I used to dream that someone would launch a Wrestling Network — a channel on my cable system with nothing but rare and exciting pro wrestling matches 24/7.
Then about 10 years ago, I heard there was a Wrestling Network in England and I was so jealous (those lucky British wankers with all their hot wrestling from around the world…)
Well the other day, I stumbled upon a free on-line Wrestling-Network.net, basically the sort of access to 24/7 wrestling I used to fantasize about. What the hell?! How did this website exist and I didn’t know it?
And HOW is Wrestling Network website able to stream shows for free that normally charge a fee like WWE NXT?! And WHY am I paying for cable (and WWE Network) when the Wrestling Network has the same shows for FREE?!? And HOW did I get so lucky in my life that I have so much excellent wrestling content to enjoy for free?!?
(There is advertising on the Wrestling Network by the way, nothing is totally free. Commercials play around the margins in the main browser window and in brief interruptions within the video stream you are watching, but not a ton of intrusive pop-ups. To be able to watch great pro wrestling action you would not otherwise get to see at no out-of-pocket expense, it is totally worth it!)
Most of the weekly wrestling shows available on the Wrestling Network I already record and watch on my DVR, such as Raw, Smackdown, Lucha Underground, and New Japan. One exception is Impact Wrestling which I have not been able to watch since it moved to Destination America earlier this year. Until now.
The images seen in this gallery are from a recent episode of Impact which is available weekly on the Wrestling Network. Per usual, Eric Young wears little sexy trunks to continue his feud with Bobby Roode (we saw an earlier barn-burner between these two hunks in my “Pile Driver Position” gallery.) Roode dominates the early minutes of the fight, even tossing the great EY right out of the ring!
Before the match began, the two rivals had gotten on microphones to utter threatening, sexually suggestive comments and established this as a submission-only match:
Young: “Tonight, I’m gonna make you submit. I’m gonna break your will. I’m gonna bend you to my will. Tonight, Bobby Roode, I’m gonna make you tap.”
Roode: “Tonight, Eric Young, I’m not gonna tap. I’m gonna make your ass tap. I’m gonna make you cry like the little BITCH you are!
Therefore the only way to win is to make the other guy’s ass tap (or possibly to tap the other guy’s ass??)
The turning point occurs when Roode tweaks his left knee and Young begins to work on his injured leg. We see a bunch of leglocks and kicks to the hammy, which Roode sells beautifully. (Now who is “crying like a little BITCH??”) The commentators point out a sneaky little plastic brace on the back of EY’s calf that will give him extra leverage on his patented Figure 4 Leglock:
“On the back of the right calf of Eric Young, he’s got that, kind of like a plastic, heavy thick plastic brace… You put a Figure Four on someone and you’re wearing that, that’ll help prevent any sweat that’s on the legs or on the boots, the rubber gets slippery, that’ll prevent that.”
Young slides outside the ring to prance around in his shiny silver bikini and to wrap Roode’s thick legs around the steel post. The commentators begin to verbally stroke us by teasing an upcoming Figure 4 Leglock which will be especially destructive because of Young’s calf brace:
In the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen Eric Young implement this Figure Four Leglock. He forced Austin Aries to tap out. But he’s got that brace you see on his calf there. He’s used that to his advantage!
They also discuss the pain and injury Roode is feeling to keep us psychologically fixated on the damage to his poor knee:
Bobby Roode is like a one-legged man out here — trying to FIGHT BACK against the pain!
Finally Young fulfills our cravings by slapping on a climactic, highly satisfying Figure Four. He pours on the pressure, bumping and grinding violently. The faces of both men are twisted in pure ecstasy as they toss their heads back and squint their eyes, trying to endure the pain or pleasure of the experience.
Big tough-talking Bobby Roode is bested again by Young (just as he was when I wrote about the Piledriver Position), forced to tap and admit his inferior power and masculinity. Maybe if he wore sexier, skimpier little briefs in the ring like EY wears, he would be more effective — it’s worth a try!
I’m glad I found Wrestling Network with its tons of free content! I thought my wrestling cup was full already — I didn’t realize it’s actually a bucket! You can never have too much pro wrestling.
This is excellent. There’s obviously such a long history between these two that makes this turn with Young being the dominant alpha male even better. Way back when they were in the Canadian faction, I remember Roode was more alpha then he went on to be champ, TNA’s big man. So seeing Young come back beefier, bearded and on top multiple times is super-hot.
And no one uses “tap” and “ass” together multiple times without getting the double meaning.
