Squared Circle Spotlight

Is Blackheart Lio Rush a bad gimmick… or one of the most interesting character reinventions in wrestling right now?

Lio Rush has completely transformed himself with the Blackheart — white contacts, blood, a darker presentation and a character unlike anything we’ve seen from him before.

But while some of us LOVE what Lio is doing, there are questions about just how far this character can actually go. Is Blackheart a brilliant reinvention? Is it more style than substance? Can the character evolve enough to have long-term potential?

On this episode of Bad Gimmicks, Better Merch, the Squared Circle Spotlight crew debates Blackheart Lio Rush and ultimately answers one question: BAD GIMMICK… OR BRILLIANT?
