Hail to the Muscle Gods!

Who's ready for another post dedicated to the over-the-knee backbreaker?  I could probably do about fifty posts on this wrestling move, but I'll just stop at two for now.  I drew upon the image of a "muscle god" in my last post to refer to a wrestler who likes to sacrifice his opponent over the knee.  As I look over these two posts, I realize there are so many muscle gods in wrestling.  It's such a popular move that you see it in all the underground wrestling companies I like to follow.  On this page alone we got Rock Hard Wrestling, Muscleboy Wrestling, Wrestler4Hire, 88 Wrestling, Thunders Arena, and NRW Wrestling.  The new Weekend Wrestling absolutely loves the OTK backbreaker, and at Untamed Creations (which I just started following recently), those boys are breaking backs all over the place!

And looking at these photos I see so many of my favorite wrestlers doing the move.  I have to say that Scrappy is one of the best at breaking backs, but guys like Tanner Hill (aka Cena), Dante, and Cody Nelson always impress when they do it, too.  And I love the first pic in this post where Jake Jenkins plays muscle god by breaking Austin Cooper's back.  Cooper is no slouch himself in the world of wrestling, but it just goes to show that even muscleboys can find themselves sacrificed to muscle gods.

Sacrificed to the Muscle God

Whenever I hear or read the words "over the knee", my pulse quickens.  The OTK backbreaker is one of the hottest wrestling moves of all times, especially when performed by a muscular heel.  He scoops you up high into the air and carries you around.  You prepare yourself for a bodyslam, thinking at least it will be over quickly.  But no!  The heel drops you down and cracks your back over his knee.  Fuck!  You cry out in pain from the impact, but it's not over.  The pain ratches up as the hardbody hunk bends your back over his knee, bending it in a way nature never intended.  Through gritted teeth, you moan loudly, but there's nothing you can do but endure the agony.  You're nothing but the muscleboy's bitch as long as he decides to hold you there.

The move is especially effective when the heel continues to hold the victim with his arm through the crotch, like Scrappy does above.  It's bad enough to have your body helplessly splayed out over the knee, but feeling the heel's arm between your legs and his hand grabbing your butt just increases the humiliation tenfold.  Plus, you're worried he's going to pick you up again, then drop you down over the knee for another backbreaker.  If he's a really bad-ass muscleboy, that's exactly what he does.

In the end, you are completely at the heel's mercy.  Your body is laid out as if across an altar, offered up as a human sacrifice to the muscle god who put you there.  You lose the will to fight, so you finally submit.  That's why the over the knee backbreaker is one of my favorite wrestling submission holds.

Sacrificing another jobber to the muscle god!

Show Me What You Got

Here is our young, intrepid hero Peter (who I like to call Peter the Great) appearing in another wrestling match.  His opponent this time is a dude named Ronan, who looks to be a little bit older and more mature than Peter.  But Peter has the advantage in size and muscle, and after all, that means a lot in wrestling, right?  Peter establishes his dominance at the start by beating Ronan in arm wrestling.  Ronan, however, is undeterred, so he tells the bigger guy it's time to wrestle.  And Ronan issues a challenge to Peter.  "Show me what you got!"  Well, Peter really shows it . . .

This is another wrestling match where I had a difficult time deciding what to feature because there is so much to choose from.  It may even deserve a second post in my blog at some point.  Both wrestlers get a good amount of time in control, but I like to think Peter is just toying with his opponent whenever Ronan is playing top dog.  When Peter eventually has enough of it, he easily over powers Ronan to take back control.  And when Peter is in charge, he's either hoisting Ronan into the air and carrying him around, or he's grinding the smaller wrestler into the mat with various submission holds.  In the process, Peter shows us a lot of big boy moves, including the biggest big boy move of them all -- the gorilla press.  But Ronan can't complain, of course.  After all, he demanded that Peter show him, and our young hero responds.  I really look forward to checking out more of Peter's matches.  The big guy does not disappoint!

Peter shows us what he's got . . . and it's Ronan!

Peter the Great

I've been looking for different wrestlers and fresh faces to feature in my blog, so I'm glad I came across this match called Who da Man!  The wrestlers are Peter (in the white trunks) and Grady (in blue).  Both wrestlers are strong and capable, but as is often the case when watching a match, I take a particular liking to one of them.  In this match, it's Peter.  I think he gives a great performance.

The video begins with poor Peter hanging out, just minding his own business, when Grady charges in and attacks.  Peter takes his lumps at first, but he's a big boy and strong as fuck.  Grady doesn't stay in control for long.  I probably could have posted fifty pics of Peter alone from this match, but I'll just leave you with some of the lift and carry images.  Grady is no scrawny dude himslf, so it's amazing how easily Peter hoists him up at times for awesome moves like torture racks, an over the knee backbreaker, bearhugs . . . Peter even bench presses Grady!  This match is not a squash, and the action does go back and forth.  There are plenty of good, long held submission holds from both fighters to see, too.  All in all, I had fun watching this match, and I'm glad I discovered some new wrestlers to follow.

Torturing Grady with multiple backbreakers, Peter proves he's the man!
