Guest Anglesault Report post Posted February 11, 2004 For lord knows how long, "gay" has always been EVIL~! in the WWF/E/whatever all "obviously gay" characters were evil heels who were forcing their gayness on everyone else. No face was ever even supposed to seem gay. Sure, if you really read into it, HBK kind of was and Jeff Hardy almost certainly was (A LOT of Rico's routine is way to similar to Jeff's before he left) but on TV, that wasn't really acknowledged. Rico, on the other hand, is humping heels. Has the WWE ever presented a gay face before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted February 11, 2004 HBK is bi, or at least he was...I dunno if his new faith has made him steer clear of the forbidden penis. Has the Jeff Hardy being gay thing ever been proven or is it just another wild rumor that people believe due to his appearance? To answer the question though the only incident I can think of where "gay" wrestlers were given the face role was the aformentioned Billy&Chuck vs 3 Minute Warning(worst name for a tag team EVER) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted February 11, 2004 Remember, Hardy didn't always prance about. He suffered that knee injury in TLC 2 and from there on just always seemed to favor his right leg. I think his prancing was more trying to distribute his weight more onto his left leg. I bet he would be fine now and would be back to his debut form. Plus he often didn't prance in circles after slapping somebody ass...his "prancing" was usually him running to do some crazy high spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 Don't get me wrong. I don't mind Rico's face run, its just kinda awkward since it happened completely out of nowhere. I mean he has a very short feud with Jon Heidenreich and then the next time you see him on RAW, he's against Mark Henry and it took off from there. Not that I'm complaning or anything, but I think he does better off as a heel (for any of you you've seen his work in OVW as "The Role Model"). By the way, I hate his new theme music, its almost as bad as the theme they gave him when he first became Rico Street. His previous theme was almost perfect. /rant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 What about the Ultimate Warrior? -He wore tassels. -Shook the ring ropes. -Uses weird words that no one straight understand -Splashes and lays on top of his opponent after body pressing him.

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 I don't remember hearing about Shawn Michaels being gay, although I do remember something about a gay porn star with his name. What's the story on this? I'm not 100% sure (I'm not the biggest connoisseur of gay porn) but I do think that there's a black gay porno star named Sean Michaels ... the spelling might be off, but I do know that it's spelled differently than the pro-wrestling Shawn Michaels. Due to the name, people have mistakenly thought that the wrestler has appeared in gay porn. Personally, I always thought that Shawn Michaels the wrestler was kind of "gay" ... I don't know why, really, but between the leather and his hairy chest and just the way he posed and strutted, he just seemed like he preferred the company of men. Not a knock against him or anything like that, but his attempts at seeming tough or macho always seemed two parts Freddie Mercury & one part Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
