LGBT IN The Ring Ep. 150: J-Rose Returns!

Hello, Lovelies! This week we welcome pro wrestling creative and one of the best ring announcers in the game J-Rose back to the show! He and Brian Bell discuss his new promotion, Naptown All-Pro, its focus on community outreach and building spaces for Black and queer fans in his hometown of Indianapolis. J-Rose also discusses the deeply personal motivations for connecting Naptown All-Pro to efforts to curtail gun violence in the city and build a pro wrestling presentation that honors the spirit of the city he calls home.
