O’Shay Edwards recently discussed how wrestling made him comfortable with coming out as bisexual. The Shane Taylor Promotions member was a guest on the Shining Wizards podcast and talked about how professional wrestling made him comfortable with being bi and acknowledging it.
“If it wasn’t for wrestling, I wouldn’t have (come out),” Edwards said (per Fightful). “Before I was a wrestler, I was a fireman for 15 years. Before that, I played college football and played at every level. I knew when I was like 18 or 19, but it was 2003 or 2004 and there was no way I was going to come out in a football locker room. Are you kidding me? My career would have been done. Over. The times were different. I joined the fire department. Same thing. The fire department is full of type-A personalities and there were a few firemen at that time who were out and I saw the crap they were getting and everyone thought it was like a joke.”
