Review: Biff Farrell vs. Van Skyler (BGEast)

I'm going to assume that this isn't the only blog you follow that covers wrestling videos. BGEast's Biff Farrell has been all the buzz since he debuted. An immediate fan favorite, he finished second in Bard's recent Homoerotic Wrestler of the Year Reader's Choice vote. In the comments on my The 2015 Cavey Awards: Wrestlers post, commenter AH mentioned him as an option for Favorite Rookie, but I hadn't seen any of his matches.

Until now. I've finally watched my first Biff match - Biff Farrell vs. Van Skyler.

Well, you can add me to the list of Biff fans. He lived up to the hype. A sexy fireplug, Biff is handsome, his chest and shoulders are wide, his waist is narrow and his legs thick and powerful. I feel like he knows his way around the mat, based on the smooth action. He suffers well and is verbal without being over-the-top or distracting.

And Van Skyler ... I'm a fan of him, too. Wow, I thought I was buying it for Biff, but Van surprised me. The guy is great. I love how cocky he is. And he loves to flex, especially in awesome pouch-to-face pins when he has Biff down. The big blond bulldog takes it, letting the dark-haired stud have his moment.

The gear is great. I'm a big believer in gear that suits the setting. In the ring, I like guys in full pro gear. On the mat, a nice pair of tiny briefs is perfect. In this case, they're outside, on the mats, so tiny works. And these guys are perfectly attired in similar tiny briefs. They're the kind with the loose pouches in front, so when they move, they jiggle. You know the ones. Yeah, they really worked for me.

There's a lot of action, but I realized that the holds in the match are few. However, they're really, really hot. There are multiple bearhugs, scissors and schoolboy pins. There's even more than one dragon sleeper, which is a personal favorite of mine. There is a ton of grappling and flexing, with Van showing off every chance he gets.

So overall, I loved this match. I'm already looking forward to seeing more action from both these studs. Biff and Van have the potential to be huge stars.

What are other bloggers saying? This is something I started with Eagle/Frey, but has become a regular section in my reviews. Often, other bloggers beat me to the punch. I used to just not post about the matches at all. I figured, "old news". However, lately I wondered if maybe it's more like, "you can never have enough of a good thing".

So you know what I think and you know what other guys think. What do YOU think? I love me some comments!

From a blog perspective, should I post on matches covered elsewhere or am I too late? And what do you think about me highlighting other bloggers' posts on the same topic? Is it useful and interesting or not worth my time?
