I had mentioned Pat Patterson earlier...

 

 

Those sweaters + Pat Patterson + Kevin Nash's fanny pack + Big picture of Elton John = The Voltron of Gay

Soeaking of wrestlers opening business...

 

Who is that?

[Smigg 1488]

Who is that?

 

This guy

This guy

 

Hey, that guy's my dentist!

 

Seriously though, I really, really want to read Kane's book if he ever writes one. I think he and Taker probably have the best stories to tell.

[RyanSz 3140]

Undertaker will have to do the Chris Jericho/Mick Foley route where he just writes autobiography after autobiography because there isn't binding strong enough in the world to hold that many pages together in one book. As far as Kane starting an insurance company, that's not too far off from what many wrestlers do after they retire, as most tend to go into real estate if they aren't desperately trying to hang on to whatever relevance they have in the wrestling world.

 

That or porn as Chyna and now apparently Buff Bagwell have shown. Chyna actually chose to continue doing porn instead of remaining in TNA when they made her choose because she was getting paid better getting gangbanged by actors dressed like Cena and Hogan (REAL MOVIE). Buff is now actually on Gigolos on Showtime which must be creepy as hell for him since most of his real clients, not the ones that are on the show that are just actual porn stars, as they basically grew up watching him on wrestling for the most part. At least the show is not too far off from his previous acting work where he starred in other softcore porn movies made by Andy Sidaris in the mid 90s.

The only way it would have been more gay is if it had either the West Hollywood Blondes.

 

Or the Johnsons from the first TNA match ever.

I'm not super into wrestling (except for mid-to-late 80s, early Wrestlemania era) so I haven't listened to it, but Nerdist does have the Wrestling Compadres Slamcast.

 

softcore porn movies made by Andy Sidaris in the mid 90s.

Andy Sidaris movies are a guilty pleasure of mine. He was the 1990s answer to Russ Meyers (although Meyers could actually work a camera and write entertaining dialogue). It's kind of fun when a filmmaker understands what kind of movie they're making without any pretense -- "This needs guns. More guns. And explosions. Boobs. Some more boobs. And that's all."

[RyanSz 3140]

Cool didn't know they had that.

[dlo burns 129]

 

I have no words for this. He actually wrestled in this for a brief period.

 

So was this in America? He looks like an Ultraman/Power Rangers villain.

 

Or the Johnsons from the first TNA match ever.

 

This looks like some kind of Japanese fetish porn

 

*ziiip*

Yeah, they did it as a thing to give Hogan the edge over the previously undefeated, Bad News Brown.

 

So, he basically cheated, when he was a babyface.

God I can remember how pissed GLAAD was when that angle ended. They actually believed they were gay because "IT'S STILL REAL TO THEM DAMMIT!"

[Smigg 1488]

That's almost as good as Perez Hilton thinking that Donald Trump actually bought Monday Night Raw, and reporting it as a real story,

[RyanSz 3140]

Well I'm sure he's gonna be jumping all over the rumors of AMC wanting to buy WWE.

[PlanBFromOuterSpace 3138]

The be all, end all in gay wrestling stuff is THIS. Ladies and gentlemen, the Fabulous Ones promos...

 

 

The non-wrestling bits play out like some sort of video wedding album...

[Smigg 1488]

Well, let's not rule out The American Males

[Smigg 1488]

This thread has gone from an old guy in spandex spewing bullshit, to something just a little less gay.

[PlanBFromOuterSpace 3138]

When it comes crashin' down and it hurts inside...

God I can remember how pissed GLAAD was when that angle ended. They actually believed they were gay because "IT'S STILL REAL TO THEM DAMMIT!"

From the WIkipedia page (yes, the Billy and Chuck angle has it's own Wiki page):

 

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which had consulted with WWE on the storyline and helped the angle secure mainstream media coverage, denounced WWE for securing GLAAD's assistance under false pretenses. "The WWE lied to us two months ago when they promised that Billy and Chuck would come out and wed on the air."

 

The funniest part about this was that there was no backlash from GLAAD until the episode AIRED, which was later in the week. Aside from the occasional live episode, overseas tour, or holiday week, Smackdown is taped on Tuesday, and used to air on Thursdays (now Fridays), and I believe this episode was no different. Spoilers would have popped up the night it happened, revealing it all to be *gasp* a publicity stunt (within a publicity stunt) all along, but for the next two days, these guys were still doing morning shows promoting the wedding segment, meaning that GLAAD found out right along with anyone else that hadn't looked up the show's results in the last two days. I seem to specifically remember Billy and Chuck being given a gravy boat on The Today Show or Good Morning America or something (WHY do I remember this? God, why...).

[RyanSz 3140]

I remember that same thing because if the WWE ever got any positive publicity they would replay it over and over again for their benefit to the product. This was opposite of WCW that would kill any kind of mention in the mainstream media solely for the reason of it not being their idea originally, which hurt them very much in the long run.

 

What's odd now is that in recent years there have been more wrestlers coming out either as gay or bi, the most prominent and recent being Darren Young, and to see how that knowledge and publicity is used for a semi-push to show that the promotion loves the guy. Young and his tag partner went on a nice little win streak after he came out, but nothing ever really came of it and the team has since broken up. Yet there are many times, as we've shown here, where that lifestyle is shown to such characture proportions to where it hurts the cause i.e. Orlando Jordan and whatever the fuck he was going for when he joined TNA.

Hogan has also said he has turned down the lead role in "The Highlander"

 

I know everyone's talking about wrestling stuff...but Hogan as The Highlander?...hooooly shit!! Mind blowing! haha

[RyanSz 3140]

I could see him as like one of the guys Lambert fought in a flashback or even the Clancy Brown character, but not the lead. Also, I just listened to an old episode of Sklarbro Country with guest Scott Aukerman and he revealed that Kulap worked at the main Pastamania. She even apparently met the Hulkster once since he was technically her boss.

Yeah, it was during the "I turned down the lead role in The Wrestler" era, where Hogan decided to divulge all of his antics in Hollywood, for a guy who was "Blackballed for turning down the gay advances of a producer", he sure was offered some lead roles.
