Today is the 11th anniversary of Beefcakes of Wrestling. That's right...we are now 11 (the very first post featured on this blog was made on February 14th, 2010). The very first wrestler featured (with just one image) was former independent wrestler Anthony Bravado. Bravado was the kind of beefcake wrestler I wanted this photo blog to be all about but I'd like to think the blog has evolved over the years. One of the things I know I've started to do more of is to feature wrestlers from not just the USA, England, Canada, and Australia, but also Japan, Mexico, Sweden, Hungary, Brazil, Singapore, China, Croatia, South Africa, Chile, and others. Anyway, to commemorate our 11th anniversary, here's a look back at our first beefcake. Bravado retired from professional wrestling in 2009 to focus on a career in competitive bodybuilding. Watch him wrestle another thicc bodybuilder, Tank Toland, in this match.

What a man he was!
ReplyDeleteAlways wished he had more and better filmed matches. And sadly as technology improvements advance on, the older videos that are there become even grainier :/
Happy Anniversary!
