• WWF Veteran Tatanka Accused Of Trying To Take An Underage Girl Into His Room

An anonymous woman has come forward to accuse Old School WWF Veteran Tatanka of trying to take her sister in his hotel room years ago.

She said that her sister was just 13 years old at that time, and Tatanka tried to take advantage of the situation they were in, but both of them were fortunate enough to make it out safely.

Below is what she wrote:

“Ok it’s not a current wrestler and it happened years ago. My sister and I were teens (me, 15 and her,13) and we used to stay at a hotel (with mom) when wrestling would come to the next town over. We were walking to our room after a show, mom had gone ahead to order food.

We saw Tatanka! Having never met a wrestler in person, we said he and he started chatting with us. I noticed he was really staring at my sister. Reminder, she was 13. I just said “She’s underage” and he shrugged at me. I said “No, REALLY underage” and he shrugged again. I said we had to go, and the guy pulled the fire alarm! We panicked and just kind of stood there.

He said ‘The cops are going to come, that’s illegal’ and grabbed my sister’s arm. He said ‘We can hide in my room’. I was naive, but not that naive. I grabbed my sister and we ran. People were starting to come out of their rooms, luckily, and we got away. I always imagine that it wouldn’t have turned out that great for my sister had I not been there.”
