Weekend Wrestling

Whoa, what's this?! Another new underground wrestling company?  This weekend I stumbled across a new site called Weekend Wrestling.  Three matches have just been released, and weekly updates with new matches and galleries are promised.  If I understand right, Cole Cassidy is the man running the show here.  Featured wrestlers so far in addition to Cole include mostly familiar faces, such as the Z-Man, Max Ryder, and Zach Reno.  You know, while it would be nice to see a brand new wrestling company with a completely fresh batch of wrestlers, I can't gripe at all if Weekend Wrestling gives some of our favorite guys another venue in which they can show off their stuff.  There must be a law out there somewhere that says Z-Man has to be on the roster of any new underground wrestling company, and I'm not complaining.  This stud shows no sign of slowing down!

It's nice to see Zach Reno getting in a heel moment.

Cole Knows Bodyslams

Check out this link for an awesome Youtube clip of Cole Cassidy bodyslamming Alexi Adamov during a BG East match.  There's so much to like about this bodyslam.  The best part is how Cole Cassidy grabs Alexi's shorts when he scoops him up and carries him around.  I've complimented Cole about this technique in my blog before.  It just makes the bodyslam that much more awesome.  Cole says that "hoisting a dude up by the crotch says everything about who's completely in control, however, when the trunks are used for leverage, it sends an additional message that the recipient is only wearing those trunks because he is being allowed to by the opponent.  That's overwhelming control in my book."  Cole Cassidy clearly understands the bodyslam.

The size difference between these two wrestlers is pretty noticeable.  For this match, BGE puts Cole Cassidy at 5' 8" and 165 pounds, while Alexi Adamov comes in at 6' 3" and 220 pounds.  But Cole has no problem hoisting his bigger opponent up to carry him around the ring before delivering a big bodyslam.  As he's writhing on the mat in pain after being slammed, you hear Alexi say, "You're fucking strong for a little guy."  That's another thing that's so great about this bodyslam.  There's no more chest bumping, no bravado, no smack talk coming from your opponent.  He's been slammed hard and humbled to the point that he compliments you.  That's when you know you've reached alpha male status on the wrestling mat.

Water Sports

Some of my best summer memories come from spending time at the pool or the beach.  When I was younger being in the water with some of my friends inevitably led to wrestling around, especially if I was with any of my wrestling buddies.  The water made it great to practice throws and pro wrestling moves.  At a public pool we never paid much attention to the "No Horseplay" signs and only grudgingly toned it down a little after being berated from the life guard.  So now I'm no longer a teenager, but I have to admit whenever I'm in a pool with other dudes, the urge to wrestle is still pretty strong.

By the way, BG East has a whole series devoted to wrestling in a pool.  If you like that kind of stuff, be sure to check it out.

Undergear

It's Friday, and the weekend is here. If you can't find some way of having fun over the weekend in your underwear, you just aren't trying hard enough. One of the great things about wrestling is how few accessories you need to do it. Forget the expensive equipment and fancy uniforms. Just put on your favorite pair of designer underwear, Under Armor, or Nike Pro shorts and have at it. Trust me, my friend, you haven't really experienced the best of wrestling if you haven't rolled with another dude wearing nothing but your Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs.

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.

Cole Cassidy

Cole Cassidy is one of my favorite wrestlers from BGEast. He executes a pretty bodyslam, a move he frequently likes to do. Cole likes to get his arm in deep through his opponent's crotch before hoisting them into the air, many times grabbing a handful of the other wrestler's shorts. It just adds to the humiliation.
