Mansoor: Vince McMahon Told Us Maximum Male Models ‘Is Not A Gay Thing, You’re Metrosexual’

Mansoor talks about the Maximum Male Models working at Effy’s Big Gay Brunch. 

Maximum Male Models (Mace and Mansoor) are coming to Effy’s Big Gay Brunch on January 27 to take on Allie Katch & Effy. While past Big Gay Brunch events have featured non-LGBTQ talent, it’s a rare occasion. Effy previously explained that Mace & Mansoor are entertaining and are coming in to do work. 

Speaking to Jeremy Lambert & Joel Pearl on In The Weeds, Mansoor commented on their appearance at Big Gay Brunch. 

“It was actually something we were a little concerned about. The last thing we wanted to do was appropriate culture that we weren’t a part of and represent anybody in a negative light. The thing that is funny is, the only fans we had basically, whenever we would go to house shows, were members of the LGBTQ community. We would run out in Montana, and 99% of the fans would be booing and booing, and then we’d look over at a section in the front row and it’s people going ‘Yasss! Yasss!’ [Snaps]. We did it for them. What Effy was trying to communicate was, when we come out as the Male Models at that show, the place is going to go fucking crazy. We did it for the girlies and the gays. That’s who we did it for. When Vince McMahon told us that we were doing this male model thing, he was very serious, ‘Listen, it’s not a gay thing. Okay. Not a gay thing. You’re metrosexual.’ ‘Yeah, okay.’ At the same time, we want to be entertaining, so, sorry Vince. We were rubbing body oil on our YouTube show in our speedos. It’s very funny because it’s this throwback. I also say, the very first heel gimmick is Gorgeous George, that’s just what we’re doing. For people who are all up in arms about it, ‘What’s this gimmick doing on the show?’ That gimmick is as old as wrestling itself. What are you getting hot about? I’m very excited for the show, especially working Effy and Allie, BUSSY! You just know it’s going to be a fucking hysterical match,” he said.  

Maximum Male Models were paired together in the summer of 2022 and gained popularity through their vignettes and social exclusives. They were released in September 2023.
