Paid Members JNLister Posted September 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 25, 2012 Might be worth looking up some of the (presumably) straight wrestlers who did some specialist interest matches on the continent with small trunks and lots of go-behinds.

Loki Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Am I right in thinking that, as a result of the various lawsuits and so on, Pat Patterson is publicly gay, or have I got that wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fye Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Pat is openly gay, its mentioned on some of the roundtable discussions and I think Sherri joked about it during her hall of fame speech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Rock Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm gay and I refereed for wZw in the North East for 5 years. Â I just want to say though this is a bullshit topic to start, why not start a topic Hetro-sexuality in wrestling? What difference does it make if homosexual people work in pro-wrestling and why would you want to find out who? Whilst your at it why don't you look for black people in wrestling? Or people with blonde hair? Its not anybodys business if gay want to work in wrestling, gay, bi-sexual people are no different to anybody else. Â Whether or not wrestlers or people who work in British wrestling are gay or bi-sexual or whatever its nobodys right to put their names on a public forum whether they are out or not. Â For a forum to discuss a sport that's been around for over 100 years am sure you can find something more fitting to talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he wants to speak to gay people in wrestling about their viewpoints and experiences of working in an industry that can be quite controversial in its treatment of them.

The Guvnor Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I personally know, and know of, many wrestlers / promoters / staff who are openly gay or bisexual. I also know others who are still in the closet and it's not open knowledge. Â I won't name them, however, as I don't know whether they'd approve of their personal lives being discussed on a public forum. You'll probably find that rings true in most cases.

rocky64 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I know a few who are gay but I don't think a message board is the place to be putting people. There is one former star of british wrestling who own numerous gay bisuinesses in Blackpool. I dunno if it's a big secret or not but he was one of the original mega stars. He drive a Lamborghini aswell although in sure certain other people think he might drive a Suzuki because that so ken  Steven thinks I who refereed and wrestled as Steven brown is also gay, I know he won't mind me mentioning that as he's a good personal friend who is quite open about it anyway.  I don't mean to be rude to cage fighters, but homosexuality and bisexuality is more common amongst them. Theres one quite notable one who is an asbsoloute prick who lives in blackpool he's cheated on my mate and tried breaking me and Sean up, needless to say he no longer works in the flying handbag.  In my honest opinion I don't think think there will ever be a complete acceptance of homosexuality in physical sports because rightly or wrongly people still consider some BBV a gay problem and with the incubation for such illnesses been upto eighteen months in some cases I believe some people would be wary about stepping into the ring with someone because of the risk of catching something. Even though things like hepatitis and HIV are just as common amongst heterosexual people especially those involved with drugs. To be honest I would imagine wrestlers are quite a high risk group of catching something considering the steroid and drug use. I'd also imagine hair clippers are shared in the locker rooms and by those on the road together aswell.  As I've discussed aswell previously wrestling is called gay by a lot of people or considerd a gay thing. Because its fake and the over exuberance in showmanship and performance. This is why mascinity is I overly expressed in wrestling to quash such a belief, the same reason whilst woman's wrestling is so full of innuendo.  I could go on and on but I won't.  It is good that we've seen more gay and bi people come out in recent times but I don't believe any such people will ever make a huge name in the bisuiness simply because of the pregidous some people have towards gay people and idea of rolling round with a gay man for some is too much even if they accepting of homosexuality and I can fully understand that. Even the most professional of people would worry if there opponent is getting some sexual satisfactaion from the performance there putting on.  In the gay community there is actaully quite a fetish for wrestling, you can buy wrestling singlets etc from most major sex shops and the back of most gay magazine. There's also a lot of porn that wrestling based as well as several underground wrestling federations which put on wrestling bouts of a sexual nature. Much like you will nightclubs putting on topless woman's wrestling etc.  Personally I don't find anything sexual about wrestling, its something I've enjoyed since childhood and I don't like the idea of sexualising my childhood memories.

There's also a bondage dungeon and one of the properties he owns, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Lucille Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 How strange; I've just visited Chris Botherway's facebook page, and he seems to be in a long term relationship with a woman. Â Hmm. I wonder if the story about him being gay was spread on this forum by a vindictive promoter he used to work for as a sad attempt at a rib?

Dan Williams Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm sure the whole Botherway thing was revealed as a rib against him at the time, I think it was by some fellow wrestlers but can't be certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
