Boys From the Golden Age

Our fan favorite Vinny Trevino is back in another video from BG East.  This time we find our Italian stallion hanging out with BG East uber stud Justin Pierce.  The two agree that Justin has better wrestling technique while Vinny is the brawler.  Having both been beaten down by Mikey Vee, they decide they can improve their skills in the ring if they cross train each other.  Sounds simple enough, but as the two practice, Justin finds himself getting a little carried away.  In demonstrating some of his wrestling moves and holds, Justin gets Vinny into a submission, keeping it longer than necessary.  Then after the two don gloves for Vinny's tutorial on boxing, an overly eager Justin gets in some cheap shots on Vinny while the Italian has his back turned, and then he needlessly takes Vinny down with a drop toe hold.  As the video progresses, Vinny is like a simmering pot, becoming increasingly annoyed with Justin.  And, as expected, Vinny finally reaches his boiling point and blows.  Our Italian stud launches in on Justin with a flurry of punches and finally lays Justin out flat for the ten count.

It's not until after Vinny flattens Justin that the wrestling match begins, which is thirty minutes into the video.  By now having punched Justin's lights out, Vinny is determined to prove he's a two sport star as he proceeds to demolish Justin with several high powered wrestling moves.  And in the end as you can see below, Justin finds himself once more laid out on the mat, thoroughly defeated, a loser in both boxing and wrestling at the hands of Vinny Trevino.

One thing that strikes me while watching this video is the quality of talent BG East had available at the time it produced this match back around 2003.  Both Vinny Trevino and Justin Pierce are spectacular, but the quality doesn't end with just these two studs.  Around that time, BG East had an amazing stable of wrestlers on its roster, including guys like Rio Garza, Mikey Vee, Mike Columbo, Blaze, a young Braden Charron, Jed Jamison, Brad Rochelle, and on and on and on.  It truly was the Golden Age for wrestling at BG East.

 Don't quit your day job, Justin!

No Respect

My last post with the flashback on Mr Destiny got me thinking about other wrestlers and wrestling matches from the past.  And that got me thinking about Vinny Trevino, a wrestler at BG East many years ago who captured my attention around the time I began my exciting journey into this mysterious world of underground wrestling.  I remember liking Vinny from the start for many reasons, one being his name.  Back in high school there was this one wrestler on another team named Vinny who caught my attention one season.  A swarthy Italian, he clearly stood out from the rest of us corn fed Midwestern white boys.  I always wanted to wrestle him, but we were different weight classes, so it never happened. 

I also liked Vinny Trevino from the start because of his looks.  With his dark hair, olive complexion, masculine features, and incredible physique, he was the epitome of health and fitness.  Make him a wrestler on top of all that, and Vinny Trevino is hard to beat.

Vinny Trevino only wrestled in about seven or so matches at BG East.  Not enough for my taste, of course, but enough to create a body of work that we can appreciate.  Here is Vinny in a match against Brandon Aldrich called Clobber the Jobber.  Whenever there is a jobber, there also has to be a heel, and Vinny shines in this match as the heel.  Like I said not long ago about Iván Guerrero, I like my heels to be good looking, hunky wrestlers.  And that's what we get in Vinny Trevino.  But there's also another ingredient for a great heel, and that's a cocky attitude.  Vinny exudes cockiness in this match, and he does so by showing absolutely no respect for Brandon.  At the start, our jobber boy shows a little attitude himself, but after losing a test of strength to Vinny in the first minute, Brandon is reduced to a sniveling, whining bitch, which is the role Vinny forces him to play for the rest of the match.  No respect!  Early in the match, Vinny lays his muscular body across Brandon's pale, lumpy torso and begins to count off the pin.  But after two, Vinny grabs Brandon by the hair and pulls his shoulders off the mat.  The heel says not yet!  He's got to earn his pay and make the match entertaining.  No respect!  Vinny scoops Brandon up high with a crotchlift, getting a big handful of the jobber's shorts, baring his ass, before delivering a massive bodyslam.  No respect!  Vinny humiliates Brandon by parading him around the ring with the groaning jobber in a sick torture rack.  No respect!  Vinny constantly stands over the blubbering Brandon, flexing his muscles, showing off his physique, barking orders at him.  No respect!  Vinny forces Brandon to participate in a boxing match with real gloves, only so Vinny can pound his abs into oblivion.  No respect!  Vinny pours ice water down Brandon's trunks.  No respect!  Vinny manhandles Brandon with repeated gutbusters while the jobber cries for mercy.  No respect!

And the final indignity comes with Vinny sitting on Brandon's chest, holding him down in a schoolboy pin and flexing his big biceps like the muscleboy he is.  The defeated jobber boy is forced to look on in admiration.  No fucking respect!!!  Boys, if you want a lesson in how to be a heel, then watch this match.
