PART ONE PART TWO

This is quite simply one of the most candid and informative wrestling interviews ever conducted! Chris Kanyon made headlines in early 2006 by being the first pro wrestler to publicly out himself as a gay man. Kanyon spoke at length about the incident last week in Tampa where he held signs up when standing ringside at a WWE house show. He held signs that read "HHH, Ask Vince why he really fired me" and "Shawn, please pray for my gay soul". Many of Kanyon's closest friends admitted to Tha O Show that even they weren't sure if this story was a work... Kanyon said he currently has no deal with the WWE, but isn't sure if this is in fact a work. Could the WWE be allowing this to unfold much like the Matt Hardy revolution of 2005?

Since that time, stories have arisen about Kanyon having been fired by the WWE simply for that fact.

PLUS!!!

Kanyon blew the lid off of one of the biggest stories in the history of professional wrestling. For the first time ever, he publicly discussed a casual conversation he had with Bret Hart. You won't BELIEVE what Bret told Chris about the Montreal screwjob! Bret Hart admitted the whole thing, WAS A WORK! Don't believe it? LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW!
