This immediately garnered the attention of the New York Times, Washington Post, New York Post, TV Guide, the Howard Stern Show, and even NBC’s “Today” show, because of the potential social ramifications that a macho company such as the WWE could be portraying its characters as being openly homosexual.
Last week, in the middle of the ring, Chuck got down on one knee and proposed to Billy to become committed partners for life. Even their ring manager, Rico, was touted as their personal stylist, but he is more like an eccentric version of an interior designer. They performed such antics such as doing stretches in the locker room where they may be entered from the rear, hugging each other in a sexual manner and so on. The characters they had been portraying had hinted at homosexual tendencies and as being more than tag team partners in the ring. Who are Billy and Chuck? These two handsome, muscular bleach-blond studs became a tag team some months ago in the WWE and have been doing quite well.
But again, the WWE let us down with its portrayal of gay men. 12 program on UPN, “Smackdown.” Billy and Chuck, former tag team champions, were scheduled to be joined in a commitment ceremony, or so the storyline goes. The mainstream media jumped on the story that World Wrestling Entertainment would be holding a same sex union on its Sept.
