Due to this thread I looked the promo up to see what the fuss was about, and I don't really see the big deal. He joked around that Owens and Jericho rubbed each other's backs in a shower alone (paraphrasing). Somebody implying that two male friends were showering together when they really weren't is suddenly an anti-gay sentiment? Even RTC era Stevie Richards would be telling some of you to calm down. It doesn't bother me but, no, he means that their relationship is sexual and that it's something to make fun of. He doesn't for one second mean that rubbing each other in the shower is normal, heterosexual behavior and he's framing it as being something to ridicule. Now, do I think, personally, that it's a big deal? No, but he's definitely playing a gay joke card.

This thread is like a fascinating experiment to see who reads only the opening post and literally nothing else before leaping to conclusions and posting. I'm baffled.

The epitome of heterosexuality: Oh hey, MTV show-era Jon Stewart! That just reminded me that just last year at Summerslam the world title match ended with Jon Stewart turning heel on Cena, what the f*** was that all about!?!?

Well, the WWE is run by racists, woman haters, homophobes, etc, and have been for years, so it's possible that it was meant as a subtle gay joke (with how scripted the WWE is I am assuming someone wrote that line for him). I'm just saying based on the context of how it was said, it didn't come off overtly anti-gay as the OP was suggesting. John Cena's material prior to GLAAD stepping in was more along the lines of what the OP and others have implied here.

He came out the next night and said he did it because he didn't want to lose Ric Flair's record, from what I remember he tied it into a promo on traditions we lost like Undertaker's Streak.

Lotta strawmen arguments about offended pussy boogeymen in here. Just rechecked the thread to see if I missed something... I didn't. This thread has taken a weird turn.

Yup, led to Ric saying he was fine with Cena tying him, Stewart apologizing for not thinking it through, and Cena AA-ing Stewart.

Seriously though, why do the pussy boogeymen get offended so easily? Also, are they like wimps, or do the literally try to act as boogeymen for lady bits? If its' the latter, do they like jump out of tampax wrappers or something?

"Duh, you know how every girls' parents put a pussy boogeyman in them when the girls are young, to make them get offended on the internet? Well Myra's is named Pillow Pants. And so even though she totally wants to laugh at Enzo and Cass, Pillow Pants will post an angry message about it on the internet. So, I gotta wait until everyone stops being so sensitive before comedians can be allowed on college campuses again."

I don't know why, but when I read the thread title, I immediately thought of the cleaning lady in Arrested Development freaking out over Tobias bleeding from his hair plugs, "Mister gay! Mister gay is bleeding!"

So there are people that are not offended, people that are offended, people that are offended by the people that think others are offended, and people that are offended by those that are saying they're not offended.

All that but still no gays for us to laugh at like the OP suggested. This thread comes through and disappoints at the same time.
