Just watched a clip on that popular video site and a couple of things don't seem right with this. Firstly off all the questions in the world you could ask a pro wrestler about pro wrestling, what are the odds of a closeted gay wrestler being asked about gay wrestlers? :S Also, search 'Darren young wwe' on said site. During a clip where Cena gets informed of Young's coming out, his girlfriend (whichever Bella he's seeing - I always mix them up, lol) appears to turn away, seemingly to hide laughing.
Anakin, I feel very bad asking / suggesting this, but do you think the entire thing could indeed be a work?!! Like I said I know it's an awful suggestion on paper, but from watching WWF/E for 18 years it seems like there's nothing they won't do for mainstream publicity, and this has reached people who probably haven't watched wrestling in years (I've been stunned to see the likes of The Guardian and Fox jump on board for example). This must be the most mainstream press WWE has had for a decade+. If it's all genuine I commend Young a lot and apologise, but nothing shocks me with wrestling these days.

I think it's more likely that Miss Bella is a bitch (No shock there) and she was just showing he usual contempt for anyone with differing views to her. An example of this was when AJ was delivering her great promo the Bella twins couldn't keep their traps shut and actually let someone else with talent take the spotlight.

As for the random question I am guessing he knew all to well Young was gay and was on a fishing trip and the 'shock' was because he actually came right out and said it.

Think it was a worked shoot.

Young planned to come out, the questions were loaded and WWE gets publicity.... While Young gets the push he probably wouldn't have got otherwise.

I'm bored of the Daniel Bryan v Orton/HHH feud already...

Is it going to be the same thing every week??

HHH on the mic telling everyone "it was good for the WWE" while Orton just stands there...
Bryan comes on to the ramp calling HHH a sell out....
HHH puts Bryan in ridiculous match and then he's beaten down buy the Shield..

I think Monday with Bryan vs Big Show could have worked if they'd done the finger poke of doom with Bryan winning.
Yes, it annoyed everyone when Hogan and Nash did it, but that was just down to super-egos running amok.

Where as, on Monday, you've got Show being put in a position where he's forced to fight but instead screws the bad guys and Bryan gets a win.

Say what you want about Orton v Bryan but the American Dragon is still running hot with the crowds! He's as over as the Undertaker!

The storyline is a bit repetitive but seeing HHH as a heel makes me wonder why he's spent even a second as a face, let alone nearly 10 years. Comes into his own as an antagonist.

Loved Orton vs Goldust.

Agree with both i always thought HHH was an excellent heel back in the day... Thought Goldust was great on Monday night he and Orton put on a very good match..

Was that the worst PPV of the year then?

Re: Men in Lycra - the Wrestling thread : Tue Sep 17, 2013 6:32 pm  

Not seen Raw yet but from reading the read up of NOC on PW.net, it sounded absolutely s***e, so it's probably not worth downloading.

Re: Men in Lycra - the Wrestling thread : Wed Sep 18, 2013 8:53 am  

Really can't believe how s***e Raw has gotten over the last few weeks.

Poor Big Show. Started as a giant monster wrecking ball and now he's a blubbering idiot.
