Speaking on the WWE reality series Legends' House, the 73-year-old made the emotional announcement over dinner with other 'legends'.

"Sitting here tonight, I'm going to say something that I would never want to say publicly," he began.

"But being here with you guys, for once in my life, I'm going to be me now. I survived all this being gay."

He also spoke about about a previous relationship: "I had a friend with me for 40 years, and I lost him, because he had a heart attack, and I end up alone. It's tough, guys. It's tough."

He went on to say he doesn't regret any choices he has made, explaining: "I gave my life to the business, I don't regret nothing. For the rest of my life, I want to be happy."

Patterson is the second WWE wrestler to come out as gay, following Darren Young's announcement in 2013.
