Chelsea Green Says Promoter And Izzy's Parents Are To Blame For Chokeslam Spot, Not Trainers

WWE superfan Izzy is wrestling at twelve years old, and it's gaining plenty of criticism.

Izzy won a championship last weekend, prompting her -- and her family -- to be the target of accusations of exploitation. Former Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Chelsea Green took to Twitter to offer her thoughts on the situation, pointing the finger at Izzy's parents, and the promoter.

I don’t agree with the trainers of Izzy having to take blame for a decision that wasn’t theirs.
The promoter of that company, as well as Izzy & her parents made the decision to let a 12yr old bump. It wasn’t Pro Wrestljng 2.0, it wasn’t Chasyn Rance, it wasn’t any of us that

train with Izzy throughout the week. Unfortunately, amidst all of this chaos, people like Chasyn and 2.0 are being caught in the cross fire...

I don’t agree with Izzy taking bumps, let alone being chokeslammed. It’s unfortunate that others felt differently. It’s also unfortunate her first match wasn’t at the school she’s trained at, where she is protected. But, we live and we learn. I hope promoters take note.

Oh, and BTW... there’s no such thing as a “safe bump” when you’re 12. Bumps are dangerous.

WWE Superstar Lince Dorado also spoke out about the move this week. Izzy has been seen on WWE programming multiple times over the last several years, and was even involved in the Sasha Banks vs. Bayley NXT feud.
