Rival Time

Tanner Ripley vs Mason Brooks, Motel Madness 20 (BG East)

This match hits close to home for me, reminding me of olden days when my college buddies and I checked into motels to wrestle and not get caught in the act. At least once that I remember, we caught the National Wrestling Alliance on TV and mimicked somebody we liked at the time - Brisco, probably, given the timeframe, or maybe one of the Funk brothers. Good times!

The setup for Ripley vs Brooks is significantly different. After hitchhiking to the city, Tanner gets a pal who works at the motel to let him in Mason's room. Mason hasn't checked in yet, so Tanner showers, throws on a bathrobe, hops on the bed, and pours himself some bedside champagne, anxious to see the expression on his buddy's face. No sooner is he settled in than Mason shows up. Mason is taken aback. "I'm at work!" he protests, stunned by the surprise, but Tanner will not take no for an answer.

The interchange provides clues to Ripley and Brooks' backstory. In another city, they once were friends, partners, perhaps a couple, who bonded over their love of wrestling. Somehow circumstances separated the two. When Tanner heard through mutual friends that Mason was attending a conference in a not-so-distant city, he hitchhiked to the location and convinced a friend who works at the motel to let him into Brooks' room. 

Who can resist when Tanner is sitting on your bed with his robe open, revealing his trim muscularity, just begging for somebody to rassle? Both Tanner and Mason are masters of seduction, and Tanner's pleas get me hard, so why does Mason tease us and Ripley? Maybe "tease" answers that question. It's good to rev up to such moments in life.  Long story short, Ripley coaxes Brooks out of his business clothes and onto the bed. 

I can see why Ripley would go to the trouble of tracking Brooks down. I can see why it takes only five minutes to get Brooks out of his business wear. God-damn, I love a bedroom tussle!  This one in particular will be watched at my house over and over. You bring two hot exes together, miles away from their respective homes, things are bound to happen.
