The independent wrestling company known as BLK Girlz Wrestle had publicized an event titled The Blk Out. To the disappointment of many fans who expected a night of wrestling action, the event was canceled without prior notice. Adding to fans’ frustrations, the group also reportedly blocked wrestlers from their social media platforms.
Sources from Fightful have reported that Bryan Datrell Tanner, the owner of the said wrestling promotion, has been detained. Tanner, a father of three daughters, has been arrested on charges of “WITHHOLD SUPPORT: NON SUPPORT OF CHILDREN OR SPOUSE” and was arrested on the 19th of September. He is also a registered sex offender following a past accusation of sexual assault against a minor aged between 16 and 17 years.
