Controversy broke out in the Illinois indie wrestling scene after Bull Bronson appeared on the Ringside Rivalries podcast and later claimed the interview crossed the line. Now, Victoria Sloane, the mother in the mother-daughter duo, is speaking out.

Bronson said the hosts asked sexually charged questions after he told them he did not want that kind of conversation. His comments sparked a wider debate about conduct in independent wrestling media. He addressed the situation on Facebook, saying the interview made him uncomfortable and created tension at home with his wife.

In his live video, Bull Bronson said that he warned the hosts before the interview that he did not want sexual jokes or comments because he was married. Bull said that people knew about his marriage issues, and it should be noted that his public relationship status is now “separated.” He claimed the hosts ignored this and continued making remarks he felt were inappropriate. He then said he tried to stay calm and professional, but now believes he should have ended the interview.

Bull Bronson went on to say his wife contacted the podcast to ask for the video to be removed and was met with a dismissive response. Bronson added that if a male interviewer spoke that way to a woman, it would be labeled harassment, and he expressed regret for not stopping the conversation himself.

Tori Sloane responded by saying Bronson willingly joined the interview and had messaged them in a friendly way beforehand. She claimed she had screenshots showing he was aware of the show’s flirtatious tone. Tori also said many wives have been upset at their behavior on the show and that this situation was not unusual.

Victoria Sloane, one of the members of the Ringside Rivalries podcast, logged onto Facebook, where she dropped a video to address this situation head-on.

“For those of you who don’t know, I play a part in a scripted podcast called The Sloanes present Ringside Rivalries, and recently an independent wrestler by the name of Bull Bronson took it upon himself to go live on his Facebook page to spread lies about me. Well, I’m here to say enough is enough and set the record straight. According to Mr. Bronson, when you asked us to take the podcast down when your wife approached me and told me that you had left her in the dark, I took it down out of respect to her, but that doesn’t mean it was deleted.” “In fact, now, it awaits patiently next to the live video that you put out, and I screen recorded, so anyone who is really interested in listening can compare the two, so everyone can see what we’re talking about that every word that came out of your mouth during that live is nothing but a bald-faced lie.”

Victoria Sloane then mentioned Ringside News’ article on this scandal, and how we said that they are not backing down. She doubled-down on that bold statement, and confirmed that she won’t let this situation slide, one where her reputation was soiled by what she claims are lies out of Bull Bronson’s bearded mouth.

She then went on to address some of the comments on Bull Bronson’s post. Victoria Sloane confirmed that her podcast has been used as a scapegoat in the past, but this time they’re ready for it.

“You know what Ringside News? You are absolutely right! Some of those commenters, they’re right, this isn’t the first time that someone has tried to use us as their scapegoat. But, I’m gonna tell you, this time we were prepared. It may not be the first, but I’m gonna guarantee that this is the last.”

Victoria Sloane was not happy, to say the least. She seemed serious, and although no direct threats were laid out, she concluded her video to address Bull Bronson directly by saying, “Bull Bronson, you said that I shouldn’t f*ck with me in this industry, but you shouldn’t f*ck with me in this lifetime. Go ahead, and spread your lies, and I’ll go ahead and spread your truth.”
