Joey Ryan is well known for a lot of things — intergender wrestling, speaking out against Bill DeMott’s egregious abuses as WWE Performance Center Head Coach, all things sleazy/blow pop-related.

One of the biggest things that drew me to Lucha Underground was their re-branding of wrestling in a way as to not insult their audience’s intelligence. We are storytellers and we can tell our stories without trying to fool or trick the fans of it.
