Beefcakes of Wrestling Turns 6!

Yup, it was six years ago this week that Beefcakes of Wrestling's first post appeared. I started this blog because I was checking out a lot of pro wrestling sites then and thought, "why not curate photos of all the good-looking, well-built wrestlers and put them in one place for  aficionados of beefcake to enjoy?" And here we are! Thanks to my good pals and longtime contributors Jim and David for constantly sharing the amazing photos they take and to all those readers who visit the blog regularly, share links, identify wrestlers I don't know, email me with suggestions, and leave comments (the Comments section has never been busier!). Anyway, here are the wrestlers (posted in alphabetical order) who were featured on this blog in February 2011. Some of them are still around, although they look dramatically different (I'm looking at you Chris Dickinson), while others have left wrestling to pursue different careers. Cheers to all!

  3. Love this blog. I've been following it for some time but only started commenting recently. There are probably many other followers who never drop a comment (especially since it was moderated until a few weeks ago) and I do wonder how many of the wrestlers featured here have stumbled upon the blog while Googling themselves and whatnot, lol.

    Happy birthday!

    (P.S. Dickinson should revert to that smooth look... hot!)

    1. It'll still be called Five Years Ago This Month; I'll repost what I think are the best pics from the same month five years ago, i.e. the best pics from March 2011, April 2011, and so on.

      Click on the Lane Vasser tag on the Labels list (right side) to see more Lane pics.

    2. Lane was a flash in the pan, I think post-college football. Seems as if he moved on quickly from wrestling after a year or two. His name appeared as Vasser and Vassar. He was in Anarchy wrestling, the promotion that gave us Gunner (Phil Shatter), Truitt Fields, Dash Wilder (Steven Walters), Corey Hollis, etc. Anon.

    3. I was so sad that Anarchy came to an end. I loved their weekly updates on Sunday afternoons/evenings. Something to look forward to!
