Booty

I don't have to tell you how ubiquitous the word booty has become in pop culture, thanks to reality stars and pop divas. Although it's usually the ladies who get all the attention, we can't leave out the men. Don't they too deserve a song about their posteriors? Having said that, let's check out some beefcake booty.

V For Vendetta

On July 28 in Lancaster, two indie federations in the UK pro wrestling scene faced each other to determine who is the best in the North West. Wrestlers from XWA battled wrestlers from GPW in a show called "Vendetta." One of the matches featured the so-called "Baby Jesus of Wrestling" Rockstar Spud (XWA) versus Kris Travis (GPW). Rockstar won the match with a top rope flying elbow. At the end of the night, team GPW won the contest. (Photos by Tony Knox)

Why are these men so happy?

British Bad Boys

When you think of pro wrestling heels, you might think of hulking heavyweights like Big Van Vader or Kane. But heels come in all shapes and sizes, case in point, British bad boys "Show Stealer" Nathan Cruz and RockStar Spud. They may be leaner, smaller, and lighter than their massive counterparts, but these heels are just as vicious and nasty. Watch them wrestle each other in an older match here. (Photos by Tony Knox)
