Brian Kendrick was removed from his bout with Jon Moxley slated at AEW Dynamite, according to AEW President Tony Khan. “We’ve been made aware of Brian Kendrick’s previous vile and insulting comments,” Khan posted on social media. “The views expressed by Brian have no room in AEW.” We think it is in everyone’s best interests for Brian to be removed from tonight’s card while we gather additional information.”
Brian Kendrick made offensive comments about the Holocaust
On this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, erstwhile WWE Cruiserweight Champion Brian Kendrick was set to mark his AEW in-ring debut versus Jon Moxley. The plan, however, fell through just hours before the exhibit.
Kendrick was accused of making inflammatory comments about the Holocaust and other conspiratorial notions, which enraged many wrestling enthusiasts on social media. But what were the actual comments from Brian? Let’s find out.
Kendrick had made ludicrous statements about the Holocaust, disputing the legitimacy of concentration centres and alleging that the death toll had been inflated. As the day proceeded, more information about Kendrick’s beliefs became available. From “reptilians” to the “sun isn’t actually hot,” he dabbled in a variety of conspiracy nuts.
The website Culture Crossfire recapped a 2013 Highspots video with Kendrick in which he criticised the Holocaust as being exaggerated. It also features him spewing disproved conspiracy theories such as the Illuminati and others being involved in the 9/11 attacks and the Kennedy assassination. Michael Jackson, he alleged, staged his own death.
In a 2011 video, the former WWE cruiserweight champion also mentions conspiracy theories such as “Jewish medics already being set to go and being flown to Haiti minutes after the [2010] earthquakes” to harvest body parts.
Kendrick issues a public apology
Brian Kendrick has recently apologised on social media, stating that they are not and have never been his beliefs. He went on to call his previous remarks “vile” and that he would live to regret them for the rest of his life.
He also posted another tweet saying he was sorry for the pain he caused and he was gonna live with that regret for the rest of his life. You can check the tweet below:
