Review: Garrett Thomas vs. Mike Splitz (Wrestler4Hire)

Full disclosure: Access to this match was provided to me by Wrestler4Hire

Garrett Thomas: "I'll bend you like a damn pretzel."
Mike Splitz: "I'll enjoy it!"

I'm not sure Mike enjoys this as much as he claims

You're going to see an uptick in reviews about Wrestler4Hire. They offered me a free membership for 30 days. I thought about it for about a week, but ultimately decided to take them up on their offer. It took me a minute because I'm not a big fan of subscription services, so it feels weird to accept one. They're not even the first people to make this kind of offer, but it's the first membership offer I've accepted.

Why the exception? Well, I've reviewed multiple matches from Wrestler4Hire in the past and I don't think I've been disappointed yet. The talent is great and I like that Cameron tries different things. And the value is very good. I have access to 19 matches for what would cost between $25-$40 for the month, depending on the tier you choose. Even if you only really like 2-3 matches, you're way ahead.

So, I'd like to see the site succeed and I do like the product. Of the 19 matches, blog favorites like Ty Alexander, Ethan Andrews, Chet Chastain, Austin Cooper, Guido Genatto and Maverick all appear in two matches. There are videos featuring other well-known studs, like Lon Dumont, Marc Merino, Zach Reno and Dick Rick, too.

Interestingly, in spite of all this, the first match I'm reviewing is Garrett Thomas vs. Mike Splitz. I don't know why this match between two unknowns jumped out at me, but it did. And I ended up liking it a ton. It's a fun pro-style match with lots of contrasts between the guys and well-executed action.

Even though I didn't know them, I really liked the guys. Thomas is hot. Some, muscular body that's smooth and yet still imposing. Long flowing pro wrestler hair. Masculine sexiness with rugged features and a beard. And he's clad in tiny orange trunks that dip in front and show off his ass in back. He's not a heel, but comes across as a tough guy.

Opposite him, Mike Splitz is much smaller, in shape and super-flexible. We open on him showing why he's named Splitz as he spreads his legs out wide like a dancer. Being the age I am, I can't look at Mike Splitz without thinking about the Greatest American Hero or Nigel in Top Secret. He has the 80's blond curly mop that's just right for pulling. It only happens a couple of times, but it was good to see.

The premise is that Thomas wants some yoga lessons, but Splitz just mocks him for even trying. Of course, they end up in a match. Thomas dominates more often, but this is not a 100% squash. The cocky smaller stud gets some very hot control moments on the big guy. There are some really creative holds as they're put on display for us.

I like the focus on Thomas' body in this match. From the opening discussion of his chest to the banter about his thick thighs, I share the interest and admiration of the big hunk. During the match, Thomas fulfills his promise and bends Splitz in half. However, the smaller wrestler doesn't seem to enjoy it, despite his initial boasting. At least his moaning says he isn't exactly having fun.

Love the creative holds

Mike: "Submit! Submit to me! I've done it!"

Mike is bendy, but is he enjoying the ride?

This match ends up making a good case for streaming. It's not a match I would've ever noticed, but as one of the 19 selected, I ended up discovering new guys and a hot match. Thomas earned more of my interest here, but Splitz did a nice job selling, too.

So that's my take. Any thoughts? Comments make the blogs go 'round!
