CWF Mid-Atlantic fall out continues w/booker Stutts being fired.

Sources close to CWF have noted that the company felt so strongly about the Stutts situation that storylines were being changed specifically to break away from direction that may have been associated to Stutts' work.

CWF released the following statement on their social media yesterday: "We want to thank the tremendous outpouring of support for CWF Mid-Atlantic in this difficult time. CWF Mid-Atlantic had no choice in this matter. We have standards that we all must adhere to be in a position to represent our company.   Our locker room is strong and united over this and we intend to not only persevere, but grow stronger with the dedication of all our team. We ask that our fans stick with us as we move forward. Thank you again for your support!"

Of course, the major question obviously in your brain if you are reading this is, "What the hell did Stutts do?"  The reality is that there are a lot of stories that have made the rounds related to Stutts and Charlie Armstrong over the last 48 hours, but no one has been willing to go on record with the situation, so until someone does, it's not going to come out beyond whispered allegations.  I can report that most of the stories center around alleged inappropriate communication with a staffer for CWF.  That's about all I feel comfortable writing currently.  Stutts, who finally responded to inquiries by several news sites last night, declined to comment and as noted, no one else has gone on record.

The Stutts situation has greatly saddened a lot of people in the local scene as he was very much a pied-piper cheerleading sort of personality who exuded a great love of 80s professional wrestling and was very much one of the central figures of the circle of professional wrestlers and assorted personalities involved in the North Carolina scene.  To say that this was one of the last things I'd ever expected to be writing about would be massive, massive understatement
