No, it's...

 

Incredible.

 

Thanks, I'll be here all week.

but it's not Justin Credible. 

It most assuredly is not.  And for that we should all be grateful.

Superstar photos are like a 70's time capsule. . . 

Why I love wrestling reason #8696: Only pro wrestling could have a homosexual Jew portray an evil Arab named "The Grand Wizard."

The Grand Wizard was gay? I didn't know that.

Yup

 

 

Roth was revealed to be homosexual after his death, although some claim they were aware of his sexual orientation during his lifetime.

So, wait, a gay man willingly wore those hideous jackets?

It was his commentary on straight, and very square, Arab culture.

Victor the Bear v King Curtis would be quite the battle

Pop for "LAST MAN OR BEAR IS WINNER."

 

I dont know if this has been posted before, but I just stumbled across this while looking for an Angry Amish Roadkill gif where he was doing the hand wringing and saying "chickens"  (I mean, do you really want to know why)

The chesed is still my favorite part of that photo.

I am intrigued by the Hebrew lettering in James L's tattoo, as well as the wizard depicted on his rib cage.

That's the chesed. "God's love for humankind."

Hard Boiled Haggerty, you're sleeping on the awesomeness of that, guys!

I really want to hear a Victor the Great shoot interview.  That guy has to have a ton of good stories.

Man, wrestling was just more manly back then.

So most of them were gay?

Manly is manly.

"Manly beyond all wildest expectations" or something similar used to be a filter for gay around here.

 

I think pro wrestling has such an interesting history with the LGTBQ+ community. It's clearly homoerotic, but effeminate characters have been portrayed as villainous since its inception. At the same time, flamboyance is often a major trait in popular babyfaces, and some of those effeminate heels do get lengthy face runs. I also feel like wrestling has been welcoming to gay performers as well (which is not to discount stories of discrimination), if only because it's been a bastion of some of society's left behind folks. There's a pretty long list of gay wrestlers who have reached huge heights in the industry, and I'm really curious how the greater LGTBQ+ community views their accomplishments in what is typically considered low culture.

That dissertation is just sitting there waiting to be written.
