Biggest shock since Ricky Martin came out :stopitslime:

I'm gonna keep it real: Ricky Martin surprised me

Yeah, I heard a few gay jokes/rumors here and there like everyone else did.....but I thought they were just standard, baseless jokes/rumors that people usually made about rich, famous & attractive men (no homo) e.g. George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, etc.

I didn't realize dude was actually believed to be in the closet. All I knew was he was the latino heart-throb who did Living La Vida Loca. So when he came out, I was like :dahell:. I was even more :dahell: when people acted like they knew the whole damn time, while I completely missed it

Same thing with Luther.....finding out about his orientation after his death had me like :ohhh: . But that was mainly because I only knew Luther through his hit songs, and assumed he was a romantic, straight black man. After the fact, when I saw him doing old interviews and heard how he talked, saw his mannerisms, saying how he wanted to do interior design and how much he loved Barbra Streisand/Bette Midler, I was like "Yeah.....that nikka was gay :heh:"

Tom Cruise has been an open secret for a long time.

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
Didn't Sensational Sherri "out" him during her HOF speech?

More like Jim Ross outed him in an episode of RAW in 1999.

*Patterson rips off his shirt to Real American music*
Jim Ross: Remember, he's single, fellas!
Jerry Lawler: AHAHAHAHA!

And later on in life, I realized it had been far known before then due to Vince's appearance of Phil Donahue's show:



Check out Meltzer's mullet. :russ: But Vince and Dave sitting next to each other later on in the program, :ohhh:

WWE legend Pat Patterson just revealed that he's been living in the closet for the past 50 years -- and has finally decided to go public about that fact he's a gay man.

The 73-year-old dropped the news on the finale of WWE Network's "Legends' House" ... saying, "For once in my life I'm going to be me now."

Patterson -- who's a WWE exec -- explained that he's been keeping the secret out of the public eye for 5 decades ... and had a partner for roughly 40 years, but he passed away after suffering a heart attack.

Patterson has been Vince McMahon's right hand man for decades ... he also was the company's first Intercontinental champion and helped create the "Royal Rumble."

The whole thing was incredibly emotional ... and the reaction from Pat's fellow wrestling legends was touching -- with the guys telling him, "We love you Pat ... we always love you."

Obviously, every other legend in there knew this. The show even alluded to it in the first or second episode when Pat went to the grocery store to get meat and said to the meat guy "You like to handle meat boy?" :shaq:

This show was originally made for TV and this was probably going to be a big reveal that they figured the audience wouldn't know about, but people who subscribed to the network and are actually watching this already know about it.
