A hot daddy of the independent wrestling circuit is bringing his sweet cheeks to Tampa Bay to do some eatin’. Taylor Gibson—aka Effy—is two-and-a-half years into his Big Gay Brunch series, and he brings the eighth iteration of “wrestling’s gayest event” to Tampa next month.

Tickets to Effy’s Big Gay Brunch 8 happening on Saturday, Jan. 27 at Tampa’s Egypt Shriners center are on sale now and start at $32.32 and naturally top out at $69.
The 33-year-old Tallahassee-born wrestler with a degree in public relations has over 90,000 followers between Twitch, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok, and was ranked no. 95 in Pro Wrestling Insider’s ranking of the top 500 wrestlers of 2021.

As Business Insider points out, the “weapon of sass destruction” has forgone deals with World Wrestling Entertainment and All Elite Wrestling and lands in Tampa care of New Jersey-based indie wrestling company Game Changer Wrestling.

And while there’ll be food on the agenda, the main attraction at the brunch is wrastlin’, which focuses on LGBTQ athletes in the indie wrestling world.
