LGBT In The Ring

Hello, Lovelies! We're talking all things All Elite Wrestling this week as Fanbyte's (or Fanfyte's) Colette Arrand stops by to help break down the good, bad and sublime from AEW's Evolution pay-per-view. From questionable neck tattoos and match placement to crowning achievements in tag team wrestling, comedy wrestling and ring entrances, AEW Revolution had it all. There is one thing we can all agree on though: Judas slaps!

Hello, Lovelies! Brian has the flu, but that won't keep him from chatting with LGBTQ pro wrestling icon EFFY. The outspoken athlete discusses his upcoming Big Gay Brunch event (including another talent announcement!), carving his own path to indie wrestling stardom, and how he is making wrestling, among many things, gayer. From his start in the Bible Belt to his practical yet sometimes absurd approach to the business, EFFY and Brian dig into where the industry is going and how LGBTQ people within it are being further empowered to tell stories pertinent to the community!
