Brad Armstrong vs. Lenny Lane




It's been a long time since we took a look at Brad Armstrong in action, and that's just wrong.  Let's check out a Pretty Boy vs Pretty Boy match:  Brad vs Lenny Lane.

Brad Armstrong

Lenny Lane

Back when Mullets were still a sign of coolness, Brad had the longest, curliest Mullet in Pro Wrestling.  Check him out, looking cocky in his sweet blue trunks and that flashy Flag coat.  God Bless America!

Lenny Lane is playing the the fan favorite tonite as he rushes to the ring, slapping hands with the audience to get their support.  Will they later regret buying into his chances for victory?
Enter short-haired Brad Armstrong, smiling with confidence.  He may be wearing his American Flag coat -- the trademark attire for a Baby Face hero -- but in '97 when this match took place, Brad was playing the cocky, hard-ass, smart-aleck Heel.

This match is like when Superman visited Bizarro World and everything was opposite and backwards.  As one of the most humble, friendly jobbers in wrestling history, Brad is now acting rude, crude, and beating up his opponents as the fans boo him and flip him off.


Meanwhile, the fans are cheering for jobber Lenny Lane, who waits patiently in the ring bare-chested.  I don't remember Lane ever looking this damn good, wow.

This match was before Lenny started his flaming fairy gimmick, so it was still OK for the homo-phobic wrestling fans to cheer for him.  Of course, male fans normally hate and berate the gay sissy wrestlers, because if they cheered, it would make the whole "sport" seem pretty queer to watch!
I must say, once Brad finally turned Heel, he was damn good at it!  His strut, his cocky smile, and hot poses like this long stare-down were the cherry on top of the whip cream for wrestling fans to watch and enjoy.  


Brad peels off his fancy coat to expose his muscular body and offers Lenny Lane a hand-shake.  That is a nice show of sportsmanship, but does Brad have a dirty trick up his sleeve??


Sure enough, Brad busts out a classic Sonuvabitch move as he drapes his coat over Lane's face and whomps on the blinded victim.  They do this in Hockey fights too, but they're not shirtless in speedos at the time.

Brad wraps the American Flag coat around Lane's neck and begins to choke the jobber as the ref freaks out.  Aren't there rules against disrespecting the flag like this??  I think you aren't supposed to let it touch the ground, get rained on, nor strangle somebody with it!

Lane's muscular body is already limp with exhaustion as he slumps in the corner, helpless and hopeless.  Brad knows how this feels, since he played the eager, athletic, pathetic jobber for 16 years prior to this match.
Some worked-up fan in the front row wants a piece of Brad Armstrong for what he's done to poor Lenny, who has collapsed to the mat like a sack full of wet laundry.  Brad is having the time of his life, a smile forming on his lips as he is finally the Alpha-Male in the driver's seat.

But Lenny Lane is not licked yet.  As Brad throws him into the corner, he presses up, clasps Brad's neck between his legs, and flip-whips the big-shot right out of the ring.

Angry Brad responds to the laughing, jeering fans with some furious expressions, stomping around ringside in his tight blue banana-hammock and flexing his muscles in rage.

I'd say poor, humiliated Brad needs a hug (any volunteers??)

By the way, this great match is brought to you by the Pro Wrestling Media website. Brad vs. Lenny is available on their  DVD #44, and tell them The Wrestling Arsenal sent you.

Frustrated, handsome Brad runs his fingers through his short hair, shocked at Lenny Lane's swift moves.  Doesn't Lane realize Brad is not playing jobber any longer??

So who is the more handsome stud?  Long-haired Lenny, or short-haired Brad?  Click on their pictures if you need a closer look.


Brad climbs back in the ring, itching for revenge.  The two hunks square off in their tight speedos and white boots.


Brad tries to intimidate Lenny, flexing his bicep and forcing Lane to stand and look at his power.  Yowza!  No wonder Lenny Lane later turned gay!
GRRR!   Are you f--ing kidding me??  Just look at that expression on Brad's face as he holds up his thick bicep and dares Lenny Lane to try to top that hard body.  Brad is awesome as a heel, he should have used this gimmick years ago and he'd be a bigger star than Hogan and Flair combined!

Lenny is now very eager to rush in and grab ahold of that hairy-chested muscle body, but Brad commands him to chill out and control himself for a second.  Brad is great.

OOOFFF!!  The brutal hard-ass kicks naive Lenny in the belly like he's punting a football.  Lenny must pay the price for tossing Super-Brad out of the ring earlier.

He spikes Lane's face into the mat then wallops him like a run-away slave.  Brad learned all this from the numerous beatings he suffered in the ring.


With a handful of his blond mane, Armstrong spikes the jobber's face again.  By the way, have you had a chance yet to look at those tight, shiny  trunks on Brad Armstrong??

They say the Armstrong family had a curse, since none of them could win a real Title Belt (or any big matches) for years.  Brad is trying to break the Armstrong Curse by getting rough and dirty in the ring.

The ref steps between the two studs and finally does something he's been eager to do all night, running his fingers over Brad's muscular, hairy chest.


Lane's job is to make Brad look skillful, merciless and powerful.  He does this by not resisting as Brad scoops him up and spikes him on the back of his head.

It's the little things that make a stud with a nice physique into a great, great Pro Wrestler.  Brad gives the fans a cocky smile as he kneels beside his injured prey like a lion that just took down an injured gazelle.
See, Brad's little poses add so much to the fans' enjoyment.  He winks at the camera, as if saying to the fans at home: "We both know you're tuning in each week to check me out.  Yeah right, you enjoy pro wrestling for the athletics and the dramatic story lines, right?  Wink Wink."

Brad slithers over and covers whats-his-name chest to chest, his blue speedo on display.  He fails to hook the leg, so we'll get to see more punishment.  Cool.

"Get up, punk.  I'm gonna show these fans that I'm not a pretty boy jobber any more by hurting you without mercy!"

Brad drags Chris Jericho -- oops, I mean Lenny Lane -- back to his feet by the hair.

Poor Brad had a lot of lame gimmicks over the years -- the Candyman (pedophile), Arachna-man (Spider-man Wanna-Be), Buzz-Kill (a washed-up former hippie), etc.  I swear the promoters were trying to bury him, but why would you bury a talented, sexy hunk like this??


Brad continues to beat down and humiliate Lenny Lane, who lays flat on his back kicking his legs around.  Does anybody want to rassle?  
Wow, very nice display of man on man domination.  Really, a work of Pro Wrestling art.  And don't forget you can order this masterpiece from the Pro Wrestling Media website.

Brad has so many gay fans, they've started a Yahoo Group which has over 900 members.  Here are some comments from that group:

"I love Brad's broad shoulders, his thick, hairy arms and his BA logo boots."

"
The hairy chest does it for me every time. Always liked his choice of trunks too."



Brad's Arm-Lock forces Lenny to submit.


"
Hey guys! Ain't Brad just the hottest!?! Damn he gets the blood boiling he is so good in the ring!"


"Brad is damn sexy in almost any hold, give or take.  There is something about his masculine stance and sexy legs that drives me crazy and those trunks he wears!"


The ref calls for the bell.


"All these terrific pix of Brad, good gawd, they've got my blood racing for more and more of him. Ain't he the sexiest wrestler that ever lived?"


"Agree with you 100%! He can still give me that tingling sensation."

Brad, playing the angry Heel, refuses to break the hold.


"Brad looks awesome in this match. Every inch of him is muscle. Love all the closeups on his tight ass. No wonder I used to j.o. every time I'd see him wrestling."

Poor Lenny is screaming his submission as Brad tries to rip his arm out of the socket, bending it back across his thigh.  Meanwhile the bell is ringing over and over as the ref pleads with Bad Brad not to hurt poor Lane.

Wow, Lane does a great job selling the pain of this hold.  Or maybe B.A. is really hurting him.

Whoa.  Brad looks just fierce as his thick arm is raised in victory.  Nice.


A few more comments from the Yahoo Group:
