Brodus Clay On How The WWE Locker Room Reacted To Darren Young Coming Out
- As noted, former WWE Superstar Brodus Clay recently did a YouShoot shoot interview with Kayfabe Commentaries. The DVD is available for $20 and the VOD version is available for $15.99 at this link. Brodus was asked if there was any sentiment among other talents that Darren Young came out for job security because it would be harder for the company to release their openly gay Superstar. Brodus replied:
"Well he got there. Darren is a Superstar and he's a great worker. His work got him there. To be honest with you, our locker room, we have openly gay guys we work with and it was never a big deal.
"I think for him probably he just made himself more comfortable. In terms of the locker room, it wasn't a big deal. One of the greatest teachers and stars in our business, Mr. Pat Patterson. We weren't like, "oh my what?" We're past that. Our locker room is very accepting of that. Honestly, we're probably more angry if someone's not reading comic books than whether they're gay or straight."
