ROB VAN DAM COMMENTS ON DARK SIDE OF THE RING, SAYS 'CREATIVE EDITING' WAS IN PLAY

WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam took to Twitter to comment on the Dark Side of The Ring's Plane Ride from Hell, noting:

"Just watched DSOTR. Heavy. Some insight for those who can handle it-

1) I haven’t seen Ric Flair’s d***. My comment about fans shouldn’t see him doing the helicopter was a response to DSOTR telling me that’s what they were told. They shouldn’t. I don’t want to see it either.

2) I said “trying to make her touch him” referring to his body crowding her space and her backing up like bad breath was in her face.I thought maybe they were playing(from seeing a similar scene at the hotel bar) but I wasn’t interested in naked Ric. Still ain’t. I tried to sleep."

A fan then responded to Van Dam asking, "Can you confirm to us, to the best of your recollection Rob, did you see Ric Flair specifically grab her hand and place it on his genitals? This is what the majority of people believe you've said. Looking for a one time tweet out there for clarification for everyone."

Van Dam responded:

"I can confirm I didn’t see that and I didn’t say that. Creative editing will have people hearing it different ways."

A fan then brought up Van Dam's specific words on the episode, to which Van Dam explained:

On the episode, flight attendant Heidi Doyle alleged that Ric Flair, naked sans his robe, came into the Galley in the back of a WWE chartered jet to get a coke and backed her up against the wall, then made her hand touch his genitals, something Flair has denied ever happened.  The episode appeared to feature Rob Van Dam confirming this story, which based on his comments here, Van Dam is stating he did not confirm.  Van Dam stated on Twitter he did not see what happened at the back of the plane:
