Tristan Archer

Tristan Archer is a muscle stud from Calgary who wrestles for promotions in France. Here he is delivering a good looking bodyslam on his opponent Tony Cecaldi, who Archer goes on to defeat. I like to think that Archer is over in France because the French have to import corn fed muscle jocks from North America to appear in their wrestling competitions (maybe I should audition). Anyway, Archer looks pretty good in a wrestling ring. I especially like the second photo, which clearly shows Archer squeezing Cecaldi's ass, just like all good wrestlers do during a bodyslam.

Dave Calbrese v. Rocco

In my last post, I said how much I liked it when smaller guys dominate bigger muscle guys. But I have to admit that I like it when muscle guys dominate smaller guys. I guess I like most anything when it involves bodyslams and muscle guys. Anyway, in another match at NRW, Dave Calbrese faced a smaller opponent named Rocco Scarletti and, of course, Calbrese dishes out a good bodyslam in a match where he dominates his skinnier opponent. I love the look of anguish on Rocco's face as Calbrese scoops him up and prepares him for the slam. He's humiliated at being manhandled like that. I've seen that look before. I like that look.

Dave Calbrese v. The Ox

No Rules Wrestling is one of those Internet wrestling productions featuring young guys fighting it out in a ring. Their matches seem to feature a lot of punching, fist fights, and even sleeper submissions. But there's not a lot of pro-style lifts, throws, and slams except for the pretty easy fireman's carry. Yet one wrestler who has caught my eye is Dave Calbrese (featured before in this blog) because he likes to bodyslam his opponents. I came across a match of his against The Ox, who is a 220 pound muscle dude, significantly bigger than Calbrese, and I figured Calbrese had met his match. But Calbrese surprised me by scooping up his huge opponent with a beautiful crotchlift and delivering a monster bodyslam. It's fun seeing a smaller wrestler dominate his larger opponent. I would love to wrestle Calbrese because we are about the same size. I'd probably get bodyslammed a few times, but that would still be fun.

Red White and Blue

I've had a red, white, and blue USA wrestling singlet since before high school. And most of the serious wrestlers I knew did, too. There's nothing like proudly putting your colors on and walking onto the mat or into the ring, ready to dish out some punishment for the glory of your country. Here's a red, white, and blue bodyslam tribute in honor of July 4th. Have a great Independence Day everyone.

OTK Backbreaker

These action pics from matches at BGEast show the otk backbreaker, which is a fun move to use when you're wrestling another guy. After you crotchlift him and walk him around a little bit to show you're the alpha male, bring the dude's back down onto your knee a couple of times for some extra punishment. It just makes the final bodyslam even more devastating.

Pump Handle Slam

A fun way to get a guy is with a pumphandle slam. It's a great prostyle lift for those wrestlers who like the ball and chain technique. In action here is Cody Nelson who's been featured before in the blog, wrestling against his younger brother Troy in a match at Thunders Arena. What a gene pool these two wrestling studs come from.

Ghenadie Tulbea

These photos show Ghenadie Tulbea slamming his opponent during the European wrestling championships. It would have been cool if he had been able to hoist him high off the mat before slamming him, but it's an impressive move nonetheless in real wrestling. I find it funny to see a wrestler from Monaco, which is more a haven for the rich and less a hotbed of wrestling activity. But Tulbea is really from Moldova. How he wound up in Monaco I don't know, but he's doing something right with his wrestling if he can earn enough to live in Monaco.
