Ridge Holland takes a big step to hide from fans

Wrestling is a sport that is already prone to career-ending injuries. However, when fans discovered that Holland was involved in yet another incident that risked a wrestler’s career, they did not appreciate it. The unfortunate incident happened during the SmackDown tag team match between Pretty Deadly and Brawling Brutes.

During the match, one of Holland’s moves almost severely injured one of his opponents, Elton Prince, as reports revealed that he might’ve given Prince a separated shoulder.

Following all the hate that he received for the incident, Holland had to come clear on social media regarding the same. After making one last tweet, the wrestler decided to leave Twitter for the time being.

Frustrated with all the noise, the Brawling Brutes star defended himself by saying, “So to set people straight before they get all p*ssy! It wasn’t the belly to belly…..it was a wonky landing from the pounce. Out of my control. Wishing [Elton Prince] a speedy recovery.

This was his last update on the social media platform, following which he deactivated his account.

The hate from fans might have something to do with a previous incident that Holland was involved in.

The prime reason the fans were angry was perhaps because they might have received a flashback of the time Holland severely injured Big E by accident. This put the wrestler’s career at risk. Even though now he is recovering well, the new incident triggered wrestling fans.

Some fans started commenting about how Holland is a dangerous person to work with. Others also shed light on his belly-to-belly suplex, which was the stunt that injured Big E.

It looks like the wrestler’s plan to stay out of the public’s reach as much as possible is feasible. After the heat has dialed down, we could see him return to Twitter.
