I Need A Hero

For those who may be growing a little tired of the Olympic Spirit series of homoerotic wrestling fiction around here, I’ve just posted a refreshing break from Olympic athlete fiction at Sidelineland. Alex has a new chapter in The Cave series, entitled “Meet the (sigh) Pink Punk.”  Alex has been an awesome contributor to the quickly growing collection of homoerotic wrestling fiction at Sidelineland. His Cave series, I now think, should have been filed under the superhero tab, because despite it being about the “performance” of gay themed/superhero themed wrestling, I’m more and more convinced that Alex is tapping quite directly into the melodrama and action that are at the heart of superhero comics themselves.

How far has The Bat fallen!?

And damn it all if he doesn’t find the hottest wrestlers to don a mask and appear on the PPV internet channel, The Cave! I’m still mulling how to classify the main antagonist in this new chapter of the Cave (babyface, heel, hero, villain, beauty, beast…?), but one thing I’m absolutely certain, that ass is going to be starring in my dreams tonight.

With enemies like this, who needs friends?!

Motel Mayhem – Fictional Version

Earlier today, I posted a new “American Wrestling League” chapter by Alex over at Sidelineland. In Motel Mayhem, we follow the backroads adventures of Jake Justice, a young up and coming legacy in the pro wrestling business in the early 80’s. He’s paying his dues despite his status as a legacy, hitting some small town shows and staying in dives along the way.

Headliner Jake has a little secret he keeps from the public…

Of course, small town dives don’t like to think of themselves as dives. Running down the 11 room roadside operation in bumfuck nowhere earns Jake no love from the major side of beef behind the counter. Egos, big muscles, full-on lust. Boys will be boys, and somebody deserves a nasty fucking!

Waiting for Jake behind the desk at the local motel

Enjoy Alex’ story with your membership to Sidelineland, and let Alex know what you think. Motel Mayhem has sent my mind spinning into questions about the eroticism of both brutality and tenderness in homoerotic wrestling. A story with all lust and tenderness, and you basically just have a gay romance novel, which isn’t, by itself, on my list of turn ons. Then again, all brutality can drift far too quickly into rape scenarios or, far too often, homophobic violence that similarly leaves me uncomfortable, sometimes disgusted, and usually quite flaccid. But the alchemy of the two elements woven together is a potentially intoxicating mix for me, and different quantities and types of each ingredient can stroke my kink in delightfully entertaining ways. Alex has a spicy hot recipe going with Motel Mayhem, and I’ll be interested to hear what other readers think.

Lover? Fighter? Where to draw the line?

Snake Bite

While I’ve been out of commission and swimming in corrugate, Alex has continued to perfect his craft by writing a new installment in his highly acclaimed American Wrestling League (AWL) series for the Sidelineland wrestling fiction group.  Alex’ character Danny Chase generated a lot of buzz when he debuted in an earlier AWL match, so I anticipate a lot of interest in seeing Danny back in the ring, especially when regular readers learn that this new work, “Snake Bite,” is another “side hustle” match in the Men’s Wrestling Alliance (matches billed for those with your and my tastes in mind).

In over 3 years, I’m pretty sure I’ve posted about my frequent kink for big vs. small wrestling. Alex dishes up a delightfully deviated differential between Daring Danny and his unexpected opponent at MWA, Snake.

I’m not as certain whether I’ve waxed poetic about my occasional fetish for erotic shower scenes, but that’s also an element in Snake Bite that worked me hard when I read Alex’ new work. There’s something powerfully intimate and, when done right, a perfect extension of the eroticism of dominance and humiliation when wrestlers slap down their junk and measuring tapes in the ring and then finish up cementing the pecking order together in the shower. There’s just something about soap, lather, water sheeting and streaming over muscles, that become a short cut to my arousal. Set within that context the drama of hard fought wrestlers who’ve pounded out their rivalry in the ring, and it turns absolutely golden. Sprinkle in the fact that said ring rivalry is also a grudge match, and I’m breathlessly soaking in a second (or third) wave of satisfaction with locker room scenes like the one Alex serves up in this story.

Need I say it again? No, but I’m happy to repeat myself: Alex’ writing is superb. His description of the action is seamless and beautifully paced. His characters haunt me for days after I first read them. We’re incredibly fortunate to get to enjoy what Alex is writing.  On behalf of Alex and me, let me just remind you that now it’s your turn! Get to putting your homoerotic wrestling imagination to good use (other than working yourself into a quivering mess), and put word to page to share with the rest of us at Sidelineland!

Big Ben

It’s not like I’m subtle. I practically beg for interviews with homoerotic wrestling hunks! I’ve got favorite classics who I’ve long harbored a crazy longing to chat up, but I’m nothing short of tickled (in that hot, pinned down and tortured way) to have a sexy, fresh rookie agree to go on the record as well. When I discovered that BG East new hottie, Ben Monaco, reads the pages of this blog, it took me about a quarter of a second to get my interview request out. Big Ben amiably agreed, and he charmingly calls me “Mr. Bard” (which makes me think for just a moment that he’s talking to my dad), so I’ve quickly settled firmly down on the side of being a Ben Monaco fan! Getting a little back story does nothing but make me eager to see more of what this sexy, sweaty slammer has in store for his BG East career!
5’10”, 175 lbs., Ben Monaco

Bard: So Ben, I’m excited to learn that you’re a neverland reader! Welcome to neverland and to homoerotic wrestling.

Ben: Why thank you Mr. Bard, always liked your writing style and enjoy your analysis of the matches and wrestlers you write about.

Bard: Hey, thanks! I’m honored! So I have to start where you left off at the end of your debut match with BG East. That kiss planted on fellow rookie Alex Arias is dizzyingly hot! Alex seems to want to fight it off, but I swear we watch him melt underneath you as you hold the back of his head firmly in your hand and plant your mouth across his. Damn that’s a hot finish! What was going through your mind as you celebrated your first match victory so passionately?

Alex Arias melts from the press of Ben’s offense.

Ben: Of course, yes, lots of things were going through my mind at the time. This was my first match released on BG East’s website and also, chronologically speaking, the first match I filmed for them! Naturally, there was a bunch of nervousness at first, but in the end, I was focused on having a bit of fun with my little opponent…figured the BG East fans would like it…after they knew who I was of course.

Bard: You certainly made a big impression on me! What a way to introduce yourself to BG East fans, not to mention the disarming treat it clearly is for your opponent. What’s your wrestling background? Your first match appeared in a product called “Mat Rookies,” but already you seem awfully confident on the BG East mats.

Ben: My background is actually very, very limited! Unlike a lot of the roster there, I have no formal training in submission wrestling, pro or otherwise. I actually only began wrestling my very first matches back in August 2011! Of course, before that I was already an avid fan of BG East and gay-wrestling in general. So a lot of what I know to do I owe to the various guys who I’ve wrestled as well BG East’s talented coaches Jonny Firestorm, Kid Vicious and Kid Leopard of course.

Bard: So you were already a homoerotic wrestling fan before you wrestled for BG East?

Ben: Yes, I was a big fan of BG East and still am to this day. Wrestling has always been a big turn on for me so the homoeroticism comes quite naturally when you’ve got a hot opponent in front of you!

Bard: Where did BG East find you?

Ben: My “day job” makes me travel around a lot between four cities: Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City and Montreal (my home). I ended up wrestling a guy in Toronto that I met on globalfight on one of my frequent layovers. We had tried on several occasions to meet, but there was always a scheduling thing that went wrong. After a good solid month of back-and-forth “I’m not available that day but are you free on that day?” messages, we finally met at the start of 2012. As we finished our first match he asked me if I knew about BG East. “Of course!” was my answer. He then told me that he personally knew the guys in charge (Vicious and Leopard) and thought that I should meet/talk with them about filming.

At first, I thought he must be joking! How could I, a new kid on the wrestling block, be considered BG East material? I had only been wrestling for 4 months or so! Nevertheless, I agreed to let him send some of our match pictures to the BG East bosses. Within a week I was chatting with Kid Leopard about potentially flying down to Florida to film, by the end of January it was all confirmed and by the second week of February I was down south shooting my first matches.

Bard: Sounds like a fantastic adventure! Being so new to the game, what is it that motivates you to step onto the mats in your underwear, cameras rolling, and work up a bucket of sexy sweat as you put your ass on the line?

All that sweat requires Ben to squeeze tighter!

Ben: Well first off, it isn’t always underwear [laughing]. There’s actually a lot of different gear BG East fans will get to see me in when my future matches are released. What motivates me? Have you seen the BG East roster lately? That’s all the motivation I need! I practically passed out when Kid Leopard told me who was going to be in Florida with me for the shoot! And as for the buckets of sweat, that just comes naturally. One of my well-known opponents even commented “Finally! Someone who sweats as much as I do!” It does make some holds a bit tricky to apply though…

Bard: Count me among the fans of dripping sweat on a wrestler! I also adore the sound of Alex whimpering as you control him in the long, agonizing series of scissors you squeeze him in. There’s an almost inaudible gasp and withering whine that you milk right out of him that I find astonishingly sexy. I also remember you telling Alex that you wanted to hear him scream, which you proceeded to make him do. What’s it like for you to play an opponent like that?

Ben: Oh well that’s just a lot of fun! When I beat a guy down, I love making him beg and plead for me to release the hold or end the match. I can be a pretty nasty little heel when I want. But don’t be fooled by my first match, I’ve gotten my ass handed to me many times in the past by bigger AND smaller opponents. Little guys, I’ve found out, can pack quite the punch too.

Bard: Before I saw Mat Rookies, I was first attracted to your hot, hairy pecs from your pictures on the BG East website. But after watching your match, I have to say it’s a toss up between your powerful legs and that lovely mouth of yours that are at the top of my list. When it comes to your body, what part is your pride and joy?

Pumped for action!

Ben: Honestly, that’s a tough one. I used to be fairly out of shape in my younger years. I’m 27 and have only been working out regularly since I was 22. Back then I was a shapeless mass of flabby flesh. Thanks to hard work and good personal trainers, I finally have a bit of a shape to show off in wrestling gear! My pecs actually, if I have to name one part, are probably what I’m most proud of since they’re a fairly recent addition to my frame. I used to have a flat chest until I discovered the magic of a decline bench press. Within a few weeks I was bouncing my pecs proudly! The next challenge training-wise is to get bigger arms! I love arms on a guy and am dying to get mine growing even more than they have!

Bard: You’re clearly a long way down the path to pounding out a powerful, very sexy body! Who else at BG East would you like to pin to the mat with your lips? From the current roster of wrestlers, who would you like to dominate next?

Ben: Hmmmm…that would be a long, long list! Can’t I just have them line up and just try each one until I’m satisfied?

Bard: Absolutely! That sounds like golden concept for a BG East series! I certainly understand where you’re coming from. But if you had to choose where to start…?

Ben: Well, if I have to pick some guys from the current roster that I would gladly pin down and dominate with my lips…Kieran Dunne, Braden Charron, Darius, Eddie Rey, Patrick Donovan all make the short list among many, many others…next question! I’m getting horny [laughing].

Kieran Dunne is first on Ben’s list to pin with a lip lock.

Bard: You and me both! If you had to lose, and with the caliber of wrestlers at BG East that seems like it’s always a possibility for even the most experienced veterans, who wouldn’t you mind losing to? From the current roster or the from the classics, who would you pick to be the one to dominate you and what would they do with you once they’d beaten you?

Brad Rochelle can turn Ben into his
“little wrestling slave”

Ben: Given my limited experience, I’m sure a lot of the BG Boys will be having their way with me in future matches! But if I had to pick just one from current or classics, hands down it has to be the ever-gorgeous Brad Rochelle. That guy can dominate me any time any place! He can turn me into his little wrestling slave if he wants! I don’t care! Brad Rochelle….yummy.

Bard: Brad Rochelle is the right answer to just about any question, I think! Yummy, indeed! So, back to sexy little Alex Arias. He looked seriously pissed to be dominated by you, but once you locked your lips on him there at the end of taping, he seemed to finally, reluctantly, despite himself concede that he was yours. Were there any hard feelings off camera afterward? Anything else “hard” off camera that you’d be willing to talk about?

Ben: Nah! No hard feelings between us! Alex is a great guy as are all the BG Boys that I met down in Florida. There are no hard feelings after the matches because we know that we’re all part of the same little family and we’re doing these matches because we LOVE wrestling! As for other…hard things off camera. Well, we’ll leave that to the imagination of the viewers.

After some sweaty pain and suffering, there are no hard feelings.

Bard: My imagination is definitely up to that challenge! The boys at BG East seem to really pride themselves on recruiting the best and treating their wrestlers well. Would you recommend other aspiring wrestlers check them out?

Ben: Absolutely! After having fought for them in February I’ve come to one conclusion: when BG East calls you down for a match, you go. Period. Forget whatever hang-ups you have, you only live once! They are amazing, friendly, kind generous guys who go out of their way to make you feel at ease and welcome among their ranks. On top of that, you get to meet and fight with all kinds of hot guys you only ever dreamed of meeting!

Soaked in sweat, Ben looks stunning reveling in victory!

Bard: Well, you’re now officially in that cadre of hunks appearing in the personal fantasies of many a homoerotic wrestling fan! Your work on the mat against Alex Arias and your obvious enthusiasm for homoerotic wrestling are truly a delight! Anything else you’d like to say to neverland readers who were impressed with your Mat Rookies introduction to BG East fans?

Ben: Stay tuned for some more matches and feel free to let me know what you’d like to see in the future! I’m always happy to hear what fans have to say! Look me up on GF or GnG under the profile Namarian!

The Plot Thickens

While I’ve been on hiatus, Alex has been diligently continuing to produce some of the best written homoerotic wrestling fiction I’ve ever read! Earlier today I posted his latest chapter in The Cave series, in which we catch a glimpse of the complex mind and hidden motivations of The Bat’s version of Alfred, aka Ryan.

Chapter 1 left us all curious as to Ryan’s backstory and, potentially, his “front” story as the drama in The Cave continues to unfold. First, we get a first hand account of a behind doors scene from chapter 1, in we discover just what went down between Ryan and ripped Riddler nasty boy, Josh.

Chapter 2, however, not only gives us the highly provocative details of the altercation between Ryan and Josh, but a full-on wrestling fantasy match starring one of the hottest torsos I think I’ve ever seen (attached to a terribly pretty hunk who goes by Max). Max is one tough son of a bitch, and the combination of vicious heel and painfully pretty muscleman is one guaranteed to get my heart pumping!

Cody, aka “The Bat,” appears to have a blind date with destiny. He seems to have no idea what’s waiting for him around the corner, but thanks to Alex, we can start to guess just how villainous the drama is about to turn for one cloaked superhero with a super-sized cock. I’m aching with anticipation!

Of Masks and Men

My silence since posting several days ago is a result of exciting things happening in the Bard household. I’m implementing some of the big changes that were part of my New Year’s Resolutions. With change comes loss, which in this case includes some loss of consistency in my posting here. But I’m confident that regular readers and kind souls will cut me some slack as I’m juggling several competing demands on my time right now. And then there are the pricks out there who wouldn’t know an expression of social grace if it came all over their face and was nice enough to wipe it clean.

I’m just about to tick off the 3rd anniversary of starting neverland. Three years!? It seems amazing on my end to have been plugging away at this for that long. Over the course of the past 3 years, I’ve encountered a ton of like-minded wrestling kinksters for whom things I write occasionally ring true to their experiences. I never fail to find it exciting and rewarding to get a message in one form or another letting me know something I’ve rattled on about hit a note, spoke as if from the inside out, and made someone feel a connection that felt affirming and validating about what turns them on. Those are truly awesome moments. But I won’t lie to you. There have occasionally been less generous comments and emails. I’m not counting the “I disagree with you” reflections of folks genuinely exploring both the overlaps and the distinctions between our tastes. Disagreement is, in one form or another, the heart of what turns me on. A little (or a lot) of tension, mine’s-bigger-than-yours, you’re-not-the-hot-shit-you-think-you-are work wonders to make a couple of hot hunks into full-fledged fantasy men who stroke my homoerotic lusts in the ring. It’s not the guys who disagree who trip my prick wire. It’s the guys who drop comments disparaging my opinions, calling me names, and generally taking the hospitality I’m well-bred enough to offer around here and then trying to take a dump in my living room.

Surge and Magnus let more hang out with masks on
than they might with masks off.
Just as I was contemplating what to write for neverland’s 3rd anniversary, I screened a post from an anonymous commenter who referred to me as a “gullible loser.” My policy has always been to screen comments, and I’m happy to keep my house tidy and amiable by putting personal attacks in the round file. I haven’t always permitted “anonymous” comments, precisely because I think it can encourage dickishness precisely like this. Internet social etiquette is weakly enforced and built on a complete lack of consensus, so people who would probably never walk into my actual living room and call me names for some reason feel entitled to be so rude on the pages of my own blog, because they don’t have to do it face to face. The opportunity to drop a little stink bomb anonymously, divorced from even the weakest pretense of accountability for one’s behavior, seems to only increase the stink.  I round-filed this last rude commenter like I’ve done to probably a dozen or so similar comments over the past 3 years. One thing the internet is not: a democracy. And on the pages that I spend way (WAY) too much time composing, I get to show pricks out the door before they virtually step foot in this little corner of the internet that I treat as if it’s my own. I also turned the filter back on restricting anonymous comments. Sign up for an OpenID and fire away, but for those who’d like to hide behind anonymity in order to be rude, take that shit elsewhere.

with being unmasked.
As far as I’m concerned, my bordering-on-narcissitic ramblings about homoerotic wrestling work on distinctly different rules than the homoerotic wrestling that I ramble on about. In the homoerotic wrestling ring (my favorite venue), some contemptuous insults are a beautiful device for establishing motivation for two lovely hardbodies to hammer on one another humiliatingly for a half hour. In my nearly 3 years of doing this, I’ve made it quite clear that I think that a healthy dose of smooth trash talk increases the eroticism of a wrestling encounter by multiples of 10 or more. Laying down some withering insults and predicting the humiliation of your opponent is a delightful way to establish the plot that I so enjoy in wrestling. Two competing predictions of superiority enter the ring, but when all is said and done, at most only one cocky hunk will have proven his point. Corporal domination paired with crushed dreams of victory… sweet, sweet stuff!…. in the ring.  Contemptuous, anonymous insults dropped on a blog without fear of accountability or the need to defend oneself does not turn me on.

Angelo Blanco is 20 times hotter for peering fiercely out from behind that mask!
Anonymity itself similarly carries completely different meanings in different contexts. The internet offers us all an opportunity to speak with a different voice, to project a self that’s something other than how we project ourselves walking through our days offline. Hell, if you haven’t picked it up, I don’t go by “Bard” anywhere else. Like many of the masked homoerotic wrestlers who yank my crank, an assumed name has given me the confidence to be more explicit, more provocative, and paradoxically more self-disclosive than I would probably otherwise be. Pseudonyms and monikers online function in my thinking a lot like ring masks. They add a sense of mystery and can serve to take away some of the inhibitions that we might harbor about what turns us on. Like masks, they might inspire us to be bigger and brasher, turning real-life jobbers into hardened heels, or permitting straight-laced vanilla boys to express their inner fetishists or kinksters. And, like wrestling masks, pseudonyms and monikers function more to establish confidentiality rather than anonymity. You can always find me laying down the layers of my kink on the pages of this blog. I’m the one replying to emails. Anonymous commenters, whether gracious or not, aren’t fully engaged in the conversation. There’s no “there” there, when it comes to an anonymous insult tossed across the internet like a flaming pile of shit left on the door step as the 12 year old culprit runs and hides in the bushes down the block.

Would Cage Thunder be as dominating and brutal if he
wrestled sans mask?
Three years running, and without fail I always feel a little vulnerability every time I push the “post” button. Every time I publish a piece of original fiction, I have a little twist in my stomach, flinching reflexively in anticipation that my sincerity will be taken for garbage. And 97% of the emails I receive, the comments posted, and the explanations given by guys signing up for the wrestling fiction groups confirm for me that the time I toss this blog’s way is well-received by classy guys who know the difference between what happens in the wrestling ring and what happens outside of it. I anticipate that there will always be the 3% (less, really) that don’t get it. The flamers and pricks, I’m sure, will endure. But neverland is my baby, bitches, so don’t expect to see your raised-in-a-barn tactlessness show up in these pages.

The demise of Goldenrod is the unmasking of Peter Stallion.
And, more importantly, thanks to those of you out there with social grace (both those who agree and those who disagree with me at any given point). Thanks to the hundreds of wrestlers who have turned me on over the past 3 years. Thanks to the homoerotic wrestling producers and other behind-the-cameras boys who, I strongly suspect, get many, many times over the prickish crap that I get. Life’s too short to take the crap seriously, I think. And it’s much to short to fail to appreciate the good work and kind words of like-minded homoerotic wrestling fans.

The Side Hustle

I partied hearty for my birthday last week. Just now coming out of the haze, in fact. Happily, I had another little present from Sidelineland contributor Alex. Alex is the extremely talented writer who has contributed stories to the Sidelineland homoerotic wrestling fiction group in the past couple of months. Today I posted his newest story, the latest chapter in his American Wrestling League series, entitled “The Side Hustle.”

Star of chapter 3: AWL’s Dangerous Danny Chase

This AWL story centers on a new early 80’s wrestler trying to get traction in the world of pro wrestling.  Dangerous Danny Chase owns property in jobberville, and he’s increasingly unhappy about the neighborhood. After 5 years in the business, he’s a company man, but he’s now used almost exclusively as window dressing to showcase the headliners. What’s a disillusioned young hunk to do with his gasping hopes for fame and glory?

Helpful, hairy hunk, Rex Taylor

Danny’s buddy in the biz, Rex Taylor, suggests a remedy to reanimate Danny’s visions of fortune and fame.  I’ll let you read Alex’s excellent writing for yourself, but needless to say that in a world populated with gay men with a wrestling fetish and spending money, there are always options for wrestlers craving attention and the roar of the crowd. Throw in a gorgeous bodybuilder wearing posing trunks into the mix, and this story is right on target!

Danny’s hopes for glory in the ring are pinned on

Thanks for the excellent birthday present, Alex, and for everyone else who sent along your best wishes.  Life is good, and I’m happy to be living it.

Standing Out from All the Rest

A few months ago, I noted that Steel Muscle God has been continuing to keep it hot and horny, both on his YouTube channel and his site.  For those of you who’ve been living under a rock and missing most of the first year and a half of my blog posts, Steel Muscle God (“SMG,” aka Dan) is a hot piece of man muscle who started posting body worship videos on YouTube, doing private shows, and eventually opened up his own personal pay site (some free stuff there as well). Unlike many similar sites, while SMG is definitely focused on providing mouthwatering material for muscle worshippers, he also has an insightful appreciation for the wrestling fetishists among us. Last month, I decided (in the interest of journalism, of course) to take the plunge and see how hot SMG makes it for paying worshippers.  I’m thrilled to report that I was NOT disappointed! SMG seems to get off on pleasing his fans as passionately as his fans (well, at least I) get off on him!  I was so pleased, in fact, I sent him a note praising him for his devotion to his fans and asking if he’d grant me an interview. He enthusiastically agreed, and as you’ll see below, he’s astonishingly frank, honest, and downright adorable!  You’ll detect that English isn’t SMG’s first language, but he communicates with crystal clarity and the accent does nothing but increase his sexiness by about 25 times.

Steel Muscle God pleasing his fans

Bard: Where did the name “Steel Muscle God” come from?

SMG: When I first signed on YouTube, I wanted a name that would stand out from all the rest. I thought that my muscles are hard as steel, and I was definitely a muscle god, so why not SteelMuscleGod?

Bard: Makes perfect sense to me! I followed you on YouTube for quite a while before I recently joined your website to check out the members-only benefits. You have quite a big and loyal base of fans who comment on your videos and in your website message boards. I get the impression that you have a lot of respect for your fans and that you sincerely enjoy giving them what they want. What do you think about “the guys” who can’t get enough of the Steel Muscle God?

Think you’re better? Prove it!

SMG: I am happy to hear that you have became a member, and I do hope that after this article, there will be many others that will do the same. You are right: people do comment on the videos and on my articles and they do know that I give only the best. I have always respected my fans and their satisfaction has always came first in my book. I live by the motto: If you are happy, I am happy too! I know that being arrogant and disrespectful is what a muscle god is thought to be like, but honestly, I’m not that. As for those who can’t get enough of me, I offer the possibility to do 1-on-1 camshows on skype or yahoo messenger. I flex hard and show off until I am sweaty! And that’s what my guys love!

Bard: Personally, I think that anybody who has a bad word to say about your body is either blind or a moron, but what do you think about the occasional critic who tries to cut you down?

SMG: Haters will always have something to say, no matter what one would do, so I don’t really give a shit about that kind of comments. Some have tried to take me down, by flagging my videos, but as you noticed, I’m still standing. I’m not into quarelling with anybody but all I can say to these kind of people is: Prove it, if you think you’re better than me! After all, I’m still standing and still growing bigger and better!

Bard: Sounds like a healthy, and even sexy, attitude! Your website tells us that your athleticism started with freestyle wrestling. It’s also particularly enjoyable for me to see you bring wrestling into your videos. Even when you aren’t actually wrestling an opponent, you frequently talk about physical domination, like crushing your opponents (or fans!) with your awesome muscles. What does it feel like from your perspective to physically control an opponent with nothing but your steel muscles and your fierce determination?

SMG laughs maniacally as he crushes his (adorable!) skinny
blond friend between his powerful legs.

SMG: I did start with freestyle wrestle, and I can say that it taught me a lot. I might be a nice guy outside the mat but once I stepped into the ring, you will meet the more determined and fiercest opponent ever! I
have only one purpose while there, that is taking you down and making you submit to my muscles!

SMG ties up and takes down
another hunky friend

Bard: As someone who loves wrestling, that’s incredibly hot! You also mention on your website that you “love the feeling of having guys submit to your power.” What wrestling hold or move do you enjoy applying the most? Which one give you the most satisfaction?

SMG: I love when I use my arms or my legs to bring someone to submission. That raw power just gives you the kind of rush that you won’t find elsewhere. And that’s what I really love! I enjoy letting out the animal in me once in a while. IT FEELS AWSOME! Yeah, I do love feeling guys helpless in my presence. I particularly enjoy figure-4 headlock and sleeper hold. Once you get someone into that, you are sure that they will suffer long and good before they will tap out. And I honestly enjoy hearing a guy begging for some air…it’s just fun to hear!

Bard: And it’s fantastic to watch, as well! You’ve got fans who love to worship your pecs. Some clearly go nuts for your gorgeous legs. Your shoulders, your arms, your ass (my personal favorite), even your feet! In your pursuit of “building the ultimate strong and perfect body,” which part of your body do you think is your best feature?

SMG’s muscular development: It’s ALL great!

SMG: I was really hoping you wouldn’t ask me that [laughing]. If guys have one or two favourite muscular groups, I can’t really say which I like best. It’s true that I give particular attention to abs in the gym (training them at the end of every work-out) but I love everything on me. I work each group thoroughly and I try to make the best out of each work-out. That’s why you won’t see any noticeable differences between muscles, with me (e.g. arms and legs or chest and legs).

Bard: Your proportions are definitely amazing. You also have an unmistakable flair for drama and a very fun sense of humor that comes through clearly in your videos. I’ve enjoyed watching the videos of you applying for a job with a naughty employer who demands to see you strip, for example; and the videos where you catch some silly, skinny guy snooping around your things and you make him suffer for it. Have you ever acted?

SMG: I’m happy to hear that you have enjoyed that! I never been in front of the cam before I started this making videos venture, but I have to say that I love impersonating a muscle bully or a demanding muscular guy. I have a bit of everything and that is clearly seen in the videos! I’m just trying to make every video worth watching over and over. If I achieved that, then I’m happy.

Bard: I think all your videos are wonderfully entertaining! I know that you’ve said that you’re officially retired from freestyle wrestling, but have you ever done professional wrestling? Would you consider it in the future?

Daniel Craig’s got nothing on SMG!

SMG: I haven’t done any professional wrestling, but I’d like to try that. I love doing all sort of stuff, and I’m sure it would be lots of fun! Plus, I would be submitting guys and get cheers from the fans! How
cool can that be?!

Bard: I’d be there cheering with the loudest of them! I’ve also enjoyed your sense of humor that comes through in the the videos where you take a “magic potion” that makes you hulk out and rip through your clothes. But for the record, you’re an all-natural bodybuilder, right? No potions?

SMG: The magic potion is definetely a nice idea, but I clearly stated in my YouTube videos and on my site: I’m as natural as I can be and I would NEVER consider taking roids just for the sake of size. I believe that I can achive anything I want just by hard work and determination, and I got plenty of that!

Bard: You occasionally have “co-stars” in your videos, such as that gorgeous bodybuilder you recently posed and wrestled with who almost (but not quite) has as hot a muscle body as you do! Personally, I also think that the skinny blond guy who we’ve seen you beat the crap out of more than once is pretty hot, for a skinny guy. What do your friends think about your online life as the Steel Muscle God, and what do they think about it when you ask them to come on camera with you?

SMG: I try to find the right guys for my videos, and I think I’ve done a good job so far. It’s true that I can do better, but we got plenty of time ahead.  And I will make sure that my friends will know what you
said about them [laughing]. My friends know that I am a demanding muscle guy in front of the cam, but they also know me as the down to earth guy who enjoys a nice ice cream. Some have given an odd look when I mentioned the camera thing but some were quite enthusiastic about it. It’s all up to the guy, I guess!

SMG shows off every divine inch of his body

Bard: Definitely tell your blond friend that he’s got a fan! For people who only watch you on YouTube, they may not be aware that your videos go far beyond what YouTube would allow to be posted. You’ve generously displayed every incredible inch of your muscled body for your fans, including more than a couple intense sessions where you jerk off on camera. First of all, damn! Your cock is every bit as gorgeous as the rest of you! Second, thank you! There are a lot of muscle-worship websites out there that are all tease but no show. Have you ever wrestled naked (and if not, would you consider wrestling naked for your fans)?

SMG’s lats and shoulders bulge gorgeously

SMG: Youtube is a bit of a bitch (if not more) so I would never do the mistake to post “hot” teasers on there anymore.  However, I did post some exciting teasers for my HOT happy ending videos, and I think that the guys who signed up for becoming a member on my site never regretted doing so! I like to go from mild to wild and not shy about letting the world see/know about it. As for nude wrestling, that’d be something that I’d have to try. I just gotta find the right opponent [laughing]. And thanks for appreciating the hot videos. It was awesome doing them, and this way my fans found out what I meant by being able to “bounce every single muscle” on my body.

Bard: It’s definitely not just having steel muscles, but what you do with them. And you do incredible things with your body! I know a few bodybuilders who are quick to point out that they actually have a tough time getting a date. Between working out obsessively, dieting all the time, and just living the disciplined lifestyle that it takes to sculpt muscles like yours, finding time for a personal life seems like it might be hard to do. Do you have a partner (if not, do you date?). What turns you on when you’re looking for someone to be with?

Beach wrestling, anyone?

SMG: The lifestyle of a bodybuilder is not always honey and milk. It does compel you to a strict schedule and diet, but the trick is to find the balance between work and personal life. It took me a while to find it, but once I did, I just try to maintain a healthy work:fun ratio. And dating is fun, though having someone to support you is pretty important.

Bard: I wrote a series of posts on my blog a year ago in which I imagined what a wrestling match might look like between you and another YouTube bodybuilder with his own personal website, Adam400m. I have to say, despite Adam possibly having bigger muscles than you (though surely not as perfectly proportioned), I couldn’t help but picture you conquering him with your steel muscles and that incredibly sexy voice you have. How does it feel to know that you inspire sexual fantasies in an army of Steel Muscle God worshippers?

SMG: Funny you mention that guy. I wrote hima few messages, letting him know that I’d be interested in a pose down and wrestle match (friendly one, of course) . He never replied back, and the same thing happened with another musclegod of YouTube (won’t give his name though). I found out that they can’t handle a challenge! And without any meanness, Adam gave a kick to his muscle by using roids. That’s why I was so keen in meeting him, ’cause I knew that even with bigger muscles he wouldn’t be able to take me down! And yeah, that would’ve been quite a hot video to watch! Let’s just pray that he’ll be answering my messages after this article is posted! It feels good to know that you inspire other people (sexually or in the gym). It’s something that makes me smile, and if possible, I try my best to turn them into reality in one of my videos!

Bard: Well, I love your videos and you’ve provided a ton of fuel for my fantasies. I have to say that I can’t often afford to purchase your pay-videos, but I’ve found your member-site incredibly entertaining and worth the investment. Thank you for taking the time to answer some questions for me and my readers. Is there anything else you’d like to say to the gay guys out there who get turned on by hot guys wrestling?

SMG: I know that not a lot of guys can afford the videos, especially in this period of time, but those who decide to go for the membership, they are definetely doing the right thing! The website is just like my body: it will continuously improve and get better and bigger! That’s a promise and my fans know that I always deliver! I would just have to mention that I’m looking forward to making more wrestle videos. I know that the people are anxiously waiting another match between me and some muscle guy, so I will give my best to make that happen! Keep watching the site and my YouTube posts and let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see in the future! It’s been a pleasure to answer your questions.

Bard: It’s certainly my pleasure, and I look forward to more, bigger, and better Steel Muscle God!

Steel Muscle God delivers on his promises.

Colt’s Comeback

Alex is entertaining my wrestling kink like crazy lately! I’ve posted his newest story for the Sidelineland group. It’s chapter 2 of his AWL series, in which he tells the story of the erotic back room moments of early 80’s pro wrestling from the point of view of massive, hairy muscle beast Colt Hill. Colt’s young, dumb, and full of cum, and in a time when massive bodybuilders are starting to outshine the tried-and-true bear-bellied battlers of the years prior, Colt’s early career celebrity status isn’t going over well with everyone in the business (though the fans are nuts for him!).

“Colt Hill”

In chapter 1 of the series, Colt tells us the tale of the rub he encounters when veteran bear daddy badboy, Andy Arlington calls the rookie muscle beast out for private beatdown to settle scores for good. If you haven’t read it, I don’t want to spoil it for you, because you’ll want to read it. But I’ll just offer the teaser that both hairy pounders get naked and the stakes steadily rise fall after fall, until somebody’s ass is literally and figuratively in the possession of his opponent.

“Andy Arlington”

Chapter 2 picks up where chapter 1 left off. Colt gets partnered with another up and coming young stud puppy named Kirk Manning. The two appear to be even more successful than the sum of their parts, and they get one push after another to skyrocket in the promotion. Fans are going crazy for the pair of hot hunks, but egos and ulterior motives are destined to come to a head for the two ambitious boys. When the tension boils over, big muscle boys manage to inflict some serious damage on one another. Twice as nasty (and erotic!) as the physical combat is the public and private humiliation that both of these testosterone junkies are determined to inflict on one another.  Hot, hot, HOT, and fantastically written!

“Kirk Manning”

Sidelineland has been getting a lot more new postings than the sister-site, Producer’s Ring, as of late. I’ve got a couple of projects in the works for Producer’s Ring, but with so much on my plate right now, it’ll be a while before they get launched. But do not doubt that the celebrities wrestling their way to power and glory in the Producer’s Ring universe are still hot, horny, and hammering on one another for geopolitical and financial advantage. Sidelineland will also continue as an anthology of erotic wrestling stories from me and others, some with celebrities, a lot with just hard pounding hunks born out of a little visual inspiration and a whole lot of homoerotic wrestling imagination.

Pushing and Shoving

Voting has been fast and furious in the current reader’s poll to pick the popular opinion on who’s “best of the best” among the cadre of homoerotic wrestlers of the month. Register your opinion to the right, and leave a comment to try to persuade ambivalent voters whose behind toward which they should throw their support.

In the mean time, I just posted a new piece of fantastically written homoerotic wrestling fiction at Sidelineland. For newbies, Sidelineland is a members-only site for sharing your wrestling fiction. The new short story is the second contribution by Alex, who brought us the blazingly hot underground encounter when the Canadian “champion” and  his U.S. counterpart battle it out for national pride (among other stakes). With his new story, Alex takes us “behind the scenes” of an early 80’s pro wrestling production called AWL. Classic pre-80’s pros are struggling to make the transition to the demands for prettier, harder, bigger bodybuilder faces that began to own the scene. Young behemoth Colt is relatively new to the scene, and his orchestrated push is rustling feathers among the long-standing pillars of pro wrestling who can’t stand to see a rookie climb so fast. When push literally comes to shove behind the scenes, young, hairy gladiator Colt is determined to put his ass where the veteran heel’s mouth is, calling him out for some extra-curricular confrontations to put up our shut up.

Colt’s nemesis on camera and off is Andy, a classic, vile, ring savvy heel with a beer belly and an accomplished disdain for rules. Colt is pretty sure that Andy’s been in the business too long to remember that he may be written to be the bully for the show, but he’d be a fool to think he can outmuscle and outwrestle a 6’6″, 290 pound stack of bricks like Colt. The stakes for the extra-curricular activity are the finest, as is Alex’ writing.  I’m crazy to read more from this fantastic, generous contributor to Sidelineland, and I’d love to see some hot takes on homoerotic wrestling from more writers out there, as well.
