I would guess more than a few wrestlers are in the closet.

Are they really in the closet?

Good point.

Must be extremely slow at TMZ, because I think he's been out for at least 6 or 7 years, but I'm sure it's been "known" a lot longer than that.

Pat Patterson: "I'm gay"


Everyone: "We know"

I did not read the article (the next time I click on TMZ will be the first), but my understanding is that this was a scripted "shocker" for the end of the first season of their show about "legends" living in a house together like Big Brother or all that other drek on TV anymore.

I mean, I guess this is supposed to be something WWE considers doing so as to draw attention to itself in the press at the very least, and also likely try to capitalize on it by portraying themselves as a compassionate corporation to some degree or fashion, perhaps somewhatin conjunction with their slightly nauseating anti-bullying campaing they've been doing for some time now ... just nobody ever mention a JBL hazing story or Randy Orton shitting in some broad's equipment bag or any of the rumors over the years about Patterson (Pat, not Jen) playing 'Canadian Thanksgiving' with green wrestlers who were trying to break into the company, okay?

Breaking news: Jackie Robinson's children have admitted today that their father was an African American. More @ 10.

Not the most in-depth description, but Patterson had to take a leave of absence/hike for awhile. And even then, it wasn't news.
