Two alleged incidents will be discussed below. Please note that if any legal process is to take place, it has not yet. As a result, these will be an update of person(s) perspective that is alleging these events.<\/li>\n<li>The first accusation comes from a female ROH fan that posted <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/donnatroy\/status\/1135804766666158080\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on Twitter<\/span><\/a> about her experience with an unnamed \u201cHeel,\u201d performer making alleged unwanted sexual advances to her. If you are interested in her perspective the link is to her twitter thread on the matter.<\/li>\n<li>Another alleged incident, which has been dubbed \u201cThe Bully Rau Incident,\u201d happened at the State of the Art event this past weekend. Again the person who is leveling the claim, did so <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/xIAMHOLLYWOODx\/status\/1135413375138009089\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on Twitter<\/span><\/a>. ROH is currently investigating the claim and issued the following statement:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cROH has always taken a fan-first approach with fan experience being at the forefront of all of our live events. We consider this to be very serious and we will be conducting an internal review over the next 48 hours to determine the appropriate actions.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Live Event Results<\/h3>\n<p><strong>State of the Art &#8211; Kent, Wa<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kent, WA (6\/1\/19)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Showare Center at 7pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was a TV Taping.

Two high profile stories about fans being allegedly harassed sexually and verbally. Whether either are true is almost irrelevant at this point. Over the last few days, it is easy to see that public opinion is strongly against ROH on both of these issues, and beyond.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4212689549\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>This week marks the first time this calendar year that I have seen ROH on the front page of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/SquaredCircle\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">r\/SquaredCircle<\/span><\/a>. It was about the two stories that I mentioned in the news portion, and in the previous paragraph.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the troubling allegations, the IWC fans of Reddit took the opportunity to eviscerate the current direction and booking in ROH. I know this is a small portion of the WWE\/AEW audience, but the IWC fans are critical to the future success of ROH. I have felt bad at times being so critical of the product in recent weeks, but compared to the comments you read on Reddit, I could be seen as ROH\u2019s biggest supporter.<\/p>\n<p>But what to do? Well, like all things in life, it is complicated, and I only have an opinion; not a solution. But, Taven has go away heat with the remaining fans. So he cannot beat Cobb clean at Best in the World. I am open to a story where Taven and The Kingdom get a heel victory and Cobb wins it later.<\/p>\n<p>HonorClub has been a disaster as of late. The handful of loyal fans who want to watch live events cannot even get a good feed. That&#8217;s a rough way to gain fans, let alone keep them.<\/p>\n<p>TV should be live in 2019. Or at least let me watch TV tapings on HonorClub. How hard is that? I\u2019m just going to read results and skip the show if I am a normal fan.<\/p>\n<p>These three things would help, along with doing the due diligence in terms of the two allegations we have talked about today. If ROH determines that anything close to the allegations happened, they need to do the right thing.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tyler has been a wrestling fan for 20 years. He\u2019s from Columbus, Ohio.
