Review: Mr. Joshua Goodman vs. Christian Taylor (BGEast)

Mr. Joshua Goodman vs. Christian Taylor is an oldie (filmed in 4:3 ratio) but newly released on the last BGEast catalogue of 2019. It was a must-see for me because of the talent but I had to wait until I was settled. Then I forgot about it and the new catalogue was released. Luckily, the Besties reminded me of its existence and I finally got a chance to enjoy the match.

It's one of the best vs. one of the newest (at the time).

Review: Jonny Firestorm vs. Christian Taylor (BGEast)

I finally got to the third match from the latest Backyard Brawl video from BGEast. So far, the compilation has been outstanding. In April, I reviewed Carter/Kirk and Karisma/Chace, both matches delivering all I wanted from sexy superstars on the outdoor mats.

So how'd this one go? Is Backyard Brawls 9 a rare trifecta of awesomeness? I think I spoiled that in an earlier review, but if I didn't, the answer is simple. Yes.

Inspiration: USA Gear

Happy 4th of July. For Americans, this day is a big deal. For non-Americans, I hope you have a good regular day.

I love USA gear. Doesn't matter if it's literally the flag or just symbolic of the flag. I've written several stories featuring guys wearing it (e.g., Encounters: Flag vs. Flag, The Cave Undercard 7.4, The Cave 15). There's just something about it that feels sexy, especially on muscleman who exude the power the flag implies. It doesn't automatically mean 'jobber' to me. In fact, the guy wearing the flag only loses in a third of the nine matches below (not counting Logan Vaughn because he was wrestling another guy wearing USA trunks).

So enjoy some screen grabs from various matches I have ...

Review: Christian/Charlie vs. Ty/Chase (BGEast)

This is the first of three reviews from BGEast's upcoming Tag Team Torture 19. It's just been released on catalogue 114.1, so check it out.

In pro wrestling, I feel like tag team wrestling has fallen on hard times. There aren’t many amazing duos and they seldom headline pay-per-views. It’s mostly singles studs pairing up for short-term title reigns before going their separate ways again. One bright spot is NXT, but the genre (is it a genre?) is still not near its glory days.

As a lifelong fan of tag teams, I watched the entire Tag Team Torture 19 compilation. At first, I was going to just do one post about it all, but really, each of these matches is unique and works better as its own post.

First up, it’s popular BGE veterans pairing up with rookie partners in Christian Taylor/Charlie Evans vs. Ty Alexander/Chase Addams.

It's called tag team torture for a reason, Christian
