It's Lazlo Kohl vs. Masked Menace |
Lazlo Kohl is a guy I was immediately drawn to. With his blond close-cropped hair, mustache and smooth body, he is a very specific look that you likely either get or you don't. When you put him in bright yellow pro trunks and a pro ring, it takes him to a new level. For me, the look is right out of a small-time indie federation based in somewhere like South Carolina or Georgia.
There's no real story here, but odds are your brain will create one. Are they rivals? Is this a veteran breaking in a newbie? Is it training? Anything could be true, but it feels likes there's a relationship here based on the chemistry between the two and they're near-immediate acceptance of their roles.
With all due respect to the writer of the catalog description, it's funny to read it after seeing the match. Here's what they say ...
... the mustached rookie has a boatload of back alley brawling on his resume, but precious little legitimate wrestling experience. He prefers his sexual exploits mixed with equal parts open-faced aggression and winner-takes-all carnal delight. When he likes what he sees, he takes it, and there are few men with the strength or skill (or will) to deny him.
It talks about Kohl like he's this rough and tumble badass, but you never see that side of him. In fact, I have a very different take on the "mustached rookie". Kohl is pretty much two donuts shy of being a perfect soft-bellied jobber. He willingly embraces his own destruction as he gives himself to the masked man right from the start.
Kohl gets opened wide |
They start with a silent face off. Kohl flexes, allowing Menace to inspect him from biceps to manhood. When the roles are reversed, the masked heel sets the tone, slapping the jobber silly when he dares to reach for the heel's prominent bulge.
Menace sends a clear message |
Menace is a savvy shopper, checking out the goods before he buys |
Menace likes what he feels |
Yep, the masked man owns this jobber |
See, the jobber fights back. He gets control then a submission. What? Shocking, right? Yes, but Kohl shows his true jobber colors. See, he makes his desires clear to us and to the heel. He never wanted to win. He just wanted to prove himself to the mature masked man.
Can we just admire this reversal for a moment? |
Kohl gives Masked Menace a better view |
Yes, jobber, you are worthy |
No. Okay, maybe. Regardless, the next thing that happens is that the jobber forces the masked man into the corner. When the blond stud flexes, it's clear that he's silently asking Masked Menace for approval. He's asking, "Am I worthy?" The older heel reaches up and caresses the biceps, acknowledging that Kohl is a man worth owning.
With respect earned, the jobber literally hands himself back over to Masked Menace. He allows their positions to be reversed. He is eagerly whipped across the ring and owned once again, knowing the reward of losing will be worth it. When he is finally led out of the ring by his yellow-spandex-wrapped cock, the jobber is getting what he wants. The viewer is led to feel envy, not sympathy, for the loser.
Back to business |
The jobber embraces his role |
Not exactly an unwilling loser |
In the end, I enjoyed this match a heckuva lot. It's sexy and erotic in a surprising and engaging way that you don't see very often. I love Kohl's "only at BGEast" look and his attitude. I just love jobbers who aren't victims, but I especially love jobbers who happily own their role. There are a few out there and Kohl does it very well here.
What are other bloggers saying?
So that's my take (and Bard's, if you click the link). What's yours?

Actually I believe you captured the psychology of the match perfectly -- "asking the Masked Menace for approval," "handing himself back over," and our feelings of "envy, not sympathy." Thanks for this brilliant, intelligent review, and thanks for the shout out.
