D-Von Dudley finally had enough of people twisting his words online, as the WWE Hall of Famer has now denied ever saying that KKK members infiltrated WWE in the past.
In a recent interview withVideo Gamer, D-Von Dudley claimed that members of the Ku Klux Klan made their way into WWE back in the 90s.
However, while speaking on Duke Loves Rasslin, D-Von Dudley addressed the controversy over the misleading claim that he said WWE was infiltrated by the KKK. He made it clear that he never said that.
What he actually talked about was how racism still exists today in more subtle ways. He explained that some people who once wore Klan sheets now wear business suits and work in professional settings, using power and influence instead of violence to discriminate.
Dudley said the idea that he accused WWE of being connected to the Klan was completely untrue. The misunderstanding came after he talked openly about people in WWE who treated him unfairly during the Attitude Era.
D-Von stated that WWE has been good to him, giving him a career, financial stability, and opportunities. He said he has no reason to attack the company, and hes proud to speak positively about them.
Dudley also warned against people twisting his words or spreading false claims, pointing out that anyone could read or listen to his full podcast to hear what he really said.
D-Von Dudleys message shows that talking openly about race and respect in wrestling is still important, but it should always be done honestly and definitely not by twisting words. Regardless, fans are just glad D-Von pointed out what he actually meant before things got out of hand.
