[MEGATHREAD] All the Wrestling scene's sexual assault allegations

[Roy Mustang]

If the Havoc allegations are true (there is now a rape one), I hope he burns in hell and the havoc merch I own is going in the fucking trash if it is true (I think it is sadly). Police are investigating so hopefully the people who committed heinous actions get punished and rot in prison.

I'm flipping through Twitter and people are now trying to cancel British dudes for hitting on girls, fellow wrestlers or cheating on their girlfriends.

Yeah those ones are weird. Especially when you have serious fucking stuff mixed into this.

I wonder if this guy played any sort of role in these incidents

Did the Dream allegations not have any merit? Bc he seems to be doing fine and was never taken off TV during them so I (and I actually can't believe I'm saying this) have some faith in WWE to look at the cases individually. Riddle is the only one on TV regularly to my knowledge so I could see them taking him off for a bit while the allegations are fresh before learning more details. I think they're kinda lose/lose here really bc if they leave him on and the allegations have merit then they're assholes, but if they take him off TV and its dropped soon then they're assholes to the other side lol and its really not fair for WWE to basically have to do their own investigations (though the major sports leagues all do). But the legal system even when it works perfectly still takes months, so as a company I have no clue how the fuck I'd handle it. Probably take em off TV for at least this week and handle it each week based off any new facts that come out. I think this may have been their strategy for Dream just going by how NXT TV went but they were doing weird rona taping schedules so its hard to tell.

The Dream allegations wound having no merit after screenshots from the accuser popped with chats named how to take down the N Word.

...or something like that.

So he's fine in WWE's eyes now, Riddle could easily be too if these allegations are fake and that comes out soon enough. Granted WWE doesn't have a stellar record of consistency in anything so I have to say I wouldn't be surprised either way

The problem being they've already taken him off SmackDown and I doubt they reverse course tonight.

Something that small can immediately derail his career. The screenshots on the accuser were also really damming.

Even if he's not fired something like this could make Vince completely change his mind about bringing him up to SmackDown.

So fuck her if she's lying and I hope it's able to be proven and she's punished for it, but she's also innocent until proven guilty of that just as Riddle is of her allegations. If Vince stops using Riddle bc of untrue allegations (as he has in the past in other situations) then fuck him for that and SmackDown will be missing out on Riddle GOATNESS so you can bet I'll be criticizing him every friday night for it.

Also fuck these guys who's allegations are true against them and I hope they get their rightful punishments for the varying level of accusations.

Riddle could be sent back down to NXT

 

[Zero_Nightdyne]

Having read all of the stuff in the list, it is disturbing if all of it will be proven to be true. Especially in a time like this. No wonder why twitter looks so weird with what was trending earlier. Just finished watching Dark Side of the Ring and these things will only add more especially if this is true.

TJ Perkins claimed he was assaulted as a teen from older women now. I'm surprised more man dont come out as it does happen to men too.

Vince's mind be changed over the smallest things. Even if he truly believed Riddle was innocent he might just say after thinking about it, he's just not the right fit for SmackDown at this time fr no real reason whatsoever. Also, the burden of proof is always on the accuser, but it is nice to be able to prove your innocence and prove the accuser is lying. And fuck anyone that actually committed these crimes and those who lied.

Yeah but being proven not guilty in court doesn't instantly mean the accuser was lying because the evidence just couldn't be there. I'm saying if she's lying then I hope there's enough evidence that Riddle could take her to court, but then the burden of proof would then be on him because he's actually the accuser there. She would then be innocent of lying until proven guilty.

Yes, in the instance of him making the accusation and taking her to court the burden shifts to him.

I doubt that will happen. You rarely ever see any kind of consequences for this and accused rarely pursue legal action.

Wrongfully accused generally don't want to keep the story in the headlines and take the risk of garnering the accuser more sympathy.

 

[Chris]

Yeah, one of the many things that we, as a society, need to change. It's on the list, but it's a fairly large list.

WWE Is 'Looking Into' Candy Cartwright's Assault Accusation, but Not Pulling Matt Riddle From 'SmackDown' Debut (Exclusive) - TheWrap

Fellow pro-wrestler Cartwright says Riddle choked her in a car and pressured her into performing oral sex on him in 2018

www.thewrap.com

Looks like Riddle isn't being pulled from SmackDown now....would be willing to bet WWE actually just changed their minds as opposed to those original reports being wrong but you never know with wrestling news online so it could be either way. Also found that Riddle's has already been in legal battles with this girl and has filed an injunction on cyberstalking last year. Looks like he went to WWE right when the allegations came out and explained everything too.
