Review: Aspen vs. Joey King/Brute (Thunders Arena)

Aspen won my 2018 Cavey Award for Favorite Porn Crossover in a surprisingly competitive category. There are a lot and that's not even including guys who dabble in nudity and such. No, amongst studs (that I know) were established porn actors who then discovered wrestling, there were several strong contenders.

One of the reasons he rose to the top was that he also did wrestling-only videos, both in Muscleboy Wrestling and in Thunders Arena. It's a big step, jumping from the mats to the ring. Then, on top of that shift, starting against working pro wrestling heels? Wow. So, how did Aspen's Thunders adventure go?

Review: #638 Tyson the Hammer vs. Austin Tyler (UCW)

One of my favorite things about UCW is that they have a long-standing championship belt that gets frequently defended. Rookie Chase Michaels upending "Golden Boy" Axel a few years ago in match #490 was the high point for me (reviewed here), but it's still fun to see something be on the line. The current champ is Tyson the Hammer, whom I've liked a lot but only reviewed a couple of times. And his opponent is my 2018 Cavey Award winner for Favorite Wrestler.

Yes, Tyson Hammer vs. Austin Tyler for the belt was a must-buy.

It's a big title match at UCW.

Review: Calvin Haynes vs. Blake Starr (Wrestler4Hire)

Full disclosure: This video was provided to me by W4H MAX.

Note: This review was written prior to W4H MAX shutting down and the videos being moved to Wrestler4Hire. I didn't feel like re-writing or delaying the post. Apparently Cameron came to the same conclusion as me.

Wrestler4Hire's other spinoff, W4H MAX, describes itself as "the dark, dirty, twisted twin of Wrestler4Hire". I guess MAX is in the eye of the beholder, because I could see thing going a lot farther, but they sent me a coupon for two videos, so I figured I'd check it out. From what I've seen, the big difference is that the guys wear thongs and/or wrestle in oil, both of which don't seem like a giant leap from the regular Wrestler4Hire website.

Anyway, I picked two completely different videos to see what was up. One is a simple, story-free mat match featuring Calvin Haynes facing Blake Starr. The other, which I haven't watched yet, is a domination squash featuring 6'3"/225-lbs Joey Nux getting crushed by 3'9"/90-lbs Ricky Vegas. I think I'll need to be in the right mood for that second one.

It's hairy lean vs. hairy beefy in this
surprisingly competitive mat match.

Review: Loki vs. Scrappy (Thunders Arena)

We're back with more Loki from Thunders Arena. As I said in my previous Loki review, I was very excited to see him. And putting him against Cavey Award winning hunks like Cason (2018 Favorite Young Muscle) and Scrappy (2017 Favorite Wrestler) made these a safe bet. We know I loved the chemistry he shared with Cason. Do I like Loki vs. Scrappy as much? Or at all?

Loki just keeps smiling.

Q + A: Marco (Underground Wrestler)

I'm sure that most of you know that Marco has launched his own underground wrestling video endeavor, appropriately titled Underground Wrestler. As with any new video producer, I was both curious and a little confused. I mean, it sounds interesting, but what exactly is it? How does it work? How is it different?

As luck would have it, in December, I was offered the chance to interview Marco. Unfortunately, December was a very busy month for me. I was definitely interested, though. And so, I thought of a few questions and things we could chat about. I ended up sending them via email, just to see what he thought, and very quickly got replies to all of them! Wow.

Wow, quick turnaround on these answers!

Review: Derek Bolt vs. Blake Hunter (Muscleboy Wrestling)

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

My appreciation of Derek Bolt only grows with every tweet he posts and MBW video I see. On Twitter, he comes across as a smart, driven and down-to-earth guy who works hard, plays hard and enjoys life. On the mats, he's been a ton of fun and he plays with porn star jobbers, using his muscles to dominate then fuck his more than willing victims.

Derek Bolt vs. Blake Hunter looks like more of the same, except they're in a ring. So, am I still into Derek? You bet.

Derek enters the ring, bringing
hot hunk Blake with him.

"Aw, I thought you were staying, Steve?"

Steve looks out from his rental car, "I am. Until tomorrow then I'm going to check out Boston. I just needed to grab something.”

Steve's not leaving is he?
