Back in the olden days (the Big 80’s), muscles were something to be proud of — to worship and appreciate. And the pro wrestlers would gladly provide the drooling fans with a Gun Show, right in the middle of their matches, or while posing in victory after the match.
Check out Rick Rude drawing a stark contrast between his powerful muscles (himself standing erect and hard) and the limp, loose, weak body of helpless Jake the Snake. Now that’s what I love to see as a wrestlin’ fan: a cocky show-off flexing his biceps to humiliate the beaten man laying at his feet. Give me more of THIS and I will be a happy (and horny) wrestling fan.
In the 90’s. the feminists came along and re-defined bicep flexing as an outdated act of an ignorant neanderthal, or perhaps the posturing of a small-dicked, cheesy D-Bag. Their penis envy, their grasping for power and control, led them to discredit the ultimate show of masculine pride and power — the Bicep Flex.
They sought to discredit and subjugate the powerful male by laughing at him, by making him feel ashamed of his body. And so we saw less and less muscle flexing (and more small, skinny guys) in the wrestling ring.
But lately we’ve seen the resurgence of the cocky Bicep Flex in matches with more proud Alpha Males offering a good long look at the physique they worked so hard to construct. Is this a throwback gesture — an ironic reference to days gone by when men were still men, and proud of it?
Or is this a sign of things to come — a rebirth of pride in masculinity, strength, muscles, and power? Maybe someday soon, men will even stop removing all the hair from their bodies… Dare we dream??
Or maybe the wrestlers just know that a lot of people get off on hard bodies, muscles, and strength, so they’re showing their muscles to encourage us to watch their matches and download their photos and videos. Hey — it worked on me.
