Don’t be fooled by his tough exterior, inside pro wrestler Anthony Bowens is a total softy.
For his boyfriend Michael Pavano’s 24th birthday, Bowens wanted to do something extra special. So he wrote, composed, and recorded a love song called “How We Met”, a smooth R&B jam about, well, how they met.
“What do you mean?/What you mean to me/I’m half without you/Yeeeaaah,” Bowens croons in the tune. “Clarity/You brought to my soul/Serenity/Making two halves whole.”

How about we take this to the next level?

“I’m really bad at gift giving and I wanted to make sure that I did something special for him,” Bowens, tells Outsports. “I was wracking my brain as to what it could be and I decided to go the creative route instead something material.”
They say the best gifts are the ones you make yourself.
Bowens teamed up with music producer Nicco DiRenzi to develop the track.
“I tried to convey how much Michael has impacted my life and how he helped heal any pain and dismiss any fears I had prior to coming out and living my life freely,” he explains.

He continues, “I combined it with the way I felt after the first night we two years ago at a bar called Blackthorn in New Jersey and I how feel now in general.”

For the love of G-d, will someone at Queerty fix the “skip ad” button so it actually skips the fricken ad and let’s one watch the video rather than taking one to the product and screwing up the ability to watch the video? I mean seriously, this only happens with the drag show ad.

Haha, I’m with you on this. You have to close the fukken site and start all over again. And the way this same ad fills up 1/2 of an iPhone screen with no obvious way to close it is also a p.i.t.a. What genius thinks that pissing off potential viewers is good marketing?
