MLW have fired ring announcer Mark Adam Haggerty after indie wrestler Sully Banger posted screenshots of Haggerty exchanging inappropriate messages with a 15 year old.
Sully said:
“Here are inappropriate exchanges between Mark Haggerty and a 15 year old child. The kid and their parents have consented to this being shared, but will remain anonymous. The kid has said they TOLD mark they were 15, and mentioned being a freshman in high school more than once. When confronted initially Mark stated that he blocked the individual the second he found out their age, but the kid was the one to block him after (so that was a lie). This is inappropriate, Mark is in a position of power and holds a very high status in this business.”
