DJ Hyde is the latest pro wrestler to come under fire for a homophobic slur.
The CZW owner was cutting a promo prior to his match against Casanova Valentine at the Tender Trap in Brooklyn. A yelled, "Fuck you" to which Hyde responded by saying, ?Why do you want to fuck me? You stupid fucking f*ggot. When did Tender Trap become a gay bar??
Pro Wrestling Sheet reached out to Hyde, who issued an apology.
?I?m very upset I said it, more than you know. I don?t want to make any excuses," said Hyde. "I regret it so much. I?m not a bigot, a racist or a homophobe. It was wrong of me.?
Hyde called his comments "very regrettable" and apologized for his "poor choice of words."
CZW has yet to issue a statement and Hyde ignored the matter on social media following the event.
