In the reunion show for WWE Network's Legends House reality TV show, Pat Patterson, for the first time touched on what it felt like to come out and what it meant for him to have the love and support of his friends and colleagues as he made that difficult announcement. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper spoke as well on the subject, but it was Patterson's remarks that were most important.

As he mentioned, it wasn't exactly a secret that Patterson was and is gay. It had been mentioned in books and interviews, but never really became a topic of conversation. But Patterson never admitted to anything until Legends House. In the video above, he expresses his relief for finally not having to lie anymore and his appreciation for the support he received.
