B Stands For Blackball (and 99.9% end of TCW)

Shocking news came out of Texas indies. Wrestler and promoter of Total Championship Wrestling "Mr. B" John Peterson got outed for making predatory advances on a minor. Wrestler Brysin Scott, who been busting wrestlers who go after minors, received and posted the screenshots of conversation between Peterson and the minor. Follow it up with another coming out he chased another minor before. The news of his public outing sent shockwaves throughout Texas indy wrestling scene then stretched with emotions of shock, disappointment, and anger. I texted a friend from South Carolina about it and how I felt. She mentioned she saw it on her Twitter feed and she isn't a wrestling fan. Wrestlers and feds immediately distanced themselves from him and his company especially with DreamCon Wrestling banning him. Wrestler Reggie Lincoln, who Peterson blackballed from his fed, had fun with making "B. Kelly" memes as both are from Chicago. The ones that hurt are the talents who consider him a mentor and/or wrestled for his company. They have found out the person they receive in-ring advice isn't who he really is. Imagine them trying get booked and are refused because they worked mostly for him as form of guilty by association. What's more painful is his daughter having deal with the fallout. She received unwarranted insults and abuse from angry wrestlers and fans for his actions. One talent mention she called him in tears over it. It's a horrible situation all around. Here's a guy I watched in the ring as well attended one of his shows turns out to be a 180 from what was he perceived out of the ring. Consider that few years ago he publicly called out a guy who scammed him and few others and later found out is a registered sex offender. Now he got caught making advances on minors. He once had a gimmick of him chasing after white girls. Turns out it was not a gimmick at all. Apparently the B in Mr. B stands for blackball from wrestling scene.
