Okay, so being a long-time poster on FAN who is a woman, I have experienced a few members act creepy towards me. I don't like talking about this because I feel very uncomfortable. One of my female friends who used to post on FAN experienced the same with a poster. I'm going to guess other female members here have had the same happen.

I encourage you and any others who have dealt with this to come to me in private via PM to alert me to anything of this nature you feel is inappropriate. While we have tried our best to make this place as safe as possible, I am not naive and know that we have not done enough on that front. I do not want anyone to be afraid of posting here because of the actions of other posters.

In 2017, I offered a meet-up at Chikara King of Trios in Wolverhampton because I knew we both were going to be there. Kinda glad he didn't reply now.

Yes, and if I can speak freely as a long term poster this board got slammed on twitter a bit after the Max Landis stuff occurred. Yet I know the mods here have worked hard to make this a more open space for others to feel comfortable and I hope the former members affliation doesn't taint the reputation of the board.

One thing that never sat well with me was how he’d talk about his personal experiences with these female wrestlers and talk them up everything, but also lust after them. I couldn’t do that with people I’ve personally met and interacted with.
He also had a pretty obvious fetish, but I don’t want to kink shame him for that. It was just so noticeable.
Hopefully he didn’t make any female posters here feel uncomfortable.

I saw a tweet by retired Indy wrestler Jayla Dark mentioning him by name and twitter handle, saying how much of creep he was at live events. I thought the twitter handle looked familiar so I checked and I saw that he followed my account (I didn’t follow him, think I did years ago but I unfollowed for some reason.. I think it was he posted a lot and was spamming the feed)
The signs were there, and I feel bad for the people he victimised.
Good riddance to bad trash

What also makes me angry about this is that this is a guy that was in a very privileged position in terms of being able to go to a LOT of shows in the UK, mainland Europe and even the US every year. And THIS is what he chose to do with such privilege?

Always thought he was a decent chap and knew his stuff. Its so depressing to read how people like this could get away with these disgusting acts for so long, i feel awful for the women and men who have had this happen to.

I need to be careful with my words here, because there are others here that are big fans of women's wrestling and I'm sure that 99.9% of them are genuine fans and decent people to boot. I don't want to tar everyone with the same brush. And I also want to make clear that I don't think there's anything wrong with commenting on how attractive a female wrestler is, provided that you are respectful and not trashy about it.
But yeah, I always thought there was something about the guy that made me feel uneasy, and I'm not at all surprised by these allegations. His posts would sometimes really push the boundaries of taste, and he seemed really obsessive about some of the girls.
And I am downright furious that it has affected some of the female posters here at FAN, and even driven someone away. Please, if anybody here is being harassed, report it to a mod. And feel free to DM me if you ever need to talk.

I see firsthand through she and my wife the extra struggles females have, and the idea of anyone being taken advantage of for being a woman just doesn't fly with me. I'm sorry that garbage happened to you.

The internet culture of guys being creepy towards female wrestlers is pretty embarrassing. Like I thought that died out, but there's still very toxic places on the internet that do it(not going to name them because I don't want to give them attention.)
Like, when it comes to modern WWE, I actually prefer the women's division, but it's because I usually find them to be better wrestlers than lots of the guys. Now I'm paranoid that people are gonna think I'm a creep because of my avatar. Which I'm not.
Also, I couldn't imagine being shameless enough to actually take creepy pics of the wrestlers while they're performing. And I'm not even just talking about the guy this thread is about, because I don't even think I knew of him or ever interacted with him. I'm talking about everyone who has done it.
Just ew.

Which is what, allegedly? Do the leg work if you're interested, no need to go into it here I couldn't find anything. ...Then I realized that I was looking up former CZW personality Maven Bentley for 30 minutes, not Martin. Whoops.

I'm sorry that garbage happened to you. I understand completely. Kids are growing up today on social media and it’s so scary. You have to be extra careful with who they talk to and what they browse.

It's times like these I remember we're the board that chased Lufisto off by being creepy and that we're hopefully moving in a direction where that won't happen again.
