New Year, New Computer

It's been a long time since my last post.  Sadly, my computer crashed back at the beginning of summer, and I lost a lot of material.  When I finally got a new computer a few months ago, the motivation to begin blogging again just wasn't there.  And of course I didn't have much material to work with anyway.  But lately after perusing the internet and checking out more matches and other things, I realize there are still tons of muscleboys out there delivering awesome bodyslams.  These studs of wrestling have inspired me to renew blogging, so my resolution for the year 2020 is to get back at it.  I've already got several ideas to blog about, so please keep checking in for new posts.

Happy New Year guys!

Super Bowl of Wrestling

It's Super Bowl Sunday, a day for a battle of champions!  The Super Bowl is a pretty big deal, but champions battle it out in other sports all the time.  Rock Hard Wrestling has created a series of matches called King of the Ring where champion caliber wrestlers meet in the squared circle.  About a year ago the second in the KOTR series featured Alex Waters against Dash Decker.  Alex Waters has a lot of ring experience with RHW, while at the time of the match Dash was a relative newcomer.  But Dash's size, power, and skill are not to be overlooked.  Both wrestlers fight hard and liberally use bodyslams and other high powered moves in the struggle to establish their Alpha dominance.

Can Alex's experience overcome Dash's strength and power?  Or is it time for a new king to ascend the throne at RHW?

UPDATE: And speaking of the Super Bowl, Thunders Arena is offering a free download today with $50 in purchases in honor of Super Bowl 50.  Check it out!

Dash Decker

Dash Decker is a relatively new face that Rock Hard Wrestling introduced recently.  At 6' and 200 pounds, he's got a good physical presence in the ring.  According to his bio, he's a successful bodybuilder with prior amateur wrestling experience.  Like I've said before, bodybuilding and wrestling make a great combination.  Dash's opponent in one of his early matches is Matt Engel, who also claims to be a bodybuilder.  And while Matt is pretty impressive in his own right, at 5' 9" and 155 pounds, it looks like he's got a way to go before he can catch up with Dash.  I'd say that Dash wins the flex off between the two before the wrestling begins.  And once the wrestling starts, Dash handles himself pretty well, using his superior strength and size to his definite advantage.  For more on Dash's match against Matt, check out Joe's blog at Ringside.

As good as Dash looks in the ring, he's still lacking in experience.  This was evident during the match when Dash tried to powerslam Matt on the rebound after whipping him against the ropes.  I like the looks on their faces in the pic below.  They both know the move didn't go quite as planned.  I'm not sure what's worse, being powerslammed or being fingered like that.  I don't know if Dash and Matt were friends before they filmed their match, but it looks like they got to know each other pretty well during it.
