Hello, Lovelies! The last week has seen a deluge of survivors speak out about systemic issues of abuse, predation, manipulation and sexual assault within the pro wrestling industry thanks to the #SpeakingOut movement. Emily Mae Heller (Afterbuzz TV, Safe Wrestling Collective) joins host Brian Bell to discuss the movement, the goals of the Safe Wrestling Collective and how pro wrestling makes true, lasting positive changes that ensure the safety of everyone within it. Survivors are valid. Believe survivors.
