Speaking at a Beyond Sport United event in New York this week, WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon said her organization -- best known for its wrestling showdowns -- is committed to LGBT inclusivity.

Will there be a new Gorgeous George?

[Mjreagan]

And that’s the only end of wrestling. They might be headquartered in CT, but where do they think their strongest fan base comes from. PC kills again.

[o-n-money]

I stopped watching wrestling in the 80s. It’s fake now. s/

[Harpotoo]

They already had a black tag team member come out as gay about a year ago with no ill affect that I can see (cant remember his name though). wwE where the E is entertainment. Oh also Golddust’s character has been playing around the edges for a while now.

And every time this wrestler loses a match, the winner gets charged with a hate crime? /h

[Donglalinger]

[TexasGator]

It was always fake.

[Mr. Jeeves]

They can sell lesbian wrestling, true, but only with adequate visuals. :)

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

BEAT me to it! ;-D

[NorthMountain]

This dude always looked more than a little fruity to me ...

[Donglalinger]

Translation: Hot Lesbians

[MGG]

So they aren’t going to market towards kids anymore.....

[Albion Wilde]

Who is that?

[NorthMountain]

HEY!!! It IS fun to stay at the YMCA!

[MIchaelTArchangel]

How about AIDS Man and the Rug Muncher as characters?

Or Ivanna Dick?

Or Lop Oneoffmi?

[TakebackGOP]

I haven’t watched it in over 15 years.

[Ransomed]

Holy cow how can it be any gayer than it is already? Isn’t it a scripted male oriented soap opera with half naked oily behemoths fake fighting each other?

Freegards

[NorthMountain]

Jesse “The Body” Ventura ...

[struggle]

They already had Billy and Chuck.

[dowcaet]

They’ll add more oil I guess.
