Kongo Kong Issues Statement On Assault Allegations

As part of the ongoing #SpeakingOut movement on social media, former Impact Wrestling star Kongo Kong (real name Steven Wilson) was accused of abuse.

Kong was accused by independent wrestler Kyle Boone of abuse on social media. Kong has since responded to the allegations.

“@TheKyleBoone We live in a different society than when I started in this business and back then, it wasn’t uncommon to rib rookies. I certainly didn’t intend for it to hurt you at all, let alone as bad as it did. I sincerely apologiz for hurting you so bad. Our relationship since then and up until now gave no indication that there was any animosity between us as it was all hugs and smiles, that I knew of. We’ve even worked together since then, at my request and you were taken care of during said matches. If I had any clue that you felt like that, then I definitely would have squashed it then. As I told all of you young ones I only pick on people I like and see something in. Again, never my intention to hurt or scar you by any means and I sincerely apologize. I hope we can hash this out between us like adults.”
