Hot on the heels of his coming out as gay rather than bisexual, wrestler Anthony Bowens found himself steaming over a prank his boyfriend played on him.
Bowens and boyfriend Michael Pavano maintain a YouTube channel together where the two play skits, share their travels and generally give the public an inside look at their relationship dynamic. Pavano decided to use the channel to prank Bowens by placing what looked like a used condom by his bed. It didn’t go over well.

It didn’t take long for Bowens to discover the condom, and a predictable fight ensued. As Bowens tried to leave, Pavano revealed the prank. The pro-wrestler didn’t seem amused. Only after Pavano revealed the camera did Bowens begin to chuckle.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Fortunately for the pair, it seems the prank didn’t do much in terms of harming their relationship. That said, we don’t recommend repeating the prank on a significant other…or anyone else, for that matter.

“Literally, Like, Super excited”, this is the vocabulary of our current generation??
Frightening.

I hate pranks, too.
QueerTruth
That’s a stupid, dangerous prank.
Rex Huskey
yes it is…. especially in a new “public” relationship. ominous sign of things to come

Hmmm. I fail to see the entertainment value here. I mean, an intimate relationship is about building trust, right? Looks like the kid is teaching his partner how to distrust him. Oh well, the best to ’em.

Or its another “episode” for them to stay relevant.

Jesus…..I dont know why but I got turned on seeing Anthony jealous and mad……I agree though I would never pull this kind of prank, it could of turned out really ugly.

You get turned on by witnessing someone else’s agony? You have a perverted mind, Hussain.

I honestly don’t know why I enjoyed that, maybe because I knew its a prank, and not really real. I know it was real for Anthony during those moments, but I don’t, his reaction was so raw, so jealous…………….I think the Arab in me liked that.

I rarely say this on the site but I do enjoy your lighthearted and candid response, Hussain 🙂

Thanks man, that’s really nice of you to say. I try to be serious on serious topics, and silly on fun topics.

There are some things about which one should just not joke.

Cruel and I would not do this to my husband.

If Michael were my boyfriend I would like, totally hold a pillow tightly over his face until he stopped struggling.

So now we know which backyard to start digging in….

Not funny.

I hope Mr. Pavano learned a valuable lesson about pranks. I’m not a prone to playing pranks because they backfire too often.

If he didn’t know about the prank he certainly handled it better than I would have. Probably they need to do things like that to continue this web series, HOW do you cultivate a true relationship in front of cameras? And the nellie one needs to learn the English language.

If that was staged, it is dishonest. If it wasn’t staged, it is degrading and disrespectful to their relationship. Either way, it’s pretty awful. That having been said, as unsavory as the video is, it does have a good message, which is that both parties to the relationship expect and require monogamy in their relationship. If that expectation/requirement were not present, the prank wouldn’t work.

This kid needs to learn what a good “prank” is. This is just messed up.
