Marco's Thunder

My last post about Marco featured an awesome match of his at Wrestler 4 Hire.  It's great that Marco gets to showcase his talent on different websites, and it all goes back to Marco getting his start at Thunders Arena, where he's still going strong (and even stronger).  Just this week he appeared in a new TA match against a little dude called Flaco (that's Spanish for skinny in case you don't speak the language).  The difference in muscle size between the two wrestlers is noticeable.  Early on Marco comments that this is a great set up for a lift and carry match, and he does not disappoint.  Here are just a few scenes where muscleman Marco has the little guy Flaco up in the air.  One thing I have noticed about Marco in watching his wrestling matches is that while he's confident and assertive, he's not overly cocky and arrogant.  He's pretty low key as he goes about dominating Flaco.  It's almost like you don't mind him beating you up.  Marco seems to take a liking to Flaco, calling the little guy adorable for challenging the much larger beast.  I have to agree with Marco on this.  Flaco does look pretty adorable as he's nothing more than a play thing in the hands of a muscleboy like Marco.

Marco for Hire

I have mentioned before that Cameron Mathews has started his own online wrestling production called Wrestler 4 Hire.  After taking some time to get up and running, W4H is now putting out a decent amount of matches featuring some pretty respectable talent and entertaining action.  I just came across an AWESOME match featuring our good friend Marco (known as Marco Thunder at W4H) facing Nick Sparx in a "Bro Battle."  The match takes place in a pro-style ring, which I think opens up more possibilities for wrestling action as compared to just mat wrestling (which, don't get me wrong, has a lot of merit to it, too).  We saw in my last post how Eagle at Thunders Arena showed the advantages of ring wrestling, and we see the same thing with Marco here at W4H.  In his match against Nick Sparx, Marco is total Alpha, which is how I like my wrestlers.  He also proves that he's very skilled at the sport, not just in pro-style wrestling, but also in submission and amateur.  Marco is wrestler through and through.  And obviously he loves the sport, taking advantage now of wrestling for multiple companies.  The more Marco, the better for all of us.

But I do have one complaint about this match.  We don't really get a good show of Marco flexing those big biceps of his.  You're a certified muscleboy, Marco!  What are you waiting for?  But I guess Marco knows there is more than one way to enjoy being a muscleboy:

Shoulder Day

Today was shoulder day at the gym, so I got to work with my new instructional weight lifting video from Thunders Arena.  Now I'm sore as fuck but can't complain about the results I'm seeing.  I'm getting swoll, dudes.

Random Racks

Sometimes I think about changing the title of my blog to "Bodyslam and Torture Rack Fan", but since the current name has such strong brand recognition, it's probably best not to mess with it.  Still, that doesn't mean I can't post awesome pictures of torture racks (since it's my blog, I guess I can post whatever I want).  I like shoulder racks for many of the same reasons I like bodyslams.  It's a great lift and carry move that gives the alpha wrestler the opportunity to show who is in charge.  And it's easier to pick up and carry around your victim in a rack than it is for a bodyslam.  But from a jobber's perspective it can be different.  A bodyslam can be kind of fun at first because you get picked up and carried around before the pain of the slam, but with a torture rack, the punishment comes immediately with being carried around.  And if you want to be a super alpha wrestler, you can make the jobber suffer for as long as you want with a rack.  Several of the pics above come from Thunders Arena because the wrestlers there do a great job with torture racks.  But the move has universal appeal among all wrestlers, so you can see it pretty much anywhere.  It's just an awesome move.

Marco

For the last year Thunders Arena has really been giving one of it's new wrestlers a hard workout.  Marco is a wrestler from Pennsylvania who made his way down to Florida to join the roster at TA.  He's 5' 8" and 180 pounds, and from the video clips and pictures I've seen, he knows how to handle himself on a wrestling mat.  Marco is looking pretty studly in that third picture as he presses Bolt overhead.  Be sure to check out all his matches at the Thunders Arena's website.

Bolt

I spent my last post gushing all over Dozer, but I failed to point out the little guy he's pressing overhead in the last picture.  If you've been to the Thunders Arena website lately, you will recognize him as Bolt, a new wrestler who's 5' 7" and 150 pounds.  I guess until he can make a name for himself, Bolt will have to be the chew toy for some of the more experienced wrestlers at TA.  It looks like Dozer, Archer, and Marco already are making the most out of their new found play thing.
