MightyJordan Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I understand all of those except for GORILLA ... is that an acronym or is there actually a gorilla on tour with the WWE? It refers to the gorilla position which is basically an area behind the curtain where they manage stuff. Although i wouldn't put it past them to include a gorilla in the storylines :p It's also where the talent usually lurks when they're waiting for their cue. And the gorilla position is named after the late great Gorilla Monsoon, as that's where he usually was later on in his career after he stopped commentating.

Gorilla is the position just behind the curtain, where Monsoon would sit.

MightyJordan Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 PWInsider.com is reporting WWE now has the goal of getting SmackDown up to par with RAW. The current deal with Syfy expires next month and it's expected a new deal will be signed. There is talk of more focus being put on SmackDown to make the quality of the programming better as well as considering expanding it to three hours to feature more stories. Making it live would be a good start.

Rappy Veteran Posted August 15, 2013 Veteran Share Posted August 15, 2013 WWE superstar Darren Young just dropped a bombshell, telling TMZ, he's gay ... and no, this isn't part of the act. Darren was at LAX Wednesday when we asked whether a gay wrestler could succeed in WWE, and Darren laughed, saying, "Absolutely. Look at me. I'm a WWE superstar and to be honest with you, I'll tell you right now, I'm gay. And I'm happy. I'm very happy." For the record, Darren is now the first openly gay wrestler ever at WWE ... and the first headlining wrestler ever to come out while still signed to a major promotion. Other pro wrestlers have been rumored to be gay, but that's it ... just rumors. http://www.tmz.com/2013/08/15/darren-young-wwe-superstar-gay/ Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/621597-the-big-wrestling-thread/page/419/#findComment-595881067 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted August 15, 2013 Veteran Share Posted August 15, 2013 John Cena just learned that Darren Young came out as the first openly gay WWE superstar ... and Cena tells TMZ he couldn't be happier for the guy. "Oh wonderful," Cena said ... "I know Darren personally. Darren's a great guy. That's a very bold move for him. And congratulations for him for actually finally doing it." Cena says he's proud of his friend ... especially because he has a brother who is gay and he knows how tough it can be to come out. As for the WWE, Cena says he doesn't think the organization will care one way or the other -- and that's a good thing. "For us, it's entertainment ... and if you're entertaining you shouldn't be judged by race, creed, color or sexuality ... as long as you're entertaining http://www.tmz.com/2013/08/15/john-cena-darren-young-gay-support-wwe/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/621597-the-big-wrestling-thread/page/419/#findComment-595881363 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may only know some of them in a professional capacity. it sounds like John already knew A lot of times people let their close friends know before coming out publicly.
