Hello, Lovelies! With only one day until Pro Wrestling VIBE's Pride & VIBE Weekend festival, we welcome another icon that carved a path for LGBTQ people in the wrestling world, Eddy McQueen. He and Brian Bell discuss the LGBTQ pro wrestling festival, his upcoming induction into Paris Honors and his fight to be taken seriously in pro wrestling in a less LGBTQ-friendly era. McQueen also touches on the mental toll wrestling takes on those in it and how he found balance through beauty.
