GCW comments on slur at Aura event

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

Chris Dickinson has pulled himself off of Today’s GCW event following domestic abuse allegations from independent wrestler Christina Von Eerie. Dickinson was scheduled to wrestle Biff Busick at GCW’s “In Too Deep” PPV event.

“I have made the decision to pull myself off of Saturday’s GCW event in Atlantic City,” he wrote on Twitter. “I do not want to serve as a distraction to my peers. The accusations made about me by a former partner are false, and contain multiple defamatory allegations that will be addressed in due time. I do not wish to engage in public discourse on this matter. Instead, I will pursue all legal options afforded to me in an effort to clear my name.”

Von Eerie made allegations of domestic abuse against Dickinson on Twitter and Facebook recently.

“One specific incident was the weekend of Wrestlemaina 30, in 2014,” Von Eerie wrote on Facebook. “I was regularly working for Dragon Gate USA and Evolve, ran by Gabe Sapolsky and Sal Hamaoui. Both of them have always been very supportive and made me feel like they truly believed in me. They’ve showcased me and gave me opportunities that took my career and status to higher levels. I’ve always had so much respect and appreciation for them as bosses, and friends. That being said, disappointing them or making them think I’d ever take the opportunities they’ve given to me for granted was something I’d be greatly ashamed of. Chris hated the fact that they were using me because working for them would only further my career…

“I was invited to work for DGUSA that Mania weekend. I knew that weekend would be huge. There were so many of the top independent promotions running shows. Being there would have been incredible exposure, and chances to network with some of the most recognized and important people in the business.

“Looking back I now, know that I was being weak minded and shouldn’t have ever let anyone dictate my life in this way, but Chris flipped out when I told him in was going to be booked. He told me that he ‘f—ing hates that piece of s–t Gabe Sapolsky,’ and that if I took this booking that I’d come home to my bags packed and a ticket back to the West Coast.”
