The One with Anthony Bowens
The professional wrestler joins us to talk coming out and making the business inclusive.
Sting vs Hollywood Hogan, Starrcade 1997.
That's when professional wrestling first got into the veins of Anthony Bowens - and, ever since, the American athlete has been captivated by this unique form of sports-entertainment. He's also one of a growing number of LGBTQ+ individuals plying their trade inside the squared circle - something that hasn't always been easy to do.
In fact, if it weren't for being a wrestler, Anthony feels he may even have come out sooner.
He's our guest on this brand-new episode of the podcast, talking about his favourite matches; being a role model for the community; the abuse he received after coming out as bisexual, then as gay; and why WWE is the ultimate goal for him.
Anthony battled through traffic to make the interview - and we're delighted he did, as it was fantastic to have him onto the show.
