Tommy Dreamer has released a statement regarding his controversial comments on the most recent episode of the Vice TV docu-series, “Dark Side of the Ring.”
As noted, the ECW legend was suspended by IMPACT Wrestling after the episode aired and featured Dreamer making the following comments about Ric Flair’s behavior towards a flight attendant on the infamous Plane Ride from Hell back in 2002.
“He could move his hips, twirl it and so his well-endowed penis spins around like a helicopter. So, hey, he’s the Nature Boy for a reason, he’s got a hammer on him. Ric Flair’s not going to try to impose by force any sexual stuff onto anybody. He’s just flaunting, styling and profiling, doing the Ric Flair stuff where everybody’s going to laugh about it. But obviously, someone took offense to it.”
After the suspension was laid down, Dreamer issued the following statement regarding the controversial comments on the episode to PWInsider.com:
“Regarding my comments made on Dark Side of the Ring. It was never my intention to offend, hurt or victim shame anyone. I understand my comments were insensitive and could trigger emotions in someone’s own personal past. I do not condone sexual misconduct of any kind. I apologize to anyone I offended. From the bottom of my heart. I am so sorry.”
