Jayla Dark shared a story she was given of treatment given to trainees at WAW and, whilst not as horrific as some of the others show an attitude that desperately needs to change in training up and coming talent.

Seems to match a lot of the stories coming out about other trainers are wrestling schools. It's sad to see people go out of their way to break potential wrestlers and then if issues are brought up people shrug and say "That's paying your dues". I've always found it odd how for in an industry where you are putting your well being into the hands of someone else, a lot of wrestlers (especially when training) seem to get pleasure in beating the crap out of people.

I've only heard about the stuff involving Paige and even from that, yeah, this isn't surprising.

There needs to be a reckoning with these trainers and wrestling schools. It's a culture of toxicity, abuse, and hazing euphemised as "paying your dues."

Its more Ricky Knight and his sons than Saraya but still, no surprise.

I was honestly waiting for the Knights to get blasted as soon as I saw a lot of the British Wrestling Scene getting the same, not shocked at all.

For as much as Fighting with my Family tried to glamorize them (if that's the right word to use), i always got the impression that they really are just a bunch of knackers so this isn't the most surprising.

Yeah there are gonna be some stories that are gonna come out of wrestling schools that may stun people. Not all will be sexual abuse but some of the punishment that some of these schools dish out is pretty much just an excuse to bully people while taking their money

By the way I wouldn't bring this up but I know someone is going to ask, I worked a few shows for them in 2013/2014 but I trained in my home town because I live in the North.
I never saw any of this but I fully believe it's true, and I'm done having any shred of a connection with them.

Yep I don't doubt any of the allegations being made but the amount of snobbery and classism I see any time the Knights are brought up turns my stomach.

And with everything going on, it wasn't very likely she was going to have her final matches anyway. She basically said "You can't fire me, I quit!"

She's been talking about giving it up since her grandkid debuted.
