This one may not produce it on the fresh gay-inclusive New York Times Weddings/Celebrations pages (two more did make it last weekend) : The Modern York Post reports that on the Thursday late hours “Smackdown” this week, Society Wrestling will feature the first-ever televised gay wedding between two male wrestlers. Tag-team partners, Billy and Chuck, will tie the knot. “It’s a lgbtq+ wedding or…as the queer and lesbian community would call it…a commitment ceremony on our season premier edition of Smackdown,” said Stephanie McMahon, of Society Wrestling Entertainmen’.
“Billy and Chuck have been other from a slew of other pro-wrestlers of the past, ranging from ‘Gorgeous’ George Wagner in the 1940s and ‘Adorable’ Adrian Adonis in the 1970s who played with gender roles by donning wigs and dresses…and usually missing to more popular wrestlers. Billy and Chuck, on the other hand, were world champions for at least five months this past year and dress in more simple warm pants and white robes.

Mike on the Mat: Billy and Chuck’s Gay Wedding
Guess what? Billy and Chuck are not gay! It was all a publicity stunt! There was no passionate smooch, no consumption of wedding cake, and no real wedding on Saturday night.
It was all a plan by Rico and Eric Bischoff to invade Unprocessed and beat on Stephanie McMahon. Rico lured her out by saying that the wedding needed a witness to be legal. Apparently the ten thousand or so fans in attendance watching the wedding weren’t enough witnesses.
It turns out that the Justice of the Peace officiating the wedding was actually Eric Bischoff done up expertly in make-up to resemble an elderly male, and he played the part perfectly.
When Bischoff (incognito) said the groom and groom could peck, Billy and Chuck decided things had gone too far. Bischoff then declared that a union was a union, weather it was twenty years, sixteen hours, or three minutes, ripped off his make-up, and Jamal and Rosie ran into the ring and destroyed Chuck and Billy. A bit later, they beat on Stephanie (hooray!). Presumably, Rico was in on this, as he helped in the beating.

Billy & Chuck’s Wedding
Have you heard of the Be A Star campaign? If so, you already comprehend that WWE and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) acquire been teaming up for a few years now to combat bullying. (If you haven’t heard of Be A Star, I can only assume that you’ve never watched WWE. Perhaps you are a fan of the obscure aquatic sport of carp-wrestling and simply typed the wrong URL into your browser. This is Wrestlecrap.com)
This campaign might seem hypocritical for WWE, given that it consistently presents bullying going unpunished week after week by Ryback and even Be A Actor spokesperson Stephanie McMahon. However, baffling and insincere cooperation between WWE and GLAAD is nothing new, having started with an ill-fated relationship in 2002.
That was the year that WWE’s own Billy & Chuck, an ambiguously gay tag team in the vein of Too Much and The West Hollywood Blondes, ditched the “ambiguously” part, with Chuck dropping down to one knee and proposing to Billy. This, of course, forever destroyed the appeal of the “Are they or aren’t they?” gimmick, since once someone officially comes out of t
