Lio Rush On Progress Wrestling Has Made In Accepting Black Culture

In an interview with Wrestling Inc, Lio Rush spoke about how far the wrestling business has come in embracing black culture and not putting wrestlers in stereotypical roles.

He said: “I think the business is making strides, it’s not moving as quickly as a lot of people may want it to move but I definitely do think it’s making strides. One step forward is a step forward, you know what I mean? So I love where it’s at right now, where it’s heading, you can see where it’s heading and progress is being made. You’re starting to see just how talented we are, you’re starting to see how marketable we can be and it’s a beautiful thing, You’re seeing so many different characters and so many different layers of what an African American talent is. We’re not just a music artist or we’re not just a thug. I love seeing the direction within the character development of black pro wrestlers within wrestling right now.“
