Former WWE Superstar Darren Young has said he was pleased with Finn Bálor's WrestleMania entrance, which celebrated the LGBT community, but disappointed he wasn't able to participate.Â
Young, who was WWE's first openly gay superstar, said in an interview with Uproxx, that he is thrilled to see the LGBT community embraced by WWE, but wishes he could have been a part of the entrance.
He said: "To see those guys represent the LGBT community meant the world to me. But I'll be honest with you, man. When I got released, I was okay with it, but when I'm seeing them do that [LGBT] representation, I was devastated.
"I would've loved to have been invited just to see that we're making moves, but I wasn't invited to something that I begged and pleaded to embrace."
