Also I think you’re adding your own spin to make it funny. You know about Goldust and Darren Young and wrestling’s history of preying on gay stereotypes. I highly doubt he was going any deeper than “lol sweaty men grappling. GAYYYYY.” He was mad at WWE for being pro Saudi Arabia and needed to burn them and that was his way of doing it. By insulting it for being homoerotic. Lol
Low-hanging fruit isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Just... put a new twist on it.

Not really. I can use specific examples because I'm a wrestling fan, but it is a form of entertainment so laden in machismo it is naturally funny to consider how homoerotic it is. That's not to say you can't display lots of machismo and be flagrantly homosexual, but our initial bias/preconception is to see the funny contrast. Like... from what I've garnered, most outsiders think "look at these big sweaty 'tough men' pretending to beat one another up, but really they just want to touch one another."
It's the same with most sports tbh.
