Gabe Steel vs Jason Anders, Match 779 (UCW)

The sweat thickens the air around Gabe and Anders as the merciless match approaches its climax. Unevenly paired in size, they are a fairly close match in big dick attitude. Jason is one of the best sellers of pain and humiliation at UCW. He may be THE best because his gaunt face and bony physique so dramatically push his suffering past the limits of human endurance. Put in similar situations, Gabe is good, too, rising above his hallmark broad smile, and Jason's scene-stealing grimaces might have inspired Steel to up the agony quotient.

With the earth reportedly losing 1,200,000,000,000 tons of ice a year and mega-magnates seeking new real estate on other planets, this sort of Mad Max level of anguish may become the norm or even amplify into Thunderdome-like bloodsports. For the time being, it's well-played entertainment of an admittedly perverse sort, but I have come to embrace it without noticeable embarrassment.

Physically, Anders is the Baryshnikov of extreme torment, but he gives as good as he gets in this match. As mismatched as they are in heft and experience, Gabe and Jason play off each other very well for over ninety percent of this battle. Creative use of the ropes and turnbuckles contributes to the fight's success and over-the-top-ness. This is a good and messy brawl with loads of dick-grabbing by two consummate performers..
