When we first heard about a gay wrestling club in San Francisco we were fond, those San Franciscans. Of course you have a particular club where dudes wear spandex and roll around trying to dominate each other with their powerful thighs. Then it occurred to us, isn’t that all wrestling clubs? Why does it matter that this one’s gay? Turns out gay sports clubs are a popular feature of the athletic landscape.
We called up Roger Brigham, a coach at San Franciscos Golden Gate Wrestling Club to ask about the continued existence of gay sports clubs in an increasingly gay friendly nature.
VICE: Do we still need “gay sports clubs,” is it naive to assume that in a modern society all clubs should be gay friendly?
Roger Brigham: Yes it is ingenuous. There are still significant barriers to overcome. Weve had this discussion many times with unlike clubs, because alternative clubs market themselves differently. Some place the fact that they’re gay right up front, where others you hold to dig a little bit further. We need to put it out there, because we need to form While searching Amazon Prime recently, I was pleasantly surprised to discover, of all things, episodes of Memphis wrestling in the video library. But there was even more content available for any connoisseur of both amazing wrestling and bad wrestling: a collection of death matches between Cactus Jack and Terry Funk, some truly awful-looking wrestling movies I’d never heard of, and something called, Professional Gay Wrestling. My first doubt was, “Is this Trustworthy for Work?” But my second question was “Why homosexual professional wrestling?” (Or “professional gay wrestling”, as its called, which led me back to my first question). I mean, if homosexual men want to observe guys with great bodies and revealing outfits grapple with each other, there are a number of other wrestling promotions out there specifically, all of them. Let’s face it wrestling is a very gay sport, and has been since the days of the ancient Greeks. Those guys used to wrestle naked, which is just about the gayest thing two men can do short of having sex with each other. Which they also Stuart Forward Recent graduate living in Leeds.

Each Friday night, in the absence of a social life, 11 year old me would conclude down in front of the TV with my dad to watch WWF (now WWE) Raw is War. At the day it was the height of youthful masculinity. All the hard kids in school would watch it without fail, then appear in on Monday morning to clothesline-from-hell the recover of us and speak shop. In a second before social media, where dial-up internet was at the forefront of technology, our weekly dose of man on man behavior, followed by the sneaky free 10 minutes of Channel Babestation once the parents had gone to bed, granted boasting rights for the week, and helped to construct our LAD mentality. Its only when you go to these live shows, full to the brim with sweaty middle-aged men and their children, baying for blood and tits, that you feel truly part of the ma A few days ago, the longtime coach of the wrestling team, Luther Wrestler-man, went off the rails when two lacrosse players started calling wrestling gay. Coach Wrestler-man was found running through the halls of Stuyvesant, overturning benches and shouting, “WRESTLING IS NOT A GAY SPORT.” In order to become to the bottom of why the coach reacted so poorly, The Spectator decided to interview several wrestlers to get the inside scoop. Here are a few responses: Senior and co-captain Alwin Peng stated, “Honestly I can see where the lacrosse players are coming from. When I was a freshman, I retain seeing one of the captains pinning someone, and right after the ref called the pin, the captain jumped up, pointed to the other guy, and shouted, “HE GRABBED MY CROTCH.” The entire gym heard him and burst out laughing. So it might seem gay to the uninitiated.” Senior and co-captain Clarence Cheng said, “There’s really an unfair stigma toward wrestlers when it comes to that.
