Darren Young was the special guest on AfterBuzz TV's X-Pac 12360 this week with Sean Waltman, which you can watch in the video down below, or download on iTunes.

Young had the following to say about hiding the fact he was gay before he came out.

"I always knew I just surprised my feelings. Just fear of judgment you know fear of losing friends so… For thirty years I'm thirty-three now for thirty years I just lived my life not being myself so just imagine you know. Think of your most down moment you're in life and times it by ten that's how I felt. Just imagine not being able to be like other normal couples. That's what I wanted to be ultimately as I grew up. I wanted to be like normal couples. I want to be able to hold hands in public and be affectionate when the time is right in a classy way. But that was my main goal that was my main goal and I accomplished it by coming out to TMZ ."

 Shockingly enough, Mark Henry was the one to call him gay before he did come out to the public.

"When I first came up on the roster I had I had hair like Enzo (Amore) kind of it was spiky and stuff like that. So, Mark Henry, you know how he is. He's just sitting there in the locker and he's like, and this is a couple months on the road and he's like,"Boy" and he's long winded. "Boy why you got your hair like that?" Again I can say this story because he's going to be putting this in his book so I told him, "Hey when I have an opportunity to tell this story I'm going to tell it because I don't want to at first offend him but he's okay with it so again he's sitting there, "Boy why you got your hair like that?"

I said, "Mark (biting my nails) Mark I'm just trying to be different. I'm just trying to stand out." "Well you know it makes you look gay." And this was before I came out so I'm just stuttering like I am now. Mark, I'm just trying to be different man you know.

Fast-forward to when I like came out. The morning I came out he called me, this was in LA at the hotel, he called me and said, "Come down to the green room." This was during SummerSlam… I went down to the green room and he gave me the biggest hug and he was like, "Man how come you didn't tell me?" I was like, "Mark I didn't tell nobody. You know how hard it is for me." And Mark said you know in his book when he writes a book… one of the chapters is going to be about me and the caption is going to be, Insert foot in mouth."
