24WRESTLING.COM – WWE News and Spoilers

Independent pro wrestling star Damien Darling recently spoke to the folks at #Asked about his past relationship with WWE Hall Of Famer Tammy “Sunny” Sytch. Darling addressed claims by Sytch of physical and sexual abuse, along with many other controversial topics. Below are highlights from the interview:

On her unhappiness and the front she put on for the public: “Just because you go on Facebook, or you go on Twitter and you pretend like you’re so successful and happy, and you’re a Hall of Famer or whatever, that’s not reality. No disrespect to a WWE Hall of Fame ring, but a WWE Hall of Fame ring and a dollar will get you a bag of Doritos at a deli.

“She went to three different rehabs in our relationship. The first time she went to rehab for 30 days … She came out of that rehab and had so much medication, which was over-prescribed for her. Before you know it, you’re filming a show or you’re filming a shoot interview and you’re f**king three pills deep, and you’re not yourself.”

On why their relationship didn’t work out: “I think maybe Tammy thought that she’d have some boyfriend that she could move in with, that would come home from work, and she’d be f**cking passed out drunk. That would wash her, and clean her up, and because she was who she was, would just manage to pull through. That’s not me … One day I came home and she was passed out, and there was an empty bottle of vodka on the floor. The first thing I did was pick up the phone and call WWE, and get one of the representatives that handle their rehab facility on the phone.

“They would have sent a cab right over, would have picked her up and took her right to rehab. WWE rehab is amazing. They will absolutely send a cab to your house, pick you up and find you the best rehab facility in the country.”

On being accused of sexual abusing Sytch: “It was reported in the newspaper by her attorney, who made statements that she had broken ribs. When I first read that on a Monday morning – like the entire world did – the first thing I did was I went to the police department … They pulled me aside and said ‘listen, she was arrested on Friday, she was fine. She was here in custody on Saturday; she was fine. She saw her lawyer on Sunday, and a half hour later, they filled a criminal complaint against you for assault, and for sexual assault … they had her x-rayed, and she had no injuries, and absolutely no signs of any sort of sexual assault. So I was never, ever charged or investigated for anything. Her accusations of me breaking her ribs are just what they are.”

On some of the alleged lies she has told the media: “When she was released from prison – a normal person would maybe call your mom, or your family or your friends – the first thing Tammy did when she was released from prison was call TMZ. She called TMZ and said that she was writing an autobiography and that she was cured of cancer … She accused me of giving her an STD, that was HPV, that turned into cervical cancer. HPV is an STD that could turn into cervical cancer. Only it takes seven to eight years for HVP to actually turn into cervical cancer. So that means that, eight years ago, when I was a freshman in high school – I was not the guy that was banging Tammy Sytch.”

On the final straw in their relationship: “She was arrested six times It really wasn’t until the last, final time that she was arrested in my apartment … I came home, the same thing happened again, only this time it was so f**king violent, and so dangerous … When you have a drunk woman attacking you with bottles, and knives and hammers and whatever else, there’s not a whole lot that you can do. The last time we were together, it was very very dangerous. There was a moment – I’ll be honest, I fell on my ass and broke down and cried. There was a moment where I just had a vision in my mind of newspaper articles of one of us being dead, because it was getting that bad. Like Chris Benoit and Nancy; something crazy. It was dangerous, and I had never been in a relationship like that before.”

Tammy Sytch recently posted a series of tweets updating fans on the drama surrounding her personal life as of late.

In response to a fan mocking Sytch for her legal situation and the drama stemming from her relationship to independent pro wrestler Damien Darling, Sytch wrote, “[I’m] not ashamed to have gone to jail. when you beat the ass of the fiancee who cheats, you earn the ass kicking. I did my time…not ashamed in the least bit. It was a great learning experience and I am grateful for going through it. I learned about life, and had the time to pen my book, will be huge!”

Sytch continued to respond to fans. This time, Sytch talked about her case, where she was arrested multiple times for violating an order of protection against Darling. Sytch wrote, “The judge was on my side. thats why I wasn’t convicted or sentenced. I was there awaiting trial..and when the judge saw it my way, I was released. No parole, no probation, because she knew I wasn’t wrong. Maybe you should learn your facts before you talk about them. Court continuances and attorney changes are the only reasons I was there for 4 months. This was the same judge that [Darling] begged to have the protective order lifted in front of just 20 short days before my arrest that put me in jail. She knew he was full of sh** with the call on the PFA. Go to law school, do some research, then talk to me…until then…buh bye.”

After the fan kept at it, pointing out how many times Sytch had been arrested in recent months, Sytch replied by saying, “Read the book dear. I know you will. enjoy..ill sign you a copy :) and yes it was 6 times, love it. Read the book. Get the facts. Who calls the cops over an argument 20 days after proposing marriage? Not normal, stable people. Only the kind that I dealt with can you say “bi-polar”? an adult who cant have an adult argument is a straight up pu**y, when they have to get the cops involved,. Its fine tho, it really is. Karma is a mother f**king bitch. buh bye now.”

At this point, Darling was brought into the mix. Darling wrote, “Mental illness isn’t anyone’s fault, treatment however should be sort for, that is your responsibility. Get well.”

Darling then directed a comment towards Sytch herself, disagreeing with her side of the story. Darling wrote, “Her account of what happened is sooo inaccurate and out there, I’m actually worried about her….not worried worried, but like damn girl pull it together.”

It wasn’t over yet. Sytch responded to Darling’s comment, making accusations about supposed drug use and remarks about Darling’s current girlfriend. Darling responded to that by saying, “Enough! Not every relationship has to end in wars like your relationships Tammy.”

Next up was Sytch posting alleged text messages that supposedly proved Darling was still trying to be a part of Sytch’s life. This led to Sytch and Darling’s current girlfriend arguing back and forth. Sytch concluded by saying to Darling’s current girlfriend, “I’m done. I dont fight with words. Show up at one of my shows, then we’ll discuss it.”

Darling posted one final comment as well, in response to fans who were knocking Sytch on the social media platform. Darling concluded by saying, “You’re not going to get any hateful comments from me, I really wish Tammy well. Shes not right.”

WWE SummerSlam Spoilers

WWE Hall of Famer Sunny recently spoke to Hater Nation and explained why she and former WWE Diva Sable (Rena Lesnar) never got along:

“Basically with her, a lot of people think I had a professional jealously, or that’s what the heat was about, but that completely was not the case. She had her character and her role. I had my character and my role. They were completely different. I was like the all American girl next door that you wanted to bring home to mom and marry. She was like that racy, risqué kind of a girl that you wanted to bring to a hotel room for an hour and leave her on the curb. 

“We had completely different personalities, completely different characters. There was no professional jealousy at all. What it came down to is in all honesty, she’s really not a good person and that’s why I didn’t like her. She didn’t have any fans in the locker room and stuff because of her husband at the time, poor Marc. She said something in the girl’s locker room once that struck a really, really bad chord with me and Terri Runnels and from that day on, nobody had respect for her. 

“Basically it was this. She used to bring her eight year old daughter Mariah on the road. I knew that Marc Mero wasn’t Mariah’s dad. So I asked her one day in the locker room in front of Terri Runnels, where’s her real dad? She said oh, you know. He died when she was an infant. He was in a car accident. I said oh my God, I’m so sorry to hear that. This was her reply and this is why I lost all respect for her. She says no, it was the best thing that ever happened to me, because if he never would have died, I never would have met Marc. 

“So she said that about her husband and her baby’s father. That the best that ever happened to her was him dying so she would be able to meet Marc. And right then and there I lost all respect for the woman. I mean, that’s just the most selfish, cruel, horrible, inhumane thing to say. You should never be happy that someone that’s that important in your life died. It was just horrible. 

“Terri and I looked at each other like did she just say what we think she just said? And from that day on, that’s where she kind of buried herself with her personality and in the locker room with everyone because words got spread around and nobody had respect for her. 

This week on Because Wrestling, we talk about Ricardo Rodriguez’s suspension from WWE, Heyman’s father’s passing (more…)

– Speaking to Saint Cloud Minnesota News, Larry “The Axe” Hennig offered his thoughts on his grandson being remolded as Curtis Axel, which pays homage to the legendary AWA wrestler as well as “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig (son of Larry Hennig and father of Curtis Axel).

“He’s no overnight sensation,” said Hennig. “He’s been working hard the past five years to get where he’s at. And he deserves it.”

Hennig believes WWE would have cut ties with his grandson if he didn’t possess the talent necessary to become a player for the sports-entertainment organization.

“He’s representing a billion dollar company. You have to be good or you’re going to be gone. They can’t afford any misfires there,” said Hennig.

As for Larry himself, he and his wife run a real-estate business in St. Cloud, Minnesota, “Larry Hennig Auction and Realty.” To read the article, click here.

Earlier this week a video was released of WWE Hall of Famer Sunny talking about her recent stints in jail and rehab. Sunny had some negative things to say about WWE, despite the fact that they sent her to an expensive drug rehabilitation facility.

Sunny accused WWE of sending her to a nice facility simply because Linda McMahon was running for Senate at the time – and then sending her to a rundown dump facility as soon as Linda’s Senate campaign was over. She was particularly upset because the company kept sending Scott Hall to expensive, high-end rehab facilities. She says that when she brought this to their attention, they told her, “You’re not Scott Hall.”

WWE issued a statement to CagesideSeats.com this week and have now publicly stated that they will no longer fund rehab for Sunny. Here is their statement:

“As part of the Former Talent Rehabilitation Program, WWE has sent Ms. Sytch to rehabilitation numerous times, with all costs covered by WWE. Unfortunately, Ms. Sytch has continued to make poor personal choices and is ultimately responsible for the consequences of these decisions. WWE has always provided rehabilitation at a certified treatment center; however, given Ms. Sytch’s inability to change her lifestyle and successfully complete treatment, WWE will no longer fund her rehabilitation.”
