Well, he actually told the world that 'Chris Kanyon' (his persona) was gay, which didn't make any sense but still made a few headlines.Ī month later he revealed the shocking truth - Chris Klucsarits was gay too! It was only this year that Chris had the not-so-bright idea of reviving his career with a publicity stunt - staging a press conference to tell the world he was gay. So alien is the idea of a gay wrestler that fans had not suspected a thing when, in 2003, Chris took on the Undertaker in a bout that began with Kanyon emerging from a closet - geddit?! - dressed as Boy George.
The macho world of wrestling, despite its fondness for muscly men in tight underpants grappling with each other, was predictably scandalised.
