Texas Chainsaw Massacre star Leatherface made an appearance, chasing several heels backstage. We’ve since learned who was portraying the iconic horror movie star.
Fightful Select has learned that Dean Alexander portrayed the role of Leatherface for the event. Alexander has been wrestling for All Elite Wrestling for about two and a half years, first appearing at the March 2021 AEW Dark tapings. He’s worked at least three dozen dates since then, and regularly teamed with Rosario Grillo and Carlie Bravo. Perhaps his most prominent match was teaming with Kidd Bandit against Too Fast, Too Fuego.
Wrestling Observer reported that AEW got over $100,000 in sponsorships for the spot, which Tony Khan donated to food banks in support of the Maui wildfires.

The match was bad enough that I actually enjoyed it. Like watching Nothing But Trouble: it’s not a good movie, but it’s so terrible that it’s weirdly charming.

2023-08-18 17:03:43 +0000 UTCIt’s less of a nightmare and more of a fever dream. It’s weird, it’s vaguely entertaining, it never quite makes sense, and people would probably think you’d lost your marbles if you tried to describe it to them

2023-08-18 13:27:12 +0000 UTCSorry you’re the only one that doesn’t get the joke. And I honestly don’t care about your opinion. Sorry not sorry 🤣😂🤣😂

Marshall Enloe
2023-08-18 04:44:51 +0000 UTCHiding the lead... Young Bucks stand-in Dean Alexander! 😉
Cory Lamb
2023-08-18 02:25:38 +0000 UTCAccording to the likes I got, you’re in the minority.
T Mar
2023-08-18 02:20:20 +0000 UTCApparently you don't get it
Marshall Enloe
2023-08-18 02:18:34 +0000 UTCSaid nothing about Dynamite, just Leatherface. You still don’t get it. 🤣😂🤣😂
T Mar
2023-08-18 02:11:11 +0000 UTCThey were there, you weren't. Fact you wanna bring up something that has nothing to do with Dynamite proves my point
Marshall Enloe
2023-08-18 02:03:22 +0000 UTCBig difference is people who were there say it did. More credibility then anything you provided.
T Mar
2023-08-18 01:52:53 +0000 UTCYou still weren't there
Marshall Enloe
2023-08-18 01:51:40 +0000 UTCAll signs point to yes. Just accept it and move on with your life.
T Mar
2023-08-18 01:39:28 +0000 UTCI never said it didn't happen, I'm just saying you're not there to say it's factual.
Marshall Enloe
2023-08-18 01:38:23 +0000 UTCAnd reported what happened. You weren’t they to say it didn’t so… goodnight sir
T Mar
2023-08-18 01:35:34 +0000 UTCThey were there, you weren't
Marshall Enloe
2023-08-18 01:34:53 +0000 UTCSo people who were there said it happened. Where there’s smoke.
T Mar
2023-08-18 01:32:35 +0000 UTCUnless you're there you have no idea. As great as Sean is, he reports what is told to him. He said she said isn't exactly 100%, just ask Johnny Depp
Marshall Enloe
2023-08-18 01:31:10 +0000 UTCBut it’s factual. Reported here.
T Mar
2023-08-18 01:26:57 +0000 UTCLike a random mark like yourself actually knows what's going on. You're assuming the situation because of things you read on the internet.
Marshall Enloe
2023-08-18 01:26:09 +0000 UTCAssuming only makes an ass out of you. I’m actually a big CM Punk fan. One of the main reasons I watch Collision. But TK needs to step in and get some control in the locker room. Punk isn’t a EVP.
T Mar
2023-08-18 01:23:31 +0000 UTCJust like you could move on cause you don't like CM Punk, maybe you should take your own advice
Marshall Enloe
2023-08-18 01:10:41 +0000 UTCAnd like my joke, people laugh, don’t like it, move along. Take care
T Mar
2023-08-18 01:09:20 +0000 UTCSo fucking what if Leatherface was there, it's a TV show
Marshall Enloe
2023-08-18 01:08:04 +0000 UTCYep don’t care how shitty that match was now knowing that they donated over 100 K because of it
Lucas Oliveira
2023-08-18 00:42:35 +0000 UTCIt's great lol
Tempo1337
2023-08-18 00:17:22 +0000 UTCYeah Jeff Jarrett vs Jeff Hardy in 2023 doesn't exactly scream instant classic, can't really understand what people thought this was gonna be. It's the usual crowd of marks that want to complain about everything
Marshall Enloe
2023-08-17 23:40:06 +0000 UTCI promise that the folks being horrible about the match haven't donated to the Maui fire relief efforts. Good on them for getting a sponsor and directing those funds towards a good cause. I think having leatherface come out with The Righteous or Butcher, Blade and Bunny would have been a hoot. 😆
Rincewind
2023-08-17 23:21:23 +0000 UTCYeah, this match showed that people on the Internet (6-7% max of the actual fanbase) take things way too seriously. Sometimes wrestling is supposed to be silly nonsense.

2023-08-17 23:05:03 +0000 UTCwith how much a nightmare literally everyone described it as, I feel like I need to watch it.

2023-08-17 22:56:08 +0000 UTCThat match was a lot of fun.
Raymond Slover
2023-08-17 22:55:07 +0000 UTCChrist, do people not know how to have silly fun anymore? I thought it was great. Did exactly what it was meant to do. Some of these wrestling fans are just too serious for me...
Tempo1337
2023-08-17 22:40:06 +0000 UTCIt fully reminded me of tripping on Shrooms in college. Quite entertaining and the next day, today in this case, im still not sure what I saw. 🤣🤣🤣

2023-08-17 22:39:46 +0000 UTCThe ends more than justify the means
.
2023-08-17 22:33:29 +0000 UTCI actually found it to be an entertaining fever dream lol. They are doing a lot of interesting things cinema-wise
Covell Coleman JR
2023-08-17 22:26:34 +0000 UTCThe only good thing to come from this match was all the money going to charity lol
Tucker
2023-08-17 22:26:07 +0000 UTCIt’s ok to laugh, don’t get your panties in a bunch.
T Mar
2023-08-17 22:25:40 +0000 UTCAs dumb as that whole match was, $100k to charity makes it all worth it in the end.
