The preview of BG East’s newest catalogue (available through their Arena membership service) doesn’t include any new matches featuring Mitch Colby, sadly. I’m looking forward to seeing more of some of the recent additions to their stable of talent, though, including Kid Karisma and Rio Garza.

I’ve received a couple of messages from folks mentioning that they’re with me in appreciating Mitch. I recently enjoyed a viewing of Mitch’s older match against Bobby Horton in BG East’s Backyard Brawls 5. The Patrick Donovan/Alexi Adamov match earlier on this DVD is more satisfying for sweaty, close-up muscle pounding. Mitch’s match takes place, for the most part, in a pool, so the camera angles are from a little bit of a distance, you can only see what’s above water, and delectable sweat is washed away. Horton plays a nice smart-ass punk in need of a beating, and Mitch, God-bless him, gives even better than he takes. I like the story line including Bobby’s reluctant concession that Mitch is “the man,” though the match ends without anyone really feeling the love. No nudity, moderate sadism (including Mitch bound to a tree and gut-punched), and a nice opening scene of Mitch oiling himself up with sunscreen.

Speaking of binding Mitch, for those keeping track of such things, Mitch did a hardcore bottom role for Showguys.com with Manuel Torres. The Kink.com network also produced Mitch getting tortured by boyfaced Dak Ramsey on BoundGods.com. Too many accessories for my taste (where do you find wooden clothespins these days?), but I’m sure it’s right up a lot of guys’ alleys (so to speak).

I’m happy to share Mitch across genres, and I’m happy for him to have plenty of work to keep him busy these days. But as for me, I’m rooting to see more of Mitch wrestling, suffering, dominating, and then claiming his hard-earned prize.
