Is Wrestling My Porn?

Someone once joked that if you run out of gay porn, just watch wrestling because it's basically the same thing.  I responded with a polite chuckle, but after thinking about it, I began to wonder if wrestling is my porn.  Porn itself just isn't my thing, gay or straight.  It's rare that I ever watch it.  But wrestling, on the other hand, is a different matter.  There are some days where I waste hours on the computer searching for and watching wrestling videos and downloading pictures.  I love wrestling for the sport, and I also love it for the masculinity of it.  So yeah, I have to admit that sometimes it does get me "going" a bit, if you know what I mean.

But does wrestling rise to the level of porn?  If so, I guess that's why some gay porn stars also do wrestling videos.  I'm aware that a few guys I blog about (probably a lot more) are also active in the adult film industry.  I'm not that clued in to the industry to know its stars, but at least I'm clued in enough to know that Topher Dimaggio is one of the better known names out there.  So, it's really no surprise he does wrestling videos, too, including a recent match at Wrestler4Hire that I feature here.

Topher finds himself in the ring wrestling big boy Joey Nux.  And seriously, Joey is a very big boy.  And absolutely shredded, too.  The dude just exudes strength and power.  Topher really doesn't stand a chance.  I liked watching this match very much.  I enjoyed the muscles, the sweat, the athleticism.  These are the very things that draw me to wrestling.  Plus it's no secret that I love lift and carry power moves in wrestling, and Joey absolutely delivers as he bodyslams, racks, backbreaks, and piledrives Topher throughout this match.  And Topher does his job well, too, enduring the punishment and suffering like a jobber boy is supposed to suffer at the hands of a muscular heel.  I still don't have any real interest seeing Topher performing in adult films, but I defintely want to see a lot more of him in the wrestling ring.

Hmm, watching Joey piledrive Topher over and over . . . 
Maybe wrestling really is my porn!
