(9,796 posts)According to Chris Kanyon's autobiography, Vince is rather homophobic. I'm taking teh supportive statement from WWE as an indication of how power is shifting behind the scenes to Steph and Triple H.

Millions of dollars! Millions of dollars! (That's the Prime Time Players, the tag team that Young is a part of, catchphrase)
Seriously, though, great for him. I've been a fan of his since Nexus.

(9,796 posts)So far, he's had supportive Tweets from Triple H (WWE COO & head of talent), Stephanie MacMahon (head booker/writer), Jim Ross, Chavo Guerrero, Rosa Mendes Greg "Hurricane" Helms, Joey Ryan, Kenny King, Matt Morgan, Steve Corino and John Cena (currently the biggest star in the western wrestling world).
It's going to be really tough to keep Young and the Prime-Time Players heels (bad guys) for the next few weeks.
