The LGBT Sport Podcast - The One with Veda Scott

For a long time, Veda Scott has been one of the ‘go-to’ names on the professional wrestling circuit.

As a competitor, they’ve stepped into the ring for the likes of Ring of Honor, Impact Wrestling and numerous other independent promotions.

And as a commentator, they’ve lent their voice to the action for AEW, New Japan Pro Wrestling, GCW and others.

After finding their space in the wrestling industry, they found their space in the LGBTQ+ community – as a queer, non-binary person who uses the they/ them and she/ her pronouns.

You know we need very little excuse to talk about professional wrestling on this show – and with Veda, we’ve got an absolutely amazing guest to chat with about life inside and outside the squared circle.

We talk about how their got into the business; their favourite moments as a competitor; transitioning to the announce desk and their goals and dreams there; finding their identity as an LGBTQ+ person; being part of a rapidly-growing LGBTQ+ community in wrestling and so, so much more.

It’s a brilliant episode with a great guest, and we can’t wait for you to check it out.
