Coming Out

A few days ago, big, beefy wrestler Mike Parrow came out as gay to the public. There are still only a few wrestlers in the business who have done what Parrow did (WWE's Darren Young and veteran Pat Patterson are among them) and perhaps we'll see more wrestlers do so in the coming new year. Cheers to Parrow! (To see older posts on Parrow, click on the label at the bottom of the post.) Here are some online articles about Parrow's coming out:

Beefcake wrestler Anthony Bowens congratulated Parrow on coming out, too. Read about it here.

The Millenials (2017 Recap)

There was once a time when I thought young adult men would no longer be interested in becoming professional wrestlers because wrestling, like many other forms of entertainment, would be replaced with something different and exciting in the new millennia. Well, I'm glad I was wrong. Pro wrestling seems to be more popular than ever in this age of computers, smart phones, and digital technology. Here are wrestlers with ages ranging from 20 to 27 who were featured many times in Beefcakes of Wrestling this year. These are young men who know how to do self-promotion on social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. You can bet you'll see more of them here in 2018.
