People say that WALTER was against moving to the US, and I'm sure he said that, but that was quite a while ago. He's been treated well by the company for a fair bit now, and they can offer A LOT of money to change someone's mind.

Compared to where the scene was before the renaissance happened, it was booming by comparison. In a span of about 2 years (2013-2015), ICW went from holding one of the big events with around 1200 in attendance to getting 4000 based on a quick search.
Even if its not big or really noticeable growth, Australia grew enough in recent times to catch both WWE and NJPW's eyes. |

A boom in comparison is such a relative term, haha.

Do you want to offer another term other than “boom” so that we can move past the semantic argument?

I don’t really want to read through 13 pages. Can someone break down who’s been outed as a nonce and who’s been outed as dickheads?
I know Sammy Guevara is suspended but that’s all I’m aware of. |

The worst offender (so far) seems to be Joey Ryan. Velveteen Dream might be next most notable after Joey Ryan. |

Jack Gallagher and Ligero have been released from the WWE, with Velveteen Dream rumored to be next. Joey Ryan, one of the Crists and Michael Elgin from TNA. Dave Lagana from the NWA. One dude got fired from MLW. Mike Quackenbush is putted and Chikara is gone. Sammy Guevara from AEW. None of that necessarily means those people are guilty (except for Guevara who was recorded saying things on tape, although it was a “joke”), but those are the ones that have seen consequences.

All we know for sure is that Mick Foley has been outed as a socks offender.

I didn’t have to watch Mike Quackenbush’s apology video to know he’s full of shit. All of these overly rehearsed apology videos or paragraphs-long written apologies, nobody has come out looking better in any of them.
You can’t talk your way out of this situation. Just go away. |

Guevara was suspended without pay, not sacked. Jimmy Havoc also suspended and sent to rehab I believe.

I didn't mean sacked, I just meant he got stung with consequences because their respective companies believe there's truth to the buzz. I should have been more clear. Forget about Havoc.
Oh, and Travis Banks from NXT UK and maybe someone else I'm forgetting from there too (maybe it was just him and Ligero though). |

I still stand by my original assessment that Matt Riddle's accusations are bogus. Being an adulterer and a prick to your mistresses is not the same thing as what others were accused of.
Also, Terri Runnells, that was clearly her ex husband's doing, like all the other various ways he harassed her. And that was pre UFC Brock Lesnar, and pre 50 year old Dustin when he was still hopped up on pain pills. If anyone thinks he would have just sat there and done nothing if it wasn't his idea, I have some bridges to sell you. |

Apparently WWE had been in talks with an unmanned top indie talent for a potential deal prior to the recent tidal wave of accusations hitting the wrestling industry.
This unnamed person ended up being among those publicly accused leading to WWE pulling their offer shortly afterwards.
Only reason the name of this person was not revealed was due to Alba getting that information "off the record" from his sources. |

Only other notable indy name to surface was David Starr who started the whole thing. He's only 29 but he's said to have been on WWE's no-fly list for a while due to his outspoken criticism of the continued tapings and his frequent calls to unionize. |

Ah Jeez, my local federation just issued a social media statement regarding various accusations.
Is nobody safe in the squared circle or are they all at it? |

NXT UK brand got hit with more releases and one suspension by WWE regarding the recent allegations going around in the British wrestling scene.

Seems AEW finished up their investigations involving some of their talent who had been accused recently.
Darby Allin supposedly was cleared of his accusations after providing a bunch of DMs as evidence for his case. He was also being investigated over past unrelated issues involving him. Jimmy Havoc is currently rumored to be retiring from wrestling once he finishes rehab. |

If I was having an extensive affair behind my partners back and l was going to get outed by the person, I would 100% call them a stalker.

He could have been cheating and she also could have turned into a stalker. Not to say that's what happened, but it's not unheard of.

Joey Ryan is now abusing the YouTube claim system to have indy shows/matches featuring him taken down. Seems like he is trying to have the dick flip erased from history.
