PROGRESS Announcer And Creative Member Matt Richards Steps Down

Matt Richards has stepped down from his roles in PROGRESS Wrestling.

Richards served as the ring announcer and creative team member for PROGRESS before making this decision. He said in his statement on social media that he has fallen out of love with pro wrestling after many women have come forward and accused dozens of British wrestlers associated with PROGRESS of sexual abuse or assault. 

PROGRESS has already cut ties with multiple wrestlers who have been accused as part of the Speaking Out movement over the past few days including David Starr, Ligero, and Travis Banks.
