KING: well aren't you, y'know. . .queer? GOLDUST: NO. (punches King) And that was how you did a babyface turn in 1997.

Wrestling is an industry of carny dirtbags doing carny dirtbag things for our voyeuristic amusement and the carnier and dirter it is the better. That's why it's so fun to follow Mexico cause they offer the wild west vibe that US wrestling has lost on the main stage.

sticklefifer posted:"You got Goldust running around here like a flaming fag!" I legit didn't watch wrestling again until 2007 over Billy and Chuck. I dunno why I was ok with Goldust freaking dudes out by touching himself as a heel move but "were are gay and that's enough to get heat" was enough to get me to not care about wrasslin for a while.

Goldust always reminded me of Marilyn Manson or someone similar who was just a freak on purpose to get under people's skin so he didn't really bother me at the time. Of course I didn't watch wrestling regularly til mid 99 so I didn't see the King poo poo and presumably other blatantly homophobic skits. Billy and chuck were just plain playing on people's disgust of gays in an arena setting and it was horribly uncomfortable

And that's why I tend to be rather wary around the kind of people who say things like "we should go back to the Attitude Era!!" I like my wrestling without homophobic, racist, transphobic caricatures and commentary, thank you very much

I like my wrestling without homophobic, racist, transphobic caricatures and commentary, thank you very much I think it was the APA who had to search for someone in a gay bar, and WWE's idea of a gay man at the bar was literally a normal bearded dude wearing a blonde wig and a dress over his regular clothes. It was probably the most embarrassing segment I've ever seen and I'm pretty sure they cut back to the bar later and showed everyone beaten up.

That's the one. I'd say that's even worse than Lawler calling someone a flaming human being in the 90s because trash TV was the zeitgeist then, where by 2002 gay panic was mostly considered an embarrassing relic and tied to nu metal white bros (which WWE was at the time). Canada legalized same-sex marriage only a year later.

Things that only make sense in wrestling: A manly man who would rather bang a bunch of pretty women than grope around a mat with another sweaty man is a total homo.

Wasn't the original plan with him, before drugs kinda halted everything, was to reveal that the Real Man's Man thing was that he was gay, hence that he's a Real Man for Men?
