It's all about the delivery and the spin and is largely why Jon Oliver is funny.

Largely due to the "tough guy/ hetero" narrative it tries to portray contrasted with how absolutely over the top and "camp" it is. I mean there's only ever been Darren Young who was gay and a babyface and there was never a storyline about his bravery for coming out. Whereas every other gay character has been a predatory heel who fans booed due to their perceived "gayness".

Then on top of that, wrestling fans (not saying you) lose their shit when you call it gay.

I don't see what's so hard to understand about that. I wonder if LPGA fans get annoyed when people discuss its association with lesbians.

My point, is similar to literally everyone I played rugby with, we embrace the latent homoeroticism. It's one of the many things that make wrestling particularly quirky. Never mind the amount jobber squash fetish channels on Youtube.
