• Old School AWA Legend Would Have Celebrated His Birthday

Today would have been the 84th birthday of Old School Wrestling Legend Larry “The Axe” Hennig.

Larry Hennig wrestled for various promotions in the 60s, 70s & 80s, such as Verne Gagne’s AWA and Vince McMahon Sr.’s WWWF.

He was the father of Old School WWF Legend “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig, and the grandfather of current WWE Wrestler Curtis Axel.

Larry isn’t in the WWE Hall of Fame yet, but will most likely be inducted one day as part of the annual Legacy Wing inductions.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY & † REST IN PEACE

• WWE NXT UK Wrestlers Travis Banks & Joe Coffey Accused Of Sexual Harassment

Several female wrestlers are coming forward to share their stories of being abused by trainers/promoters of wrestling schools. Most of these accused trainers/promoters are from UK.

The names of WWE NXT UK wrestlers Travis Banks and Joe Coffey have also come up, and they’ve been accused of sexual harassment.

Banks has been accused of being in a secret relationship with a 17-year old, who he mentally and physically abused.

Below is the story Banks’ ex-girlfriend shared about him:

Very scary doing this. But I don’t want anyone else to have to go through what I did.
Things need to change. #SpeakingOut
Things didn’t end with Jake. I began training under Travis Banks. When I was 17, we had a secret one year relationship in which he wouldn’t speak to….

Me or be near me in public incase anyone would find out.
Cheated on me multiple times in-front of my face, and was horrible to me.
Had a massive effect on my mental health and self confidence. I hated wrestling and the person I became when I was with him. #speakingout

I really hope that #SpeakingOut movement actually creates the changes the wrestling industry so desperately needs.

Joe Coffey is in a worse situation, as a number of women have shared stories about him being abusive, but most of them chose not to reveal their identity.

I had to block Joe Coffey on all my social media accounts because he wouldn’t leave me alone.
I’ve been told tonight that hes sexually harassed 3 girls, sending unsolicited naked images, voice notes, stalking. #speakingout
