Story Preview: August 2018 (Warning: Spoilers)

August's stories are uploaded and ready to go. Here's a preview, IF you dare ...

The Cast: Who's Who (July 2018)

Guys,

Only one new guy this month, but he's a guy I just found very interesting. Back in 2016, when I was thinking about Camp Grapple, Alex R sent me him in camouflage, but also included the cowboy images. I knew I wanted him against Beau immediately. It's taken me a long time to get to it, but I finally managed to do it.

Review: Austin Cooper vs. Scrappy (Wrestler4Hire)

Scrappy: What’s this I hear about my girlfriend?

Austin: I trained you. I figured I’d train her, too. I mean, it was a good time. She was a little bit easier to train than you were.

Once again, the two most frequently discussed wrestlers on this blog face off. This time, it's at Wrestler4Hire. Because I stream, it was an easy decision to check out Austin Cooper vs. Scrappy, just a couple of months after I watched them roam around the Thunders Arena house in a gut bashing melee. Luckily, this squash job in the ring is a lot different, so there's no feeling of familiarity.

Austin's proud of his training technique.

Review: Scrappy vs. Mad Dog Mike (Wrestler4Hire)

There are a lot of wrestling videos that I consider specialty tastes. Due to talent or storyline, I think they'll appeal to a smaller group of people than others. Too often, people try to say those videos or wrestlers are bad. To me, they're all good, if they're produced well and appeal to the intended audience. That's why I'll often end reviews explaining who I think will like the video on top of my own opinion.

Maybe I'm wrong in my assessment, but Scrappy vs. Mad Dog Mike from Wrestler4Hire feels like a specialty taste to me. I see two specific storylines in here that can be very appealing, if you're into seeing good-looking muscle guys squashed (and not everyone is) by a young chubby brute (and not everyone is into this, either).

Mad Dog's Mike's not impressed by that muscle.

Review: Trent Blayze vs. Jonny Firestorm (BGEast)

I've been traveling a lot recently, which is a big part of the reason why there's been so much Thunders Arena coverage lately. I loaded up my iPad and caught up on all of Vegas. Conversely, BGEast just isn't convenient on the road. It looks like I basically missed catalogue 128, since VODs for catalogue 129 are now available. I'm okay with that, since there were only a couple of matches I was genuinely interested in (Zip/Z-Man, Mitch/Jobe). Both Bard and Joe reviewed them if you want to know more.

So, I've decided to look forward rather than back. Jonny Firestorm vs. Trent Blayze is one of the new ones I definitely wanted. And it was available early (that seldom happens)! Great. I VOD'ed it on Saturday. How'd it go?

Somebody wishes this was a twenty minute video.

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

Thunders Arena left Vegas a long time ago. They've moved on to the new Cap era (and he does look like a cutie), but I'm still wrapping up my Sin City purchases. These are the final two, both featuring gorgeous muscle studs Cason and Steel. Even though the videos feature the same talent, they are completely different in look, tone and feel.

A picture perfect pair.

Review: Bolt + Scrappy + Eagle/Steel/Viking

While in Vegas, someone at Thunders Arena clearly thought it'd be a great idea to have one big hunk dominate two smaller studs. Whether this was a fan, the wrestlers or the production crew, we'll likely never know, but we certainly see the result. As the only “small” guys on the Vegas trip, Bolt and Scrappy ended up as the sacrificial lambs not once, not twice, but three times.

I ended up buying all three for some strange reason. Must have been the way the promotions worked out that I just added one in each time I made a buy. Luckily, they were all quite different. And so, let’s see how they went.
