Some of the lesser known film Tarzans looked hot. I'm thinking of Herman Brix, who wore both a loincloth and a tux with panache.TabelettesdeChocalathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687401813231263094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897648734607335225.post-56592458402262735762012-11-09T12:25:33.787-05:002012-11-09T12:25:33.787-05:00A coup de foudre: Prince Devitt.
Have you noticed...A coup de foudre: Prince Devitt.<br /><br />Have you noticed that how few of the wrestlers who use Tarzan as part of their moniker are Tarzanesque? Among the pros, luchador Tarzan Boy started out as a fair approximation, and he's the best I know of.TabelettesdeChocalathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687401813231263094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897648734607335225.post-84868426886341109572012-11-09T10:56:12.024-05:002012-11-09T10:56:12.024-05:00I'm still thinking about it.

His movies usually involved amazing action and some great villains.<br /><br />If I could weigh in, Tyler Black, Adam Cole or Jake Jenkins as a young Tarzan would be amazing. I think they have the athleticism, although Jake is a little short. I see Kid Karisma or Morgan Cruise as the cruel hunter for this type of Tarzan.<br /><br />For a bigger Tarzan, I think Mitch Colby has the body, but it's Braden Charron that's very Gordon Scott. I see Cage Thunder or Bulldog Barzini as the best villain in this case.AlexMiller72https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342817979573894992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897648734607335225.post-20448290074783569402012-11-09T06:01:32.385-05:002012-11-09T06:01:32.385-05:00Ooh, a question!

No question about that. Today, I would be laying a lot of wrestlers on my casting couch before making my final pick. Big Sexy springs to mind, but the tattoos might be even harder to explain than the smallpox vaccination scars that showed up on so many earlier movie Tarzans. Digital technology and makeup would have to remove the body art from a lot of my candidates, come to think of it. Jake Jenkins has the right soulful look, and he would look great in a loincloth, though he is a bit shorter than I would like the jungle lord to be. Gil Barrios would be an unconventional choice, but he certainly has got the wild-child look down. I am pretty sure my final callback would include Alexi Adamov, Adam Cole, Impact, Seth Rollins, Eddie Ryan, and Josh Steel. Since Weissmuller is (for me) still the total Tarzan package, so to speak, my inclination right this minute would be to run with tall, beefy, and poker-faced Trent Blayze at BG East.
