Independent wrestler Alex Ocean took to Twitter on Sunday and apologized for ripping Eddie Guerrero during Saturday’s ICW: No Holds Barred event. For those unaware, Ocean defeated Akira during the event and said “F**k Eddie Guerrero!” at one point during the match. His comments came on the day after the 15th anniversary of Eddie’s passing.
Ocean posted the following on Twitter, saying he regretted his comments:
“I would like to issue an apology for words spoken by me during last night’s show about the late Eddie Guerrero. During the heat of the moment I made a very tasteless comment in an attempt to attain cheap heat. I apologize to his family and everybody else I have offended. What I said was completely out of line, and I promise to do better going forward.”
(Part 2/2) What I said was completely out of line, and I promise to do better going forward.

When a fan asked him if he knew it was recently the anniversary of Eddie’s death, he said he did and was just trying to get “cheap heat.” He said,
“I did. We wanted to add things he did to pay our respects to him during the match. I was supposed to comment how I was better. Not what I ended up saying. I messed up.”
