The Acclaimed’s Anthony Bowens will be in action on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam.
During a recent interview with News 12 to promote tonight’s big event, Bowens commented on the reaction he received when he came out as gay back in 2016, how his road to a wrestling career began, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his road to a wrestling career beginning with a backyard wrestling video on YouTube: “The feedback I got was ‘you kind of look like a pro wrestler already, you should probably think about this.’ That was when the seed was first planted that this was something I should pursue.”
On coming out as gay: “I came out in 2016 and the response was overwhelmingly positive. It made my relationships with people better, my friendships better. I didn’t have to hide anymore.”
