I can’t believe nobody has mentioned the name Adrian Adonis yet. I remember when he came out to fight, all of the spectators were chanting “f*ggit! f*aggit!” Ahhh...The 80s.

I stopped watching wrestling in the 80s. It’s fake now. s/

Similar here. That is about the time Roller Derby went from sporty to showboat entertainment.

Very well then, nobody will watch it. Just like nobody will watch the new gay Star Trek.

I haven’t watched wrestling since the days of Dick the Bruiser, the Crusher, Baron von Raschke, and Bulldog Henning. Von Raschke could draw blood with his Iron Claw, and the Bulldog, never a favorite of fans, would scowl and growl at them when they barked at him like dogs. Ah, things were much simpler then.

I was also waiting for someone to mention Adrian Adonis (real name Keith Franke.) For the record, he wasn't gay, but was forced to adopt that persona by Vince McMahon Jr. At that point, he had gained a lot of weight and his career was on a downward spiral. He pretty much had to go along with the gimmick if he wanted to keep working in the business.

Oh, lordy. He is one of the few wrestlers I normally recognize. What a get-up in that photo.

"It's always been accepted, but now it's about getting that message out there."

You moron, acceptance and always being known is not a message. What you're doing is advertising and creating a cause.

Nothing like watching two homosexuals using the crotch hold.

Bingo. There’s some aspects of this policy that I can champion, namely the Divas, although Cena’s probably not going to be happy if Nikki Bella goes the other way.....

Darrin Young came out and was buried immediately. He has come back the past few months with this new schtick with Bob Backlund “Make Darrin Young Great Again” which has fizzled out and he is pretty much a jobber now.
