DAVID SAHADI STATEMENT ON RECENT ARREST

By Mike Johnson on 2026-03-24 18:44:00

David Sahadi, the former WWF and TNA Producer and Director was arrested in Hamilton County, TN on 2/10 on charges of stalking, PWInsider.com learned today when a reader sent a link to Sahadi's mugshot that was posted online.

PWInsider.com reached out to Sahadi for comment and received back the following statement:

“This matter began as a personal dispute between individuals who had known each other for years—this was not random criminal behavior, but a situation that escalated. What followed led to an unjust arrest based on allegations we believe to be false. The charges were dismissed at pre-trial and are in the process of being expunged. Mr. Sahadi, through counsel, is pursuing a civil action in excess of seven figures for defamation, corporate negligence, and the resulting harm.”

PWInsider.com has reached out to the local authorities for a statement.

Sahadi released a memoir about his life and career this month titled Backstage Pass, which recently topped the Amazon chart.   Sahadi now directs and produces Real American Freestyle.
