Former WWE/ECW star Justin Credible confronted by Maven over accusations of scamming fans

In a video published to YouTube, former WWE/ECW star Justin Credible was confronted by fellow wrestler Maven over accusations of scamming fans. The two sat down and Credible addressed claims of accepting money for merchandise but never shipping items out…

“I don’t have cash right now to do it, but we’ll work something out. If you want it, you deserve it. You paid for it. I’m embarrassed, but there’s nothing else I can do. Again, I’m not trying to [run] scams. Even that word hurts my feelings because there was never an intention of a scam. It’s not like an operation. I’m trying to just feed my wife. Do you think the first thing I’m going to worry about is that didn’t get my [shipment] out Friday? Well, Pro Wrestling Tees also doesn’t send your ship in two or three weeks. Believe me, I’m just saying. A lot of it could have been done differently. If you meet me in an arena or anywhere in life, you could ask anybody in this building, anywhere, I’m a good man. I’m an honest guy. I have flaws, but everybody still loves me in the business; I’m not a bad person. I’ve done some things that I’m not proud of.”

The video also includes an update from Maven about the situation…

“It’s been two weeks since we had a chance to sit down with Justin, and Justin addressed the allegations and admitted that changes were necessary, necessary not only to better his life, but the lives of all those around him and I left excited at a new opportunity and hopeful for the future of Justin Credible. Sadly, I’ve recently received information from a trusted source indicating that Justin has not changed, leading me to believe that there may have been more truth to the allegations than Justin let on. This source informed me that Justin has already been a no-show on several commitments he was scheduled for and even asked to borrow money with no signs of repayment, followed by a litany of excuses. Personally, this does sadden me, and it doesn’t sadden me because Justin owes me anything; he doesn’t. It saddens me because I recognize Justin has scammed fans and he has lied to promoters. But the real reason it saddens me is because I recognize just how fleeting second chances truly are, and I know that one day, Justin’s second chances are more than likely gonna run out. I will always be Justin’s friend, but he has wronged people, and it’s up to him to make amends. Justin, the ball is in your court.” (quotes courtesy of Robert DeFelice)
