I had considered doing this earlier but the latest evidence has only made my choice to go public even easier.

From this point forward I will no longer be associated with Kid Fite or any brand he shall be associated with in the future.

Prior to this I had taken small steps to distance myself, such as removing mentions of his name from my bios and CV.

However it truly requires a stronger stand. A more public stand. That's the only way we'll rid wrestling of these monsters, and make it a safer space for all.

One of the major factors I had not taken a public stance was due to almost cult like feeling he had created. An "us vs them".

However, that is no excuse. I was quiet when I should've been loud. For that I can only apologise and promise to do better.

The way Ross would, in a very twisted way, breed loyalty is by using "paying dues" to turn trainees against each other.

You could do everything for him for months, but still be worried that missing one show would set you back significantly.

There are trainees who have been there for a similar amount of time as me that have not been given the same opportunities as me despite having worked just as hard.

However since I was the one receiving opportunities, why would I complain? It's disgusting.

And if you made one mistake, no matter how small, while setting things up for a show? He would not hesitate to belittle you in front of everyone.

Countless times he would send people away to do other things rather than teach them how to build a ring.

I could go on and on. But at a certain point it's unnecessary. It would look like me bringing out personal grievances.

However, this is all coming from someone that was given a decent of chunk of (unpaid) "opportunities".

I guess to end this, Ross Watson is a manipulative piece of shit.

I'm sorry I ever fell for his snake oil bullshit.

I feel disgusted I gave this man over a fifth of my life.
