Russian Beefcake

Want to watch a video of a three-way title match featuring Ivan Gromov and two unidentified Russian bears? Here's one from Russian wrestling promotion IWF which was posted on their YouTube channel in October 2015. Unlike their other videos, this one is only about 20 plus minutes so it's not going to take up too much of your time. I'll be honest, some of the moves in this match look unconvincing (especially when they smash into each other), but Gromov sells his suffering well and the wrestler in the tight shirt knows his MMA. All in all, it's not too bad. Tell us what you think in the Comments section below.
 

Gromov does a strip tease before his match.




One of Groom's opponents is this muscular
MMA-style fighter. Anyone know who he is?

  1. Ivan Gromov is pure perfection in Manhood.

    Period.

  2. The opponent is Vladimir Kulakov, I recommended him in the first go-round we had with Russian wrestlers a few months back. He takes off the mask when he wrestles, but wish he'd lose the shirt. His earlier matches have him in long tights and no shirt. Anon.

    2. Kulakov also wrestles under the name Vovochka. He appears as well in a promotion out of St. Petersburg called Northern Storm. He is 5'9'' and 195 according to what I have been able to locate and translate. There is one decent tribute video I tracked down that shows him without the shirt in many of the little clips.

    3. Vovochka is something like "Little Johnny," a family of popular Russian jokes about a Dennis the Menace--type child. Here's a sample of one I found:

      Throughout thet week Vovochka interrupted the biology class and annoyed the teacher, Mrs. Mari Ivanovna, so many times, that she threatened the principal she would resign if things didn't get better.
      The principal, not wanting to lose his teacher, ordered Vovochka to be a behave himself, or he would be spending his whole summer in school.
      The following week in biology class, the teacher drew a cucumber on the blackboard: "Children, could someone tell me what is this?"
      Vovochka raised his hand: "It's a penis Marivanna!"
      The teacher burst into tears and ran out to principal to inform him of her resignation.
      Within a minute the principal rushed into the classroom: "All right, what did you do now? Which one of you brought Maria Ivanovna to tears? And who the hell drew that penis on the blackboard?"

    4. I forgot to say thanks. Apparently Vovochka was his first persona when he started wresting. The videos I find are about 8/9 years old, and show him with a full head of hair! Anon.

  3. I'm having an issue with this, and other of these Russian Wrestling YouTube videos.

    I see 7 seconds of motion, followed by about 2 minutes of wait cursor while YouTube buffers the next 7 seconds. It takes forever to finish.

    Is anyone else seeing the same issue?

    1. No, maybe you have the quality setting up too high? 480p is plenty clear.

    2. I have that trouble all the time but not so severely. In my case the problems is, in a word, comcast.

      I have worse trouble with all the dominant little orange wrestlers that I am starting to think that it has to do with my monitor.

  4. It is my dream to see this stud completely owned and then dragged off to the back locker room for more private punishment. Unfortunately most of his matches have him dominate 70% of the time as far as I can tell. Does anyone have recommendations where Gromov is more on the ropes (and on his back)?
