UPDATE.
Added 2022-11-17 17:04:24 +0000 UTCHi everyone, as you all have seen I was injured at an indie show over the weekend. This is something that I'm extremely torn up about (which is why I haven't responded to messages, or have made posts without talking about it) I know the dirt sheets are saying I botched a move. That's not the case, I just landed on my shoulder kind of goofy. 🤷♀️ otherwise it's a move I've done thousands of times. (I was also informed the move looked sweet AF so thats comforting to know)
I'm incredibly upset, embarrassed and feel like an absolute failure. I feel like I have validated those who speak ill of me and I have been tearing myself apart since because I expect perfection from me.
I did try and finish the match, but the pain was excruciating and I had sensations of vomiting. So there was no way. I also could of made the injury worse if I continued.
I'm extremely grateful for all the love I have received from you all, it's been overwhelming in the most positive way. Down time shouldn't be too long thankfully. You are all so sweet and kind.
Thank you for your understanding.
Abadon

You're a total winner in my eyes. Your entire profession is already an incredible feat in and of itself. On top of that, no one does it like you do. You're still a huge inspiration to many of us. I hope the recovery goes well and you can return to twisting people's again in no time. 🤘🏻

2022-11-19 02:49:19 +0000 UTCNobody's perfect. Plus a wise man once said "it ain't ballet." Take time to rest, recover then come back stronger and deader than ever! You got this!

2022-11-18 20:49:01 +0000 UTCI was a small time indy wrestler, it happens unfortunately. I have been a few times. However, I know someone with your caliber and talent has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to be embarrassed or ashamed of! We stand with you and will always support you!

2022-11-18 08:01:40 +0000 UTCWe love you, safe recovery💙

2022-11-18 03:47:41 +0000 UTCBummed to hear you're injured, glad to know you're in good paws with nurse kitty. Please don't think Ill of yourself because at the end of the day you're living your dream and setbacks are a part of that. You are doing that while so many of the ones who attack you will never. Get well soon 🧟💚

2022-11-17 21:07:46 +0000 UTCPsst.. you already hit legend status, how: people talk about you and people know who you are, you turn heads (in some cases turn the heads of your opponents in odd angles for them *chuckle*) In a few short years you went from a small indie circuit to a one of the Big Three promotions. Most never see this level of success. Focus on healing up and do not let this pause get into your head, shit happens, you know this. I'm looking forward to your return and hope to see another HexFactor finisher one day.

2022-11-17 20:29:24 +0000 UTCI doubt there’s a wrestler on the planet who hasn’t injured themselves or been injured by another. You are NOT a failure. If anyone thinks otherwise, they must think Stone Cold Steve Austin is too because dude can barely walk without knee braces. Fuck the haters. You’ll recover and come back stronger!
Duck King
2022-11-17 20:24:01 +0000 UTCThis definitely happens and you'll be back on your feet in no time! I know mentally this weighs on you, but you're absolutely so strong that you're going to overcome this.

2022-11-17 20:20:45 +0000 UTC👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you’re doing great, I’ll keep reminding you of this no matter what’s going on 🖤

2022-11-17 19:46:25 +0000 UTCWe are with you and Abby take your time to recover.
Adam Mapes
2022-11-17 19:43:50 +0000 UTCPeople have gotten injured off their own finisher they've done a thousand times. Every move is dangerous in some way. Not your fault at all. You've been doing amazing
Jeri Legend
2022-11-17 19:08:37 +0000 UTCYou're going to come back to a Road Warrior pop

2022-11-17 18:42:04 +0000 UTCInjuries come with the job, don’t beat yourself up about it, rest up, heal up, and you’ll be back stronger than ever. We all got your back.
Daniel McCarthy
2022-11-17 18:08:10 +0000 UTCI hadn't heard anything about this until you informed us, I'm glad I learned it from you so we got the truth. I'm very sorry that this had to happen to you, but then again, shit happens! At least you didn't super kick your opponent right into retirement like a certain individual did... Not that I'm comparing you to him, I'm sure you could wrestle circles around that ass-clown! Don't beat yourself up about this, something tells me that you're more disappointed about not being able to finish your match than you are about actually being injured. I may be wrong, but either way, neither one of those things are not going to cause the world to end. Are they disappointing? Sure. Are the upsetting? Yeah. Are they going to stop you from continuing to wrestle? Fuck no! You are an incredible person in many ways and you truly are an inspiration to many of us! Use this little bump in the road as a chance to recharge your batteries and maybe even change things up at the gym, because you won't be doing any upper body stuff for a while, unfortunately. Maybe this is your chance to do some extra cardio and work on your legs more until you're able to work with your arm & shoulder again? Challenge yourself to not fall off your gym routine during this time and when the time comes to get back in the ring in a couple of months or whatever maybe you can surprise yourself with how much you were able to do during your injury "break"! No matter what you do, we'll always be here to support you and love you! If you decide to sit home and eat donuts everyday, we'll still love you!! (Not that I'm recommending an all donut diet to anyone, mind you, I was just using that as an example! ) Please take care of yourself and don't forget about us during your time away from the ring because I'm sure we'll be thinking about you more than ever!!

2022-11-17 18:07:06 +0000 UTCIn wrestling, injuries happen. some of the greatest of all time have all had injuries and they still ended up okay. you are not even close to being a failure. I am glad you are okay. you will come back stronger and better. and dont let those who speak ill of you get you down. your fans believe in you, know you are great, and are always here for you.

2022-11-17 18:04:58 +0000 UTCAccidents happen, set backs happen, use these to come back harder.
Mike Ingram
2022-11-17 17:54:46 +0000 UTCAll the support to you. You are awesome, looking forward to seeing you wrestle again when you are healed up. Pets to your cat too!

2022-11-17 17:54:04 +0000 UTCFeel better homie.

2022-11-17 17:46:21 +0000 UTCPlease, you have not failed at All. You’re incredibly talented and gifted with what you achieve both in wrestling and moves and the new ways you present yourself as Abadon. Please, please, please lean on us, this is why we’re all here, to be your rock, to lift your spirits and help you remember how far you’ve come and how hard you’ve worked. You’re doing so great, this is only a bump in the road, okay?
Michael Murray
2022-11-17 17:45:30 +0000 UTCGet well soon, Queen of Rot! I was confused to what happened since I didn't see you get injured only you clutching your shoulder. Then I saw you talking to Joey during the match and knew something was wrong. You are a real one for trying to finish the match and screw the dirt sheets for spinning the story.
Bryan M. Davis
2022-11-17 17:44:58 +0000 UTCI apologize if this came off extremely depressing. I wanted to be open and honest with all of you and that means showing my vulnerability. I love wrestling SO much and want to do it for as long as I can. I have this drive to be the next legend, to end up in the top 20 of the PWI, to turn heads, to be a role model for children, teens, adults and everyone in between. To show that you can start off being new and turn yourself into a star through hardwork, dedication and passion.

2022-11-17 17:43:33 +0000 UTCGetting hurt is part of wrestling! Get well soon!
Kyle
2022-11-17 17:40:49 +0000 UTCAs many have said this year, this ain't ballet. These things are bound to happen --especially this year, good lord--but absolutely nobody thinks you failed. Take time. Heal up. Come back with a vengeance.

2022-11-17 17:39:56 +0000 UTCI’m so sorry to hear what happened to you ❤️wishing you a speedy recovery and we all will be here for you when you are ready to get back in the ring again ❤️ sending love
Sam
2022-11-17 17:34:26 +0000 UTCDude you’re already great and you’re better every time I watch one of your matches. People get hurt doing what you do. There’s no shame in making mistakes only in refusing to admit to them. Lick your wounds, spit the blood out and recover. We will all be here for you when you are ready to get back in the ring.
Alex
2022-11-17 17:32:34 +0000 UTCI'm sorry that happened 😔 Hopefully, you can recover quickly! Take care of yourself, physically and mentally. We still support you ❤️❤️
Rob Whaley
2022-11-17 17:21:01 +0000 UTCObviously as you know I was there live and I can tell you that you definitely brought the energy into that crowd. You most definitely aren’t a failure!!!! You are an absolutely amazing talent who captivates the audience as well as an inspiration to so many of us. Like I told you in my private message I have no doubt you will come back from this even stronger. You are so absolutely amazing and I hope you never forget that ❤️
Stephen Vandelli
2022-11-17 17:19:46 +0000 UTCI'm really proud of everything you have accomplished, I strongly believe that you're going accomplish so much more. You are not a failure. The naysayers are the failures . This situation is just a temporary bump in the road. Things will get better.
Matt _____
2022-11-17 17:19:25 +0000 UTCAccidents happen to everyone, especially in wrestling. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. I've seen someone tear their knee up simply by pivoting awkwardly when thrown into the corner of the ring. It just happens. Take care of yourself and heal up well.
Chris Codina
2022-11-17 17:16:45 +0000 UTCHopefully you'll recover quickly and be all good to go. Well done on being on the safe side and not pushing it after the initial injury. Better to be safe than sorry. You only get one body and need to look after it. You've got way more supporters than haters and the people that crap on with hate couldn't do a what you do anyway and there's no point listening to their dogshit opinion. Hope the recovery is as smooth as possible.

2022-11-17 17:14:44 +0000 UTCPlease take all the time you need so you're 100% and ready to go on your own time. Be well, be good to yourself and we're all behind you 💜

2022-11-17 17:12:55 +0000 UTCAbadon….. we love ya first off and wish you a speedy recovery….. YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE AND DID NOT LET ANYONE DOWN. I…. For this reason have never read the dirt sheets for this reason alone. As you said, you landed goofy. Heal up….. get your PT done…. And get back out there and kill it some more….. WE STAND BEHIND YOU!!! Please do not beat yourself up…. I totally understand what you’re going through…. Long story…. But my line of work is crazy and I get down on myself when something doesn’t go right in my line of work, Firefighter. You are always in my thoughts and prayers and I know you WILL get through this…. As you know, take care of you, your body, and your mental health…. You got this and we are here for ya! Maybe you’ll get bionic something in your body for your recovery and then you’ll have some really kick ass cosplay pics!!! 😜 Stay strong, stay positive, stay safe, keep your head up and keep moving forward! 🤘🏻🖤❤️🤘🏻

2022-11-17 17:09:50 +0000 UTCThe dirt sheets are just dirt and aren't worth the metaphorical paper they're printed on. I hope you feel better soon!
Cory Hodge
2022-11-17 17:09:33 +0000 UTCThey're called dirt sheets for a reason. Don't let the bastards get you down. Hope you're not out of action for too long and more importantly enjoy the time away. It is forced and you may lose some appearance fees, but at least you can take some time and not be hurting from regular bumps. Many well wishes from London 🙏👍
Paul Abbott
2022-11-17 17:09:19 +0000 UTCTake your time to recover. We believe in you
