This poster is an awesome, hilarious example of the veiled-but-not-really homoeroticism of dudebro sports worship, especially since so much of Rocky's shtick has historically been of the "LOLZ, UR A GAYWAD" variety. Dudes who spew a vitriolic "fag" at the first sign of a man not indulging in unga-bungaism will be the first to say "Hey, awesome, a poster of a practically naked man flexing his rippling, glistening torso and making a face akin to a moment of violent climax! I'm buyin' my tickets post-haste!!". And I'm a Rocky fan, don't get me wrong, but this poster is just hilarious. Wrestling ain't new. Anybody who HASN'T seen a wrestling poster or anything wrestling related in their life (fan or not) has been living under a rock. Plus, professional boxing and UFC (you know, sports that are "popular" with today's fans) always feature half naked men with gloves on their poster. So it goes both ways. Hell, this extends beyond combat sports and wrestling altogether. Particularly hip-hop; you got 50 Cent on the cover of his CD topless and glistening, but that CD's being marketed much more for men than for women. Same with Ja Rule on the cover of The Source - topless, glistening, marketed towards other guys.

Though I agree with everything you've said I have to wonder why it's this poster that's made you think to say it. It's not like the homo-eroticism of pro wrestling has been hidden for the past twenty odd years.

I think The Rock on his show for even a night would get people to tune in.

Eh it's no National Car Rental Center. KFC Yum Center beats them all in the pantheon of terrible corporate arenas. I'll see your KFC Yum centre and raise you York City football clubs arena - KitKat crescent!
