The Cast: Who's Who (December 2019)

Guys,

It's the end of year and my final casting post of 2019. No new men this month, only new drawings, but you know I still do a casting post even if I've identified all the guys many times before.

CLAW 8

Koke = Khuslen Khan (Model)

Review: Jonny Firestorm vs. Zach Reno (BGEast)

Zach Reno is certainly "having a moment" as people used to say a few years ago. He showed up a few years back as a lean and very hairy hunk, but in limited matches. Now, it feels like he's everywhere. In December alone, I've seen him at three different places. All with different looks and all in really good matches. He's not even jobbing, showing up in back-and-forth battles and even winning occasionally. I love it.

Jonny helps Zach keep his momentum going.

Bird Boy in "The Bird Cage"

“Hello, Bird Boy.”

I’m surprised to hear someone call me by my wrestling name. I’m Xaq, a champion bodybuilder and a champion wrestler. At just 20 years old, I’m already the biggest star in both worlds. Yeah, I play Bird Boy for The Cave, a gay wrestling video company, and I’m here because my boss Cody told me to come. He said it was important for my training and that I’d like it. Something about roleplay and going with it, but I wasn’t really listening. Cody talks too much sometimes.

Review: Scrappy vs. Taylor Reign (Muscleboy Wrestling)

Full disclosure: This video was provided to me by Muscleboy Wrestling.

Fresh off winning the 2019 Cavey for Favorite Wrestler, Scrappy is staking an early claim for 2020. He's hitting it out of the park at Wrestler4Hire against Nick Justice (covered by W.R. at his blog), the star of Thunders Arena's Christmas season, and then there's this stunner from MBW's latest catalogue, which is on a whole different level of hotness. If he keeps this up, Scrappy's a lock.

Taylor and Scrappy put on one helluva show.

Review: Cameron Matthews/Big Sexy vs. Austin Cooper/LaneHartley (W4H)

Major spoilers below ...

If Cirque du Soleil did a show about tag teams, this would be it. Their stuff is always about the journey of life. Well, this Wrestler4Hire video is the journey of a tag team. It runs the gamut of a tag team's life from conception to dissolution. Cameron needs a new partner, recruits Big Sexy, they train, face Cameron's archenemies and have the inevitable messy breakup. And all in 36 minutes!

Beautiful.

It's the total story of a tag team.

Welcome to the fifth annual Cavey Awards!

Heroes: Bane of My Existence 4

Bane of My Existence 1  |  Bane of My Existence 2  |  Bane of My Existence 3

Chapter 1. Crush. Henchman.

“Congratulations, boys. You have your first taste of being winners. Let there be no doubt that we own these three. And this is just the beginning.”

Review: Dax Carter vs. Spencer Hawkins (Muscleboy Wrestling)

Full disclosure: This match was provided to me by Muscleboy Wrestling.

Watching this was interesting. I’d just finished reading a (very) short story (more like an intro with the details left to the reader’s imagination) on Nifty. The story, called 'Alpha Top Seeks Taming', was incredibly descriptive as the “alpha top” narrator hunts for “a top breaker, a stallion rider, a predator who hunted equals” to manipulate him into conquering him without the “top breaker” knowing he’s actually being a willing submissive.

Huge vs. Skinny but not a squash?

Review: Alex Costa vs. Brad Honeycutt (Muscleboy Wrestling)

Full disclosure: This video was provided to me by Muscleboy Wrestling.

Alex: "Hm, looks like Alex Costa has found a good opponent this time, eh? I was a little bit fed up to wrestle these slim boys. Finally, someone who is very big."

Brad: "Name's Brad Honeycutt. I'm here to make a name for myself. And who are you? Costa? Nice to meet you."

I finished up my 2019 Cavey Awards yesterday, which involves re-visiting a ton of matches from the past 12 months. I made the tough calls, wrote up the posts, added the images and they're all set to debut on 12/18/19. With that job done, I was ready to look at something new. Luckily, MBW just shared some new matches from the newly released catalogue 17. Out of the four they sent, Alex Costa vs. Brad Honeycutt was the first one I wanted to check out.

Can the rookie handle the hairy hunk?

Review: Tristan Baldwin vs. Caleb Klein (Wrestler4Hire)

Before I get into this review, I have to admit something. I’m mainly posting this for the pics, so if you skip some of the words, that’s okay. I love Tristan Baldwin and I love seeing him dominated by a big, hunky pro wrestler. This Wrestler4Hire video is beautiful to look at because the all-time great underground wrestler is beautiful to look at as he’s manhandled from beginning to end.

It's all about sexy muscle getting squashed.

CLAW 8: Koke vs. Hollywood

Riot Pro Wrestling. Dublin OH.

“Oh yeah, you’re definitely one of Ben’s boys.”

“Ben’s boys? What does that mean?”

“You know what it means.”

I frown as the veteran pro wrestler and promoter smirks at me. Yeah, he’s right. I know exactly what it means, but I don’t really like it. I’m standing here in a school gymnasium where Riot Pro Wrestling is getting ready for this weekend’s show. I’m here to show what I can do to earn a spot on their roster and the boss starts off with something like that? Makes me wonder if he’s serious about giving me a shot or just looking to play around.

The boss goes by Hollywood. He’s hot as fuck for a guy in his late-30’s, decked out in his practice gear – plain black pro trunks, pads and boots. He’s a handsome white pro wrestler, clocking in around 5’10”/190-lbs of solid muscle. Hollywood is rocking a fake tan and perfect white teeth. He lives up to his name, so fuck him. He’s more of a prettyboy than me.

Hollywood.

The Cast: Who's Who (November 2019)

Guys,

A few different studs and a few different looks, from muscle boy to hairy hunk to beefy beast. I'm hoping to for a return for four of them. Ben Bray, Ryan Daharsh and David Marshall are perfect in their own ways and I love Roberto Bertollini's regular guy sexiness. Ryan, Marshall and Roberto might be different characters the next time, but we'll see what happens.

Happy US Thanksgiving!

I'm lucky enough to have two Thanksgivings. I didn't post anything on Canadian Thanksgiving but I did celebrate it back in Toronto doing the family thing. Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, turnip and pumpkin pie. Now, it's American Thanksgiving and I'm celebrating again. More turkey, stuffing, yams, green bean casserole and sweet potato pie.

While that's all great, there's more to be thankful for than just food. There's you. I am very thankful for you visiting, reading and commenting. And I'm thankful for a ton of blog-related things ... so I identified a few. (Note: I'm not going to call out specific wrestlers and matches, because the Caveys are coming up.)

Thanks!

Review: Cameron Matthews vs. Cole Cassidy (BGEast)

BGEast has started to tease their new catalogue on The Arena. First up is Demolition 27, featuring three nasty heels (Cole Cassidy, Shane McCall, Josh Goodman) against three jobbers (Cameron Matthews, Drake Marcos, Christian Taylor). They've released Cole Cassidy vs. Cameron Matthews on VOD, which is weird because normally the match I want most to see is last to be available.

Since the fates had smiled kindly on me, I just had to check it out.

Cameron vs. Cole has escaped the vault.

Review: Chris Cannon vs. Nick Flex (Muscleboy Wrestling)

Full disclosure: This video was provided to me by Muscleboy Wrestling.

I was interested to see Nick Flex vs. Chris Cannon hit the mats. This is a sequel to their ring encounter, which is explicitly referenced as one guy wants to even the score and the other one wants to continue his dominance. Chris wasn't that comfortable in the ring, but I figured they'd do better on the mats and they do, although it takes some patience to get there.

Once the big men warm up, things get good.

Encounters: Erotic Hotel Wrestling Association 2

The Arch. Spa and Resort. St. Louis MO.

It wasn't easy, but I did it. I fought. I struggled. I fucked. All the way to the top. Well, almost to the top. Just five more minutes and I'll be finishing the job. A shiny new championship belt around my waist. Fuck, my cock is hard and leaking already as I run through how I'm gonna do it.

Ready for my big shot.

Review: Tanner Hill vs. Zack Johnathan (88Wrestling)

Recently, there was a sale on Tanner Hill videos at 88Wrestling, so I picked up three matches, including Tanner Hill vs. Zack Johnathan. While I like Tanner, he's never been a must-buy or must-watch. However, my interest was piqued by some recent pics I've seen. Tanner seems to have gone through a transformation from chiseled frat boy to rugged muscleman. I'm wowed by his new look and had to check him out. Turns out, his body in action is even better.

Tanner and Zack visit Flex City.

Review: Jonny Firestorm vs. Joe Robbins (BGEast)

When BGEast first teased their new catalogue (139), I knew right away that I wanted Jonny Firestorm vs. Joe Robbins. Of all the matches on there, it was the main one that I fixated on, which is weird because, no offense to him, I've never been a Joe Robbins fan. He's big and handsome, but he's never wowed me. The few times I've seen him, he seemed too cool for school and like he's going through the motions.

What sold me on this video is Jonny Firestorm and the promise of seeing him kick Joe's ass. I knew I'd have to endure the reverse, but I figured that would only make it sweeter. I also knew if anyone could get a great performance out of the big man, it'd be Jonny.

It's okay, Jonny. I know you're
cooking up something good.

Encounters: Erotic Hotel Wrestling Association 1

A Vacation House Rental. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The Husband

“Whoa.”

In response, the lean and luscious 24-year old blond stud simply smiled coyly, his bright white teeth shining. With his stunning face, deep blue eyes, thick mop hair and chiseled body, he was used to making men lose control. Especially when he pumped his body as he had just moments before, making his eight-pack abs and sculpted muscles pop in his shiny pink thong.

The heavyset wrestler gathered himself. At 5’11”/350-lbs, he was a massive monster, more than twice as big as the 6’1”/170-lbs vision in the doorway, and yet he didn’t feel in control of the situation. It was an unusual feeling for him, but the stunning blond was an unusual man, too. As the handsome young god blocked his entry, the big bruiser introduced himself.

Eye of the Cyclone: Scorpion in "Mind Over Matter"

It's been a while since I posted about Eye of the Cyclone. Now felt like a good time to post again as we've recently reached big conclusions to a couple of hot ongoing stories that have elements that I love, love, love. Last month, after 14 chapters, "Lab Rat" ended with a huge climax as the heroes faced certain doom. And last week, "Mind Over Matter" concluded its six-chapter run.

I decided to focus on "Mind Over Matter" because it features the amazing Scorpion and it combined several personal favorite superhero story elements.

It's Scorpion (matter) vs. Anarchy (mind)!

Review: Justin Pierce vs. Kid Vicious (BGEast)

So, I've had another longer than usual break between posts (six whole days). I haven't watched many videos lately and none of the few that I have seen have inspired me to make a review. I do have a few on the docket with some interesting scenarios and reliable studs like Jonny Firestorm, Scrappy, Taylor Reign and more. Fingers crossed that they're either really good or really bad!

To fill the void, I looked back at classic BGEast. As I scrolled, Ultra-Heels 4 popped out for a couple of reasons. As you will see, I may have upended expectations by focusing on Justin's toughness rather than his weakness.

Can the hero shock the world?

Review: Devin vs. Kasee "Close Contact" (Underground Wrestler)

A friend sent me an email raving about one of the newest wrestlers at Underground Wrestler. Here’s just an excerpt of what I received ...

“Devin will be a true superstar if he chooses to continue his underground wrestling career — and I really hope he does! Not only does he have a body cut from diamond, nipples that could slice through glass, and a perfectly proportioned package, he also has a cocky surfer-boy look and attitude with his thick up-do, light dusting of body hair, frequent use of the word “bro”, and killer smirk that literally melts me inside. He also seems to have limitless energy, as he recovers quickly from moves and is always ready to grapple or flex-off again even when coated in a light sheen of sweat. Best of all, he has a proclivity to refer to his aforementioned package often and frequently dangles it on his opponent’s face and head!”

With that kind of build up, what else could I do? I checked out Devin vs. Kasee.

Devin: "Come on, fucking flex, bro."

The Cast: Who's Who (October 2019)

Guys,

This will be my shortest ever casting post. Only four guys, only one new and he's the one guy for whom I'm not sharing a base image. Still, my OCD requires me to create this post, so here we go!

The Cave 25: Cody vs. Beau

Beau = Steven Webb (Bodybuilder)

Review: #685 Axel vs. Gabe Steel (UCW)

Gabe Steel: I believe that people like to see you suffer, Axel. I don't think there's been enough of that. So, that's when a guy like me comes in and takes care of that problem.

Gabe Steel must be reading blogs because he nailed a very common sentiment that I see in the comments for posts of Axel matches. There are definitely some vocal commenters who want a change of pace where UCW's golden boy gets taken down a peg or ten. Well, Axel vs. Gabe Steel might be the video for you. Axel definitely suffers here as he gets brutally punished.

Just so I don't deceive you, this match is back-and-forth (UCW doesn't really do 100% squashes), but Gabe dominates more (probably 65% of the action) and it feels like even more than that. More importantly, he gets Axel squealing in a way I haven't heard before.

Gabe tries to answer the shortage in Axel suffering.

Review: Loki vs. Steel x 2 (Thunders Arena)

I'm talking two Thunders Arena matches today. These videos are complete on their own, but they're linked. The result of mat match is referenced in the ring match. The loser on the mats wants revenge. He calls himself "the best", but the winner reminds him that he beat him, so he's only "second-best". Of course he says that was only on the mat, but the winner has a point.

This creates some tension, but honestly, these two show a natural rivalry that makes the videos move regardless of wins or losses.

The big boys meet up on the mats ...

... but they get serious in the ring.

Review: Chace LaChance vs. Vlad (Wrestler4Hire)

Vlad: "I came here to beat all you. All you Americans are weak!"

There are two big reasons to watch this match from Wrestler4Hire: the incredibly gorgeous Chace LaChance in a jobber role and the classic storyline. As if you couldn't tell from his name, Vlad is Russian. And Chace is American. That's right, it's a classic Russia vs. USA conflict. While Chace's American pride is a little subdued, Vlad's Russian arrogance is high and a constant theme throughout.

A flag vs. flag battle!

Review: Austin Tyler vs. Quin Quire (Muscleboy Wrestling)

Full disclosure: This video was provided to me by Muscleboy Wrestling.

For a guy named similarly to one of my least favorite comic book characters, Quin Quire has managed to win me over. It helps that he’s not a pink-haired punkass bitch that’s been over-pushed for well over a decade at the expense of far more interesting characters. If you’re wondering what the heck I’m talking about, don’t worry. X-Men stuff. My main point is that I like Quin Quire. And I liked Austin Tyler vs. Quin Quire.

Quin shows off his skills.

Rival Pro Wrestling 6: Slim Jim vs. Iron Ranger

Rival Pro Wrestling. 1982.
Ring Area.

Narrator: Slim Jim

Me. Slim Jim. Wrapping up.

“Phew, what a long day.” I rise up from behind my announce desk and peel off my pastel blue sports coat. I stretch out my lean body as I remark to the cameraman, “That was quite a show. I thought it went great.”

Review: Gabe Steel vs. Marcus Ryan (Muscleboy Wrestling)

Full disclosure: This video was provided to me by Muscleboy Wrestling.

Muscleboy Wrestling has released their 16th catalogue. They've labeled it "the rougher, the better" and that's definitely true in Gabe Steel vs. Marcus Ryan. While the selections include a lot of favorites, I decided to watch this one first for some reason. Maybe I just wanted a surprise. Well, the outcome isn't a surprise (you know early on how it's going to go), but the match is impressively good.

Welcome to MBW, Marcus.
Hope you survive the experience.

Review: Ethan Andrews vs. Zack Johnathan (88Wrestling)

Full disclosure: This video was provided to me by 88Wrestling.

I like extra drama in my wrestling beyond just hot guys grappling. Stories, contrasting studs, gear, setting, whatever. Just give me some overt and clear reason why they're wrestling and I'll be much happier. This probably surprises no one, but it's in my head because recently, Joe made a request for a simple wrestling video without a story, posing, porn ...just two guys hitting the mats.

That’s so not me.

If a match doesn’t have a story, I’ll add it. I’ll add dialogue. And conflict. Ethan Andrews vs. Zack Johnathan is all about the story. And the story is the big reason why I like it so much.

Apparently, video games give you strong fingers,
which are perfect to claw a muscle jock's abs.

Review: Cameron Matthews vs. Kieron Night (W4H)

I only clicked on this video for Cameron Matthews because I'll check anything featuring him that pops up in the member's video list on Wrestler4Hire. The video is from 2015, but I think this is the first time it's been streamed. Anyway, I honestly wasn't expecting much based on the setting and opponent (no offense), but I was totally wrong. This ended up being really hot.

My low expectations were greatly surpassed!

Review: Calvin Haynes vs. Kayden Keller (BGEast)

I almost never read catalogue descriptions before I buy. Maybe at new places, but not from my usual haunts. I appreciate the effort that goes into writing them, but I just don’t find them all that useful. Too often, I’ve been either spoiled or duped. And so, I clicked play on Calvin Haynes vs. Kayden Keller with very little information, except for the series title. Even that wasn’t a ton of help because it’s an Undagear video which is one of the least defined series at BGEast.

Calvin and Kayden hook up.

The Cave 25: Cody vs. Beau

Ryan’s House. The Kitchen.

“When did I stop being a good guy, Cody?”
