There’s another post from Riddle’s accuser with more screenshots, including one from Riddle’s wife. Two sides to everything but she’s the one providing evidence right now.

The replies are ripping it apart about dates and faking the texts etc

I don’t think it’ll favour Riddle to get into a argument about claims of Rape on his Twitter page considering he’s employed by WWE

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

Been looking through Reddit just now and the amount of accounts of abuse or inappropriateness are harrowing and disturbing.

Britwtes fan Martin Bentley (who posts on here as @themib) has been implicated for taking inappropriate photos of female wrestlers and sharing them online.

 

If it’s the same guy I’m thinking of, he got thrown off the Freakin’ Awesome Network forum (the former Wrestlecrap one) yesterday when his name came to light. Posted on there as Steveweisers

'posted' rather than 'posts', he hasn't logged on in nearly 5 years and only joined the year before that. Let's not make associations with characters like this when it's not really valid.

To an extent, yes - as an employer (Progress with it's 'they're not our responsibility when they aren't at a show' bollocks can piss off) they need to be open to listening to complaints and act accordingly. When it's more serious though such as an actual physical assault or rape - not to belittle harassment and bullying -  we should have a society where women feel comfortable and confident that they can report the matter to the police without worrying about being made to feel like a liar and being shunned by people who side with the defendant. It shouldn't be on an employer to handle something like that directly as a first point of contact, that's a criminal matter.

Mt apologies, I hadn't realised (and should have checked that). I just remembered seeing the username on here previously.

No worries, it's just the more implicated we are (indirectly) by this then the more chance this thread has to be locked/deleted which will be a headache for the mods. Obv if a current/regular/historically prolific user were to be implicated then there'd be no avoiding it and rightly so but hopefully it doesn't' come to that.

In all the grimness this couldn't help but raise a wry smile.

 

Chuckled out loud reading that. Some folks won't let it go! 😂
