As far as 2005 goes regarding that subject matter. It was surprisingly well handled by the crowd.

@@aluminumsalmongames6277 they handled it like everything else in the show. With lackluster applause. It’s a shame because it was a big deal for Kanyon and the world of pro wrestling.

[@sleepinggorilla]

Dark Side of the ring did an episode about Kanyon where they talk about this. Kanyon was desperately trying to make a come back as the first openly gay wrestler. It was not a big deal to fans anymore and Kanyon was considered toxic. I think this was what led to that one night return leading to that nasty beat down he received.

DNA probably looked at all that and realized where he might end up in his twilight wrestling years and went, "Nope. I'm good." If they'd promoted it less as a wCw tribute and more a legends tribute, as the organization title implies, it might have gone over better. Plus, it did seem like there was enough there for Jimmy to attempt to follow up on, but it eventually fizzled out. Quite the gig for Starrcast. Congrats!

[@Chronic10101]

The "recent" wrestling footage from Memphis (mentioned around 6:30 minutes in) was actually from an early to mid 2000s Memphis wrestling promotion called... Memphis Wrestling. Promoted by Corey Maclin (with Jerry Lawler's fingerprints all over it) the promotion aired in the classic 10AM Memphis timeslot and was partly responsible for the Clash of Legends show from about a year after this event. A show mostly remembered for the Hogan/Paul Wight match. Memphis Wrestling also had a weird storyline where the promotion feuded with... XWF. In 2004.

[@mrterp04]

Ohhh so THAT’S what that show was called! I mostly know of it thanks to Paul “The Great” Wight’s infamous reaction to being referred to as The Big Show-“that’s my sl*ve name!”

[@Chronic10101]

@@mrterp04 Yes! Wasn't going to mention that tidbit, but yes that would be the same company. Memphis wrestling from the 2000s is a very odd slice of wrestling for many reasons outside of that but that's kind of the most well known moments. Hilariously, the Hulk Hogan/Paul Wight match was actually supposed to be Hulk Hogan vs. Jerry Lawler, but because Hogan was contracted to Viacom at the time (thanks to his reality series) Lawler and a few contract WWE personnel had to back out. We need a video on that show, some interesting stuff about that.

Sounds like it would make for quite a video. I love vids about random promos or events, I find this history stuff very interesting.

Im so Happy Promotion graveyard segment returns

[@justdirt]

Canyon coming out was done as tastefully as I could've expected from a wrestling show in the 2000s. It also confirms how cool of a dude DDP is in real life. This was also the biggest stage that would've let Canyon come out besides probably ROH It was only a year earlier that John Cena was calling people gay as an insult and years before that bullshit stigma around gay people subsided in wrestling. It was way out of left field, and they should've been a tag team and it should've happened after they won, but I doubt they cared about the booking on the show.

[@corriedebeer799]

Well that is not entirely true. The biggest stage for him to come out on is the one in new york where they host the tonys.

[@edhern619]

I agree but i feel this was the best way to get a decent match on the card. They work against each other very well and they knew each other.

[@tafua_a]

I've seen the Kanyon episode of Dark Side of The Ring, and apparently he was a bit disappointed about the reaction to his coming out, which according to the documentary was a resounding "...ok". He was frustrated that he wasted over thirty years trying to mask his homosexuality and seeing people say homophobic stuff without thinking much of it, only for the reveal to be treated as nothing special.

If Corny’s talking about the glory days or cutting kayfabe promos, he’s great. If he’s discussing modern day wrestling, then it’s painful for anyone without an axe to grind (which to be fair, is a lot of people depending on the subject). The thing is, I think he’d rather talk about the good old days in his bubble, but ranting about AEW brings the viewers.
