Speaking Out: Every Wrestler Alleged To Have Committed Sexual Assault

A number of wrestlers were impacted by the Speaking Out movement, with many stars ending their careers after their alleged crimes came to light.

This included WWE, AEW and British wrestling stars. The movement was a wake-up call for many in the UK, as it saw a host of top stars who were previously beloved outed as horrible people.

What was the Speaking Out Movement?

The “Speaking Out Movement” was wrestling’s answer to Hollywood’s “#MeToo Movement”. It was a grassroots movement in professional wrestling in mid-2020, exposing a number of sexual predators in the business.

Multiple women came forward about their experiences via social media. The accused were mainly members of the British wrestling community, although a handful of international stars were also involved.

The sheer scale of abuse running through the British Wrestling scene was such an issue that British Parliament even launched an investigation into it. It made mainstream news, and dealt a huge blow to the BritWres revival.

Speaking Out was one of the reasons for the sharp, sudden fall of British Wrestling in 2020.
