Darren Young has become the first openly gay wrestler while signed to a major promotion, my question to you guys is...how do you think it will effect his standing within the WWE...PTP have hardly been main eventers but do you see this pushing them further down the card or improving their standing? Do you think WWE will attempt to use this as a way of showing they are equal opportunity or can you see an offensively cliche storyline coming out of this news. How do you think fellow WWE superstars will react...do you see some people refusing to work with him?

I myself think it's amazing that he's been brave enough to come out and think his message is dead on when he says "does it matter?" or asks if it changes the person's opinion of him because of it...hope that WWE and his fellow roster members support him and show that being gay is not something you should be ashamed of or hide, I'm not saying push him for this reason alone but just make sure he doesn't get buried for being gay...only time will tell though.

I've tried to tip toe around this but I can't think of any other way to word it

Is this why Darren Young got the win on Monday? That was a pretty big win for them to pick it up, and when it has been a PTP win its usually because of Titus O'Neill

I don't mean that to sound horrible, I have no problems with it whatsoever (kudos to him in fact) but I honestly can't remember the last time I seen him pin somebody, I didn't even realise he had a finisher until Monday

I have to say he was looking almost untouchable...regardless of him coming out though PTP seem to have always have been over...hope they go far...that finisher is sweet too.

Disagree, I think he has to be pushed because the fans have reacted to him so well. They were really over as faces on Monday Night, the crowd reacted so he should be pushed. If it has drawn people to react to him, especially with how affable he was with it, then it is just a factor of his being that has helped him get over with the crowd, and like anyone else he will be given a certain amount of push.
