The independent wrestling community was dealt a serious hit today as it was brought to light via Terra Calaway’s Twitter that Colin West (real name Patrick S Shea) owner of Synergy Wrestling has been a registered sex offender since 1999.

What followed this revelation was Synergy’s roster leaving en masse. Names like WARHORSE, TJ Crawford, and current Cruiserweight Crown holder Kasey Catal all announced their departures; with Catal also announcing she would be vacating her championship. This came along with IWTV confirming that they will no longer be working with the promotion and even deleting their catalog (sans a WARHORSE IWTV Title defense) from the IWTV library.
