(*Alexander Hammerstone has competed in bodybuilding contests, so I guess we can call him a bodybuilder.)

Uncaged
So I posted something on X yesterday and I did not expect it to be retweeted by Brian Cage himself. I won't lie. I was thrilled that a wrestler like Cage retweeted my content. In his retweet, Cage corrected me for calling him a bodybuilder. "I'm not a bodybuilder pretending to wrestle...I'm a pro wrestler who just happens to bodybuild," he wrote. I get what he's saying. Competitive bodybuilders would probably roll their eyes if they think Cage is calling himself a bodybuilder*. But look, when I see anyone with a massively muscular build like that, there's no way I can't to refer to them as a bodybuilder. Am I wrong? LOL. Anyway, I don't think anyone was seriously offended by my insignificant tweet. Except this one lady who pressed the gay panic button and tried to make Cage feel uncomfortable about the tweet: "I'll be more concerned that a dood (sic) called beefcakes is noticing you." Yes, anyone with a body like that who wears only trunks at his job is going to be noticed. And learn to spell dude correctly, ma'am.
Thanks for sharing, how cool! I mean if anyone in wrestling is going to be called a bodybuilder it's definitely Cage. I also think there's a fallacy in assuming bodybuilders can't wrestle which he implied. Why can't you be both? (which is what I think you intended)
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, always leave it up to someone on the internet ruin all the fun. Ugh

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the shout-out that's awesome! He could have also meant that as a "pro" he earns his living from wrestling and not bodybuilding. This looks like a great match, wish I could watch it! And I guess the Karens are still around, sigh lol
