Kevin Sullivan will appear on the Jim Cornette Experience podcast to respond to matters raised in VICE's recent Dark Side of the Ring documentary on Chris Benoit.

Cornette confirmed this during podcast's most recent episode, with Sullivan set to outline why he refused to participate in the VICE show while diving into his relationship with Nancy Benoit, whom he was married to until she left him for Chris.

Dark Side of the Ring alleged that Kevin and Nancy's relationship had turned abusive towards the end. Sullivan refuted these allegations, but wasn't on the show itself.

Nancy Benoit broke into the business alongside Sullivan and was brought into his old stable of kayfabe Satanists, touring the United States before finding more fixed homes in ECW and WCW. It was in the latter that she met Chris, sparking an extramarital affair while she was still married to Sullivan, their on-air dalliances become a real-life thing as they played out on television screens around the world. As such, it is often stated that Sullivan "booked his own divorce."

As Sullivan was incredibly close to the situation, his perspective should prove interesting. The podcast will be released on 10 April.
