Mini-Post: Konosuke Takeshita

When he first started out in professional wrestling 8years ago, Japanese wrestler Konosuke Takeshita was a tall, very thin teenager (his athletic background was in track and field). These days, the twenty-five year old 6'2" (187cm) wrestler is 218 lbs (99 kg) of solid muscle. What a transformation! Konosuke has been called "The Future of DDT" (DDT is the promotion he has been with since his debut) and has held many championship titles. Watch him wrestle another DDT beefcake, Yuki Ueno, in this 2019 match.

New Year, New Beefcake : Going International

Continuing this week's series on new-to-Beefcakes-of-Wrestling faces, we travel to three countries to check out some international beefcake. First, let's go to Ireland and meet Tucker. According to pro wrestling.wikia.com, Tucker "works solely throughout the independent wrestling circuits of Northern Ireland and the United Kingdon (and) currently works for Pro Wrestling Ulster (where) he is a two-time PWU Champion and a one-time PWU All-Ulster Champion." Tucker was sidelined in 2015 because of an injury, but he made a comeback last year and will be active again in 2017.

Winning against Matt Sydal two years ago.

Now let's go over to India and meet wrestler/model/actor/reality TV star Sangram Singh. Singh is quite the celebrity in his native country with thousands of fans following him on social media. You can read about his "inspiring story" here.

 

Our third and last destination for today is Japan, the birthplace of Japanese tag team The Happy Motels (I don't get why they're called that, but whatever) -- Tetsuya Endo and Konosuke Takeshita. There are quite a few videos of their matches on YouTube; here are a few to get you started: Endo and Takeshita vs two other young wrestlers, Endo vs Takeshita in separate tag teams, and Endo and Takeshita wrestle each other.
