Eric Priest

I remember years ago seeing pictures online of some guy who called himself "The Underwear Model" Eric Priest. It seemed like such an arrogant if hilarious name to go by and Eric (real name Michael Boehne) eventually went on to use other colorful monikers such as "The Pimp of the Midwest", "The Epitome of Masculinity," and "The Gold Standard of Professional Wrestling." Citing a bad knee, Eric retired from pro wrestling in 2008. Here are some pictures from different stages of his career.








"Who Was That Masked Man?"

Like Zorro, The Lone Ranger, and scores of comic book/superheroes, a man in a mask has a certain mystique. Check out these masked beefcakes to see what I mean.





Matt Duvall

A while back, I posted a couple of photos of the massive muscleman you see below, but I didn't know who he was. Recently, one of this blogs' visitors, musclemanfan_nz, identified him as Matt Duvall, a competitive bodybuilder turned pro wrestler. The photos of this match (Matt vs. Ruffy Silverstein, photos by Christine J. Coons) were taken in 2005; I haven't been able to find anything wrestling-related since then. Matt can be found on the roster of PTW Wrestling, but it seems that site hasn't been updated in a while. If anyone knows what became of this behemoth, please let us know. (The last photo of Matt shows him in freakishly huge bodybuilder mode and is more current than the match photos.)

Black Speedos With Something Extra

...and by something extra, I mean "decorative stitching."



Nigel McGuinness Is TNA's Desmond Wolfe

Unbeknownst to me until now, 34 year old UK wrestler Nigel McGuinness is on the roster of TNA Wrestling where he goes by the name Desmond Wolfe. Here are some recent images of Nigel/Desmond as well as a picture of what he used to look like before his "makeover."




Nigel McGuinness

I never thought I'd say this but now that UK wrestler Nigel McGuinness ditched his "spiky crown" hairstyle for a buzz cut, he's gotten pretty hot. (Photos by Tony Knox.)










Mr. PEC-Tacular Jessie Godderz (Part 2)

Here are some posed and caught-off-guard shots of Mr. PEC-Tacular. I wonder how far this newcomer is going to go in the world of professional wrestling.

Jessie Godderz is a pro wrestler, bodybuilder, fitness model and reality show "star" (he was on CBS's "Big Brother" not too long ago) who goes by the name Mr. PEC-Tacular in WFX Wrestling.
