Noooo! Don’t leave me!
First they ban skanks from flashing beaver at the Grammy’s, now it’s a no-go for wrestlers’ bulges in the Olympics. This week the powers that be voted by secret ballot to drop wrestling as a sport from the Olympics beginning with the 2020 Games. Or as Hendrik would put it, one down 24 sports to go. With banishing the sports of wrestling, the modern pentathlon, taekwondo, and field hockey to select from, the IOC went with the one that has been a part of the modern Games since their inception in 1896. And that effectively reduces the number of male bulges on display at future gams. Thank the gods they didn’t mess with the divers. Gay male fans of the Olympics are sure to be disappointed, but then maybe that’s only fair since the IOC dropped softball from the 2012 Games, thereby crushing the hopes – and interest – of legions of lesbians all over the world.
Excited to be the winner.
The decision has sparked a huge outcry among wrestling fans, with the MMA leading the battle. Not because Mixed Martial Arts actually has anything to do with wrestling as it is conducted as an Olympic sport, but rather because the UFC gets all the press these days. Combatants from both organizations like to think they are real macho men so maybe now that wrestling is headed off into the sunset MMA fighters will quite ruining their lines by wearing over-sized cups and start fighting in bulge-worthy VPL wrestling singlets instead. Real men go commando whenever possible. I’m already in love with Benson Henderson and a revealing uniform can only make my interest in him rise. Often. Plus it would be cool to see which part of his Filipino/African heritage is represented below the belt.
I’m guessing Ben Henderson’s Filipino genes rule where it counts.
While the IOC’s decision is final, wrestling can still apply for inclusion in the Games, though the sport will have to duke it out with squash, roller skating, climbing, wakeboarding, and wushu for the wild card spot. The Olympics have already added golf and rugby to their roster for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. I can understand the outrage over the IOC’s decision to drop a sport that has been associated with the Olympics as far back as the ancient Games of Greece, but think there should be an even higher degree of outrage over their decision to not drop Russia as the host country for the 2014 Olympics in light of that country’s recent efforts to criminalize homosexuality, which I suspect is just a ploy to insure the gay boys don’t walk away with all of the gold medals in ice skating.
So in honor of that which we may soon miss, here’s a photographic salute to the mighty bulges of wrestling. Or of you want to watch the most homoerotic clip of the most bulgingly hard wrestling match not filmed for a gay porn site, click here.
‘Cuz it’s not all about just what you’re packing up front.

I can’t believe that they voted that way. As far as I know, from the history that I learned, wrestling has been a part of the Olympic Games even back in the very early Greek times. Wrestling should have been preserved just from that perspective, when for publicity purposes they are always trying to present these modern games as some sort of continuation of those early days.
Wrestling is one of those sports that is accesible to most people that want to try it. It doesn’t require a lot of expensive equipment and it really doesn’t even require a lot of fancy sport specific arenas. It is a real peoples sport. Of course it does take years of training to reach Olympic level, but there isn’t a sport in the modern Olympics that doesn’t. Still, most countries in the world could field a wrestling team, if they wanted to (although admittedly, most would not get very far amongst the world powers, but again, that happens in every sport).
I guess I’m really just going to miss all those young, athletic, tightly muscled bodies rolling around and grappling around on the floor, ass grabbing and thigh spreading and head squeezing in those tight singlets.
Damn the “authorities” really know how to f**k up a good thing.
True, but I think the blame lays with the sport not the IOC. If they’d gone back to wrestling in the nude it would be responsible for the most popular events at the Games and would have never been dropped.
Good point; nude wrestling, but I can see the people in power in this sport immediately outlawing that practice!
I was gonna say the decision to drop wrestling was because there is little opportunity for brand placement but then remembered an American runner auctioned off his upper arm as a spot for a temporary product logo placement.
The IOC could raise tons of cash allowing corporations to brand athletes’ bodies. And even more auctioning off the right to be the one to apply the paint. God knows I’d pay big bucks to tag Tom Daley. And Jake Dalton. And . . . damn! Who knew being a sports fan could get so expensive?!
Oh, I have always known that sports is big business.
However, this nonsense of banning bulges is beyond bullshit!
But this was a sport I really enjoyed watching!
Yikes!
Hendrik!
You don’t just blurt something like that out.
You need to prepare us first, start off gently. Ya know?
Banning the bulge………….you can’t be serious. What the hell else do we watch the Olympics for? What about all the women with those chest wallopers bouncing up and down………..blatant discrimination.
lol.
Well, at least we still have the track and field events!
Ban wrestling? It’s been part of the Olympics since 708 BC ! I hope there will be a protest from classicists, too.
I just read that wrestling is the fastest growing sport in the U.S., I’m sure there will be lots of opposition to this move and hope the IOC reconsiders.
You know, as soon as I read the name of this post, my first thought was “What is this shit now?” Well, clearly, some people have WAY TOO MUCH time on their hands.
What are they going to do: castrate male athletes?
Really, nonsense, bullshit, and yes, as a Gay Man I want to see as much of the goods as I can.
Boy, if they are trying to get me to watch sports, they are going about it the WRONG way!
Well, the Republicans can’t be the only ones making stupid decisions.
