History shows us that the sport has always been a favorite of gay men – even as far back as 7000BC. WWE, college wrestling, Turkish Oil wrestling, mud wrestling, Kushti and even homiesexual wrestling all derive from the ancient naked wrestling from ancient Greece that was mostly played by gay wrestlers in the nude.
