NxT UK's Jordan Devlin accused of assault

[lucas_lee]

Coming from the massive amounts of women speaking out today, Jordan Devlin is now amongst the wrestlers being accused. Allegedly he physically assaulted her. I have her twitter post that shows her bruises

I didn't really expect Enzo to be given a run for his money as it came to Cruiserweight champions but...

Goddamn what a day this has been. Holy shit.

Oof, damn!

[Mozenrath]

Good thing they crowned an interim champion, since yeah, sounds like that may be that much more prudent now.

As for this dude Devlin, f*** him. He's horrible. Get rid of him, lock him up, get him outta here.

What is it about wrestling that attracts bullies, predators and scumbags? I thought this type of shit was a hangup of the old 1980s territory days and people were better than this now??

Seems like David Starr's accusation opened the floodgates. Good lord.

I met Devlin at an ICW show a few years ago. Couldn’t have been nicer to the point where I felt guilty for not buying any of his merch.

Needless to say after the stuff that’s came out today I’m glad the piece of shit didn’t get any of my money.

I’m not one for trial by social media usually (twitter in particular is the worst) but wow, the stuff coming out since the Starr accusations is horrible.

There’s clearly a real problem with how women are treated in the business and also the fact that until it’s posted on social media, people in the business seem totally oblivious to it. Or it’s some dirty secret.

I knew something was up when they removed "interim" from the cruiser tournament midway through.

I don't think that's connected, he's still listed as co-champion on the site.

......did she report it to the police?

Congrats to now undisputed NXT Cruiserweight champ Santos Escobar.


In seriously though, Screw Devlin

A big comedian just got outed too. Chris D’Elia. I’m assuming when something is an industry that’s a “boy’s club” they tend to treat women poorly.

It's unfortunately not that simple. There are predator and bullies throughout much of society. Entertainers being outed are only part of it, and this kind of thing will keep on happening, particularly as long as enablers help people keep getting away with it.

Not so much Devlin's case, but a lot of the abuse being described I don't think is a wrestling-specifc issue. If you give men a little bit of status, there seem to be more than a few who come up very short with how they treat women. Same goes for comedians, musicians and I'm sure various other professions too. It's not good.

What in the holy hell is going on today with all the wrestlers from England?!?

[kingoftheindies]

in a cruel sense of irony Devlin is actually very close to David Starr

I guess now we know why the interim Cruiserweight Championship was no longer INTERIM during the tournament... I don't think Devlin's coming back from this either.

This year for wrestling has been f***ed dude.

Honestly they only did that because they didnt know when the travel restrictions were gonna be lifted. On the website he's still listed as a co champion
