Google Trends Shows Chris Kanyon Comes Out As Upstaging Suicide

Chris Kanyon, really Christopher Klucsaritis, came out as one of professional wrestling’s first openly gay competitors. Sadly, even after Christopher Klucsaritis's recently reported suicide, his sexual orientation is more important to the people of the Googlesphere. Forget that the 6-foot-5, 250-pound Christopher Klucsaritis was found dead in his Queen apartment with "scores of pills" near his body, as reported by the New York Daily News. Forget that he had a successful career in the World Championship Wrestling and WWE which included a run in the WCW championship tag team “Men at Work,” that he was friendly, that he was outgoing, and that he was only forty years old. According to those who use Google right now, “Chris Kanyon comes out” is much more important.

Bravery is at least indicated by “Chris Kanyon comes out”

Out Sports grabbed an interview around the time that Chris Kanyon comes out. Klucsaritis told the magazine the following:

"People cannot say I'm just doing to make a name for myself; I've already made a name for myself. I've already accomplished almost every one of my goals in wrestling... Coming out isn't about me. This is, hopefully, about helping others, especially kids, who are struggling with their sexuality. I want to be a role-model to them, someone they can look up to."

So Chris Klucsaritis’ career wasn’t his purpose or for any other public purpose. He did it because he was concerned with others, no matter what the community of macho wrestling might say. That probably takes some guys.

A big deal to the gay sports community

Chris Kanyon comes out was huge news. Looking back on his author, former wrestler, and colleague Mick Foley (aka "Mankind") said on his MySpace blog that he wishes "there was more tolerance in the world, so that people wouldn't have to struggle so hard and go through so much emotional pain just to live the life they want to.". He also hopes that Chris Kanyon finds some peace, which his apparent suicide probably indicates he was lacking, and that others struggling with depression and similar issues look to family, friends and professionals for support and care. Maybe depression became a danger just like it did for other professional athletes who were no longer able to perform as they once did. Foley acknowledged many others in wrestling who crashed and after the cheers died.

"I really wish there was some kind of emotional crash pad for wrestlers to land on when the bright lights dim, or when injuries take their toll, or when one is finally forced to face the fact that the next big break just might not come around."

Chris Kanyon comes out? Yeah, he did already. In 2006.

Googlers should care more about how Christopher Klucsaritis lived.
