The latest is that WWE released Jack Gallagher.

Dave Lagana has immediately resigned as NWA VP. The company is temporarily halting all content production, "pending a restructuring of executive management decisions."

WWE wrestlers Matt Riddle, Ligero, and Jordan Devlin have denied their sexual assault allegations, and WWE released the following statement:

"“Individuals are responsible for their own personal actions. WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, child abuse and sexual assault. Upon arrest for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately suspended. Upon conviction for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately terminated. WWE’s ability to fine, suspend or terminate a WWE talent will not be, however, limited or compromised in any manner in the event incontrovertible evidence of such illegal misconduct is presented to WWE.”"

Progress has indefinitely suspended Devlin, Travis Banks, and Scotty Davis.

AEW released the following statement about Jimmy Havoc:

"We wish Jimmy Havoc all the best as he receives treatment and counseling in an effort to overcome the mental health and substance abuse challenges in his life. We are aware of various reports related to Jimmy. We are evaluating his status with our company and will address it when he has successfully completed his rehabilitation."

Jim Cornette and his wife Stacy have been accused of grooming prospects during their time in OVW to have sex with the latter, using their leverage throughout the business and particularly in Kentucky.

Other moves have been made throughout the industry, which will be updated later.

Joey Ryan was the first American name I thought of once Starr got outed. From the sleaze gimmick to Benoit jokes on commentary to the penis shtick to him being a piece of shit on Twitter, this isn’t shocking whatsoever.

Oh yeah, his carny antics as well as part of the PWG Six, at a time when customers had to fight to get their purchased DVDs while the company would throw shade at online pirates on show previews as well as on commentary.

I know nothing about commentary, benoit jokes, his twitter, or dvds, but I do know the guy is a predator and now the rest of the world does. Cancel this mother fucker now.

You may want to add Martin Zaki, ex co-owner of fight club pro to the list. The list of people that have come out are extensive and considering how he stepped away and admitted to his conduct would suggest his guilt.

I also have a feeling there are going to be a fare few big names coming out that will likely affect ROH massively. (Just my opinion, no prior knowledge)

Reminder that Lethal had past accusations (leading to an ROH investigation) and Scurll has been publicly rumored on Twitter for years about being an ephebophile.

Dan Maff has been mentioned, plus has a past history which could be revisited and would certainly end his career in this current moment and should really. Delirious could be mentioned, Lethal has had rumours around him for a long time outside of what happened last year, wether they are career ending or something that can be moved on from I can’t judge how people will react to any news on that issue.

With Marty it is obviously the most serious one of them all, I don’t like to deal with rumours when they are that serious as it obviously involves serious police investigation and then possibly jail and generally what happens to people convicted of such a crime. It could just be Twitter being Twitter as no one can really remember when and where the rumours started from considering how long ago it was and it was over one particular incident. I had honestly totally forgotten about it all until this brought it back again. I very much hope that it isn’t true and he can move on away from these ‘rumours’ as they can be damaging in themselves. That said if they are true it’s incredibly disturbing and there can be only one course of action for all involved.

I would like to think that 15 years is enough time for Maff to have grown from whatever got him cut in 2005, especially since Homicide appears to be on good terms with him now.

I very much hope that it isn’t true and lethal, marty and maff can countinue working.

I would too but there many coming forward with past abuse histories that are even further back than Maff’s and as people should they are taking them seriously. In the current client I honestly don’t think time or even if it’s a one time incident is going to save anyone’s career.

I cannot tell how will everything will turn out right now, the only thing that should happen amid that the wrestlers that are left are the men and women who are clean and we as a whole fan base can feel comfortable with going forward.
