Jordan Myles Says His Tweets Were “Disrespectful and Unprofessional”

Jordan Myles took to Instagram to comment on his tweets yesterday.

“My tweets yesterday were completely disrespectful and were unprofessional,” he said. He then attempted to further explain what he was feeling, saying, “The anger I have inside of me has been built up for years now” and the t-shirt situation got him “emotionally charged up,” which “triggered past emotions.”

While many wrestlers supported Myles for his original grievance over the WWE t-shirt design, he got some backlash for later attacking ROH wrestler Jay Lethal. In a deleted tweet, Myles said, “Fuck ROH TOO! They only allowed ONE African American to be the ‘Top Guy’ while guys like @CedricAlexander TD, @Malcolmvelli and myself had to chase this visible carrot a stick. Name another African American who was reached great heights there other than this Uncle Tom.” The tweet included a pic of Jay Lethal.

Titus O’Neil and Booker T were two notable wrestlers who pushed back against the shot at Lethal.

@GoGoMyles I AM 100% in agreement that the shirt is very Distasteful.
That being said, bringing others into this to vent your frustrations or Issues THAT HAVE NOTHING to do with @WWE or the shirt is also very Distasteful. If it’s #ForTheCulture Don’t attack those in it!! 👊🏿✊🏿

Here’s the post that Myles made on Instagram:

My tweets yesterday were completely disrespectful and were unprofessional.‬

‪I have offend a ton of people and used anger to fuel me. ‬ ‪With that being said.. ‬ ‪I’d like to take this time to state an apologize for not giving a shit about what others think of me. ‪The anger I have inside of me has been built up for years now. Call me what you want, but you’ll never EVER be able to call me fake.‬ ‪ I’ve been lied too, used, and often mistreated by others who I viewed as associates.‬ ‪I’ve tipped toe around, kept quiet, even took some Ls when necessary. Emotionally charged up due to the shirt which triggered past emotions. I’m never going to be sorry for being me nor will I take back my words.‬ ‪I’m the damn professional wrestler in the WORLD & universe today.‬ ‪My ribs are touching and I’m tired of waiting. Time to snatch plates from those that have been eating far too long and always gets seconds while guys like myself have to eat crumbs from the floor like an unwanted child.‬ ‪For 4 years .. I gave my all to a promotion only to find out that you could only reach so high just as long as you didn’t surpass certain “people”.. I never begged for anything, I never kissed no ass, nor did rub elbows with the right ppl to get ahead. I HUSTTLED, WORKED HARD. ‪I didn’t call Hunter [ROH booker Hunter Johnson] everyday to get booked in New Japan (s/o to NJPW) I earned it.‬ ‪I’ve always wanted to be “The Guy” and of no one will allow me to be in that spot.. I shall blaze my own trail to that spot rather it be by the approval of others or not.‬ ‪Today i shall continue to go the distance. Today I shall Lee moving forward. Today I shall rise up from my past ashes like a Dark Phoenix and promote change in this industry.‬ ‪Remember these words ‪I AM THE BEST IN THE WORLD! AND NO MAN OR WOMAN WILL STOP ME FROM BEING HONEST.‬ ‪GO THE DISTANCE…‬ ‪
