Considering that Jesse would crack about the Brawler being a graduate of the Patterson school of wrestling and Pat Patterson was the master of the go behind, I'd say Patterson wins this pretty easily.

I thought it was common knowledge that Steph and H had a sham marriage to cover up Hunter and Pat's forbidden love.
Go and watch the Triple H DVD, replacing Stephanie with Pat in every scene, and it makes total sense.

Keep in mind plenty of people that watch the WWE network might be younger people that don't even know who Patterson is.
The on screen references to Patterson were all from many years ago.
Time moves fast. Consider how many people watch WWE that weren't even alive when Austin did his KOTR promo in 96.

The point wasn't that it was a secret to anyone, casual fan or otherwise, it was the fact that he said it aloud publicly. Who already knew meant nothing. He wasn't exactly hiding. Hell, a few weeks earlier he was asking the deli guy about his meat.

I don't think Steph and Hunter being married has been a secret in any regard for a very, very long time.

I'd have liked to see Hacksaw Duggan go apeshit over this revelation. "Now hold on there a second Pat! Are you saying you're QUEER???,!!!!

Between Darren Young and Pat Patterson coming out to a tolerant reaction from the company and fans, WWE have had a great two years with PR on gay issues.

I hate when people come out and it's treated as news. Why should I give a f*** if you're gay? People always talk about coming out to their parents and such but If my kid brought a boy back home and said "This is my boyfriend" I wouldn't bat an eye. Why should my son have to come out as gay if I didn't have to come out as straight?

I thought the worst kept secret was that my client, Brock Lesnar, conquered the Streak.

I distinctly remember my Grandma and I watching the *Donahue* show with Barry O and the accusation. I didn't think much of it at the time. I was going and didn't get much of the point. I just shrugged it off as weird and mostly false. The end result was what it was, but I thought the inside joke was that Pat WAS gay. (I.e.: Ask JR's references to "moldy fruit".)
That's my rationale for voting for HHH/ Stephanie.

If Hornswoggle was gay and admitted it publicly-would you say he come out of the cabinet?

Time moves fast. Consider how many people watch WWE that weren't even alive when Austin did his KOTR promo in 96. So is he going to have to keep coming out every few years? This is just people making news about something that is well known, but they are desperate to find something to talk about and pass off as "news"

Why should my son have to come out as gay if I didn't have to come out as straight? Straight people aren't culturally subordinate. Straight people aren't beaten by police for being straight. Straight people aren't kicked out of their house at 16 for coming out as straight. Straight people aren't executed in some countries for being openly straight. That's why being openly gay is a big thing. Good for Pat for finally being able to be himself, completely. And good for Vince for giving him an outlet to do it in.
