Review: Bull Barrett vs. Jesse Zane (MBW)

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

I've decided that my new favorite place in the world would be trapped in Bull Barrett's camel clutch with him taunting me in my ear. I've been put in camels, but gosh, Bull's sure looks like the most fun. I once opined that everyone should experience being toyed with and tortured in an over-the-knee backbreaker (here). You still should, but based on Brendan Byers' and Jesse Zane's experience being bent back by Bull, I think this looks even better.

Bull: "Who owns your spine, boy?"
Jesse: "You do!"

Review: Johnny Greco vs. Jesse Zane (Muscleboy Wrestling)

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

Jesse: "Dude, word on the street is that you like to lose."

I wonder what streets Jesse is hanging out on where they talk about jobbers? I've already raved about Bull Barrett's sophomore video against Brendan Byers (reviewed here). Now, I've had a chance to watch his rookie opponent, Johnny Greco, in his second match against self-proclaimed MBW champ Jesse Zane. Bull crushed it in his second match. Can Johnny do the same?

Jesse: "You don't fucking know what you're in for." 

Review: Scrappy vs. Jesse Zane (Muscleboy Wrestling)

I haven't reviewed a Scrappy match for three months. Remarkable. There's no wrestler I've blogged about more in my 5+ years of blogging. There's no wrestler who's won more Caveys, including being my Favorite Wrestler twice in the last three years. The gap wasn't deliberate, just a confluence of events that led me to not seeing the young stud in action. Shame on me.

Scrappy!

Review: Austin Tyler vs. Jesse Zane (Muscleboy Wrestling)

It's always exciting to see a favorite underground wrestler appear somewhere new. It doesn't always work out well, but that doesn't mean it's not exciting. In this case, I get to check out Austin Tyler at a third location. I've enjoyed him at UCW and Wrestler4Hire, so Muscleboy Wrestling can make it a trifecta, if Austin Tyler vs. Jesse Zane delivers.

It's Austin's debut at Muscleboy Wrestling

Review: Chris Cannon vs. Jake Zane (Muscleboy Wrestling)

I'm sure there are great Muscleboy Wrestling videos I haven't seen. I was planning on looking for another video with newbies, but Chris Cannon made me change plans. I enjoyed him a lot in his debut, so I decided to check out his return pretty much immediately.

Did I make the right call? Was Chris Cannon vs. Jake Zane worth it?

Jake: "Argh! My back!"
Cannon: "What's wrong with your back?"

Review: Jake Zane vs. Steve Tanner (Muscleboy Wrestling)

TRIGGER WARNING: ANTI-GAY LANGUAGE

You might notice the above warning. I got the idea from a comic book message board that I frequent. If they post offensive content, they give you a "trigger warning" so that you can decide if you want to look. I debated between hate speech or homophobia, but I wanted something that doesn't connote intent by the producer or performer. Anti-gay language feels more like an objective fact. It's not debatable that the language is used, regardless of the intent.

If you've been a follower of this blog for a while, you know that I strongly dislike this. It has impacted my willingness to purchase from certain companies and my enjoyment of certain videos. I have been choosing not to review certain videos because of it. I know some of you agree with me and I know many of you don't.

This isn't a debate, it's how I feel about it. Feel however you like.

Certainly gay-oriented wrestling video producers continue to prominently feature this kind of language in their products, even though it demeans their primary audience. Guido Genatto can't stop calling everyone a queen. UCW guys have been loving the 'no homo' stuff. And in this particular video from Muscleboy Wrestling, Jake Zane takes it up a few levels at 13:39, insulting a helpless Steve Tanner by calling him a pussy f*****.

Jake tries to bash Steve verbally and physically.
