The Top Ten: #4

The countdown continues! We've gone through a bevy of gorgeous men so far with still a few more sexy stars to come! Today I continue the countdown of my most wrestle-able men with a young stud who caught my eye right from the start. The body, the face, the hair, the cherub-like demeanor which lies in contrast to the swarthy hunk's attitude on the mats. He's not the biggest guy on the roster, but what he lacks in size he makes up for in smouldering, seductive swagger. Coming in at number 4 is the sexy Brazilian hunk Gil Barrios!

This guy's curly locks of hair caught my eye immediately. Now most of you don't know this, but I actually have very curly hair myself! Problem is, I can't do anything with it. I've tried, trust me, but it never looks as sexy as it does on this Latino hunk. Naturally, I'm jealous. When I first saw his pics though, I thought he would just be another baby-faced jobber in the ranks of BG East. Little did I know... 

I was surprised when I first caught sight of his match with Skip Vance on Wrestleshack 12 that this guy had some heely attitude to back up those rippling muscles on the mat. Somewhere between him asking little Skip which arm he preferred to be sleepered out with and ordering him to "Kiss it!" while he flexed, this guy got me hooked. Even the sound of his voice, the slight accent, everything about him oozes this sexuality that captivates the audience.

I would talk also about his gorgeous nude body but that speaks for itself.

All this to say, Gil definitely got my attention and has never disappointed in any of his matches I've seen, win or lose. If you haven't seen any of them yet, don't pass up the chance. Go see them now. Tell them Ben Monaco sent you! :P

Coming up next time on the Top Ten, we break into the top 3 studs on my list! The next guy is quite popular on BG and on other sites as well. He's gotten knocked around a fair bit but has also shown he can kick ass and take names! Stay tuned and find out who it is!

On another note, I'll take a little pause here in my talking of the Top Ten countdown to mention an important anniversary for me! Exactly 2 years ago I had my first match EVER! Not my first BG match, no, my first ever match with any guy! Period! So there you go! Happy anniversary to me! And thanks as well to you my dear readers for motivating me in all my matches whether on cam or off :)

**Spoiler Alert! This is a tricky one, my #1 guy I'd wrestle has had many matches at BG East but the two most common colors he wears in his matches are speedos that are either white or yellow in color! Keep your guesses coming :)**

The Top Ten: #5

Today on the Top Ten countdown we arrive at number 5! As I mentioned before, this wrestler had one hell of an explosive debut on the BG East roster. His first released match against the sexy little Mike Columbo had my jaw dropping over and over (mostly dropping because it was primed for licking that body of his). This guy is some sort of mythic Tarzan-like beast who emerged from god-knows-where. Regardless, this guy gets me going in his style of wrestling...I'm talking about the massive, powerful and dominating J-Rock!


When I first caught a glimpse of J-Rock on the site, he looked like some mix of a wild-man and an extra from the Jersey Shore cast. The set-up for his debut was perfect. He went in to face off with Mike Columbo in Gut Bash 3 and was presented as a "rookie" that Mike was supposed to initiate. Of course, the rookie struts in and tears apart the established ring veteran in a very decisive manner.

Now those of you who know me well enough know one very important thing about me in terms of what I like in a man: I love arms! A big flexed gun in my face puts me into a trance of pure ecstasy. J-Rock, in all of his matches, satisfies my desire to see a big hunk dominating his opponent while flexing throughout the match. He alternates between destroying his opponent mercilessly and flexing his huge biceps over and over.

Doesn't matter who he's up against: one guy, two guys, bigger guys, smaller guys...J-Rock clobbers them all in the end and gives his viewers one hell of a show while he picks the boys apart. Hopefully, one day, he might take his turn at pounding my abs and tearing me apart in the BG East ring. *Sigh* one can only hope ;)




Up next at number 4 is a swarthy little stud with a rippled body that you can't help but keep your eyes on. And that accent...*melt* Stay tuned my little readers, stay tuned!

 **Spoiler Alert! As promised, another hint about my  #1: he's wrestled in singles matches, tag-team matches AND even 3-way matches. Got your curiosity peaked? Stay tuned for more hints!**

The Top Ten: #6

Onward with #6 in my countdown of most wrestle-worthy hunks of BG East! So far, we've had notable studs Kieran Dunne, Z-Man, Cameron Matthews and Morgan Cruise make their appearances on my list. Today's stud is a big, muscled slab of beef who might seem like a generic pretty boy at first glance, but when you inspect his matches closely, you see attitude, cockiness, swagger and sexuality that emanate from his being...Coming in at number 6 is the hunky Alexi Adamov!

Sexy Alexi has it all: model good looks, cute smile, body to die for, ring and mats skills...what more could you ask for from your BG East studs? He's a stunning young man that is equally talented in terms of his ability to either job or heel. When suffering in holds, his moans sound sexy, his submissions sound sublime! When he dominates, he's a cool and cocky heel who's as smooth as his sweaty chest after a few minutes on the mat.

The match that really caught my attention when I first examined this stud in greater detail was his match on Backyard Brawls 4 against the skillful Jonny Firestorm. I'm always a fan of contrasts when it comes to wrestling matches. Big vs small, old vs young, buff vs slim...Naturally this match went and got my attention in that respect. The 70lb difference between these two resulted in some incredible holds and stunning visuals. Another product that caught my eye was the video Who's Next? as a whole. Going from match to match, man to man with Alexi as the centerpiece of the video was a brilliant concept and perfectly executed...a definite must-see for Alexi fans!

All in all, Alexi could be pound me to submission or suffering under my control. One way or the other, he definitely would make for an amazing match and I'm sure that any wrestler who has faced him in the past would say the same.

Up next at numéro 5 is a wild, gimmicky looking wrestler, yes...however his debut left such an impact on me in terms of set up, I'd gladly take him on and let him have his way with me :P

**Spoiler Alert! For those of you eager to know who #1 is going to be, I'll give you a hint...let's see if you can figure it out! My #1 wrestler has faced off with 2 of the hunks mentioned so far in the Top Ten! I'll give you another hint on the next Top Ten post! Stay tuned!**

The Top Ten: #7

Continuing the countdown of super-studly hunks I'd take on any day of the week, we're now on my number 7 guy! What's special about this one is that I've actually already fought him before. He's exceptional in that way: he was so much fun to wrestle that he makes my top 10 of guys I'd wrestle given the chance. In his case, he's a guy I'd wrestle again. You all know his name and he needs no introduction. In fact, if you don't know his name, I'm fairly certain he'll beat it into you. I'm talking about the Mastodon himself, Morgan Cruise!

I remember a few years back, I was looking around on YouTube and fell upon a few random flexing videos. Among them was a clean looking, long-and-straight-haired Morgan Cruise flexing his mighty biceps and chest set to the song "Rasputin" by Boney M. Though the song choice was not fantastic, this little stud caught my eye right away. Something about that little snicker in his smile...Of course, upon further investigation I noticed he had an interest in wrestling. I thought, "maybe one day he'll do BG East!" As if the universe heard my inner-most desire in that moment, it happened. I spotted him on the site in his debut against Lon Dumont not long after that.

When I finally made my own venture into the BG East world, he and I ended up sharing a room in Florida for 4 days. In the ring, he's a beast; out of the ring, a total sweetheart. His bright eyes and glowing smile can make anybody melt. He's tons of fun to hang out with and has had a pretty incredible life for such a young guy. I'll always have fond memories of throwing down with him on the mats after a bottle of wine at 1:30am while Sebastian Rios snaps some pics of us on his cell.

I could mention so many of his matches in terms of memorability...One that actually impressed me a great deal was his bout with Eli Black. The whole match is almost one continuous take which speaks volumes in regards to their collective talent. And trust me, that mouth of his just keeps on running throughout his matches, even in private!


Next up at number 6 is an incredibly sexy hunk who's rippled physique you can't take your eyes off of. Boy-next-door charm oozes from him and will have you drooling for more ;)

**WARNING!!! NEW MATCH RELEASE IMMINENT!!!**

Just a quick break from usual posts to give you all the update that a new match of mine is coming out! Won't spoil the surprise and tell you who it's against, but be sure to check out bgeast.com for the match when it's released! The Boss himself told me it's a hot one guys so watch out! Turn up the AC and get ready to watch ;)

The Top Ten: #8

The countdown of my most grapple-able (it that even a word?) hunks from the BG East ranks continues! To recap thus far, at number 10 was the stud-puppy Kieran Dunne and number 9 was the mouthy but gorgeous Z-Man. Today at number 8 is one handsome guy that, in my books, looks as good getting a beat down as he does when he's owning his foes (which isn't all that often mind you). Coming in at number 8 is fan-favorite Cameron Matthews!

Cameron has evolved a lot as a wrestler since his humble beginnings with BG East. Hell, even physically he's buffed up in crazy ways! My jaw dropped a while back when I suddenly saw Cammy with big, mouth-watering muscles appear on my computer screen. He's gone from slinky-twinky to buff-stuff and I can say officially Ben Monaco approves! 

I had the privilege of crossing paths with Cameron while we were at BG East headquarters last September. Sadly, I didn't get to have a match with him during his short visit BUT I was able to participate in a special match concept that may or may not ever be released on BG East featuring Mr. Matthews. Without giving too much away, let's just say that I had a sweaty Cameron flailing about on my half-naked body. You'll have to keep your eyes open for that one if/when it's released BG fans :P

I could list the many, many memorable matches Cameron has had over the years. There are far too many to keep track of. He's a skilled ring and mat veteran who impresses me each and every time I see him work or get worked over. Speaking from personal experience, he's also a gentleman! He gave me a lift back up to Boston from the BG homestead to catch my bus home to Montreal. There was even a funny moment where him, Gabriel Ross and I were singing along to Total Eclipse of the Heart. Very Random!
You can check Cameron's BG matches out here and his personal website full of lots of great stuff here.

Next up at number 7 is a hairy little hunk who can beat me down any day of the week if he so chooses! Stay tuned!

Also, keep in touch with me! Let me know what you think so far of the Top 10 in the comments section of each entry! Who's in YOUR top 10???

The Top Ten: #9

Continuing my series on my top ten favorite boys that I would take on/take down from BG East, We come to my number 9 guy!

This guy had my attention from day 1 when I first spotted him on Thunder's Arena. Though I wasn't a fan of the endless chatter he does in their vids, his physique certainly reaches through the lens of the camera and demands attention! It was only natural for him to make a transition towards the big leagues of BG... I'm speaking of course of the one, the only...Z-Man!

This little stud-puppy has been in the business for a good little bit now. Model physique, cocky, arrogant in the ring...he just begs to be squashed by nasty heels! What's more, to get beat up by him only adds to the humiliation factor if you do get your ass kicked. That's really what makes any of his matches a win-win for the viewer. Either you get a pretty-boy-bashing of him as a jobber or a cocky-attitude-preppy-boy-destroys-opponent kind of match with him heeling. Now I don't know about you dear readers, but either of these scenarios works well for me ;) Add to that the fact that he's actually got some good technical know-how behind those muscles and you can see why he makes my top 10.

More than just a model, I heard from an acquaintance from my last taping at BG that he's a really nice guy too and is constantly looking to better his wrestling skills. Z-Man (aka Zack Jonathan) has many memorable matches from his varied career in the Indy-Gay-Wrestling scene, but one that caught my eye most recently was his mat scrap with Patrick Donovan in Sunshine Shooters 4


This match was packed with many subs, excellent technique by both wrestlers and a ton of eye-popping angles that really get you up-close and in the action with the guys on the mat. And with Mr. Donovan in the match, it's like a feast of pumped-up pecs for chest lovers! There's one particular moment where Z-man has his arms trapped behind his back and Patrick just starts chopping on his chest over and over...grrrr! Love it!

 

 All in all, I think Z-Man deserves his place on the list and I'm certain that him and I will cross paths on the mats at BG some day in the near future. We have to. I demand it! LOL!

Stay tuned because up next at number 8 will be a long-time fan favorite! He's cute, he's cuddly and he's a really sweet guy! He even gave me a lift when I was in Boston!
