Five Years Ago This Month : Beefcakes (Part 2)

Here's another batch of images of the Beefcakes of Wrestling who were featured in this blog back in October 2010. Many of these guys are still wrestling these days, while a few of them -- Gary Steele, Jackson Andrews, Ricky Williams -- seem to have "retired".

Double Post : Milad Akkbar and Derek Wylde

Here's another double serving of Beefcake (because one is sometimes not enough...plus, my files are piling up and I need to unload some of this stuff on you). First up, Milad Akkbar. It's been a while since I featured "The Persian Powerhouse." I read somewhere that he's going to try out for WWE this September. Good luck, Milad, I hope you make it.

Next up, Derek Wylde. In my last post featuring this indie wrestler, I chose images of Derek being put through the wringer. In these pics, Derek's finally got the upper hand, well, in most of these pics anyway. Show 'em who's boss, Derek!

Derek Wylde vs Shawn Spears

Looks like he was bitchslapped by Tyler Tirva.

Wylde demolishes Tirva and Spears.

Can't Derek Wylde Get A Break?

Indie wrestler Derek Wylde is a big, tough guy. But sometimes, even the biggest, toughest wrestlers find themselves in situations they'd rather not be in -- getting choked, bodyslammed, pummeled, sleepered, clobbered, stomped, and bloodied by other beefcake wrestlers (Tyler Tirva, Shawn Spears, to name a few). Oh, the life of a wrestler!

Wylde Thing

Derek Wylde (real name Dennis Stewart) is an indie wrestler who has worked for several companies including HWA, NWF and Pro Wrestling Extreme. This Canadian made his debut with Teen Pro Wrestling in 1998 (see the video here). He stands 5 ft. 11 inches tall and weighs 190 pounds. Sadly, Derek no longer wrestles professionally. Watch his match against Phil Atlas here.
