WWE Wrestler Comes out

I thought this might be kind of an interesting subject to bring up here, though I don't know for sure that this is the right board exactly. If it's not feel free to move it or what-have-you.

They are a little off on saying he's the first person to be out in a major promotion, Orlando Jordan is openly bisexual and worked in TNA for a few years, and I think he was open about it during his time in WWE before that too. Still, is an interesting story and I'm hoping the company just keeps him doing what he's doing and doesn't feel the need to make a storyline out of it or something.

So, I'll sign off with something seemingly random just in case there are any fans here who actually know who Darren Young is... MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Well, considering wrestling is the most homoerotic thing in the world by a huge margin, I'm not the least bit shocked. If anything, the big news here is that the rest of them are supposedly straight.

Erm, yes it is. WWE. That's the scripted men in tight speedoes play fighting variety of wrestling.

But if they acknowledge that there have been other gay wrestlers then this would not be such a huge story!!!
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

I may not be the best judge of homoeroticism despite being gay myself, however the traditional form of wrestling - the one that is still(!) an olympic sport - is very very significantly more homoerotic to me than the shameful excuse for entertainment that WWE is.

Ah, fair enough. I haven't seen much proper wrestling and just assumed it couldn't possibly be any more homoerotic than WWE.

Real wrestling like you see in the Olympics is pretty homoerotic.  What goes on in the WWE is a glorified stunt show with soap opera elements.

They don't still do it nude and oiled up do they?
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

Well, a decent chunk of the roster wears trunks, true, but far from entirely. You've got people like John Cena wearing jean shorts, folks like the whole of 3MB wearing jeans, the Shield and Wyatt Family where all three members of each wear pants and shirts with the Shield also wearing vests, tons of people like Christian, Zack Ryder, and as of recently Kofi Kingston wear full-length tights... Brodus Clay, Big Show, and Tensai wear singlets... Lot more variety than just, "Underwear and kneepads," like everyone immediately thinks.

Not to say there aren't plenty who do wear that, though.
