review of Wrestle Hard, 2010-02-09

I was excited when I was assigned to review Wrestle Hard. The online gay porn world has needed another good wrestling site for a long time. There's just not enough out there to satisfy gay wrestling fetishists. And Wrestle Hard looks hot. It looks like the real deal – two masculine guys on the front page, wearing boxing gear and sparring.

The men of Wrestle Hard are hot – masculine men in their twenties and thirties, ranging from athletic to well-built muscle men and bodybuilders. Most of the men appearing on the site are Hungarian, and in fact, Wrestle Hard is the brainchild of director and gay porn star Roland Dane (himself born in Budapest, Hungary), photographer Attila G, and cameraman Sacanny. Roland Dane was a Thai boxer for many years and he had a long-standing fantasy of defeating another man in a sweaty sparring session; and his prize was getting to top his defeated companion, making him service his big, uncut cock in whatever way Dane pleased.

So each scene begins this way: two men boxing, fighting or wrestling on the mats, building up a sweat and the testosterone begins to flow. The sparring lasts for a few minutes, and then, the winner forces the loser to offer up his butt for some hot and sweaty fucking.

Wrestle Hard has the potential to be a great gay wrestling porn site. First and foremost, the site is small, however they just opened on the 10th July 2008 and although it didn't update for the first couple months, it has added 10 videos in the last 90 days, so although it's not updating weekly, it's updating around every 9 days on average, and there have also been 10 behind the scenes videos added, although none have been added in the last 3 weeks.

The videos are a decent screen size at 510 x 350 and they're reasonably clear. But the problem with Flash videos is that unless they are very good quality they tend to fall apart and pixelate when there's a lot of movement in the frame. So when I was watching some close-up fucking, the picture quality degrades irritatingly with some pixelation. The videos on Wrestle Hard are only available as Flash streaming files on the site. There are no video downloads.

The site currently costs $19.95 monthly for a recurring membership, and this isn't bad considering the amount of content available. I think as long as Wrestle Hard keeps updating so it can continue to grow that the site will really begin to take off.

Wrestle Hard has added a board, but so far the only thing there is a test message. Hopefully in the future, they'll start a forum about the updates and one about the models and one about wrestling in general, and start a few posts so the members will feel encouraged to post.

My final thought on Wrestle Hard is that it's not what I was expecting. I was hoping for an amateur gay wrestling site featuring guys who are really into wrestling and fighting. But Wrestle Hard features gay porn stars and models, some of whom really don't know how to wrestle. Some of the men do, but others are just thrown around like a scarecrow and don't really know how to fight back. I think the best thing that Wrestle Hard director could do is to hire some real gay amateur wrestlers, turn on the camera, and resist the urge to direct - allow the guys who are really turned on by this scene to do their thing. And then, continue to seek out amateur guys who really love doing this. It'll make for a much better site in the end and gay wrestling fetishists will love it.

Wrestle Hard is an original idea for a gay porn site and it should do well with some more content and regular updates. The monthly membership fee is reasonable for the amount of content available and the photos and videos are of good quality and sizes. The site does update, although not regularly, so I have hopes that it will continue to grow. With 17 wrestling videos, 15 behind the scenes vids and 26 pic sets, there's enough to spend some time with, although it's a shame the videos aren't downloadable. Wrestling fans are going to want to take a look, and in spite of Wrestle Hard's shortcomings it's still definitely worth a look.

Things we liked:

• Exclusive content
• Wrestling - good unusual theme
• No DRM used
• Dates on videos

Things we didn't like:

• Site is on the small side
• Videos not offered for download
• Irregular updates - no actual update schedule
