Inspire Pro Wrestling announced on Saturday that it has cut ties with Andy Dalton. He was accused of sending inappropriate messages to a minor and took full responsibility for his actions.
The accuser posted several screenshots of Dalton ‘looking for virgins’. They said,
“I know that this isn’t as bad as some other people have been through and posted today but i cant stop thinking about this and while i don’t want to name names, i do want to make sure that people know it’s not just britwres that has people who will try and be friendly with minors.”

Dalton responded with the following,
“I’m fully aware of the screenshots that have been posted. I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for speaking freely and candidly among these people, as it was inappropriate. The words should have NEVER been said. I am completely aware my vocabulary among the conversation was inappropriate. I am fully prepared for the consequences that follow. I never wanted to, tried, or intended to engage in inappropriate activity. I understand the screenshots will lead you to believe otherwise. Perception IS reality.”

I apologize to my friends and family, and the entire world, but most Importantly the 2 harmed in this.

“First and foremost, we at Inspire Pro Wrestling want to commend those who have come forward with allegations of misconduct against members of the wrestling community. We see you and we stand with you. As a result of the allegations that have come to light regarding Andy Dalton, Inspire Pro Wrestling has made the decision to end our working relationship with Andy Dalton at this time. While Andy has taken full responsibility for his actions, this in no way alleviates his responsibility to the community and to the consequences involved.
