Newcomer of the Year

There were many great wrestlers to consider when deciding who should be Wrestler of the Year.  But several dudes we looked at are relative newcomers to the wrestling scene, and they didn't have a large enough body of work to justify winning the award.  Yet these new guys deserve some sort of recognition.  That's why for this year Bodyslam Fan Blog has created a special "Newcomer of the Year" award and giving it to Jersey of Thunders Arena.  At 5' 11" and 205 pounds, this dude is a beast, and his wrestling is solid.  Jersey pretty much clinched the award with this stunning gorilla press during his match with Tak and looking diesel while doing so.  They say a picture is worth a thousand words, which is good because this photo leaves me (almost) speechless.

You know, Tak has long been the boy toy at TA because he finds himself gorilla pressed repeatedly by many of the other muscle wrestlers.  With this in mind, I'm hoping TA will also make Tak wrestle newcomers Eagle and Travis soon so Tak can find himself once again in this familiar position.  It never gets old, especially when performed by a dude like Jersey.
