About this episode
Wrestling and the WWE have been the cornerstone of masculinity since their creation. Despite the fancy colors and over-the-top costumes, bulging muscles, and manly screams, the queer community is still a part of this world. So, what would it look like if a former WWE star completed a full trans-feminine journey and returned to the ring? Today on PRIDE, we’re inviting Gabbi Tuft to tell us about what her journey from the ring to high heels has been like, how she is going to return to the ring to compete as the new age villain, and how she started a fitness brand that is helping countless women.
