Beyond Wrestling suspends executive producer indefinitely

Beyond Wrestling has suspended executive producer Jon Roy indefinitely for violating the code of conduct. Beyond’s Drew Cordeiro announced on Twitter on Thursday that Roy was suspended for using derogatory language, writing:

“Effective immediately, I have suspended our executive producer Jon Roy indefinitely.

Our code of conduct states that derogatory language will not be tolerated.

I will go into more detail as soon as my schedule allows.

-Drew”

Cordeiro did not detail the incident that led to the suspension, but the announcement came after attention was drawn to a Twitter post in which Roy called a transgender woman an “ugly bald guy in a dress.”

Fightful reports that Roy announced his firing on Twitter, writing:

“I got fired and I’m sure all 8 people who were mad at me will still support their local favorites because I won’t be there.”

Roy has since deleted his Twitter account.
