Beefcake Showdown : Fandango vs Zack Ryder

Thank you WWE.com for posting these beefcake shots of Fandango and Zack Ryder (where are the large format files though?). Although I can't find the post now, I do recall its title was something like "And Now, Something For The Ladies" (cough, cough). Both beefcakes were given a storyline by the photographer which must have gone something like "okay, let's see your pecs and six-pack abs...great...how about a casual flex to show off your guns...awesome, now take your shirt off...yeah, you can rip it off if you want...now smile...or laugh, whatever...finally, just stand there and let the camera take it all in." Given the similarities between their poses, I thought "why not have a beefcake showdown?" Look at these pics and tell us in the Comments section who you think wins this challenge. (My answer is at the bottom of this post.)




























My answer: Why choose? They both deserve to win. In fact, with photos like these, we all win!

    I totally agree we all win! I thought for sure I'd pick Ryder, but I guess this is the Johnny Curtis (and not Fandango) that everyone's been raving about.

      Bravo. It is great to have our Johnny Curtis back, and juxtaposed with Zack Ryder, too. I could do without the ripped shirt--beauty seldom needs reinforcement with props, which often serve only to distract. What really gets "a lady" in the crotch is the rich fantasy of these two annihilating each other in the ring. My hunch is that Ryder suffers more convincingly than Curtis. Therefore I choose Curtis to be the winner--but not without a Titanic struggle. TT

      Both suffer very erotically, in fact!

    Both so beautiful. But Fandango just has that extra boost of sensuality.

    Later today it dawned on me why I don't like these photos as much as I perhaps should. My answer also acknowledges the "for ladies" remarks, too. It's simple: these are "Chippendale" fotos--they are meant for an audience besotted with estrogen, not for us TOQs. TT

    These pics must have been taken quite a while ago because Ryder now has a full beard which I don't think suits him.
    Both have great bodies but I think Fandango has the edge in the total looks dep't. I've always thought he was one of the handsomest men in wrestling.

    Zack Ryder. He's underappreciated and underestimated. And he's even hotter than Curtis/Fandango, who's no slouch.

    I personally love these "model" shots. Both tasteful and erotic as a little mystery can be.

    I'm a bit sad relooking at these photos and once again seeing my Zacky being beaten by Fandango in terms of allure. Curtis really has that sexy stare down and he'd make Ryder his bitch no questions.

    However, I love how people are pretty divided between the two. In the end, I'd die a happy man to have 30 seconds with any of them.
