WWE Legend Pat Patterson has just revealed that for the past 50 years he has hiding the fact he is gay, and has now finally decided to go public. The 73-year-old dropped the news on the finale of WWE Network’s “Legends House” saying, “For once in my life I’m going to be me now.”

The WWE executive explained he’s kept the secret out of the public eye for 5 decades… and he and had a long-term partner for 40 years, before he passed away from a heart attack.

The reaction from Patterson’s fellow legends was to tell him, “We love you Pat … we always love you.”

Patterson was the first-ever WWE Intercontinental Champion and has been Vince McMahon’s right-hand man for decades.
