Guess Again!

I've been a cheeky little monkey of late on apps! As a gay man, of course, I have a couple of apps on my phone that I use to connect with my local community. Of course, we're talking about apps like Grindr, Scruff, Hornet, etc. Needless to say, I don't need to inform you guys about what these apps are for ;) Unfortunately, there are no such sure-fire apps taht exist for us in the wrestling community. Though it is possible to write some lengthy profile to describe one's passion for wrestling with other guys, there are quicker and easier ways to achieve the same result. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. If you've kept up with this blog, you know I'm not one to be short on them! In the app-centered, smartphone-world of today though, instant recognition leads to more attention and better results when seeking something specific...

Now, anyone who know BG and the world of gay wrestling knows that there are a few "Meccas" that exist. One can spot the BG ring in Pembroke from any angle and know without a doubt, where they are looking at. That's a given. I decided to toy around with this idea recently on these apps. Last time I was at BG HQ, I snapped a few quick selfies in the ring while awaiting my match with Chace LaChance. I figured it'd be interesting to see if anyone could spot the locale I was in and put it all together. So I posted my seflie as my new profile pic on these apps with an accompanying tag line "If you recognize exactly where I am, you're ten steps ahead of everyone else!" The responses have been entertaining to say the least!

A good number of guys ignore the text of course, they haplessly write me generic messages or share their unsolicited dick/ass pics. There are those, however, who venture a guess or two about where I am. Now of course since the pic is cropped in a bit, most of what the guys see in thumbnails isn't the full head-to-toe Monaco! Somehow though, I've gotten such guesses as "ballet studio", "your bedroom", "some sort of figurine museum", "yoga studio" and so on... Some guys manage to actually use their eyes and see the ring ropes and venture the guess of "boxing ring" or "boxing/muay thai gym" or something of the like.

Only a handful of men get it right and spot the BG ring in a flash and launch into their passion about wrestling. Those lucky few get a much more animated response from me (in general, I do still have my likes and dislikes after all!) and have managed to spot something I used to only dream about way back before I started at BG: a real, live, BG East wrestler who is willing to chat about what he does ;)

Tag Me In!

Winter is well under way here in Montreal! It's only November and it's pretty chilly! Then again, it seems that all of North America is under the grip of yet another "arctic blast" which is becoming the new norm for us in the winter. With winter comes the cold, flu and other nasty bugs. I was recently ill with a pretty bad case of food poisoning myself (3 days in hospital, lots of nasty symptoms but it finally ended). On the plus side, here in Canada, all my doctors and hospital stay which would set my American friends into a very bad financial spot cost nothing here! Advantages of being in a country with public healthcare...

Being sick and having to deal with entire teams of doctors got me thinking about teams in general and specifically tag teams! Yes tag teams in wrestling are always a huge thing. Why simply watch 2 wrestlers go at it when you could be watching 4? Or 6! Or 8! Tag matches allow wrestling fans to see multiple different pairings of wrestlers within the same match. I've always seen it as multiple one-on-one micro-matches bundled up into one big match.

All this got me thinking about what kind of tag team I could be in one day. Who would make a great partner? Who would I want to take on? Naturally, some names came to mind...

 

An easy choice for me would be my sexy friend Damien Rush. This guy is a stud-supreme in my eyes. The moment we met and had our match at BG, there was an instant kind of chemistry and connection I felt right away. This guy is as muscled as he is sweet (on the outside of the ring at least) and would be a killer companion to take on other foes. He's definitely my number one choice on the list of guys I'd tag with any time!

 

Another very good choice would be my bud "The Mastodon" Morgan Cruise! Also a hairy stud, I could see us taking on some twinky tag team and showing them who's boss. Our combined power and skills would make most little jobber teams fall apart and be easy pickings for the 1-2-3 (with both of us flexing big double bicep poses over them).

 

I've also had a suggested partner from a fan that wasn't on my short list but also sounds like a fun and sexy guy: Darius. Though we've talked on many occasions about having a match, we still have yet to meet. I've recently read that he's got himself a tag partner though, another sexy stud named "Frank". Perhaps they'd make good opponents for me and Damien or Morgan :)

So what do you think my dear readers? Who would YOU see me as a tag team with? Could it even be you? Who would I match up against? Let me know here, on twitter or by e-mail! You never know, could make it a reality some day ;)
