Yep, it's so, so camp. I think they only get away with it because the wrestlers are "fighting", which is manly and macho. Except most macho men don't fight with other blokes when they're semi-naked. Or rub themselves in oil. Or wear hot-pants.
Real wrestling is more gay than professional/fake wrestling.
Anyway, in the West, many male vs. male sports can trace some, if not most, of their aspects to classical Greece, where men oiled themselves up and often competed naked, as well as where homosexuality was at least tolerable, if not outright accepted.
Even in sports where athletes were not competing against each other one on one, it wasn't simply about who was fastest or strongest...it was about appreciating the magnificence of the human form. Greeks were not ashamed of appreciating a man's proportions or muscle tone...heck, we even give a nod to it today when we define a muscular male as "chiseled", "sculpted", or "cut", that is, like (one of those nude Greek) statues.
So if you wanted to call appreciation of masculinity by competitors and spectators as homoerotic, then I would have to say that many sports are inherently "gay." Wrestling is just probably the most obvious.
If wrestling is gay, then, by that logic, any kind of physical fighting is gay.
I don't think it's gay. If it were I might actually like watching it.
Not really. Wrestling is gay because it's about half naked men rubbing against each other and pinning each other on the floor. Most other forms of fighting usually have people wear some form of "decent" attire and actually fight with their fists and feet.
You know how Professional Wrestlers get paid a lot of money to oil themselves up and then wrestle with other guys in tights? I don't see them voluntarily slapping each other's ass because they made a "good move".
The same cannot be said about football players.
SO GAY
Like, a third of gay porn stars are straight. That doesn't make gay porn any less gay. :P
