Pro Wrestler Rolando Perez Comes Out as Bisexual

Independent professional wrestler Rolando Perez, better known to his fans across the Deep South as Miami Ice, came out as bisexual in a social media post yesterday.

"F*ck it..." Perez wrote to Twitter. "I'm bisexual."

Perez bills himself as "a bad, bad man" who was "raised in da streetz of Lil Havana," according to his official Facebook page.

He is often seen wearing loud polyester shirts with several buttons left open to show off his chest and a large gold chain.

Perez wrestles in events promoted by Alabama-based New South Pro Wrestling. Their Top Shelf and Action Clashes events are staged in smaller venues across the state, and they livestream their events on Independent Wrestling TV.

Miami Ice next steps into the ring this Sunday, September 26, in the Top Shelf event at the Furniture Factory Bar & Grill in Huntsville, Alabama.

According to Outsports, Perez was a two-time Pro South Wrestling All-Out champion before joining New South Pro Wrestling.

But Perez is not the first professional wrestler to come out this year.

In January, Chris Lewis (a.k.a. The Hitman for Hire, Mr. Grim) came out as pansexual.

"For years, I've struggled with my identity," Grim tweeted. "Too worried about how others would feel or think about me. I've finally gained the courage to openly express that I'm Pansexual."

And then in June, professional WWE NXT wrestler Toni Storm came out as bisexual.

"I'm bi and it feels good to say it," Storm said after taking over WWE NXT's Instagram stories in honor of Pride. "It's something I've been really comfortable with for a long time. I just never expressed it."

Congrats, Rolando! Welcome to the family!
