I wouldn't say that, in fact (a) calling something gay as an insult is sooo 1990s and (b) many wrestlers might not like the insinuation and (c) I called it pseudo-homoerotic which is something differently entirely then derisively dismissing it as gay. Just because it is visibly homoerotic doesn't necessarily imply any kind of negative connotations, that is, unless folks internally harbor such pejorative imaginations of homosexuality in the first place
Two men sweatily grappling and heaving is the text book definition of appearing homoerotic, after all, if we watch a man and a woman do exact thing, a room full of sixth graders wouldn't be able to contain all the snickering and hooting.
