The Richard Land channel on YouTube, which posts hours and hours of the greatest classic Rasslin’ in the world, recently uploaded the video of a 1979 event at Madison Square Garden.
Tito Santana is in Tag Team action against the arrogant blond Valiant brothers. Tito has a tag team partner, but let’s just pretend he is out-numbered two against one.
How I wish they still strangled guys with the tag rope in the corner!
Tito does well early in the bout, but at about 5:00 into the video, the Heels rake his eyes and take him into their corner to ruin him.
The wrestling ring becomes a very dangerous and sadistic place for poor Tito when Jerry Valiant wraps a length of rope around his neck and proceeds to strangle him. Oh you fat sleazy blond cheaters — I love you.
We tuned in for wrestling, but instead we get kinky choke porn.
This was how Heel wrestlers looked and acted in the 1970’s, and oh how we loved it. They were bawdy, beefy and smothering — they got off on torturing smaller guys. And they wore those spectacular long tights, with a contrasting stripe down the side.
Maybe it’s because I grew up on this style of raunchy rasslin, but this video is doing all kinds of good things for me.
Tito sells it perfectly, a sublime expression of pain on his face, his long legs sprawled out all over the ring, reaching up with an arm, stiffened with rigor mortis.
Technically may be legal (but not very nice!)
The big fat blonds brutally torture poor Tito, one holding his wrists so the other can stomp on his ribs. Some of you may be thinking — those Valients aren’t even very attractive with their over-weight physiques and pale skin. But I don’t care — put them in classic style tights and let them destroy a heroic pretty-boy without mercy, and they’re beautiful in my book.
Pulling Tito’s pants adds a sexual vibe to the punishment.
Other stuff happened in this long match — Tito’s partner got involved, the blond bastards were made to seem clumsy and foolish, etc. I did not bother posting images of all that other action because it was only the scenes featuring Tit0’s Torture that really held my interest. Once Tito breaks free from the blond bullies, I recommend clicking back to the beginning of the video and pretending they worked him over again.
