Nebraska 1964

These under 21s heavyweight champs from their regions, faced off at an outdoor pro wrestling event. Despite being the 1st match on that days card, there was a lot of anticipation for it. Not necessarily from the audience, but from the older, more experienced Pro's, who'd heard stories about both these big corn fed country boys' pro wrestling ability.

Owen (19, top image pictured with his uncle/trainer) and Caleb (18, bottom image) have been itching at the chance to wrestle for a while now. They both come from a long line of pro wrestlers, and have been wrestling since they were small kids. Both are known for their ruthlessness in the ring, which surprises people as they're so young.

As expected, their match was incredible. They absolutely went to town on each other, in and out of the ring, with Caleb bloodying Owens forehead after repeatedly smashing it into the barriers outside the ring, and Owen getting his revenge with multiple standing knee drops onto Caleb's head, opening a deep cut over his left eye.

The winner was declared around the 45min mark (the original time limit was set for 30 mins, but the older pros watching insisted that they were allowed to keep wrestling), after one wrester got a submission from his opponent with a brutal figure 4 ankle lock.

Worldwide. 1980s. Part 3

As more and more people bought televisions in the 60s, the more opportunities they had to watch some pro wrestling action in the privacy of their own homes. Often married men, they'd do anything to get their wives out of the house for a few hours while the wrestling was on. Giving them money to go to the hairdressers etc. Neighbours who were friends would convince their wives to go to the mall together. "Take your time ladies, we're just gonna watch the game and have a few beers"

Neighbours, work colleagues, friends from church... These men, sometimes in groups, once the coast was clear, would put on the wrestling gear they'd bought from the local sports shops (usually singlets) or mail order from ads in the back of wrestling magazines, and watch some rasslin. They might sit together, beer in one hand, cock in the other, watching. Maybe suck each other off a bit. They would be so insanely horny from watching the wrestling on tv that they would then wrestle each other, copying the moves they'd just watched. Basements and living rooms all around the world, when wrestling was broadcast, would have grown men wrestling each other. And often fucking each other too. They would have to hide all the cuts and bruises from their wives.

All week these men would obsess over the next time they could do it all again.

Sometimes disputes were settled in the ring, behind closed doors. Obviously, no one wanted to lose and get fucked in the ass by their rival, so these matches could last hours, often ending in a KO

The audience weren't happy with the result, but both teams took the fight back to their private rooms. It wasn't long before the singlets were off and just the pro boots left on. You can imagine what came next, until 6am.

MASTERS MUD WRESTLING

Back to some rough Grandpa rasslin.

After the war, when Grandpa pro wrestling was beginning it's slow decline, these older geezers would often be pitted against each other in Mud wrestling matches, usually at State fairs.

Normal Pro Wrestling rules still applied. And boy these wrestlers really beat the shit out of each other. They were such great professional wrestlers. Men of 1000 holds. Brutal.

During and for some time after the War, Grandpa Pro wrestling became popular. While the young men left to fight, it was the older men, mostly ex pro wrestlers, who came out of retirement to keep the sport alive.

While some people initially saw it as a novelty, they soon realised that these old geezers where tough as nails, and still very physically fit.

The Grandpas relished the chance to get back in the ring, and the spotlight. And were also able to settle some old scores.

Often these matches were incredible displays of skill and outright brutality. They loved to dish out some punishment.

Sydney 1985

New South Wales regional Tag Team title match.

The Outback Outlaws dominated their opponents The Sullivans for the majority of this match. The Outlaws knew the Sullivans were the better technical wrestlers, so they went in hard and VICIOUS early in the match, weakening their men and keeping them separated as much as they could and using their height and weight advantage to great effect.

The boos and jeers from the crowd just made them go even harder on their opponents, pulling them up by the hair before the 3 count on multiple occasions, enraging the audience even more.

The Sullivans were eventually put out of their misery when the bell rang around the 45 minute mark, after the ref stopped the match.

The Outlaws were declared the winners, keeping their belts.

Will they manage to hold on to them when they go up against The Kelly Brothers (Below) next week? A Heel vs Heel tag team dream come true.

Rome 1980

Pro Tag Team Mario Atlas and Giuseppe Costa (top image pictured backstage) are very happy with the result of their match against The Moretti Brothers (bottom image pictured in the locker room), were they scored a definitive victory over their rivals, in an electrifying pro fight. They're on their way for a title shot at the regional tag belt.

Pros in private Part 2

These 'discerning' groups of pro wrestling fans, known as 'Sponsors' organise their own underground pro wrestling events, often pitting younger wrestlers against each other. They decide the match rules. The wrestlers need the money. The sponsors often bet on their favourites. They want brutality. They want blood and suffering. They want long held punishing submission holds. They want KOs. They want to see the loser get fucked.

Pride Pro wrestling 2024

Pride Pro wrestling holds it's championships each year during Pride month, and the heavyweight tag belt is now up for grabs.

(Top Image) Tony T (left, 49) and Big Darryl (Right, 36) have defeated and fucked the other tag challenger couples each week (middle images), but now they've reached the final Boss level, the five year reigning title holders 'Bear Squad', married couple Mitch and Hunter (both 45) have a height and significant weight advantage, as well as more pro experience. They're not about to give up their belts easily, and plan to absolutely demolish the rival team, to teach them a lesson and give the bloodthirsty fans a real cum worthy show. Ringside seats for this bout were extremely expensive, as everyone wants to be close to the action, as well as the post match in ring domination fuck fest that will follow.

But will the Bears keep their belts, or will the hot challengers be victorious?

Either way, this is going to be one hell of a brutal, bloody battle.

Result - Draw. An incredible, brutal but technical showcase, but neither team could get two submissions in the 45 minute time limit.

Result - Army win. The AF team were faster and more skilled, but eventually they were worn down and weakened by the Army grunts power moves, particularly their devastating bear hugs and torture racks.

IRAN vs FRANCE - Berlin 2019

Heavyweight Tag match.

Talk about a bloodbath. This incredible tag match, during heats held in the German capital, was definitely one of the highlights of Championship season. These evenly matched teams faced off for a place in the semi finals, hoping to get a title shot for the world heavyweight belts, held by the Italian team (below) for the past two years.

The fight was intense from the opening bell, with both teams trading devastating power moves and punishing submission holds throughout. Heads were smashed into turnbuckles, men were trapped in the ropes and punished, bodies hit the canvas with incredible force, and there was one incredibly brutal long held surfboard, which gained a submission - and a huge cheer from the audience. All four men were exhausted, battered, bruised and bloody by the time the final winning submission was won, around the 52 minute mark.

The moment before......

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, a new market opened up for private pro matches, especially filmed private matches.

The economy had also collapsed and people needed money, fast. Russian Pro wrestlers could make some (not so) easy money by taking part in these matches, however the decent money came from appearing in matches 'sponsored' by international 'collectors', who found they could easily get more niche videos made, that were difficult to get made in the west.

Western sponsors could basically let their imaginations run wild, and would request incredibly violent, long matches, focussing on particular moves and holds. Some liked seeing younger pros wrestle, others wanted older daddy types, specific gear types, two vs one fights etc. Violent tag fights and chain matches seemed to be very popular. Appearing in a sex fight video could see you earning a years wages for just one shoot. Seeing some macho Russian stud defeated in the ring then getting fucked in the mouth and ass (and not enjoying it) was a huge turn on for some sponsors. Some of the more popular wrestlers would receive gifts from their foreign 'fans'. The further the wrestlers went in the ring, the more popular they became.
