Powerhouse independent wrestler Parrow hit the headlines late in 2017 when he publicly came out as gay, his online interview quickly going viral and leading to his positive, inspiring story to be shared hundreds of thousands of times. Jim first met Parrow in Orlando last year, and got together with him on Skype to talk about that whole experience, beginnings in wrestling, going on Good Morning Britain, getting heat when you're a newbie and how to obtain Salted Caramel Java Monster.

Parrow is a great guy and he's heading to the UK for a spoken word / Q and A tour with PROGRESS's own Jack Sexsmith to promote inclusivity in April. Tickets and more info: https://kayfabeevents.ticketbud.com/an-evening-with-mike-parrow-uk-tour-2018
