LIO RUSH IS NEXT TPT COMPETITOR!
As a professional wrestler, it is imperative to learn the lesson “never judge a book by its cover” and to learn it fast. Not accepting that talent comes in all shapes, sizes, and ages will quickly send unsuspecting competitors to the loser’s end of the purse with great regularity.
At 5’6”, 160 lbs, Lio Rush, a pro for just over one year, has very quickly learned to exploit this mental vulnerability in foes. The 2015 Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup winner is one of the finest high-flyers in the world and is the next entrant in the 2015 Ring of Honor Top Prospect Tournament!
Rush has quickly established himself as a star on the rise, competing in many of the top independent professional wrestling organizations in the United States before completing his first full year as a pro. As a former All-American amateur wrestler, Rush compliments his aerial assault with a supreme ground game that can take even the biggest opponents to the mat!
Rush was discovered at a ROH training camp, where he impressed ROH officials enough to earn an opportunity to compete in a ROH ring. In December 2015, Rush made his Ring of Honor debut in a Future of Honor contest against Vinny Marseglia. Rush was victorious following his spectacular “Rush Hour” finishing maneuver to defeat Marseglia 1-2-3, drawing rare adulation from a notoriously hardened Philadelphia crowd.
Despite his small stature, Rush’s early success has already drawn comparisons to high-flying dragon slayers like Rey Mysterio Jr., but Rush with his All-American amateur background, has the tools to make his own mark with his unique blend of aerial attacks and mat maneuvers. Rush is equipped with the skills to go all the way, win the 2016 Top Prospect Tournament, and earn a ROH contract!
