NXT superstar Pete Dunne issued a statement on his Twitter commenting on the recent allegations made against the British wrestling scene, which is being shared via the #SpeakingOut hashtag. The Bruiserweight states that it’s up to those in the industry to hold their coworkers up to standard, and hopes he can reinstate fans love of British Wrestling.
He writes, “I’ve thought about a post like this several times over the last two days. But honestly it’s up to us within the industry to make changes and prove to ourselves that we can hold people to the most basic of standards. There will be plenty of you that turn away and quite frankly I felt like it too. But with everyone that has reached out about making change I hope that eventually we earn the trust back and we can reinstate people’s former love for Britwres.”
