Pro Wrestler Reveals He’s Gay to TMZ Cameraman

Normally, conversations between a TMZ cameraman and a celebrity usually go something like this,

“TMZ: Hey…big fan…big fan. Where you headed?

Celebrity: Thanks. I’m going to New York.

TMZ: Oh, okay! Cool. Thanks for talking with me.

Celebrity: Sure thing.”

It’s usually nothing to write home about. However, one TMZ cameraman recently got the shock of his life when WWE star Darren Young revealed he was gay during a routine “interview.”

The cameraman caught up with Darren at LAX and began to ask Darren what he thought of gay wrestlers, asking him whether or not a gay wrestler could be successful in the WWE. Darren surprised everyone when he responded by saying,

“Absolutely. Look at me. I’m a WWE superstar and to be honest with you, I’ll tell you right now, I’m gay. And I’m happy. I’m very happy.”

After the cameraman got over the initial shock from his response, he asked Darren how he thought other wrestlers would take the news,

“We’re all adults. All sports are physical. When I come to work, I come to work. Business is business. Some people might not like it, and some people will like it.”

He added that he hopes he is able to make a difference, and hopes that he can make people realize that someone’s sexual preference doesn’t really matter at the end of the day.

You can watch video of the encounter by clicking here, but I have to ask, is this really all that surprising? That a dude who likes to dress up in costumes and fight half naked men in a ring is gay? Has anybody watched a wrestling match?

You’re telling me that this move right here doesn’t look gay to you?

Come on now…let’s be real here.
