In their description of this recent match, the Muscleboy Wrestling website promises lots of classic pro wrestling by Zach Ramos and Tripp Evans. The captions beside my animations are copied directly from the promo page for this video. I swear they may be speaking directly to me when they promise to please their "most avid fans of old school pro." Thanks boys, I am pleased!

It pleases me to know that Muscleboy (and most of the other Underground wrestling producers) continue to pander to my demographic: wrestling fans of a certain age who still love this fake old pro style shit and want to see lots more of it, so they go out of their way to include some classic rasslin videos among their products.

And it pleases me that they take the gaity up a notch by utilizing attractive models in skimpy, bulge-enhancing trunks as the performers of the good old classic rasslin moves. Yet they still capture the essence of vintage pro wrestling: the look of the gear and accessories (e.g., wrist tape, bicep straps), the iconic holds of yesteryear, the exaggerated suffering and selling (such agony!), the muscular physiques, the strutting and posing, the campy flamboyance -- it checks all the boxes for a fan who grew up enjoying the apparently devastating impact of Big Elbow Drops just like these...

The mainstream televised wrestling promotions transitioned away from this antiquated format long ago, now giving their fans a faster performance with less body contact, less selling, and less homo-eroticism. So I definitely appreciate Underground producers for recognizing the continued demand for classic pro style action and for filling the demand by giving us plenty of what we crave.
