Earlier today, a fan took to Twitter to accuse WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray of trying to intimidate him backstage at a Ring of Honor event following an incident he had with Velvet Sky earlier in the night.
Josh Ketch said that Allure’s Velvet Sky got into a heated argument with him during a recent ROH show. Ketch claimed that he wasn’t trying to get himself over, simply getting involved as a fan by cheering the faces and booing the heels.
At some point Velvet Sky seemingly loses her cool & is challenging me to come in the ring. Tells me to suck it, calls me a pussy, etc
No prob. Get your heatShe calls me a virgin. I remind her she has sex with that fat turd Bully Ray. Call them the tramp stamp trio. End segment

Soon after, Ketch was escorted away by security to wait in the back where he was met by Bully Ray.
He said “hey. I heard there was incident tonight with you and some of the girls”
“Uh… yeah? I guess” *I’m so lost*
“So here’s the deal. You’re done talking down to them. You need to treat them with respect. Don’t be saying anything you wouldn’t say to your mom, you got it?!”

He said that Bully was intentionally trying to intimidate him, and wound up backing down. It didn’t take long for these tweets to reach Bully Ray, and the former world champion responded.

He said that he was as nice as he could’ve been in the situation, nicer than most would assume, with the conversation lasting barely thirty seconds and ending with a nice pat on the back.
Looking back on the incident, Bully feels that Ketch should’ve been ejected then and there.
It wasn’t until after “fan” was asked not to be “so rude”, did we find out the severity of the vile comments and lewd sexual gestures made towards the women.
I think we can all agree that in 2019, this type of behavior towards women is unacceptable and goes far beyond the scope of… “I paid for my seat, I should be able to do or say whatever I want.”
I live by the motto…”Respectful fans always get what they want…Rude fans always get what they deserve.” At the end of the day, I’m guilty of defending 3 women that needed a bit of defending. Not by being a bully…by being a man.
Per John Pollock of POST Wrestling, Ring of Honor has taken matters into their own hands and will be conducting an internal review over the next two days.
