TL;DR version:

"This woman was abused. She said I was one of the abusers. I can only speak of what I know to be true, and that is that she was well up for it when she was with me".

 

Inebriated teen was “well up for it”.

Being intoxicated doesn’t mean consent is automatic. Pretty sure the law sees it completely opposite.
not a good look for MS.

Looks like Chikara are closing due to #speakingout allegations against Quackenbush

Can we have a description of that or are you just posting links again?

I thought this site puts up previews of the links? Seems to for many posts

That is some grim, grim footage on that Bella girls twitter. 

Just 3 absolute weirdo losers hanging out in a bleak hotel room together sending offensive videos.

I assume SPLX brand is now cancelled?

That Starr video is just horrible. Worse kind of misogynistic talk and comes across as a threat to the woman for speaking up for herself.

Davies’ statement is incredibly threatening. “Grow a pair”? That’s a call out for a physical fight. It’s an example of exactly what the problem has been in the industry.

Nail on the head. 

This industry needs people from the outside to come in and start asking questions such as "what is your safeguarding policy?" or - more importantly to most things - "Why the fuck are you doing that??"

But then again, who on earth gives a shit about British Wrestling enough to do that? This is why this kind of shit can happen and continue to happen. Because nobody cares.

But some of us do have real world experience to bring. And speaking for myself I have zero interests in any current company or employers whether financial or social or otherwise. 

As someone from the film industry, we’ve already been through this. 
 

I’d be happy to help and be part of a conversation about what promotions/schools do now from this point forward. Haven’t worked in promoting since 2003 so not affiliated with anyone on the circuit now.

as an experienced film producer (HR and H&S would come under my job remit) I am the First port of call for any member of my cast and crew to come to if ever they feel something is wrong, inappropriate or bullying and it’s been my job to sort it out, talk to the people involved and make sure there’s a happy environment behind the camera.

That mad man Manson video is bonkers. 

Either way they're on the list - and not everyone will have seen the denouncement.

Looking for same thing as everyone I guess - proper justice. 

Yes it’s crazy.the original youtube video is now locked as private

Who do they prosecute?

Police don’t prosecute. They collate their evidence and send it to the Crown Prosecution Service who will assess the evidence supplied and recommend whether the police should make an arrest or not.

Police are involved, the made up accusations will unravel as they get behind the stories they think are worth more investigations

Sean Ross as in the guy behind the Fightful website? 

Be wary of this list. Women behind #speakingoutmovement do not endorse this list. They are compiling all allegations, names and speaking with police.

Former FWA and BritWres female worker Jetta just posted a long statement on twitter telling us how Jonny Storm, Hade Vansen, Brian Dixon and Colt Cabana are fucking creepy nonce cases.

Just read it now. Horrendous story.

timeline appears to be after I had already left FWA management. I just hope if anything had happened under my watch talent would have felt I could have been approached if something is not right with them.

Will this be available for download after it's aired? 

I think they have catchup on the TalkSPORT phone app

The ExposeWrestling twitter profile is now gone

Throw a grenade, no context, just a list. And run away. Seems they know they f’ed up as that’s not doing #speakingout any service or credibility. And in fact damages the real abuse stories by chucking in names associated with mental health and bad behaviour. 

Wrestling Observer Live radio show right now discussing speakingout 

WWE statement similar to Progress:

Ok. This has been exhausting just trying to keep up.

need to switch off social media for now.

it’s sad that this is the only way victims feel they can be heard. That needs to change. Promoters need to have an open door to listen in confidence to anyone who has a concern, allegation or proof of abuse (whether it’s sexual, mental or physical).

good night, no doubt there will be more catch up in the morning
