Pretty Boys

Here are some scenes from a custom wrestling match at Spotland Scrappers called Bridge 2 Far.  This is another "slam and bridge" themed match, like the one I posted about a few weeks ago called Building Bridges, which featured Sam Smiler and LJ Silva.  The stars of today's match here are smaller guys Sammy Scrapper and Franky Dare.  I think compared to the beefier Sam Smiler and LJ Silva, Sammy and Franky here fall into the category of "pretty boys" at Spotland Scrappers.  Sure, they aren't like the faces we get to see wrestling at places like Muscleboy Wrestling or Wrestler4Hire.  But in the world of British style pro-wrestling, which brings to my mind images of pasty, flabby, and toothless skin-headed dudes, Sammy and Franky easily qualify as pretty boys.  And Sammy shows that you can be both a pretty boy and a heel as he dominates Franky for most of this match.  This is another good production by Spotland Scrappers for those of us who like lift and carry wrestling.

Building Bridges

It's no secret I love a good bodyslam.  I also like when the slam is over, the wrestler who gets thrown to the mat bridges and arches his back in pain from the impact.  It's that little extra thing that makes a good bodyslam even better, kind of like the cherry on top.  And when you bodyslam a guy, you know you've executed a good one when you look down and see him writhing and groaning on the mat like that.  To be honest, it's kinda hot.  I guess I'm not the only one who appreciates this.  Spotland Scrappers out of the UK has produced a custom video (requested by a fan) with a "slam and bridge" theme called Building Bridges.  The starring wrestlers are Sam Smiler (in the yellow trunks) and LJ Silva.  As advertized, it features a ton of bodyslams, but the wrestlers dish out other forms of slams and back punishment, so if you're a fan of lift and carry wrestling, this is a fun match to watch.  Although there are good moves by both wrestlers, my post highlights Sam Smiler in action.  I've been watching Spotland Scrappers off and on for several years now, and Sam is one of my favorite wrestlers on their roster.

Now, if you don't mind me going off on a slight tangent here, as I was preparing this post, I realized that Sam Smiler kind of looks like Tim Tebow in these pictures.  To be clear, I am not a fan at all of Tim Tebow.  He was an overrated quarterback, especially when he arrived at the NFL, and all the hype about him was an undeserved media creation.  But the thought of Tim Tebow in a wrestling ring, scooping up another wrestler, carrying him around, then bodyslamming his ass . . . well, I don't really know how else to say this, but that's kinda . . . hot.

Is this what it feels like to be bodyslammed by Tim Tebow?!

Season's Beatings

So this picture doesn't exactly go with the theme of my blog, but it goes with the theme of the holiday season.  It comes from a match at Spotland Scrappers where two elves get their revenge on Santa after he gives them an empty box of chocolates.  If Santa isn't good to you this year, then you may get some satisfaction in watching the video.  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Spotland Scrappers

On occasion when surfing the internet trying to find things to blog about, I come across Spotland Scappers, which is an English wrestling production.  I've never paid too much attention to them before, but recently I started checking out what they have to offer.  It's not fancy, but they make a lot of entertaining videos for download, including pro style matches, matroom wrestling, and custom matches.  One custom match I came across features the two wrestlers you see here, Sammy Scrapper in the red shorts against Sam Smiler.  It's advertised as a lift and carry video, so of course I had to check it out.  Our boy in red Sammy mostly plays the heel, but I hope to find a match where Sam Smiler takes on that role.  Overall it's a fun match to watch and makes me want to check out more of Spotland Scrappers.  I have to say of the four pics I posted here, the top one is my favorite.  When you want to prove that you are a dominant alpha wrestler, that's how you need to lift and carry a dude around.  It makes an impression on your opponent.  I wish more wrestlers would do this.
