Tough Guys at Work and Play

Brute Baynard vs Flash LaCash, Heel Bash 3 (BG East)

The previous two numbers of the Heel Bash series stinted on the heels, basically having heels beat down smaller, less beefy hunks. In other words, basically business as usual at BG East. For Heel Bash 3, the heels turn on each other in the absence of their natural prey, and the ensuing hammering made my balls sweat. 

First, we get super juicy bad boys Brute and Flash. They're big and brick-colored, a color that signifies they are not just Monday-morning quarterbacks. The setup is that the Boss booked the two as team partners to beat up a couple of pretty boys, who are no shows. Or so says Brute, who can't remember their names, but he's positive they fled because he terrifies them. And, if true,  I wouldn't blame them. Besides the 1.5-inch solid beefsteak covering his smooth body, Baynard is excitable - not cheerleader excitable, but guy-whose-pickup-you-just-scraped excitable.

Flash is not convinced they were ever intended to partner up. He talks back, gets sassy - even insulting Brute's purple trunks - and so, right off, the fight is percolating. Brute bellows, "There are people looking forward to seeing me kick the shit out of somebody." After the bell sounds (not soon enough to suit Baynard), Brute kicks Flash in the nuts, then grinds the guy's ear against his steely quads. With his short fuse and arrogance, he looks like a shoo-in for ultimate victor. He brutalizes LaCash for six minutes before Flash starts firing back. At this early point, not even a third of the way through the match, both heels are manufacturing sweat like they turned on a tap.

Initially, LaCash comes off as easygoing, especially in contrast to Baynard's hotheadedness, but the guy wrestles hard. He's all over Brute when they get down and grapple on the canvas, and he's as ready and able as Brute to claw and punch and slam, too. These heels are well matched - Flash is an inch taller, Brute is 10 pounds heavier. Both are big men - beasts, even. The give and take is seismic in the way that only pros can do it. They use the ropes to grind each other down. At one point, the fight rolls out of the ring. Count neither man out until the final 90 seconds, when the brutality reaches a peak, ultimately leaving one man collapsed and unconscious as the victor exits the ring.
