Brian Kendrick has said he was “cold-hearted” when making the comments that would ultimately see him pulled from appearing for AEW.
Kendrick was meant to appear on AEW Dynamite in February 2022, but after several comments made by Kendrick in the past came to light, Tony Khan pulled him from the show.
The comments made in 2013 included Kendrick denying that the Holocaust happened and claiming that the Sandy Hook school shooting that killed 20 children and 6 adults was staged.
Speaking to TMZ, Kendrick again apologized for his comments saying:
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for being so cold-hearted and trying to profit off of tragedy, I suppose it’s what it was. I was trying to gain off of others’ tragedies by making conspiracy to create a buzz for myself, to gain some sort of bookings.
“It was a terrible idea and even if it hadn’t affected anybody, it’s still just horribly embarrassing. I am sorry for anybody — to people I hurt, for making light of stuff that happened to them or their family. I hope you accept that.”
Kendrick has since been working with the Survivor Mitzvah Project, which supports elderly Holocaust survivors.
The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion accepts that this controversy may have ended his wrestling career, but he’s hoping that he can have another chance.
