Loki

Loki was the star of my last post (apologies to Scrappy).  At 5'11" and 215 pounds with bulging muscles, Loki represents the typical bodybuilder/athlete on Thunders Arena's roster.  Here are some more pictures of the big guy in action.  Most of you probably recognize Loki as professional bodybuilder and fitness model Jake Burton.  As the first picture above shows, the dude has got big biceps and really knows how to flex them.  Damn, I'm (almost) speechless!  Lucky for us, he also knows that biceps are for more than flexing, so we appreciate Loki for putting his muscles to good use by wrestling at Thunders Arena.

Wrestling In the Time of Corona Virus

Wow, it's been a week since my last post.  A couple of weeks ago I figured with all this social distancing, stay at home orders, and tele-working, I could devote more time to my blog.  Well, I guess that hasn't happened.  These are crazy times, and life has been challenging.  But I should not complain too much, because it looks like the guys at Thunders Arena are having a tougher time of it than I am.  I mean sure, I miss going to the gym, but when you're a bodybuilder wrestler whose livelihood depends on hitting the weights, life during the time of corona virus really is difficult.

During the "before" times, life looks like it's all fun and games for guys like Loki and Scrappy at TA, with their ripped physiques and all.  But now, when you spend all day in a Las Vegas penthouse, just hanging around in your posers with no access to the gym, things can become pretty challenging.  So much muscle . . . so much testosterone . . . no weight room.  What's a muscelhead to do?  A recent video from Thunders Arena gives us a little glimpse into the lives of its bodybuilder wrestlers, and while things aren't ideal, luckily it doesn't look so grim just yet.  When you got no gym to go to, then you can use each other for weights.  That's what Loki and Scrappy resort to doing when they can no longer stand just sitting around and looking at each other anymore.  To be honest, though, since Loki has a fifty pound weight advantage, it looks like he gets in most of the lifting, but Scrappy can probably tell you that getting beat up is a pretty good workout itself, too. 

Let's hope these guys (and the rest of us) get back to a real gym soon.

I don't think Loki and Scrappy quite understand what "social distancing" means.

Scrappy is a Boytoy

I my blog post earlier this week, I made a comment about Scrappy being on the smaller side at Thunders Arena.  I received a lot of emails from fans of my blog asking what I meant by that.  Ha ha, just kidding!  My blog has no fans and I never get emails.  But anyway, just in case anyone was wondering about my comments, we see here several examples of the role Scrappy gets to play when he wrestles at TA.  Sure, at 5' 8" and 160 pounds, the muscular Scrappy is no pushover.  But look at his competition at TA, with the likes of Loki (5' 10" and 220#), Rhino (6' 3" and 230#), Eagle (5' 11" and 200#), Cason (6' 1" and 235#), and Viking (6' 6" and 260#).  While I like seeing Scrappy at a place like Muscleboy Wrestling where he can show off his wrestling skills and put up a good fight against similar-sized competition, it's also fun watching Scrappy being a boytoy at TA.  Our little Scrappy is a versatile wrestler.
