Review: Ash DeLeon vs. Grant Connors (BGEast)

In BGEast's catalogue, I've mainly focused on Wrestling with Pride 2. The only other match that really stood out to me is Ash DeLeon vs. Grant Connors. I like both guys and I figured they'd be a good match.

Feisty Ash takes on big Grant in this mat battle.

Ash DeLeon has been a busy boy lately, even appearing on two matches this catalogue. Here, he's the cocky smaller stud who's ready to take down a bigger muscleman. I like a confident, capable Ash. On social media, he has a penchant for body work and ab abuse. We see some of that come through here as he gets a chance to pound away on an even bigger body that he obviously covets.

Grant Connors does have an awesome body, so it's no wonder Ash worships it. I hesitate to describe Grant as naturally muscular, because I don't want to imply he doesn't work hard for his sculpted peaks, mountainous glutes or meaty pecs. He obviously does. When I use natural muscle, I mean he doesn't look steroid-infused massive or ripped. He's a super-hot strong guy and I, for one, love this look on wrestlers.

Yeah, these two are into each other.

Grant's body proves Ash is no lightweight.

Grant's power keeps him in the match.

Things start out nice enough. Grant is stretching. Ash is watching. The posturing starts as Grant questions Ash as his opponent. He expected someone bigger. The young stud assures him he's taken down bigger. The next couple of minutes are body worship, which both guys enjoy. It turns out, the bigger stud likes being felt up and praised. Why not?

Ash moves behind and cups that beautiful butt. He smiles, "Wow. Wow. Clearly you haven't been skipping leg day." Grant gets a little too comfortable as the object of affection. Ash is playing a rookie in his other match this catalogue (reviewed here), but here, he immediately surprises the big man with a ball grab, letting us know how this will go.

Ash likes what he sees.

Okay, boys, save that for later.
This is a wrestling video.

As if Ash needed more motivation. Woof.

Action-wise, it's pretty back-and-forth. The score is tied very late into the match. Ash might be slightly more dominant, but I haven't timed it. The bigger hunk's dominance comes from his power advantage, while Ash's mainly comes from seduction and focused body work. In fact, Grant is the first one stripped and to give. When the big man is in control, he mercilessly bends Ash. The smaller stud impresses as a brawler. The red on Grant's torso isn't from the sun.

The match ends with the clear winner kissing his own bicep because the loser is out cold at his feet, commenting, "Told you this is how this would end. You'd agree if you were awake."

The big man shows how he built those killer biceps.

Muscle only gets you so far.

Ash was right - Grant never skips leg day.

In the end, I really enjoyed this playful basement romp. It's got the right mix of wrestling and play. The contrasting styles between the muscular beefcake and the sly young buck works really well. The guys seem to have chemistry and they're having fun. Ash drives the match but Grant is all-in and his execution of the holds is excellent.

So that's my take. What's yours?
