Episode notes
It’s been about a year since Scotty Rawk went viral on social media after his decision to come out in the ring at EFFY’s Big Gay Brunch event in Liverpool.
One of the reasons why the British grappler’s story touched so many people was the fact that Scotty, in so many ways, defies the stereotype of what a member of the LGBTQ+ community is – with tattoos all over his body and a wrestling pedigree that includes competing in some of the industry’s most violent contests.
So when Scotty said he wanted to come onto the podcast to share his story, we were absolutely delighted to have him on – and this is an amazing episode.
We talk about Scotty’s journey in wrestling, embracing his sexuality, the importance of visibility, going viral, featuring in Attitude magazine and so much more.
It’s another brilliant episode with a cracking first-time guest – and this is one you’re going to love.
