Portland Wrestling Books, Later Cancels Joey Ryan For August Event
TRIGGER WARNING – SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AND SEXUAL ASSULT
Portland Wrestling booked Joey Ryan to appear on their August 23rd show, titling the event “Reborn” and using the tagline “Exiled from the sport he loved in 2020….Joey Ryan is Born Again.”
Ryan was named in Speaking Out in 2020 with nearly 20 allegations against him.
After backlash online regarding Ryan’s booking, Portland Wrestling announced that Ryan’s flight had been canceled and he would not be appearing.
Prestige Wrestling promoter William Quintana responded to the attempt at bringing Ryan back into the world of professional wrestling. “If you’re on our shows and you willingly share this locker room, help set up at this show or are involved with this show you are getting pulled from all future bookings. So goddamn tired of this stuff. Gatekeep harder.”
Prestige Wrestling also announced a new event taking place on August 23 titled “FJR”.
“A night of safe space pro-wrestling action, for the scene, by the scene that helped cultivate modern day Portland wrestling.”
Tickets for the event are donation based. 100% of the profits after expenses will be donated to charity. Fans can buy tickets here.
FJR.
