Currently wrestling itself doesn't even seem important and I've never had less interest in watching, consuming it or talking about it. Not even Benoit made me this disgusted with this shitty business as a whole. 1/
@OTT_wrestling for example has been a massive part of my life since 2015. I've made many many friends through going to their shows. Made memories I thought I'd treasure forever - many of which are now tarnished forever. 2/
I have no idea if I'll ever go to a show again. I'm glad of the Pandemic right now in a way because it means I don't have to make that shout. But for people to ever go again there needs to be evidence of deep systemic change and strong leadership. 3/.
Get Devlin and Davis out and keep them out. No half measures. Same for anyone else who's implicated. You can't expect people to sit in a room and cheer these people. You can't expect your talent to share a locker room with them. 4/
There need to be women on positions of power and authority. The men had their turn to run this business and they couldn't have fucked it up more. Women and women only understand what it has been like for them in this business. Only they can repair it. 5/
Clear codes of behaviour for fans, trainers and talent alike. Freely available on all social media. If you breach them, you're out. A designated female person on the staff fans can go to of they have a concern about a wrestler or fan that makes them uncomfortable. 6/
No more sneering from wrestlers or staff online when people raise legitimate concerns. It's all a part of why speaking out is so hard for people to speak out now. 7/
Sorry this is not coherent. I'm angry and sad and so many other feelings. And if I feel like that I can't even imagine how the victims feel. My heart goes out to you all. I believe you all. 8/
You are all so strong and brave and I hate that this stupid thing that I used to love so much did this to you. #SpeakingOut 9/
