Exclusive Video: Eric Dane Responds to Scott Stevens

Posted on August 24, 2025 by Iron City Press

ERIC DANE SR.:
Fourteen calls. Twenty-seven texts. All from the same desperate man.

Scotty, let me save you some time: I’m not answering. Not until you learn some damn respect.

I’ve been sittin’ at home, laid up after Chris Ross tried to end me in front of the world. While I’m healing, while my boy’s still taped together with spit and spite, you go out on UTA television and run down Iron City Wrestling like it’s a punchline. Like we’re the problem.

Let me remind you of somethin’, Stevens. The so-called embarrassment who walked out of Birmingham with the WrestleZone belt? That wasn’t just anyone. That was Graysie Parker. My champion. The Iron Crown winner. The ace of ICW. She didn’t sneak in the back door, she walked through the front and out-wrestled your golden boy clean. The belt is hers, and she carries it with pride for Iron City Wrestling.

And since you keep blowin’ up my line like you forgot, let me spell it out: UTA owes me. Big. The only reason I didn’t sue your company — and Chris Ross — into the dirt after WrestleUTA 25 is because I still have a shred of respect left for what we built once upon a time. If I wanted to, Scotty, I could have a judge sign away your next three paydays before lunch. But I didn’t. You’re welcome.

Truth is, I don’t have the time to waste on a yes-man. I’ve got a promotion to run, and I’ve got a school to keep turning out the next generation. When UTA wants to talk about Graysie Parker and the WrestleZone title? Rich Wingate can make that call himself.

So here’s the deal. You stop running down ICW on your TV, and maybe — maybe — I’ll consider answering the damn phone. Until then, you can leave as many voicemails as you want. I don’t take business calls from men who can’t keep their stories straight.

This Friday, I’m back where I belong — behind the desk at The Foundry. You want to keep chirping about Iron City? Fine. Just don’t be surprised when the Kingpin decides to chirp back.

ERIC DANE SR.:
Respect first, Stevens. Or you’ll get a reminder of why you should’ve never lost mine.

Dane flips the phone into a desk drawer, slams it shut, and the screen cuts to black.
