Former NWA Women’s Champion Allysin Kay has withdrawn from an upcoming appearance after claiming the promoter of the show has defended a paedophile. The show named Thunder or Blunder is scheduled for July 31st, and Kay’s exact reason for withdrawal comes after she claims the promoted is defending convicted paedophile Joey Venom. Venom was convicted in 2007 with child molestation and, is registered as a “Sexually Violent Predator.”
Allysin Kay’s full statement for withdrawing, which she posted on her Twitter account is as follows:

“I hate being put in this position, but I am pulling out of “Thunder or Blunder” on 7/31 in Indianapolis. It’s been brought to my attention that the promoter is defending convicted paedophile Joey Venom. I gave him an opportunity to explain and he continued to defend him. He was offering a lot of money for a single booking and I know it would’ve led to more. It really sucks to turn that down when you’re hustling on the indies, but one of the few blessings of social media is that there are so many avenues to make money. Promoters do not control you. I felt I’d be doing a disservice if I pulled out of this silently. People deserve to know who they’ll be working for & where they’re spending money. This is also me saying to fellow wrestlers: If you’re uncomfortable for any reason, YOU DO NOT NEED THAT BOOKING.
