Ohohoho. And the other day I was wondering how the wrestlers in the UK were doing. Apparently a good portion might be involved in an industry sized scandal. I hope pete dunne isn't one of the perps. I don't think riddle could take it.

Even the goddamn referees are at it There is another twitter with over 40 names on it and what makes one sickening is the ref came out as an abuse survivor and getting applause for it yet he was just another pervert on the scene almost like he timed it to get sympathy

I do think that the lockdown's had an impact on this. With the industry basically frozen until god knows when, I think a lot of people have used the time to overcome the barriers preventing them from speaking up.

I think there's a bigger conversation to be had here once this all passes about the wrestling business stunting the emotional development of a lot of these guys when they enter the business as children themselves. It's no coincidence that a lot of these names that are being brought up have been involved with wrestling since their mid-teens.

I just deleted a tweet accusing Devlin because mobile app keeps embedding what's basically a butt pic of the girl cataloguing her bruises and its linked better in WWE main, just alerting people to that one anyway because Devlin is still major in UK and Ireland, including being the current Progress Tag Champ.

This is disgusting. All of this needs to be out there, no more 'open secrets' in wrestling, no more wrestlers just laughing and ignoring the predators and abusers in their midst. If you say nothing when you know someone's a creep, you're making it easier for them to keep on doing what they're doing.
I feel for the victims, hopefully this will result in the guilty parties being booted.

Not had a chance to check YouTube yet but I wonder how the main UK wrestling sites (Wrestletalk, Cultaholic ect) are going to cover this.

They also said they wouldn't be booking David Starr and Marc Parry anymore, who they don't book anymore anyway. Really taking a hard line there.
