From here:

A WWE wrestler shocked his interviewer by casually declaring that he’s gay – and then added, ‘to be honest, I don’t think it matters.’

Darren Young, real name Fred Rosser, is thought to be the first major professional wrestler to come out while still active in the ring.

I’m shocked, too. I thought all WWE wrestlers were gay; I was waiting for one of them to come out as straight. Sweaty men grappling with sweaty men, the posturing, playacting and overdone bravura – it seemed fairly obvious.
