Alpha Wrestling

Although I don't post about Muscle Domination Wrestling regularly in my blog, I do like to check it out from time to time.  Their wrestling videos feature an eclectic mixture of styles and themes, and every once in a while they put something together that catches my attention.  This happened recently when MDW released its Season 18 matches, including one called Gorilla Press 1.  Everyone loves the gorilla press, right?  And what's not to love about it?  In the match description, MDW says: "True power emanates and resides in only the most Alpha of men. The gorilla press is the ultimate show of strength and dominance."  That's about as good a statement as any about why the gorilla press is so fucking awesome.  It's the alpha of all alpha wrestling moves.  This particular match presents Morgan Cruise wrestling with the much smaller Charlie Evans who weighs only 120 pounds, so it doesn't take much effort to hoist his body up overhead.  Morgan Cruise doesn't really possess the look of the alpha wrestlers I normally like to feature in my blog.  To be honest, the dude could stand to visit a barber (and maybe even consider a body wax).  But there is no denying he's the alpha wrestler here and looks pretty spectacular pressing Charlie over his head.

One of the things that excites me about this match is that it's called Gorilla Press 1.  So that means there will be a 2, right?  And maybe a 3 and 4 and so on?  We can surely hope so.  But MDW may want to invest in another location to film their matches.  From the pics above, it looks like the ceiling over the ring is pretty low, so a particularly tall alpha wrestler might end up putting his opponent through the roof if he's not careful.  But on second thought, I think that's something I'd like to see.   There are a lot of alpha wrestlers at MDW who I hope will appear in these types of matches, like Braden Charron, Cal Bennett, and Chance LaChance, just to name a few.  It looks like Mutant is getting in some practice, too, so maybe we'll see him next.
