Lio Rush: Fans used racial slurs, hate speech at PWG BOLA

Lio Rush says that fans used racial slurs, engaged in hate speech, and threw objects into the ring during night two of PWG BOLA on Sunday. 

Rush was injured during Sunday’s event and taken to the hospital, and also provided an injury update in a social media post today. 

Rush says that he has a dislocated left shoulder, and will have a follow-up MRI in two to three weeks to make sure that there is no ligament damage. 

Rush posted: 

“Clean dislocation in my left shoulder. (Opposite to my previous shoulder injury.) MRI in 2-3 weeks to hopefully find that there’s no severe ligament damage/tear.

To all the boys in the back and crew at PWG last night that were super attentive and extremely helpful, thank you so much. More frustration and disappointment than anything else at the way last night ended.

To all my fans and supporters, thank you for the outpouring love and support. Saddened by the hate speech, racial slurs, and throwing of objects in the ring by “fans” who attended Night 2 of BOLA, but nothing will diminish my love for this sport and stop me from performing for those who appreciate my craft. I will be back. See you soon.”
