Keita The Kingdom

This is American independent wrestler Keita's first feature on this blog. Sometimes going by Keita Murray, the 27-year-old wrestler hails from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Keita made his in-ring career in 2015 and has since wrestled for dozens of indie promotions such as New Japan Pro Wrestling, Combat Zone Wrestling, TRUE Wrestling, to name a few. He's currently the Without A Cause (WAC) champion, a title he's held for 242 days and counting. Keita is a proudly out wrestler.

Flashback: Danny Jaxx

American independent wrestler Danny Jaxx was one of the first wrestlers featured on this blog in 2010, the year I started Beefcakes of Wrestling. Unfortunately, I couldn't find much on him back then. According to Cagematch, 2010 was Jaxx's last year as a professional wrestler (he started his in-ring career in 2001 and went on hiatus from 2008 to 2009). That explains why I couldn't find anything new on him after 2010. If you do a Google search on Jaxx (or Curt Daniels or Blitz Butler, the other names he wrestled as), you'll probably see the same pics I posted below. I'm sure there's a website out there with more pictures of him, but I have yet to come across it. I took some screenshots of Jaxx just to beef up this post. He has quite a few matches on YouTube such as this one against Jon Thornhill, but the image quality most of them leaves much to be desired. If anyone has more info on or images of Jaxx, please leave a link in the Comments below. Thanks in advance! (P.S. When wrestling as Curt Daniels in the early 2000s, "Danny" had a tag team partner named Andy Jaxx. They had a frat boy gimmick and their tag team was called Kappa Tappa Kegga. More on Andy Jaxx soon.)

Now And Then: Michael Allen Richard Clark

Seeing beefcake wrestlers transform over the years is fascinating. Here's Canadian wrestler Michael Allen Richard Clark in various stages of his in-ring career. Starting with how he looks these days, we'll then take a look back at him in 2013, 2015, 2018, and 2020.
