Bonus Post: Gayfabe & Wrestling Beef

Looking for more wrestling content to follow on the internet? I recently stumbled upon a blog and an Instagram account managed by the same person (he calls himself Gay Meltzer) and it is chock-full  of content that I know would appeal to Beefcakes of Wrestling aficionados. Meltzer's blog is called Gayfabe and in his "About" page, he says the site covers "wrestling news and nostalgia from a gay perspective." His intent with Gayfabe is to "cover those stories and performers that capture the gay imagination" but with a caveat: "this blog offers but one perspective -- a decidedly gay male perspective... (we do not) attempt to reflect the views and preferences of all gay people, past or present." The blog looks relatively new; the first entry was posted a month ago. Since then, Meltzer has posted 10 or so more stories. Here are some of them:
The Joey Ryan-Dom Kubrick kiss at Bar Wrestling's Sashay Away event.

Chad Gable's new look (Now/Then)

The Sammy Guevara-Kip Sabian match for AEW

The Simon Grimm leaked jockstrap pic "controversy"
Meltzer also manages an Instagram account called Wrestling Beef which has been around longer than his blog (the earliest entries are dated November 2017). He's curated some fantastic photos and has even created an awesome series called Royal Rumple. Meltzer certainly knows his beef! Most of the wrestlers he features are favorites here on Beefcakes of Wrestling. He even posts pics of beefcakes from the 80s and 90s. Check it out! (He has a Twitter account, too, if that's your thing. Follow him on @GayMeltzer)
