No Respect

My last post with the flashback on Mr Destiny got me thinking about other wrestlers and wrestling matches from the past.  And that got me thinking about Vinny Trevino, a wrestler at BG East many years ago who captured my attention around the time I began my exciting journey into this mysterious world of underground wrestling.  I remember liking Vinny from the start for many reasons, one being his name.  Back in high school there was this one wrestler on another team named Vinny who caught my attention one season.  A swarthy Italian, he clearly stood out from the rest of us corn fed Midwestern white boys.  I always wanted to wrestle him, but we were different weight classes, so it never happened. 

I also liked Vinny Trevino from the start because of his looks.  With his dark hair, olive complexion, masculine features, and incredible physique, he was the epitome of health and fitness.  Make him a wrestler on top of all that, and Vinny Trevino is hard to beat.

Vinny Trevino only wrestled in about seven or so matches at BG East.  Not enough for my taste, of course, but enough to create a body of work that we can appreciate.  Here is Vinny in a match against Brandon Aldrich called Clobber the Jobber.  Whenever there is a jobber, there also has to be a heel, and Vinny shines in this match as the heel.  Like I said not long ago about Iván Guerrero, I like my heels to be good looking, hunky wrestlers.  And that's what we get in Vinny Trevino.  But there's also another ingredient for a great heel, and that's a cocky attitude.  Vinny exudes cockiness in this match, and he does so by showing absolutely no respect for Brandon.  At the start, our jobber boy shows a little attitude himself, but after losing a test of strength to Vinny in the first minute, Brandon is reduced to a sniveling, whining bitch, which is the role Vinny forces him to play for the rest of the match.  No respect!  Early in the match, Vinny lays his muscular body across Brandon's pale, lumpy torso and begins to count off the pin.  But after two, Vinny grabs Brandon by the hair and pulls his shoulders off the mat.  The heel says not yet!  He's got to earn his pay and make the match entertaining.  No respect!  Vinny scoops Brandon up high with a crotchlift, getting a big handful of the jobber's shorts, baring his ass, before delivering a massive bodyslam.  No respect!  Vinny humiliates Brandon by parading him around the ring with the groaning jobber in a sick torture rack.  No respect!  Vinny constantly stands over the blubbering Brandon, flexing his muscles, showing off his physique, barking orders at him.  No respect!  Vinny forces Brandon to participate in a boxing match with real gloves, only so Vinny can pound his abs into oblivion.  No respect!  Vinny pours ice water down Brandon's trunks.  No respect!  Vinny manhandles Brandon with repeated gutbusters while the jobber cries for mercy.  No respect!

And the final indignity comes with Vinny sitting on Brandon's chest, holding him down in a schoolboy pin and flexing his big biceps like the muscleboy he is.  The defeated jobber boy is forced to look on in admiration.  No fucking respect!!!  Boys, if you want a lesson in how to be a heel, then watch this match.
