I doubt it. Both with most likely how poorly the WWE would handle the superstar, and the high possibility of ignorant crowds chanting derogatory terms. It just seems like a powder keg ready to go off

I could see it in 15-20 years once society becomes more open-minded.

I honestly don't trust them to do it with respect.

Considering the evil xenophobic heels got USA chants I have feeling a gay wrestler wouldn't do well, he'd have to go heel at the very least

I'm not sure about debut because it should be something that just eventually comes up. Usually sexual orientation isn't discussed with anybody for the most part when they come in, so the same would have to go with guys.
I have a feeling they may go the gay direction with Fandango though. My room mate, who doesn't watch wrestling, loved Fandango when she saw him on TV while I was watching it, and thought he was gay. It is a bit of stereotyping with the way Fandango moves around, but then again, he also doesn't meet the stereotype of a pro wrestler or a ballroom dancer.

I think the question should be "When will the 'Gay Wrestler' topics go away?"

I think a really good publicity stunt would be WWE holding an actual gay marriage and following through with it and having 2 male wrestlers who are married.
Eventually it ends in divorce in some overly dramatic story line but imagine the ratings for the gay wedding RAW/Smackdown

I love this thread. If this thread is a joke on the fact that this ideas comes up constantly (One example: www.officialfan.proboards.com/thread/473017/shield-gay), I love it for its humor. If this thread is serious about this idea and has not looked at/been on this board long enough to research this (or look up similar threads), I love it for its sincerity. I love this thread. |

I think the question should be "When will the 'Gay Wrestler' topics go away?" Seriously. It's a bi-weekly occurrence now. |

I think the question should be "When will the 'Gay Wrestler' topics go away?" The answer to both questions is the same really. |

I don't know but I think we should talk about it more. And more and more and more. And I think if instead of treating him like the actual person that he is, or judging his merits as a professional wrestler, we focused entirely on his blackness as an object, I think we could make monumental strides in the name of race relations. |

I think the question should be "When will the 'Gay Wrestler' topics go away?" Honestly. One, who cares what the person's sexuality is. Two, it's none of our damn business what it is. Three, the last thing we need is WWE glorifying homosexuality. |
