Out With The Old: Ab Stretches

I was able to salvage these old images of the Ab Stretch that I had collected (and backed up) before my Great Hard Drive Crash of 2015.  I suppose I had better get these posted safely online before the next catastrophe happens and I possibly lose everything!

Here is a Fantastic — Bobby Fulton — trapped and twisted in Dennis Condrey’s Ab Stretch.  I recently posted an article (see “Well Worth the Price“) describing a classic battle between the Fantastics and the Midnight Express, but I don’t recall a gorgeous Ab Stretch like this (and I’d remember something like a hot Ab Stretch during a match.)

But of course, my article focused on the punishment inflicted on Tommy Rogers whereas this photo is all about the abuse of Bobby Fulton.

According to the caption they posted under this hot 2-on-1 Ab Stretch:  “Reader Michael Long says this match at SuperClash III was disappointing.”

Well you listen to me, Mr. Michael Long:  any match where Baby-Face Robert Gibson is twisted and tortured Two-on-On is NOT “disappointing.”  It’s HOT — got it?!

And what is wrong with these referees who seem to go blind suddenly when a cheater slaps on the Ab Stretch, and then grabs his partner’s hand for greater leverage?  Do they think, by ignoring this blatant cheating, that they’re going to get the audience all hot and bothered, turned on by the victim’s unfair suffering??  (Mission accomplished.)

Below we see the same gullible jobber in those purple and black tights suffering in a different opponent’s illegal Two-on-One rib stretcher…

I am usually not a big Harley Race fan, and definitely not a Wahoo McDaniel fan, so I was somewhat surprised to find this classic Ab Stretch photo lurking in my archives.  Probably it was the skimpy little black briefs on Race that drew me to this image.  It almost looks like Wahoo has been pulling up on Race’s trunks, yanking them up high on his hip just before the photo was snapped.

Or maybe it was Race’s thick physique that prompted me to save this image — the big Rough-neck who is normally dominant now held in a helpless position for us to check out at our leisure.

Seeing Race trapped and bent over helplessly like that, you kind of want to run your hands over his exposed stomach and chest, right?  How can Wahoo resist reaching over to tweak those big inviting nipples?

I actually had uploaded a collection of old Ab Stretch images like this back in June 2013.  The occasion was to kick off a new series I was launching on this Blog called “Out With The Old” where I would periodically clean up my hard drive by uploading photos I had saved rather than hoarding them to myself like some crazy cat lady with a houseful of “treasures.”

But I didn’t keep up the effort consistently, instead preferring to search for the next new thing (like a typical hoarder — oh no, maybe I DO have a problem!)  Maybe my old hard drive would not have crashed and burned if I had kept up with my housekeeping.  So my intention as of today is to upload old images every week rather than hoarding them.

And speaking of my “Out With the Old” article from June 2013, I went and reviewed it today.  The article is written around a rummage sale motif, exploring the connection that is felt when you offer your old treasures to someone else with the same turn-ons (such as wrassling) and the intimate feelings that occur when pawing through another guy’s keepsakes.

I am mentioning my old article because I was just thinking:  Wow, that was some damn good writing back in 2013 if I do say so myself! There are also some more great Ab Stretch photos too in case you haven’t had your fill from today’s post so feel free to check it out.

Check out veteran Christopher Daniels, torturing some beefy rookie in a series of stretches.  First he applies a standing variation, driving the point of his elbow into the poor kid’s ribcage. The ref in the above photo looks like he will be thinking of this torture scene frequently in the coming weeks.

Later Daniels takes the torture down to a seated position, continuing to wring out the rookie’s powerful body to teach him that it takes more than muscle to dominate in pro wrestling.  It also takes a sadistic attitude and the knowledge of how to apply agonizing moves like these painful stretches.  I think it was probably that expression of pure hell on the victim’s face that prompted me to save this image and hoard it for a couple years.
