WWE NEWS: BROCK LNAR'S CHARACTER ULD HAVE BEEN GAY AS PER FORMER WWE WRER

As far back as 2002, WWE had plans to make Brock Lnar an openly gay character, but their blueprt was way more progrsive than you'd expect. While the plan was to always build Lnar as a domant force wh WWE, apparently the ia of makg The Beast a homosexual wrtler was legimately discsed.

Intertgly enough, Lnar wouldn't monstrate any stereotyp that are attached to beg gay.

In a recent terview that former WWE wrer Brian Solomon had wh the Wrtlg Observer, Solomon revealed that he pched an ia to Stephanie McMahon about Brock Lnar's character beg gay.

Solomon stated that Lnar wouldn't exhib any of the stereotyp of certa gay men such as "prancg around", but would be a plete a** kicker.
