[
A controversy has emerged within Illinois’ independent wrestling community following Bull Bronson’s appearance on the podcast “Ringside Rivalries,” where he accused the host of crossing boundaries during an interview. Now, Victoria Sloan, the mother in a mother-daughter podcast duo, is voicing her thoughts on the matter.
Bronson alleged that the host asked him intimate questions despite his prior request to avoid such discussions, sparking a wider conversation about appropriate behavior in independent wrestling media. He shared his feelings about the uncomfortable experience on Facebook, stating it created tension in his marriage.
In a live video, Bronson explained that he had forewarned the host about his discomfort with sexual humor due to his marriage. While acknowledging his marital status as “separated,” he criticized the host for disregarding this and making inappropriate comments throughout the interview. Bronson expressed that he attempted to stay calm but now regrets not ending the conversation sooner.
According to Bronson, his wife reached out to the podcast team to have the video removed, but her request was met with indifference. He emphasized that had a male interviewer spoken to a woman in a similar manner, it would likely be deemed harassment, expressing regret for not halting the discussion earlier.
Tori Sloan countered Bronson’s narrative by stating that he willingly participated in the interview and had previously sent her a friendly message, asserting that she had evidence of his awareness of the podcast’s flirtatious nature. She mentioned that many wives of wrestlers have expressed discontent with their husbands’ behavior on the show, illustrating that such situations occur frequently.
Victoria Sloan, a member of the podcast, took to Facebook with a video addressing Bronson’s claims directly. She asserted, “I’m part of a scripted podcast called The Thrones Presents Ringside Rivalries. Recently, Bull Bronson attempted to tarnish my name with falsehoods. I’m here to clarify that while he claims I took down the podcast following a conversation with his wife, it was actually out of respect because the content was unfavorable, not because it was ever removed permanently.”
“In fact, I’ve recorded his live video so anyone interested can listen and compare the two, revealing the discrepancies in his story.”
Sloan further discussed an article from Ringside News that reported on the scandal, reaffirming her commitment not to let Bronson’s allegations damage her reputation. She acknowledged that her podcast has been a target in the past but insisted they are prepared for any backlash this time.
“It’s true that people have previously tried to scapegoat us, but we are ready this time. This won’t be the last time we face such challenges.”
Clearly displeased, Victoria concluded the video by addressing Bronson, saying, “You advised me to steer clear of this industry, but it would be better if you distanced yourself from me in life. Now, spread your lies, and I’ll reveal the truth.”
As of now, Bull Bronson has not responded publicly to the unfolding situation. Stay tuned for further updates.
