Controversy at RevPro Event: Referee Injured; One Wrestler Disciplined, Another Fired

— At last weekend’s RevPro event at York Hall, controversy ensued after an impromptu finish to a tag team match led to the referee in the match getting a bodyslam that was not scripted. The series of events only came to light when the ref in the match – Aaren Wilde – posted on Twitter that he would be retiring from officiating, citing injuries as a result of an unplanned bump following the match. The incident occurred during the Aussie Open vs. Josh Bodom & Sha Samuels tag bout when Wilde ended the match earlier than anticipated when Bodom was unable to get his shoulders up in time before a three count. This upset Bodom and Samuels who then proceeded to slam the referee after the match, causing the injuries.

Last weekend at RevPro I was attacked after the Royal Quest tag match. This was not part of the show, it was not planned.

I was grabbed and slammed to the mat by Sha and then something happened on the outside. I honesty don’t know what, that part was a blur.

As a result, I have sustained a much-more-serious-than-originally-thought neck and shoulder injury that means I am no longer able to referee.

I hate the term ‘retire’, so I’ll say this; I am indefinitely unable to referee due to medical restrictions.

— In a tweet that has since been deleted, Bodom stated: “Yo @RevProUK, plz get some qualified refs that aren’t s***. Also the York Hall fans are incurable, depressed slop jalops. Congrats to @DUNKZILLADavis & @kylefletcherpro on getting a free pass to bRoyal Quest tho. xoxox” while Samuels ended up apologizing for his actions and indicated that he never meant to endanger anyone. Eventually RevPro officials got a wind of the injuries suffered by Wilde and they released the following statement, announcing that they are disciplining Samuels while cutting ties with Bodom.
