Review: Jake Jenkins vs. Eli Black (BGEast)

As is the case sometimes with so many guys wrestling for so many companies, we have the same matchup done two ways. I already covered Jake and Eli facing off in the RHW ring, now they're facing off on the BGEast mats.

Review: Jake Jenkins vs. Eli Black (Rock Hard Wrestling)

It’s time to look back at classic Rock Hard Wrestling again. I’ve looked back on matches with RHW exclusive phenoms Alex and Dash, as well as multi-federation superstars Zack, Austin and Jake. It’s amazing the talent that has spawned from RHW. Today, I’m reviewing a match that I believe was the debut for another prolific mega-star, Eli Black.

Two stars before they were stars

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: Marcus Ares vs. Eli Black (UCW)

"Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film 'The Neverending Story'." 

-- Lionel Hutz, attorney at law

Today is my fifth and final review of the Marcus Ares UCW matches available. It was the one I was least interested in, but it turned out to by one of my two favorites.

So why did Marcus Ares vs. Eli Black turn out to be so much better than I thought it would be?

Eli "flipped" my expectations for this match
(see what I did there ... clever, huh?)
