Beefcakes In Action : On The Ropes

One of the things that makes pro wrestling different (and better IMO) than other contact sports is the fact that the participants can use a part of the "equipment" during a bout. I'm referring to the ropes that are supposed to keep all the action inside the squared circle. You won't see boxers or MMA fighters employing the ropes or a part of the ring to gain an advantage over their opponents. But in wrestling, the ropes are where some of the most intense action takes place. Wrestlers can bounce off them, climb them, use them to execute other holds...and, even though these are illegal, use them to choke their opponents, rake their eyes, or bind their arms in order to incapacitate them . Here are just a few examples. (More images coming soon.)

The ropes are a good place to catch your breath.

Double Post: Chris Dickenson and The Beaver Boys

There's a whole lot of shakin' going on at Combat Zone Wrestling. On July 13th, the indie promotion held its "New Heights" show in Voorhees, New Jersey, featuring stars like Drew Gulak, Caleb Konley, Shane Strickland, Tommy Dreamer, and a host of others. The headline match featured Masada defending his CZW World title against Chris Dickenson. After an intense battle which took place inside and outside the ring, Masada defeated Dickenson and retained his title.

Look at that tongue!

Also on the card that night was a tag team match featuring Johnny Silver and Alex Reynolds aka The Beaver Boys (check out their cheeky t-shirts below). The heels defeated good guys Bandido Jr. and Azrieal. (All photos by Scott Finkelstein)

Reynolds' long hair becomes a liability.
