Route 69 S302: Toledo OH


Route 69: Toledo OH

Dylan says, "Meet you in the showers, babe?"

I nod, "Yeah, just let me get my stuff together."

My boyfriend Dylan and I kiss passionately, pressing our sweaty, bare torsos together. Dylan's shirtless in exercise shorts, while I'm in tight pro wrestling trunks and boots. We're taking advantage of the near-empty facility, working out separately. Dylan was using the treadmill and I was rolling around the pro wrestling ring, jumping rope, doing push-ups and sit-ups.



Mmm, our bodies feel so good together it's all I can do not to take him right here and now. We reluctantly break, lingering in a long stare. Finally, he leaves and I think about how lucky I am. If not for Dylan, I don't know how I would've handled the last three months since my best friend Jeff decided to not only abandon his dream to be a pro wrestler, but also quit on our journey to find where we fit.

Inspiration: Route 66's Wrestling Episode


Route 66 “A Feat of Strength”

Route 66 featured a lot of fighting. Well, it also included an entire episode with a pro wrestling theme. It was the episode “A Feat of Strength”, a Tod solo adventure and it’s on Hulu (and probably other places, if you’re not in the US).

Tod enters the ring

With the unseen Buz in the hospital fighting a mysterious virus, Tod (Martin Milner) goes it alone as the assistant to a hard-nosed wrestling promoter. The story revolves around a love triangle between a wrestler named Sandor (Jack Warden), his wife Eva and the promoter.

RHW: KOTR 4 Coverage at La Sustancia P

Guys,

Jose at La Sustancia P is doing his usual amazing job covering the upcoming release of Rock Hard Wrestling's King of the Ring 4. This time, it's the incomparable King Dash taking on Austin Cooper. I'm not sure if anyone is wrestling as much as Austin/Frey these days, but will the extra experience help him when he faces the might of RHW's number one stud?

Jose asked me what I think, so I told him. Check it out HERE.

Be sure to vote for TEAM DASH in the poll and tell everyone what you think in his comments!

Inspiration: Acknowledging Route 66

I didn't create Route 69 without inspiration. Some of you might recognize the source. I'm guessing most of you will not. It likely depends on your age and/or love of classic television.

Route 69 is heavily influenced by the 1960's TV show Route 66. Longtime readers have heard all this before, but with this new Blogger platform, I felt like I should acknowledge Route 66 again.

Route 69 S301: Springfield IL



"Nervous?"

"No, bring it on! First time for everything, right?" My boyfriend Dylan laughs nervously as he says it.

I smile back, "I can't believe you've never done it. I mean, how is that even possible?"

Dylan shrugs, "I don't know. I thought about it, for sure. I've watched enough of it. I've fantasized about it. But, it just never happened for me. I have to say that I'm glad my first time is with you, Ben."

I reassure him, "Don't worry, it'll be fun. If you want to stop at any point, we'll stop. You'll be sore afterward, but it's worth it."

Review: Aron vs. Dave Markus (Movimus)

This is the first Dave Markus match I've bought. Jose at La SustanciaP has reviewed many of them and I can see why. He has a killer body and it's usually barely covered by a perfect gear choice. So I've thought about it, but never took the plunge until this Movimus "World Series" match versus Aron, a guy I've reviewed a couple of times already (vs. Mikey Hanlon and vs. Ares).



I'm not sure what makes this a "World Series" match. They're not from different countries. It's not a best-of-seven. They don't use baseball bats, gloves or balls (that's Aron's other home UCW that would do that).
