** Their manager [[Wrestling/RicoConstantino Rico]], who took their gimmick AND their theme song to whole new levels. The ''You Look So Good To Me'' theme has been used time and again in the WWE to mark a character as non-heteronormative. See Marella, Santina.

* During a [[Wrestling/{{DGenerationX}} [=DeGeneration=] X]] run, Wrestling/TripleH and Wrestling/ShawnMichaels seemed to pass off as convincing HeterosexualLifePartners at the very least. They only even somewhat pass because most viewers don't remember the original [=DeGeneration X=], where there was very little heterosexuality to be had, between Shawn kissing Hunter on national television numerous times and Hunter's infamous "bi" quote:

* [[Wrestling/LayCool Layla El and Michelle]] are very close, and it was Layla who suggested they go to couple's therapy. And then there's Layla's blatant dry humping Wrestling/KellyKelly and [[Wrestling/NatalyaNeidheart Natalya]] on TV.

* Wrestling/TheFabulousOnes. They were a MrFanservice team marketed to adult women as ''Playgirl''-style sex symbols (as opposed to the Rock N Roll Express, who were a ''Tiger Beat'' team aimed toward teen girls), but some of their posed photos do seem to have a bit of HoYay in them.

* Too Much had "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor as tag team partners who were ''very'' concerned about each other's safety. Billy & Chuck's "wedding" angle was originally planned for Too Much, but was vetoed by Wrestling/JerryLawler (Brian Christopher's father) who was afraid his son's career would never recover. However, they found more success when the then-WWF repackaged them as the PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy team Too Cool, Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty and put them with Rikishi, and it got over much more than Too Much had.

* While The Brooklyn Brawler's onscreen persona has always been a tough guy, an UrbanLegend amongst longtime wrestling fans is that Steve Lombardi is gay, rumored to be in a relationship with [[TransparentCloset Pat Patterson]].

* The Wrestling/{{WWE}} tag team Billy & Chuck were ambiguously ManlyGay, from being spotted backstage oiling each other up and doing bizarre stretches, to their shiny red trunks and matching personalized headbands, to their boy-band entrance theme. This became less ambiguous when they planned a gay wedding, on television -- and then became outright subverted when they stopped said gay wedding to declare that the whole thing was a publicity stunt, and they weren't really gay, just HeterosexualLifePartners.

* Wrestling/{{Goldust}} from the WWE, even though his homosexual overtones are primarily mind games he plays with his opponents. One notable example is his feud with [[Wrestling/ScottHall Razor Ramon]], where in one match he rubbed Ramon's chest and freaked him out.
