British Wrestler Pollyanna came out with her story speaking about her sexual assault at the hands of Scott Wainwright. Will Ospreay, who is a friend of Wainwright’s was accused of having her blackballed from certain companies. One such company, IWL has come forward and confirmed that Ospreay did indeed put pressure on the venue to have Pollyanna removed from her booking.
We've been trying to put something decent together but fuck that, lets call a spade a spade.
Shortly after announcing @GothicLolly vs Renfrew, we got a message from the venue asking us to call them to discuss something. https://t.co/4HrBDTrhOn

The call went something like:
Will's our boy and feels uncomfortable with you booking Pollyanna.I told them I wasn't going back on my word with Polly, but would not book her going forward.
That wasn't an option, the option was unbook Polly or lose the venue. (1st show there)

Apologies to @GothicLolly who despite fighting a one-sided, was always professional.
To @WillOspreay, go fuck yourself and your half-arsed apologies.
