Independent wrestler Sonny Kiss (who might be best known as XO Lishus in Lucha Underground) is the latest professional wrestler to go viral. A clip of the twerking wonder has racked up over 300,000 views on Twitter. It features Kiss repeatedly ramming his opponent’s head into his butt and then twerking in celebration afterwards.
The offensive maneuver might be unusual, but it was certainly effective! Both in the ring, and at bringing Kiss a ton of new fans.
Check out the clip below:

Kiss did a great interview with Women’s Wrestling Weekly where he discussed being an openly gay wrestler:
It’s like not losing your centre. I think a lot of times when you get into different environments people lose their centre. And that wasn’t me. I remained, who I was regardless of any situations. I definitely dealt with racism and I definitely dealt with homophobia but I think once people see who you truly are; it kind of smooshes that away. And I feel like that’s what happened with wrestling, it was like ‘yo, this guy is a little weird’. Once they really looked at me and saw me ‘you know he is kicking butt’ and he is powerful and strong black man and confident, they were like, ‘ok he is something different.’
