Mike Pucillo, a three-time All-American and 2008 NCAA Division I Championship wrestler at Ohio State, has revealed he’s a gay man.

Congrats, Mike!

I’m sure you’re being greeted with open ~~legs~~, arms by other gay men in your area!

Mr. Pucillo began the coming out process 15 months ago by coming out to a fellow wrestler. He now reveals all in an interview with the gay sports website, The Open Mat.

It should be noted that Mr. Pucillo is no longer in college nor is he a competitive wrestler.

No, begging him to ‘rassle with you isn’t going to change his mind….
