I sure hope Pete isn't out there fronting about this while someone is waiting to find it within themselves to post their story about him.
Because Jack Sexsmith has managed to make himself look even worse than your average abuser.

Well no one from the UK scene is above suspicion at the moment, sadly But given the platform he has as one of the UK’s most famous wrestlers, he’d surely have to be the stupidest man alive to be out speaking about his disgust about all this if he had some real skeletons in the closet

True, well time will tell I suppose Truthfully, I'm just hoping against hope that with the sheer volume of the names accused last night, we've reached the extent of it and there are no other names of abusers/controllers/criminals/creeps left to reveal (from the UK scene at least). Then again, Wolfgang got outed like 15 minutes ago so I realise I'm being incredibly naive.

We're all hoping our favourites don't end up being the next one. And that's okay too. It's scary. Obviously, our primary thoughts have to be with the survivors, but that doesn't make us an asshole for being bummed if a wrestler we like turns out to be a rapist too.

Wow. Getting ever closer to the main roster. I fully expect a name guy to be implicated at this point.
What a POS, bro.

Well, I guess good thing he never officially made his main roster debut and got taken off of NXT. If this is true, that's another career that's basically over. A shame, all the talent in the world but this dudes attitude always felt off and this just proves those vibes correct. Later, Bro. I think his main roster debut is taped and airs tonight.

I think lists are in pretty bad taste, personally. The things these guys are accused of range from being creepy assholes, to rape and sexual assault. And the levels of corroboration varies from incredibly detailed statements from well known people in the industry, backed up with screenshots as proof, to vague anonymous accusations (Darby Allin, Marty Scurll).
I get people are shocked and upset, they have every right to be. But putting everyone in the same boat unfairly elevates some wrongdoing, while allowing the most serious cases to hide amongst the noise.

Only positive to come out of this thread is learning what a stand up guy Sheamus is, even if it is sad that we have to praise him for doing something all men should be doing anyway.

Sheamus being a stand up guy doesn't surprise me. He's always given off that kind of vibe when not in character. Riddle being a colossal piece of shit, if the allegations are true, doesn't surprise me either.

I guess at least so far, there's one bright spot in Sheamus. At a UK indie show before his WWE stint began, Allison Danger was in the women's locker room when an indie wrestler she can no longer remember the name of entered the women's shower, saying the line for the men's was too long and the women would enjoy the view. The women told him to leave, but he wouldn't. Sheamus, who has been alerted, came in and chucked the guy out in a hurry and sent him scrambling. Sheamus has always seemed like a genuinely good dude in the business, I only hope that continues to be the case. It’s kinda funny how Sheamus keeps playing the big bully heel, yet seems like a nice dude out of kayfabe.
