When I was a kid I really liked those guys and would always cheer them on during their matches, I was too young for it to occur to me that they were supposed to be a homosexual tag team. It's like Chuck said, it just seemed like two really close bros. The wedding segment was really interesting for me because I around that time I learned what being gay meant and seeing that kinda didn't bother me like some other people would've been. In my opinion they were the most fun tag team and I actually liked their theme song.

@kieranwillis395 2 года назад

I hope they know how brave or bold they were for doing that gimmick in 2002 as male wrestlers in America. It was a different time back then.. It was actually very forward for its time, so Chuck and billy being comfortable doing this and taking a risk of getting real hatred is nothing to scoff at.

@anthonydeadman 2 года назад

To be fair in Billy's case, he had been doing controversial stuff long before this tag team gimmick, Mr.Ass was a gimmick that revolved around him literally showing off his ass even. So this gimmick was nothing for him. Chuck honestly had a whole lot more to lose if this tag team didn't work out in the long run. So the dice were definitely rolled in his favor at the time.

They actually did turn face after they didn’t go through with the “ceremony”. For a short time, they continued as a team, but without all the homosexual undertones as babyfaces. Then Billy got injured, so Chuck was on his own for a bit before doing the Full Blooded Italians stable. When Billy returned, he brought back the Mr. Ass gimmick.

@anthonydeadman 2 года назад

Honestly, I think the only real issue I ever had with the team when their gimmick changed a bit under Rico's management, was the theme music. Like "You Look So Good To Me" was a good song on it's own. But when they first came out to "I've got it all!", I always thought that was just so much more fitting for them. The former theme, was more suited for Rico really.

I always wonder if wrestlers worry about the negative impact of perpetuating harmful stereotypes as a heel gimmick. I'm sure a lot of the people involved in the Billy and Chuck gimmick want to act like it was positive representation for the queer community, but the truth is that it was always just a way to get some cheap heat from the largely homophobic audience of the time.

@ProtomanButCallMeBlues 2 года назад

In the long run, the fact that they were faces kind of saved the gimmick from going down some of the trashy one's back in the day. Goldust could've ended the same way
