Super Joey

Several months ago I purchased this wrestling match from Hero Hunks, but it somehow got lost among other things I was checking out, so I never posted about it.  This is a match between Joey Nux as "Steel Man" and Chace LaChance as "Silver Serpent".  I gotta say, I really love seeing Joey Nux playing the Superman character.  Actors who have portrayed Superman have had to wear special suits that make them look like they have big muscles.  Well, that's not needed for Joey.  His real muscles are absolutely bulging in his Superman suit.  This dude should be playing Superman in all the movies from now on.  I also like how Joey plays the character.  To be honest, I've always been just a lukewarm fan of Superman, probably because of his squeaky clean image.  But when Joey comes face to face with Chace LaChance, there's nothing squeaky clean about how he acts.  Joey shows us a Superman who is total heel, and he goes all alpha over Chace.  This is the kind of Superman I can really get into.

Joey Nux is super as Superman!

Fan Appreciation

I've thought about contacting some of the underground wrestling productions to ask about a tour, meet some of the wrestlers, maybe even watch some matches being filmed.  Afterall, I'm an influencer in the world of wrestling, I've promoted their products, so don't they owe me something like that?  Maybe if I had more than seven people reading my posts, I would have better luck catching the attention of the guys who run these companies.  But it looks like Cameron Matthews had a fan appreciation day a little while back where some lucky loser got to meet Dark Detective (Austin Cooper) and Detective Boy (Scrappy) at Hero Hunks.

Things start off awesome for our lucky fanboy when both Austin and Scrappy treat the dude to an impressive display of strength by pressing him overhead.  This is exactly the kind of experience I want when I get the chance to meet some of my favorite wrestlers.  But unfortunately for our fanboy, things quickly begin to unravel.  His big mistake is telling Austin that Scrappy is stronger.  Austin is second to no one, so he takes offense and quickly turns on the fanboy.  And Scrappy, who up to this point appears at best to be mildly annoyed with fanboy, quickly joins in on the punishment.  As for the remainder of fan appreciation day, well, I guess the pictures give you a little taste of what fanboy had to endure, finding himself hogtied in the end.  To be honest, if Cameron ever plans another fan appreciation day, after seeing this match I can't decide if I would skip it or run to the front of the line.  Seeing fanboy hogtied like that give me so many conflicting emotions . . .

Scrappy knows how to show his fans some love!

Tsunami Warning

You may have gotten the impression from my recent post about Scrappy and Christian Thorn at Hero Hunks that their match was a real squash job by Scrappy.  But don't be so fooled!  Both wrestlers had their moments as heel and jobber.  The last post highlighted "White Wolf" Scrappy.  This one looks at Christian, who appears in the match as his superhero alter-ego Tsunami.  I'm not quite sure what his powers are, other than being strong as fuck.  With the yellow gloves on his hands, maybe he's super fast at washing dishes, too.  Who knows.  It doesn't really matter so long as he wrestles.  Christian is one of those wrestlers who comes across as a small guy, especially in the world of pro-style wrestling, but at the same time he also looks like a big guy.  It's those arms of his.  Those muscles are huge!  I think Scrappy looks much bigger than Christian in this match because Scrappy is layered in thick muscles.  But Christian shows that he's no pushover, and he uses those big muscled arms of his to toss Scrappy around a good bit.  Overall, the match has good back and forth action with each wrestler showing off his skill, power, and muscles.  I look forward to seeing both Christian and Scrappy as superheroes in future matches at Hero Hunks.

By the way, it's time for another Backbreaker Monday, this time brought to you by "Tsunami" Christian Thorn.  Thanks Christian!

Hero Hunks

I'm sure all you guys remember my blog post a few months back about wrestler "Tarzan" Tyler Reese.  In that post I admitted that when I was younger I imagined fantasy wrestling matches between fictional characters, such as Spider-Man and Tarzan.  Superheroes obviously featured in those fantasy . . . guys in tights locked in hand to hand combat . . . wearing masks . . . big muscles on display.  What's not to love about that?  Not long after that post, I saw Cameron Matthews had begun featuring his Wrestler4Hire athletes in superhero theme matches under the moniker of Hero Hunks.  It made me wonder if Cameron was reading my mind.  Just this week, Hero Hunks promoted a match featuring Scrappy and Christian Thorn, both of whom have to be in the the top five (if not the top two) of my favorite wrestlers at W4H.  Now I know Cameron is definitely reading my mind.

The match features Scrappy as "White Wolf" while Christian wrestles as "Tsunami".  Both of these guys are small in stature, at least when compared to many of the big wrestlers at W4H.  But Scrappy and Christian have big muscles, and they love to show them off.  That's what makes this match so fun to watch.  And Scrappy in particular, there's just something about him, with his massive chest and shoulders, his big biceps . . . the dude just exudes masculine power.  He uses that power throughout the match to punish Christian with bearhugs, fireman's carries, backbreakers, and the most alpha of all wrestling moves, the gorilla press.  Looks how those veins pop in his bulging biceps!

I don't know how well you can see this, but Scrappy presses "Tsunami" over his head with no help at all from Christian.  Often times with a gorilla press, you see the one dude help by placing his hands on the other guy's shoulder, but here the move is all Scrappy.  He's got the tights, the mask, and the big muscles.  Scrappy is all hunk and all hero in this match.  Awesome!

So going a little further with this theme, like I mentioned above, Spider-Man featured large in my fantasy wrestling matches.  Here we see a picture I found on the internet of Dante from Muscleboy Wrestling dressed as Spider-Man.  This isn't from a wrestling match, but holy fuck, talk about a hunky hero!  Someone needs to get Dante in the ring so I can watch Spider-Man bodyslam the shit out of some other tights-clad, masked hero and make my wrestling fantasy come to life!
