E227: Lucian Loveless SPILLS On The Oklahoma State Athletic Commission & Pro Wrestling
Description
Welcome everyone to episode 227 of Perched On The Top Rope! In this interview, our host, Lee Walker speaks with Lucian Loveless!
Lucian Loveless is part of the independent wrestling scene and has been for a few decades! Wrestling has taken him all over, and one place he's been and very active in, is Oklahoma.
The Independent Wrestling Scene in Oklahoma is still regulated by The Oklahoma State Athletic Commission. Lucian describes what the process is like just to get a license to wrestle, ref, manage and talks about how expensive it can be if you don't have health insurance!
Lucian shares how Oklahoma has passed for new sports such as bare-knuckle fighting, but that will not be under eyes of the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission and talks about the unfairness that pro wrestling faces in Oklahoma to the point its too hard to get popular wrestlers to come to independent shows due to the strict rules.
Lucian fills Lee on the 2022 bill Oklahoma passed banning transgender athletes to face their same sex counter part, but that inter-gender matches are banned in the Oklahoma as well. Basically, Trans-gender people are banned from wrestling in the state of Oklahoma. Lucian talks the process that the athletic commission has taken and why it will not change anything with Legislation.
Lucian is now currently seeking to get The Oklahoma State Athletic Commission out of professional wrestling and allow transgender people to wrestle in Oklahoma! Like Finn Balor and AEW have said, "Wrestling is for everyone!"
