Face Spike




One of the most basic and brutal moves in wrestling is to simply grab the opponent's hair and ram his face into something hard and solid.  Speaking of hard and solid, check out these fit young rookies:  Greg Gagne and Bob Orton!

This big bully is looking for something to smash the handsome rookie's face into.  Maybe his partner from across the ring is sticking a knee over the ropes for a target.  (I love that move!)

A flamboyant blond cheater, Eddie Mansfield, has busted open Guerrero's face by spiking him into a ring post.  Now he grabs the victim's hair for another face-spike to make him bleed more.

Guerrero gets some revenge on the blond brute.  He's about to ring the bell using Mansfield's face as the clapper.

Here are two great images of a beefy, bloodied Buzz Sawyer about to be spiked into some object at ringside.  The bearded stud always looked great in his black bikini trunks, dazed and bleeding from the rough abuse.



Vern Gagne teaches this Arab, Sheik Adnan, some respect for America by driving his face into the fence surrounding the ring, which splits that dirty terrorist wide open.

This poor guy fell out of the ring, but Bockwinkle continues attacking him illegally.  He grabs two thick handfuls of the victim's hair and prepares to drive his face into the hard edge of the ring apron.

I don't know the story behind the mask as mentioned in the caption, but I do know this Victor Rivera is hot in his bright white trunks. There must be a loose nail in the ring apron, so Destroyer is trying to pound it back in.

Ric Flair is wearing the crimson mask, as he's done many times in his career to fire up the audience.  Harley Race reaches through the ropes to further bust open the helpless Nature Boy's wound.

Da Crusher loved to use the Face Spike over and over again without mercy, often running his opponents around the ring and cracking their skulls into all four corner posts.

Bobby Duncum was a rough, tough, hard-ass Cowboy, so Crusher needs to soften him up with some face-smashes in the corner.

Now Crusher is about to slam Jessie Ventura's noggin into the time keeper's bell.  Don't worry -- this brain damage did not hinder Ventura's ability to serve as a politician.


Bob Backlund was fit and hunky back in his younger days.  No wonder the fans loved him.  Here, a stronger man prepares to run him down the ropes and smash his cute face into the ring post.
Check out the horror on young Backlund's face as another veteran prepares to stun him with a Face-Spike into the steel post. The brutality was relentless back in the Good Old Days of pro wrestling.


This time young Backlund is in the driver's seat for once.  He prepares to run Patterson's face into the steel fence, which will probably bust him open as in most cage matches.
Miguel Perez is helpless to defend himself as his wild opponent, Firpo, prepares to smash his face in.  Like most hairy wrestlers, Perez looks great in white trunks.

A smash into the Turnbuckles has taken it's toll as this jobber can't even defend himself.  Now the crazy beast can do whatever he wants to the dazed victim.


Dick the Bruiser is about to be smashed into the ring apron, courtesy of Ray "The Crippler" Stevens.  They don't call him "Crippler" for nothing.
Now Stevens plans to stun Rufus Jones with the dreaded spike into the ring apron.  The announcers remind the fans that the edge of the ring is very solid and not well padded.


The older gentleman in the crowd sure doesn't want this huge shirtless brawler thrown into his lap.  Or does he?  

Back then, the fans didn't know you're supposed to move out of the way when the wrestlers bring the action into the seats.

Many wrestlers, including Jimmy Garvin, love to grow long, flowing hair.  I never understood why they do this, since it gives their opponents a way to drag them around and control them.  I always figured it would be smarter to shave your head as a wrestler!

In the caption, the author can't figure out why this handsome wrestler hates guys with blond hair, yet he loves any "well stacked chick" with long, golden locks.  I guess this was written before political correctness was invented.
The animal Batista uses his super-human strength to drive Maven's face into the ring apron.  Maven is dazed, so Batista stands over him, sticking his junk in poor Maven's face.

This Mexican Wrestling magazine features some stud being spiked into the metal turn-buckle hooks that connect to the ring post.  They must figure images of brutality will get the bloodthirsty fans to buy the magazine.

Here is yet another cover showing a handsome Mexican Luchadore being punished against the corner pads and turn-buckles.  The Mexican fans sure do love to see their heroes suffer.

OUCH! Here are a pair of beefy brawlers, one almost out cold with his face propped on the middle corner pad.  How about that silver speedo on the attacker!


Aye Carramba!

My favorite Mexican wrestler of all time, Hector Garza, is being man-handled by his cruel masked opponent.  But even while suffering, he looks caliente in those red bikini briefs


Now Hector is sporting a gold bikini that's about 4 sizes too small.  The bad guy drags the muscle-man around ringside by the hair, like a dog on a leash.
Speaking of muscular hunks, I think that's Tom Zenk (or maybe that's his look-a-like Johnny Gunn).  He looks vulnerable bare-chested in just a pair of trunks while his attacker is fully clothed.

Buck Zumhofe, wearing his usual tight-ass red trunks, did not appreciate being cracked into the top turn-buckle.  He snatches Steve Regal by the mullet and returns the favor.

As Pedro Moralez tosses the opponent's head into the corner, his partner yanks the padding away so the dude's face strikes the metal buckle.  I understand being competitive, but damn, why do they want to injure the poor guy???


Check out Bockwinkel's hairy body being busted up against the ring post by Bruiser Brody.  The caption is a clever little play on the word "support."  Maybe I should write more cute puns like that...

Vicious truly is "vicious" as he posts Robert Fuller into the post.  And could Fuller's speedo be any fuller??  

Vicious was a member of the Stud Stable, and he is still a stud, but his membership must not have been very stable.
Here is a big brute whipping another muscle-man into the steel ring-post.  Damn, I think the ring moved a few inches from that massive impact!

Here the fans witness the result of smashing a wrestler's head into the ring-post.  The cute victim's face is lacerated, blood trickling down his face.  Awwww, poor baby...
