"You're Mine"

Brendan Byers vs Archie Paige, Beasts - Catalog 39 (MuscleBoy)

Black mats replace the usual bright orange, as if to underscore the gothic violence to come. Of course, hard, grueling action is guaranteed when Brendan Byers steps onto the MuscleBoy mat, regardless of its color. New hire Archie Paige, meaty and resilient, is a big fan of Byers'. In the opening meet and greet, Brendan accepts the kid's exuberant high praise but reminds him to keep his fingers to himself and away from the official "Muscle Boy" T-shirt Byers wears. Then, there's an awkward moment when Brendan admits he's never read Archie's fan mail. The slight does not sound accidental. Brendan knows how to stir up a fight.

"I don't mind showing a FAN a thing or two about how to wrestle," says Brendan. Archie perceives the implied snub of Brendan's labeling him a mere "fan," but admits he's eager to learn from the master bruiser. "Let's go for it, man," Archie exudes, brimming with optimism. "I'm having a good time." Brendan shoves Archie to the wall and slams his forearm to the newbie's chest and ribs. "You sure you're ready?" Brendan adds, then hauls Paige up high and slams him to the mat. Brendan squats on the kid, burying Archie's face under his crotch.

Next, Brendan presses Archie against the wall and chokes, while pushing his face to the kid's face, growling and baring his teeth as Brendan's body mass eclipses Archie's. Then, he gets Archie in a bear hug, hoarsely whispering, lips to Paige's ear, "You're mine, boy. You're mine." A camel clutch and some hair pulling follow. Brendan asks if Archie is ready to surrender. Archie, in a state of bruised and aching ecstasy, refuses to give. He wants more. The kid's a fighter.

Archie gets a hope spot midway through the video. For six minutes, he controls the heal, delivering a hard blow to the big guy's ego. For me, fighting back - even ineffectually - is part of the fun in taking on a big brute like Byers. I think Archie is hot, if a little wet behind the ears, and I'm licking my lips over the merciless pounding Brendan gives the boy when he regains control.
