I was wondering everybody knows that professional wrestling is fake to a certain degree but do you think professional wrestling is gay?
My dad told me a long time ago that he thinks professional wrestling is gay and everytime I watch X-Play review a WWE video game they talk about how much they think professional wrestling is homoerotic.
There is nothing slightly gay about it. Grown men wearing nothing put speedo's grabbing, touching, pinning each other on the ground and rubbing against eachothers hot sweaty bodies is a very manly thing.
Most of the wrestlers aren't gay, or don't have gay characters, so I don't see how it is gay. It's as gay as any kind of fighting is gay, wrestling is just a sort of play fighting.
It's just a soap opera.
That's what I was going to say, Rise. :cool: It's a soap opera for dudes.
It happens in many films *cough*:rolleyes2Quote:

UFC is about fourty times more homosexual than any form of professional wrestling. :monster:
Try telling me the Bronco Buster was thought up by a straight guy and I'll give you my hat
It was thought up by a straight guy who liked to scare homophobes.
It is gay, they touch each other in a way that is gay! :D
It's not gay, it's ghey. As in crappy and stupid.
It's ghey AND gay. Come on. Look at the posing. Look at the posturing. Look at the tights. Look at the grabs. Look at the fine oils. Look at the young gay boys having their first masturbatory fantasies about The Rock (or whatever raging queen is big these days)
Gay means happy, not dumb or stupid. It is also slang for homosexual.Quote:

I'm sort of torn between being serious or not. On one hand, I want to say it's basically softcore gay porn that the whole family can watch, but on the other hand I want to say that straight guys are already way too phobic about being in contact with each other in any way because people label them gay ASAP (which is insulting for some reason I guess), so to label wrestling as gay just furthers the idea that men must be 10 feet apart at all times.
Well, whatever. It's gay, let's just go with that.
Is professional wrestling gay? Not really
Are some of the wrestlers? Probably
Is watching two girls strip each other down to their underwear one of the hottest things on free tv? Definately
Pro Wrestling doesn't seem gay. But, I dislike it for its violence and cheesiness. I think high school wrestling is gay. The way they practically mount eachother makes me wonder.
Unless you've been under a rock for the past couple years, gay has taken on that meaning as well.Quote:

gay? no...but that's not to say that i wouldn't rather have my eyes removed with a grapefruit spoon
I do not recognize things as true defintions simply because a group of people decided to start using it in place of another word. Typically when a person calls something "gay" s/he means that, like homosexuality, it is generally frowned upon and not recognized as a good thing. Happy or Homosexual are the only meanings of the word "gay" that I will recognize as being correct.Quote:

uhh...when did gay come to mean homosexual though?...just because something is in the dictionary doesn't mean that it was always part of english ...someday soon, if it isn't already, the meaning of 'gay' might come to include something, like homosexuality, that is frowned upon and not recognized as a good thing....in webstersQuote:

Gay began to mean homosexual a long time ago, from a movie I believe, and it was used as a sort of code for people to recognize each other since discrimination was so high. They also used to say "Are you a friend of Dorothy's?" And if you said yes it meant you were homosexual (that's where the rainbow thing comes from...Wizard of Oz, over the rainbow, Dorothy, you know).
Anyway, since gay just means happy and is not negative it was latched on to and kept as slang and is now considered a double meaning word officially. Gay as a synonym for unlikeable is heterosexist slang and frowned upon because it puts forth the idea that being gay is something you would not want to be and is an insult.
So, that hoo-ha outta the way, this is like the third post I've seen like this lately. "Not gay meaning homosexual, the one meaning dumb." That sounds as ignorant as "That's so black. Not black African-American, but the one meaning stupid." You have to realize it sort of puts you in question when you run about saying such things. I think I'm more bugged by how socially accepted it is then it even being used hmm...
Phew, was this a rant? I do believe it was, yuck. :monocle:
Amnerican wrestling might be gay, but what about Mexican wrestling.
That's gay and has diarrhea.
I love how people say its fake, yes, it is fake, more than half of everything said is scripted, and yet they really fall face first, back first, front side first, or anything, from the top rope. Its not like they magically catch themselves in the air, yes, they may land a special way to make the fall less painful, but the bottom line is they still feel some pain when they hit the ground, and its not like they land perfectly every single time.
Wrestling is gay? Thats just immature.
Football is gay.
There, hows that? Stupid? Agreed.
Football is gay too.
:p you're the bestQuote:

Gay with masks! It hides the shame.Quote:

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.Quote:

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
I pity you.Quote:

Its called wrestling. Just because two humans are touching non-sexually doesn't make it gay. I swear the minds of humans nowadays are all about non-sense.Quote:

You know I was watching WWE Raw the other week and I saw Edge get in Randy Orton's face they were in kissing distance of each other and they looked like a gay couple.
So I guess you guys are right pro wrestling is a little gay but at least these wrestlers don't make out with each other on tv because then pro wrestling would be completely gay.

And those out there who said they've never watched it before are kidding themselves.
I'd like to see the ratings that support your "everyone in the world has watched wrestling" theory.
Hold on let me get them. :D
No I know everyone hasn't...but come on? What kid in the 80's didn't think Hulk-a-mania was cool? (Unless you were born in the 90's.)
If it is yeah kurt angle is mine i like his bulge hehe what im just talkking about his muscles
i like wwe wrestling so i wont say its gay though i cant say i dont think about that when i look at kurt angle 0.0 x.x i think wrestling is funny so i watch it =D?
The wrestlers could be gay, but I wouldnt call them that in their face.
I know several people that never watched wrestling, but a number of them also didn't watch much TV in the first place.Quote:

There is a small chance that pro wrestling is gay cuz seriously they wear nothing and if they evr got a stiffy it would be pretty obvious
Back in the mid-to-late 90's when wrestling was popular my younger brother had a friend named Brandon who was a wrestling fan...Anyway Brandon told me if a wrestler had to go to pee during a match he'd pee in his pants.
I don't know if that's true or not but it sounds plausible, considering that the referee, probaby wouldn't stop a match on live tv just so one of the wrestlers could take a piss break.
If they knew it was going to be a long match they would go before hand obviously.Quote:

So have we decided whether or not wrestling is gay or not? Do we go with the majority?
Wrasslin' is gay folks.
Gay as in stupid. It's also fake.
I dont think its that bad. The only time i watch it is when my friends are playing for our school. But i dont really se the point of dudes running into eachother headfirst. I probably wouldnt even watch them if I wasnt a cheerleader (man, im a bad friend:( )Quote:
