Title: Darren Young comes out
Post by: Karl Kox on August 16, 2013, 06:21:29 AM
Good for him. I'm sure he's getting a lot of support from the boys. 20 years ago this could have never happen.  Although,  Pat Patterson and Jim Barnett never got any shit from the boys to my knowledge.



Thoughts?

could care less any way its his personal life this is who he is as a person not his choice. this has nothing to do with his career as long as he earns what he gets and gives it his all is what is important.

Not sure why but wrestling seems to be more chill and accepting of homosexuals. Maybe just the nature of the sport. Patterson, Kanyon, plus I'm sure many others that are probably out to the wrestlers but not the world.

Have you ever spent time around pro-wrestlers? It is honestly the oddest subculture of people I've ever seen. It's like "Misfit Island" and just about anyone and everyone is accepted. At least, that was my experience. We had greenhorn Indy guys and ECW/WCW veterans.

Wrestlers are all kinda gay in a way.
They hug each other a lot, tell each other they love them, walk around naked all the time it is very weird at times. I could go on.
And yes you can include my old man in all that stuff.

I'm gonna have to write something one day on wrestling subculture.

Billy Jack Haynes used to come into my work all the time when I was in high school. Also had a high school security guard was former wrestler but not much else. I see what you're saying they have a unique culture.

not a big deal in this day and age. just another way for vinny mac to tap into another demographic. a few years back he was looking for a chinese giant, so this fits in perfect with his master plan. notice darren y and his partner are actually getting a push after being pretty much being buried as a crime-time rip-off.[prime-time players].

Its not being gay because you hug someone OR say you love them, Its a brotherhood.....You build a bond with them because of how you become able to trust each other with your very lives. If one thing in the ring goes wrong it could end up being life threatening and because of the trust you build alot of deep bonds with the guys.

I'm very aware how the wrestling buisness works and thats not exactly what I meant by wrestlers being gay.
