An independent wrestling controversy is escalating after the wrestler known as Papa Dingo responded publicly to a social media allegation that surfaced earlier this year.
The situation started when a Facebook user named Chris Evans claimed he was sexually assaulted at a wrestling show in Mansfield, Ohio back in 2015. In the post, Evans alleged that a wrestler he identified as Papa Dingo grabbed him in a bathroom while he was attending the event as a teenager. The story quickly spread online and sparked discussion within wrestling circles. The allegation has not been independently verified, and there are no known legal claims tied to the accusation at this time.
In an update to the situation, Papa Dingo issued a lengthy statement on Facebook addressing the accusation directly and denying the claims. He said he does not know the person making the allegation and pushed back against the story.
“I do not know Chris Evans however he seems to have a track record allegedly of doing this sort of thing.”
Papa Dingo also disputed key details about the situation, claiming the events described in the post do not line up with how locker room areas and restrooms are typically handled at wrestling events. He went further in the statement, strongly rejecting the accusation and suggesting the person behind the post is lying.
“See you never met me in Mansfield if you did you would know you wouldn’t be allowed to use the same restroom in the locker room and the boys wouldn’t use the restroom outside the Gymnasium.”
“Simple you’re full of sh*t. But I still don’t buy this bullshit if you’re ‘Chris Evans’ I’m sure I know who you actually are but I’ll wait.”
During the message, Papa Dingo also opened up about traumatic experiences from his own childhood and said that reading the allegation was triggering for him personally. He also revealed that he plans to pursue the matter further and says he has filed a police report regarding the situation.
“I know what it feels like to feel frozen, I know what it feel like to feel worthless, I know what it feels like to feel dirty.”
“Regardless if you show your face or not it don’t matter I’ll eventually find out who you are as I filed a police report.”
At this point, the person who originally made the allegation has not issued a public response since Papa Dingo released his statement. Stories like this continue to spark debate across the wrestling community, especially as accusations and responses play out on social media before any investigation takes place.
What do you think about Papa Dingo’s response to the allegation? Do you think situations like this should be handled publicly online or through legal channels first? Let us know your thoughts and leave your feedback in the comments.
