Personal life

Professional wrestling career
[edit]On August 30, 2019, Effy faced Nick Gage for the GCW World Championship in a Deathmatch.[4] Despite losing the match, he would become a regular performer for the Game Changer Wrestling promotion.[2] On October 2, 2021, Effy defeated Matt Cardona to win the Internet Championship.[5]
On October 10, 2020, Gibson hosted Effy's Big Gay Brunch, the first of a series of shows featuring LGBTQ performers and allies.[6] On April 10, 2021, he hosted Effy's Big Gay Brunch 2.[7]

Professional wrestling style and persona
[edit]Gibson described the Effy character as an over-the-top version of himself. Since he began to work in a religious and Republican part of the United States, he performed the "most gay version of myself" to get heat.[2] He is nicknamed "The Weapon of Sass Destruction".[12]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
