The Rise of Bobby Buffet

Lio Rush Pulls Out of Independent Event

In a recent development, Lio Rush, known for his outspoken presence in the wrestling world, will unfortunately not be able to compete at GCW's "My Name Is" event on August 5 in Detroit. The talented wrestler's absence is due to an undisclosed injury, as neither Lio nor GCW has provided specific details about the nature of the injury.

Originally set to face Mike Speedball Bailey, Bailey's new opponent for the event is none other than GCW Champion Blake Christian. Despite this unforeseen change, fans can still expect a thrilling night of wrestling action, with a stacked lineup that includes Joey Janela, Masha Slamovich, Nick Gage, and AEW's own Jeff Hardy.

While Lio Rush's absence is undoubtedly disappointing, GCW's "My Name Is" event promises to be an unforgettable showcase of talent and athleticism, leaving fans eager to witness the captivating matches that await.

Trained under the watchful eye of Danny Cage, the renowned wrestling school's head coach, Bobby Buffet honed his skills and developed his charismatic persona. The Monster Factory, known for producing top-tier talent, also provided a platform for Bobby Buffet to showcase his skills in the Apple TV series, "Monster Factory."
