Snitsky's back acne Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 10 hours ago, BrodyGraham said: Liam Slater and Nathan Black. Were either of them named? No idea. Sadly, this is the problem when someone makes vague statements on social media. It creates un-necessary speculation.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted April 9, 2021 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 9, 2021 The report has made it onto The Guardian website, though the focus is more on the classification of wrestling than Speaking Out in itself.

Yeah, that's what's made headlines across most outlets, which isn't particularly helpful. Though the scope of the report is much bigger than Speaking Out, and I think the "classed as a sport for training but not for shows" recommendation is solid.

Yeah, I've nothing against that classification at all, it's maybe one of the best ways of explaining what makes wrestling "sports entertainment".

I was really disappointed to see British Wrestling - the governing body for amateur wrestling - immediately issue a statement rejecting it out of hand, based purely on a very woolly definition of sport (under which barely any training, martial arts, or a great number of youth programmes would qualify as "sport" either) rather than taking it on its merits. If training schools were classed as sport, that would provide safeguarding and protections that aren't currently in place, would potentially allow schools to seek funding and government support, and perhaps most importantly would mean that they were registered - which would, in turn, have the effect of making any unregistered training schools inherently less reputable, so people would be better positioned to make informed decisions.

Guest Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) To avoid derailing this thread with topics not relating to #SpeakingOut, there's now a separate one posted here about the APPG report as a whole.  Edited April 9, 2021 by Uncle Zeb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum1993 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Pete Dunne tweeted earlier that as a result of the Pandemic and the Speak Out movement that Attack! Pro Wrestling won’t be returning. Been to many great Attack! Shows over the years so it’s disappointing but very understandable given the number of people that were used in Attack! That were named in the Speak Out movement. You’d hope if British indies continue that there’ll be some sort of vetting system going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherCrapUsername Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 The FlatLiner Chris Mann has had a what I would say is an allegation that he shit on a disabled fans car. Â I say I would say it's an allegation, however the dumb fuck admitted it live on Instagram and someone recorded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted April 14, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted April 14, 2021 I don’t think social media is for Flatliner, between that and him getting absolutely burned by Toni Storm a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 14, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted April 14, 2021 Cant blame the Flatliner, though. He's only a young lad. Needs time to mature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted April 14, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted April 14, 2021 I feel like the best rebuttal to Twitter claiming your gimmick is an old man who shits through a bag is definitely to take a shit live on Instagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Moo had a carrier pigeon fly to his house once with a note attached to its foot intended to put it on here, but that's about it. I imagine Flatliner's still trying to figure out how to get Channel 5 tuned in. Edited April 14, 2021 by IANdrewDiceClay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
