After hearing the story about how Mark Henry got the name Silverback because one writer kept referring to him as King Kong, I ask you this question.

anything from f4w should be taken with a grain of salt, but assuming it is true i see no reason to believe it has racist overtones

I picked other....
Secret Santas! Yay!
I probably would have picked secret racists, but HHH's and Lawler's various comments during the HHH/Booker T feud in 2003 sure as hell weren't secret at all.

And don't forget JBL's comments about Hispanics when he was feuding with Eddie and everything thereafter! |

Don't take this as an insult (it isn't), but taking into account the general aesthetic of wrestling, there has to be a lot more closeted gays then we may speculate.

I thought this was going to be a thread on the "Backstage HEAT!"
Also, I remember when Henry climbed to the top of a cage (after taking out Batista) and was banging on his chest. Maybe that's how he got the King Kong nickname.

"Rookie, you didn't say God Bless You when I sneezed! I condemn you to be Viscera's sweat mopper for the next year!" Honestly, I've seen people get sent to Wrestling Court for less. And the punishment is usually something just as stupid. |

All the homophobic undertones (Sometimes overtones) in wrestling would lead me to almost guarantee that there is way more closeted homosexual activity among wrestlers than the general public would know. While most rumors are asinine, it's very likely that something has happened for a lot of them and they would be unwilling to ever address it in public for fear of reprisal or condemnation.

Homosexuality in wrestling, what ever gave you that idea? LMAO |

Judging from the urban legends, I would say that wrestlers (so far at least the male population, excluding Hulk Hogan) do not know how to use toilets. Almost every urban legend reads like a mad lib.

I'm thinking lots of hidden drug usage going on. Not just painkillers and steroids but all the other good stuff. Largely since wrestlers probably often have very little time to enjoy much else.
