I’ve had my eye on Baba Sultan from when I only recognized him as that devastatingly hot guy with the body and the beard on social media. When I think about “my type” of guy, honestly, there’s a whole Rolodex of different types that I dial into, but my fingers linger long on the type of hunk Baba Sultan is. His stunning conditioning, those abs, that ass, those sensational pecs, that lush and yankable beard, and, holy fuck, that deep, lusty voice… they all flip on every switch I’ve got. About nine months ago he began populating his Watchfighters channel, and when I decided I needed to sample one, I spent days trying to decide what to taste first. I finally settled on one of his most recent videos, out just late last month, it looks like, featuring another growing infatuation of mine, NonoZ.
In Horny Submission Wrestling, the eye candy in this apartment mat match makes me immediately swoon. They’re both in assless singlets, and I have a seriously hard time tearing my eyes away from their naked glutes. The first match I watched with NonoZ was his apartment mat match with Matt Larsen, which was intensely competitive with a load-blowing finale. This match, though, is decidedly more along the lines of erotic submission. It’s super intense, but playful and persistently focused a lot more on the obvious mutual attraction between them than any technicalities about whose grappling skills are superior to whose. The tone is set within the first 15 seconds, when NonoZ manages to hoist Baba upside down into a handstand and immediately starts cranking on Baba’s cock (conveniently accessible in that singlet that’s also crotchless). “Yeah,” Baba purrs in that deep, hungry baritone of his. “Toy with me, I like that!” NonoZ likes it, too. So do I.
The match teeters back and forth in a way that successfully builds intensity and suspense, while staying on this side of the line of playful and erotic. They’re both aggressive, but again, it’s a lot more hungry than competitively oriented. Baba probably has an edge in terms of aggressive intensity. When he’s working his offense, climbing on top and going for a hold to control his masked opponent and to leave NonoZ open to being groped and possessed, Baba’s just a bit unstoppable. Even by the serious muscle and skills of NonoZ, which is saying a lot! At one point early on, Baba’s got NonoZ pinned underneath him. NonoZ has been furiously struggling to buck and writhe for a reversal, but Baba just rides him like bronco buster. Decisively, Baba grapevines his captive’s powerful legs, wrenching a grunting whimper out of his frustrated opponent. And then, Baba turns and smirks directly into one of the cameras and flashes a cocky bicep flex. That’s the vibe! It’s cocky and intensely hot and focused like a laser on possession and control for the purpose of sucking moans of ecstasy out of NonoZ with Baba’s lips clamped onto a nipple. And Baba mugging for the camera and occasionally talking to you and me keeps us right in the room with them.
It’s not pro at all, but with Baba’s relentless laughing and taunting and smirking and cocky flexes, he reads very much like an erotic heel. And don’t get me wrong, NonoZ is intense and mean and hungry as hell, as well, but he’s relatively quiet, contained, with a massive earnestness that comes across like a total masked babyface. Baba’s showboating and mugging for the camera are sexy as fuck, but so is when he gets too cocky, leaves himself open for a reversal, and that taunting baritone laughter is suddenly muffled with his face buried deep in NonoZ’s sensational ass sitting on his head. There are these super sweet technical moments that suddenly blossom into erotic sculpture, like when NonoZ controls his opponent in a toehold, figure-4’s Baba’s ankles, and snags Baba’s neck in a sleeper. NonoZ arches his back, showing off everything, but especially that naked ass flexed in concentration, and I completely lose my ability to keep taking notes on the match for this review.
The boys go to town on each other’s cocks. There are repeatedly these moments of tension where the guy on the bottom is obviously grappling hardest with his own ambivalence, torn between the desire to battle back on top and the impulse to melt under the relentless control of his opponent’s hand massaging his cock. In one scrambling exchange, Baba battles to top position, pinning his lucky opponent’s face under his ass, and immediately shoves a hand inside NonoZ’s singlet to really grab hold of that joystick. Just to put me right over the edge yet again, Baba bounces there on NonoZ’s masked face, and just like NonoZ, all I can do is go along for the swooning ride.
The hottest and most explicit moment of the match has to be when Baba’s on this back, controlling his opponent in figure-4 headscissors on top of him. Baba shoves NonoZ’s hips upward, arching the trapped hunk’s back and demonstrating the inspired wardrobe choice of those assless singlets again. Fishing around inside NonoZ’s singlet, Baba suddenly yanks NonoZ’s cock free, prying the gorgeous erection backward. Baba goes absolutely fucking nuts, laughing, nuzzling his captive’s gorgeous cockhead with his beard, and lapping and licking at it as it visibly throbs in his grasp.
The unfinished singlets get ripped off, leaving NonoZ in a fashion jock strap and Baba barely-to-not contained in a tiny thong. I realize I’ve said it already, but I have to say it again: fuck, these men are drop dead gorgeous! And it’s not just me who thinks so, clearly, because they are both tearing into each other like men on the edge of starvation getting their hands on a roasted chicken. Bad boy Baba uses his opponent’s purloined singlet to choke the masked hunk and tauntingly shove NonoZ’s face into a camera. “Look at beautiful NonoZ, boys,” he purrs, showing off his total and humiliating control. I swear, I’m ready to put the notch in Baba’s win column when NonoZ finds a whole new gear, trapping Baba’s head between his legs and rolling the recently cocky hunk into a humiliating ass-up foldover spadle. And he milks it so fucking sensationally! Baba’s thong is clinging for dear life, leaving nothing to the imagination as NonoZ smothers him with a sweaty singlet, cranks on his nipples, and slapping the fuck out of Baba’s balls.
There’s not a wasted minute of this nearly 28 minute video. That said, just a heads up that the match is filmed with two stationary cameras, and the editing has a vibe all it’s own that I had to get use to. Quite a bit of the action is shown frame-in-frame, with the same moment displayed simultaneously from the two different angles. I’m not sure that I’ve seen that style of editing before, but I love it! It has this loving attention to detail to let us savor every moment. There are several moments, though, when, instead of the frame-in-frame style, the editing cuts from one camera angle to another, jumping backward in time to replay a couple of minutes already seen from the other perspective. My first time watching, that was a little disorienting, but I adjusted, and sometimes, the replay prompted me to go back and watch the scene from the first angle again, to enjoy it knowing more about what was happening just out of sight. I’ve seen the cut-replays from different angles before (Sir Dark’s Rumble Match comes to mind), so it’s clearly a known editing choice. It does pull me out of the intensity of the moment and remind me I’m watching this on video, which fights with the immediacy of Baba Sultan’s style of mugging for the camera, talking directly with us watching, and making it feel like we’re there in the room with them.
I get the editing choice, though, because there’s just so fucking much to savor and enjoy in this match! I’m infatuated with both Baba Sultan and NonoZ more than ever, and amid a landscape of a lot of coded gay wrestling that leaves the viewer having to add the erotic eye to the drama, this is legitimately and gloriously sensationally sexy erotic submission wrestling done right. Check it out, unless you aren’t into gorgeously fit bodies and intensely sexy wrestling milked to perfection. Otherwise, this is a must-see.
