Seems for non-wrestlers, some in Impact's management have been accused of being abusers and Justin Roberts being outed for being a creep online.

Matt Riddle's agent and attorney posted a press release basically denying everything.
However it was also printed on sticky label paper (hey, we've all printed from the wrong tray before), so it's been deleted. |

No one in particular but more of a general condemnation towards Impact for hiding abusers who were in management.

WWE’s legal team got the ExposeWrestling Twitter account pulled down because Vince McMahon is one of the biggest sexual abusers in the business.

I am guessing that one of the reasons a lot of this is coming out at this moment is a lead in from the recent accusations made against male tattoo artists in the UK, a guy I know had a few accusations against him and has been arrested. This led to further accusations and media interest.

Also whoever was running the account suddenly started spreading fake lists around earlier. Either was hacked or done on purpose. |

I've always been surprised that Vince McMahon has managed to keep his head above water as much as he has.

According to Casey from Squared Circle Sirens, the stuff about Matt Riddle trying to file a restraining order might not be true.
Also another person has come forward alleging that Riddle was also manipulative towards her and cheating with her on the side. Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 06-19-2020 at 08:42 PM. Reason: Didn't notice the AEW post Triple A made above earlier |

One thing that will always bother me with the #MeToo stuff is this constant public outing of names by accusers before any charges have been filed.
Go and file charges before you log on to social media and start manipulating the public. If the police somehow turn you away, fine, tell anyone that will listen. The real Weinstein "effect" is that legally slander is now totally fine as long as it paints an abuser/victim scenario. |

This day of reckoning has been long overdue.
This is the same business that continued to employ Buck Zumhofe after being released from prison in 1989 for getting caught having sex with a minor in an abandoned barn. And that includes the WWF who he was doing jobs for into the mid 90s. |

Riddle just beat Styles clean on Smackdown.
Can't wait until Styles comes out 2 years later and says he didn't actually agree to that and Riddle made him lose |

This is the problem with people trying to flesh these accusations out on social media. Nobody knows what they’re talking about but they are always so confident they’re right. |

If it's as endemic as we all have heard then surely a better use of time would be for the accusers to make their individual complaints known to the law in a concerted effort to build a sound case. Just making the accusation public one day is highly dubious, legally questionable and immensely prejudicial. I'd imagine cases can be won and lost on that sort of outburst. |

It winds me up because half of this shit will be true but people just want to have their moment in the face of all sound advice.

I agree that when legal options have expired, by all means go public and whatever if you truly believe what happened to and all that, but it's a fucking terrible situation that needs to be rectified over time with precedent, better systems and what have you. More and more you start seeing "trends" with these sorts of things. Like, uploading the "notes" of your accusations as an aesthetic choice. Even AEW released their official press statement on a note. Wtf? It's like it's a stylised choice when discussing this sort of thing. There are lots of sociological curiosities that surround these issues. Including people who like to stand outside it and act smarmy (like a lot of people on these boards), or people that inherently take victims seriously (which I do). It could be dangerous when it becomes trendy to catalogue perceived sexual improprieties online, and that should be something researched, and it's something that will change over time. |

Plus he probably would have heard about issues with a restraining order earlier since he's very well connected to the women's indies and NXT scene, so if he feels something is off, it probably is. Also revealed he was in a similar past dating situation as Riddle's accuser claims. |

Riddle can be a total prick, but if they had a relationship where they liked.getting rough with each other, and it only became a problem after the fact, it's just not the same as all the rest of the assaults. Ending a relationship badly does not change previously consented acts into assaults. Of all the acquisitions, 1 stands out, and it's the only one I don't think is legit. She said she chose to blow him because she didn't want to have sex. That is not the same as what the other victims had to go through. They were in a relationship both before and after that. I am not condoning what Riddle did, but being a prick, a bad husband, a cheater, and a bad boyfriend, but that doesn't mean it was an assault. |

That doesn't really matter as long as charges were filed or a complaint was made and recorded at some point. Going public straight off the bat is the issue here. You take your chances of you don't make the appropriate choice at the time. |
