#SpeakingOut: The Scorecard So Far

The continuing number of abuse allegations against major wrestlers in promotions across the world has meant the following in the American scene so far (and by NO MEANS is this an exhaustive list -- and the Cornettes have their lawyers on the case, and probably aren't involved with any promotion, having been canceled from pretty much all of them already!):

• WWE:  Jack Gallgher fired.
• WWE:  Nothing yet on Matt Riddle.  They apparently are aware of the past incident, were when they hired him...
• NXT:  Nor on Patrick Clark, the Velveteen Dream.
• NXT UK:  ... nor on any of the number of other wrestlers accused last week.  Though Jordan Devlin and Travis Banks, two of the NXT UK talents accused, have both been suspended by their home promotion PROGRESS.
• AEW:   Sent Jimmy Havoc to rehab.
• AEW:   Suspended Sammy Guevara indefinitely for stating he wanted to rape Sasha Banks 4 1/2 years ago.  The two have spoken, she has accepted his apology and wants this a lesson to heal in the current situation.  He will be re-evaluated after the dreaded "sensitivity training".
• Impact Wrestling:  Joey Ryan fired.
• Impact Wrestling:  Dave Crist fired, both for allegations of abuse of multiple women.
• Impact Wrestling:  Michael Elgin is back in the doghouse for more allegations, but he's only been suspended at this time.  Elgin probably could have Patient Zero for the American scene, going back to his time in New Japan.
• Bar Wrestling:  Closing.
• NWA:  Fired Dave Lagana and terminated all programming.  Now all talent is released from their contracts until the NWA can hold shows with fans again -- they're thinking early next year on that one.
• Major League Wrestling:  Mark Adam Haggerty, a ring announcer, fired for inappropriate texts with a minor.
• British Wrestling company PROGRESS is pretty much having to shut down and reboot, as the better amount of it's power structure is neck-deep in allegations.
• Patient Zero for the #SpeakingOut movement was accusations against David Starr -- and most of the companies he has worked for have severed ties.
• A massive ongoing police investigation is in progress.

Stay tuned.
