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: Alex Costa vs. Ryan Sparks (Muscleboy Wrestling)

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

When I first opened Alex Costa vs. Ryan Sparks, I wondered if this was a classic (i.e., two years old) MBW video that they were sharing with me out of their back catalogue. I didn't think I'd missed an Alex Costa match, certainly not one where he faces an even bigger more muscly opponent, but there are definite signs it's from the early days. After visiting the website, I can confirm that this is a catalogue 15 match and it's a good one.

Alex goes back to jobber-land when
he runs into the big bodybuilder.

Review: Alex Costa vs. Luca Ferrari (Muscleboy Wrestling)

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

I like to be a couple of weeks ahead on posts, but I'm running pretty last minute these days. I've been really busy with work and life, but it's mainly that I've been watching a lot of mediocrity lately. Since I'm struggling to figure out what to review, I turned to Alex Costa vs. Luca Ferrari. I figured it'd be good, given the talent and the website description of their relationship. Luckily, it lived up to my expectations, so here we are.

Boyfriends bring it to the MBW mats!

Review: Alex Costa vs. Derek Bolt (Muscleboy Wrestling)

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

I've said this before, but one of the biggest challenges when I'm writing my stories is when I have two superstar characters facing off. It's why obvious battles like Cody vs. Beau or Ryan vs. Josh have been on my list every year and always get put off. It adds a lot of pressure because of the expectations and it feels like it has to be 'epic' in some way.

Honestly, I wasn't really clamoring for Alex Costa vs. Derek Bolt, but it's definitely a battle of superstars. And so, I dropped everything the same night this showed up in my inbox.

There's a lot of MAN in that ring.

Review: Alex Costa vs. Joey McCoy (Muscleboy Wrestling)

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

It’s nice to know that I can keep being surprised. Alex Costa vs. Joey McCoy looked familiar. It started familiar. Big hairy hunk versus much smaller boyish jobber is an age-old story. I own many versions of it, including Alex Costa vs. Armond Rizzo (review here), also from Muscleboy Wrestling. And yet, it wasn’t familiar. Thanks to two brilliant performances and stunning action, this becomes an amazing match that is (one of) the best ever with this story.

Alex is bigger and badder,
but Joey is a tough little guy.

Review: Alex Costa vs. Quin Quire (Muscleboy Wrestling)

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

A friend e-mailed me this:
Whatever your plans are for today for TV or other things ... scratch them. You have to watch this match and then make a review of it ASAP. I’m not exaggerating. Drop everything and watch it. I’m going little by little. I’m still on minute 19 and it’s over 48!

He was talking about Alex Costa vs. Quin Quire. This match is one that I would’ve bought and watched no matter what, but with this kind of ringing endorsement and a link provided by MBW, I decided to jump on it fast. Well, reasonably fast, because like my helpful buddy, I didn’t make it all the way through this one in one shot.

These two hunks certainly grab you right away.

Review: Alex Costa vs. Ethan Slade (Muscleboy Wrestling)

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

I must be pretty predictable. Or just lucky. I bet you already know what I think of this video. And you're right. I loved it, but more on why coming later.

MBW must know what I like, too. I've already explained I was traveling when the latest catalogue was released, which gave MBW time to share some videos before I could buy them. They sent me exactly the three I would've been buying: Nick Flex/Aspen (review here), Derek Bolt/Quin Quire (review here) and Alex Costa vs. Ethan Slade. That's clean living for you.

Alex is back against another lighter weight stud.

Happy Labo(u)r Day

Let's celebrate all the hard-working wrestlers out there ...

He works hard for the money;
so hard for it, honey.

Review: Alex Costa vs. Armond Rizzo (Muscleboy Wrestling)

You guys seemed to get a lot out of my previous Alex Costa reviews, so I figure I'd do another. So far at Muscleboy Wrestling, Alex has been the victim in my previous two reviews. And what a victim! Nick Flex and Bruno the Beast savored their thorough destruction of this exquisitely built muscleman (reviews: Alex vs. Nick and Alex vs. Bruno).

Alex Costa vs. Armond Rizzo offers a different, but no less amazing, perspective on Alex. So let's see how Alex handles being the dominant one for a change.

5'10" is gigantic when paired with 5'0".

Review: Bruno the Beast vs. Alex Costa (Muscleboy Wrestling)

Bruno the Beast vs. Alex Costa from Muscleboy Wrestling might hold a record for me. I don't actually keep track of these things, but I can't remember a video that has taken me this long to get through. It's a forty-minute match, but it took me probably ten viewings to finish it. So is this a good record to have or a bad one? Trust me, it's a very, very good one.

I know exactly how Alex feels. This video grabbed
me by the balls and refused to let go.

Review: Nick Flex vs. Alex Costa (Muscleboy Wrestling)

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

Nick Flex: "This is what I do. Anyone who comes in here is mine. Ain't that right, prettyboy?"

I've been a Nick Flex fan since I first watched him crush Bruno in a wonderfully erotic match that was certainly a contender for a Cavey. So, when I saw he was up against a stunning hairy muscle hunk, I was all in. As luck would have it, MBW actually shared Nick Flex vs. Alex Costa with me before I got around to buying it. That's clean living for you. :)
