I saw these great animations on Tumblr from the 9/10/16 event by Combat Zone Wrestling named “Down With The Sickness.” Dave Crist destroys David Starr in a brutal N0-Holds-Barred, No-DQ battle.
I like David Starr, the dude in blue and silver. I like his look, I like his moves, I like his gear. I always intend to blog more about him, so I decided to re-post these images (at least the ones of Starr in pain) and talk about why I like them.
I normally don’t get into these violent, table-busting wars — not enough hugging and holding for my tastes. But when a stud like David Starr gets brutalized, I make an exception and enjoy every minute of it.
Crist jabs a bunch of sharp sticks into Starr’s forehead like a crown of thorns. It just seems so wrong, so unfair and cruel, when a good looking guy like Starr must endure awful torture like this — and that’s what I get off on for some reason.
Of course Starr fought back and harmed Crist in turn, but I didn’t post any of those images. I chose to focus on Starr’s agony. You can go find the complete set of animations on Tumblr if you prefer back-and-forth.
This is not just your ordinary Off-the-Top-Rope DDT. A puddle of sharp thumbtacks have been spilled center ring — which Starr’s bloody forehead and handsome face is forced to kiss. This is SICK (and I’m down with it.)
It looks like a bunch of spit flies out of Starr’s mouth after this big boot — maybe too much spit. I think crazy Dave Crist force-fed Starr a mouthful of sharp metal tacks, and then kicked him in the face to ruin his tongue?
These animations present two sick dudes (and some ball busting chick) getting off on the violence, kinkiness, and sadism found in this style of wrestling. Like dogs on a fish carcass, they roll themselves around in thumbtacks, broken tables, blood, sharp pointy sticks — and they love doing it.
Typically only ugly goons in gimp masks get off on this sort of deviance, so to see a Soap Opera hunk like David Starr getting Down with the Sickness makes it even more compelling to watch.
