My friend AR and I have spent a ton of time over the past year and a half exploring homoerotic wrestling fantasies in graphic and written form. AR is pathologically unassuming and humble, but he gets 100% of the credit for getting me back to enjoying writing homoerotic wrestling fiction. After publishing original stories for several years over a decade ago, I took a break from it and just never got back to it until AR invited me to work on projects together. The solitary nature of writing, and only inconsistently getting feedback that anyone was reading it (much less enjoying it) wasn’t reinforcing enough to keep my head in it. But with AR’s enthusiasm for it and the immediate reinforcement from our joint writing sessions, I’m enjoying the writing process more than ever before.

Pretty early on in our writing collaboration, we crafted an original character named Will Strong that we keep coming back to, again and again. Will is a hot, young muscle jock who, while on vacation in South Florida, finds himself recruited to audition for BG East. He’s naturally athletic, with a hot bod (of course) and a naive, earnest ambition to live out a pro wrestling dream he’s secretly nurtured since watching mainstream pro on TV as a kid (how many of us can identify with that?!). The first thing AR and I wrote about Will was a tag team match he wrestled with a certain homoerotic wrestling blogger, living out his homoerotic wrestling dream he’s secretly nurtured since watching BG East wrestling as a young adult (see the parallels?… we’re subtle). But we keep circling back to track Will Strong’s journey as a BG East rookie, in part because he’s hot and sexy and sensationally provocative heel bait. But he also has become a device to explore the behind-the-scenes as well as on-camera drama we enjoy imagining fueling the feuds and fires that both AR and I have long found so entertaining in BG East’s catalog. The more we write Will, the more 3D he and our BG East fantasyverse become, and it’s turning me on and tuning me into so much of what this entire blog is about.

So, I’ve started an anthology collection of the Will Strong journey that AR and I have been writing, that we’re eager to share with you. After that initial tag team match we wrote, we actually wrote a couple of prequels to explore Will’s origin story. I posted the first piece of the collection, “Discovering Will,” several months ago. We now have, no shit, more than a dozen more complete stories tracing Will’s footsteps deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole as a BG East fantasyverse rookie, caught up in the Boss’ diabolical schemes and squarely stuck in the sights of hungry heels who want a piece of what Will brings to the homoerotic wrestling ring.

In this first installment of Wednesday’s with Will here on the blog, I invite you to take a look at “Discovering Will,” the very beginning of Will’s journey. The plan is to start posting subsequent stories each week, in chronological order of Will’s path through the looking glass, to share with fans of homoerotic wrestling fiction what AR and I have been up to. And as an added bonus, you get to check out the dizzying, hot, intensely sexy 3D artwork AR produces to illustrate each title.

Check out the excerpt below from Will’s BG East audition, facing ripped bodybuilder beauty Jesse Suave. They’re both getting their strings pulled by the Boss, KL, all in pursuit of the hottest homoerotic wrestling combat that fans want to see. Read the full story of “Discovering Will” here, and check out the anthology page in the coming weeks, as we track Will Strong’s descent into increasingly brutal stakes and his totally unexpected erotic self-discovery:

With a proud grin, Will let go and backed up, letting his opponent out of the corner. Furiously, Jesse lunged forward and landed a cracking slap across the stunned rookie’s face. Completely out of reflex, Will pulled back and pounded the palm of his hand across the chiseled left cheek of his opponent in retribution.

The violent slap spun Jesse around, dazed and clutching his throbbing face. Before he realized what was happening, he felt the Canadian’s strong arms shoved underneath his armpits. Will’s fingers laced together at the back of Jesse’s head as he locked down a full nelson, just like the muscle pros he cheered for on TV.

Jesse gasped at the power pressing his head forward and yanking his shoulders out of joint. His chiseled chin dug into his chest, as Will leaned back and lifted him dancing on his toes. An involuntary whimper slipped from the back of his throat, tears stinging his eyes.

“Am I doing this right,” Will asked with a smirk. “Is this the way this works?” He flexed hard and shook the straining hunk in his arms. Hot sweat made their bodies slide across one another, as Jesse squirmed against his restraints.

The Boss laughed loudly. “Trust me, kid, you’re doing great. Keep it up!”

The proud grin on Will’s face started to disappear when the stunningly strong fitness model in his arms began to flex, pressing his arms downward. He tried to double down on the full nelson, desperately digging his fingertips into the back of Jesse’s head. But the steady, powerful flex of the muscle hunk in his arms, accompanied by the feral growl snarling deep in Jesse’s chest, began to pry Will’s fingers apart. 

Sweat continued to make their flexing muscles slick. With a sudden grunt, Jesse pumped his arms and pecs still harder, suddenly popping apart Will’s hands. With another snarling flex, Jesse shoved his arms down, making Will’s eyes grow wide with surprise at his shocking show of power.

Smoothly, Jesse reached over his shoulder with his right hand and grabbed hold of the back of his opponent’s head. Dropping to one knee, he pulled Will forward, flipping the rookie head-over-heels. Will bounced hard on his tailbone as he came to rest on his ass. Jesse’s right knee immediately pressed painfully into his spine, as the Canadian’s chin was held tightly in his opponent’s hands. An involuntary gasp of pain escaped from his gaping mouth as Jesse yanked backward on the chinlock, brutally bending his backbone across his knee and applying dizzying pressure on Will’s straining neck.
