I thought it wasn’t their problem. I mean, good they did it but why put out the former statement before doing the latter? If WWE did that same thing, people would be rightfully f***ing furious.

Fight Factory Pro Wrestling is the first Irish promotion to hire an Garda (Police) Liason Officer for its school, which would mean all incidents can be reported to them anonymously before setting up an investigation.

You'll need to dig fairly deep within the cesspool that is Twitter right now, but allegations about EAW who are small promotion and school based in Kettering have come to light. Their promoter Nick Ashberry is looking like he's trying to beat David Starr to the worst response to allegations award.
I had a loose connnection to this group many years ago, and let's just say, I'm not surprised.

Not to make light of anything but it feels like a long week when you realize that “OK Boomer”gate was Tuesday and all this kicked off two days later.
And one of the people “affected” was accused by someone of bullying.

I’m saying Mikey Whiplash somehow pre-dug a grave before giving people the opportunity to push him in. Speaking of him, he’s been stripped off the TNT Extreme Division Championship as of today.

This guy is an idiot.

You know who the smartest people in British wrestling are? The GZRs, sold a ton of merch, memed their way into the hottest promotions at the time and when they saw how shit the industry was spoke up and f***ed off.

Fight Factory Pro Wrestling is the first Irish promotion to hire an Garda (Police) Liason Officer for its school, which would mean all incidents can be reported to them anonymously before setting up an investigation. To follow up on this, someone let Zack Gibson about these policies (he runs the Fighting Spirit school) and it seems like he'll be looking to implement something similar in the future.

Man, a lot of promotions are showing good signs and putting out statements or intentions and at least we can see where things are when shows come back.
...and then there's PROGRESS. Jesus...

I can only assume this is an attempt at self-sabotage on the part of Progress so that their business becomes unsustainable and WWE has to activate their buyout clause.
No one could be this witless and tone-deaf.

No one could be this witless and tone-deaf. Man, you’d like to think that but reading a few of those statements in response to accusations...

I've stated elsewhere, but for me Progress is scorched earth now. Their response has been appalling as is the companies clear involvement in indulging the worst behaviours of its wrestlers.

They called their post The Darkest Timeline.
Like, f*** them completely from that alone.

Does anyone think that BritWres can recover from this? Even if WWE wasn't involved; I can't imagine that, even if shows were running, that people would want to go to them anymore and I wouldn't blame them.
