Wrestling With Yourself

I don't give a lot of attention to No Rules Wrestling, but there are some wrestlers there who I like.  One is Dave Calbrese who I have featured several times in my blog.  Another wrestler who has my interest is Krush, probably because he's a big, muscled up dude.  I like to see muscle wrestlers dominate, but unfortunately for some reason NRW seems to like having Krush get crushed by smaller guys.  There's one more guy of interest at NRW, and he's a masked muscle dude called The Widowmaker, and it looks like he generally leaves a trail of destruction when he enters the ring.  Some time ago when I was studying the NRW website, I came to the conclusion that Krush and The Widowmaker are the same dudes (they both have massive pecs with an identical freckle on the left one).  Even NRW admits that there are rumors that the two are one and the same, so they recently staged a match featuring Krush supposedly going up against The Widowmaker.  Clearly this is not the same Widowmaker from the other matches.  He's got muscles, but he looks smaller and paler.  Perhaps enraged at seeing someone posing as his alter ego, Krush turns to a heel and takes the other dude apart, or at least that's what it looks like in the video preview.  In the process of dominating, Krush picks up the imposter with a nice crotchlift and parades the dude around the ring before bringing him down for a spine snapping back breaker.  This is the Krush I like to see, a total dominating bad ass.  I hope NRW gives us more of this Krush in future matches.

Here's the official NRW photo of The Widowmaker.  You decide:

Spring Break

I've been doing this blog for almost three years now.  At one time I had the idea that I should blog every day, but even blogging a few times a week has been difficult.  I'm impressed with guys like Joe at Ringside and Bruno at Beefcakes who can produce so much material on a regular basis.  For me, some months the inspiration is there, but other months it is a struggle.  My decision to do a blog just focused on bodyslams doesn't make it any easier, either.  Luckily there are several sources to inspire me, like the wrestlers at Rock Hard Wrestling, and a lot of times I probably should just let the action photos speak for themselves.  For now, though, I think it's time to take a break from blogging, at least until the wrestling muse reappears.  And when he does come back, I better take a hold of him like these dudes at RHW are doing to their opponents.  I'm going to shake him as hard as I can until I get every last drop of inspiration out of him.  See you guys in a few weeks.

March Madness

You don't have to be a mad or angry person to be a wrestler, but these emotions can come in handy when you're engaged in a combat sport.  Sometimes you have to call on these emotions in order to gain that extra strength you need to take control of your opponent and win the match.  I'm not so sure why Rob Terry looks so mad all the time when he's about to bodyslam another dude.  It's not like he doesn't have the muscles to crush almost any guy who steps in the ring with him.  I guess he's just mean.

VsK

Last year I did a post about clean cut jocks beating up on hippies, and one of the photos was of indy wrestler VsK delivering a bodyslam on a long haired freak.  Here are some more pictures of VsK dishing out punishment on both the hippie and non-hippie type.  VsK (aka Vinny Scalice) keeps himself busy by wrestling for several different promotions, including Victory Pro Wrestling, East Coast Wrestling Association, and Federated Wrestling.  The interesting thing about him is that he didn't always keep his hair so short.  Check him out below:

Wrestling Down Under

 

I've been hit by the flu but luckily I'm slowly recovering.  I'm not strong enough yet to do any bodyslams myself, but I do have enough strength back for another post of bodyslams.  Back in January I featured Australian wrestler Mike Petersen.  Here are some of his fellow wrestlers from Australia in action.

Muscle Wins

In my recent posts I've talked about how skinny dudes can be deceptively powerful when you face them in the ring or on the wrestling mat.  But no matter how impressive a skinny guy is, this can only get him so far.  There's not a lot he can do when he runs up against a real muscle dude, especially when that dude comes in the form of Karl the Muscle Boy.  Here are some more photos from Karl's match against a guy he just simply calls the "skinny guy".  There are several things to like about these pictures.  In the first one you got Karl's big smile.  As a wrestler you try to appear tough and mean, but sometimes when you find yourself in total control of another dude, you just can't help but be pleased with yourself.   I love how Karl lifts the skinny guy up high.  This is as close as I've seen the muscle boy come to pressing another dude over his head.  Let's hope Karl gives us a show like that soon.

Lorenzo

We saw Lorenzo Smalls in my last post.  I doubt Smalls is his real name, but it's probably something No Rules Wrestling gave him.  Let's face it.  Lorenzo is not a big guy, especially in the world of pro-style wrestling.  In fact, he's down right skinny.  I've done many, many posts extolling the virtues of the muscular dudes of wrestling.  But you can't always overlook the skinny dudes.  Some skinny dudes are deceptively strong and pack a lot of power in their lean bodies.  In the match above, Lorenzo faces off against Drake.  Now, Drake himself is of modest proportions in the world of pro wrestling, but he looks beefy and muscular compared to Lorenzo.  This should be an easy match for Drake, right?  Actually not, because the skinny dude wins.  Lorenzo caps off his victory by scooping Drake up and bodyslamming him before the pin.  Lorenzo may not look like the type who can lift and toss other dudes around, but there's hidden power within that small stature of his.  He also proves what I have said many times about technique.  The nice, deep crotch hold Lorenzo secures on the bigger Drake goes a long way in allowing the skinny guy to hoist up his larger opponent for the winning bodyslam.
