WWE referee Drake Wuertz responded on Instagram today to allegations that he is a supporter of the Proud Boys and Q-Anon.
Here is Drake Wuertzās statement from his Instagram account:
āAn irresponsible and biased āwrestling journalistā has been recklessly attacking me and my family. I will not be bullied and I will not put up with it. For some reason, he has targeted me for quite some time now. He has gone so far as to stalk my wifeās social pages and has documented every ālikeā or āfollowā weāve made in an attempt to have me ācancelledā.
Heās falsely labeling me with some of the most evil names that you could ever call someone. We are neither racists, sexist, nor members of any white supremacist organizations, conspiracy theory groups, or otherwise. This generation of āwoke cancel cultureā keyboard warriors thrive on trying to take out people they simply donāt agree with. These kids that were raised in social media seek nothing more than to make a name for themselves by harming others with opposing views by any means necessary. This guy first attacked me for doing a fundraiser for an organization that sponsors an Electronic Storage Detection K9 in my countyās Sheriffās department which helps fight human trafficking and child exploitation. This organization has assisted in the rescue of over 4,200 victims and the prosecution of over 2,500 predators. Living in Orlando which has the 3rd highest rate of Human Trafficking and being a Father of 3 young children, this is a ministry near and dear to my heart that Iām heavily involved in. Why on earth would you attack someone for helping law enforcement fight child sex trafficking?
It also seems this guy has a history of using actual hate speech, racist terms, insults to those with special needs, falsely accusing people in our business and other questionable behavior online.
I could post screen grabs of these incidents but thatās not how I choose to fight this battle.
Knowing this is in his heart, I will continue to pray for him despite what heās attempted to do to my family.
Sadly, social media has become quite toxic and has gotten to the point where the negative outweighs the positive. Simply ālikingā or āfollowingā a post can result in doxxing from these trollsā¦ they come after your job, your faith, and make harmful threats against your family. When did we start auditing who people follow and using that to attack their livelihood?
The threats against my wife and kids are disgusting and Itās disheartening to see how low people will go. These people will stop at nothing to attack and do harm. Iām not a big star with a lot of powerā¦ Iām a referee in developmental. They are threatening to come after me thinking Iām an āeasy targetā but I will not be intimidated.
Above everything Iām a disciple of Jesus Christā¦a child of the most high. Weāre covered by the Grace and Armor of God (Psalm 91). We may be saved but we are not soft. The Bible warns us that we will insulted because we follow Him. I consider it pure joy and anxiously await the crown of life for which the Lord has promisedā
