It does not matter who he faces off in the ring because Tommy Purr is not going to let anyone off the hook! In case you did not know, he is quite famous for his frequent feuds and nonstop trash talking with his fellow wrestlers. An openly gay man, he has also spoken up about straight guys who “act” gay for a storyline. “I don’t necessarily mind or get offended by the gimmicks,” he said. However, he clarified what he meant with that by saying, “I wouldn’t be offended by a gay guy playing a straight character. But what does happen is that gay wrestlers don’t get the opportunity to show audiences that we are athletic and just as tough as the straight wrestlers.”
