Norman DOMINATED

Norman Smiley’s sexy physique is dominated and humiliated by tough heel Fit Finlay. Finlay knows exactly how to work over a muscle hunk, and it always gets me hard. Norman’s thick pecs and big biceps caught my eye back in the day. The worst thing he ever did was put a shirt on and become screamin Norman.

What Turned me Gay (Not Really) - Arn Anderson

The point of this blog is to examine why I like the things I like.  So this post, inspired by the sidelineland.com blog, takes a tongue and cheek look into "what made me gay (not really)".  So without further delay, here is:

What turned me gay (not really) ... 

WCW Heels - specifically Arn Anderson turned me gay. 

My first male lust that I can recall was for Alex Wright.  It was easy to explain why I wanted the guy - good looking, a can-do attitude, and a hot body, were just some of the reasons why he was my guy.  Even non-wrestling enthusiasts are attracted to Alex Wright, as he is undoubtedly a hot guy.  But digging a little deeper there was another wrestler I pined for and in many ways, better explained my attraction to wrestling - Arn Anderson.  

In my youth, my straight friends all wanted to watch WWF, attracted to their slick productions and exciting storylines, while I gravitated more towards WCW.  WCW to me was more, well raw for lack of a better term (ironic because WWF Raw was a thing).  WCW was raw in terms of introducing me to fresh faced new jobbers, brutal heels, and raw ring action with fewer theatrics.  To me, this was real(er) wrestling.

Now real wrestling wouldn't be complete without real heels.  I've mentioned before that this was a divergence between my friends and I, and writing about this now makes it all the more clear; My straight friends watched wrestling for Heroes and Villains, while I watched it for Jobbers and Heels.  All this to say that Heels like Arn Anderson were pivotal to my evolution into liking erotic wrestling.  And yes, I know that Arn Anderson was at WWF and other orgs once upon a time, but that time was well before I really got into wrestling.

I need a heel-O, holding out for a heel-O

Watching Arn Anderson in action, I could finally put into images and moves what I longed for in a wrestler.  Arn Anderson wasn't a sex symbol, at least not by the traditional definition, but something about him just did it for me.  He had that hairy chest, muscled - but not overly shaped body, and above all that overwhelming confidence.  To give some context here, the late 90's/00's was also the golden age of the boy band, a time when society was screaming about the virtues of being young, smooth, and beautiful, all of which conflicted with me wanting a burly, masculine heel.  

Even now it's hard to articulate what exactly this brought to the table.  What I couldn't put into words, Heels allowed me see on television. Heels exposed me to the world of a hard nosed, intense wrestler by the name of Arn Anderson.  Not many other heels stick out in my mind, I do recall being fixated on Scott Hall for awhile - hot for sure, but not the it factor that Arn seemed to have.

Perhaps my affinity for Arn Anderson was because I wanted to be that guy - the no nonsense, strong but silent type.  Perhaps I just wanted a daddy type, who knows.  All I know is that the image of Arn Anderson schooling a young jobber is forever etched into my mind and without a doubt, something that made me gay (not really).

WILD CARD SUNDAY Shark Boy in WCW?! (Saturday Night - 2.26.00)

Yes, before regular old Shark Boy entered the IMPACT Zone and then started to turn into "Stone Cold Steve Austin if he traded Stevewisers for Clam Juice", he was in the land Where the Big Boys Play...

and what great timing, too.

I have been asked so many times about why I am not a big follower of AEW. I have also been told I'm not a true wrestling fan as I am a female (as a 47 year old, I have had this thrown at me since I was 12). As for AEW I don't hate or resent it. I don't hate wrestlers who go there. I have tried so many times to get into it but I just can't. It's one of those things. I don't believe fans should feel obligated to watch one brand but they shouldn't be accused of not being real wrestling fans if they only watch one brand.

This is my experience as a fan. As a kid I grew up going to gyms and bingo halls with my dad watching British wrestling (including the British Bulldog's debut). I then had the joy of WWE (then WWF), WCW, USWA and GLOW on TV. My weekends were awesome. Because WCW was on so late at night we'd sneak snacks into my brother's room in the day then at night my sister and I would quietly creep into my brother's room and the 3 of us would watch it crowded around his mini TV until our dad caught us because my brother laughed so loudly at Paul Heyman's frustration with Bagwell. We found out dad was watching it too so he let us watch it with him on Saturday nights.

As the teen years came on, cousins would watch with us and wrestle with us (some fun times). We started going to events including Summerslam 92. That was crazy for me because I was 3 when my dad took me to my first event and the Bulldog debuted. Now I was watching him main event.

ECW came out and there was more for me as a wrestling fan to get excited about.

As I went to university I made more wrestling based friends and saw more indy stuff which was great after the demise of territorial wrestling in America where the likes of the Von Erichs came through.

That's when I saw the debut of someone my age and the crush hit lol. AJ Styles. He was exciting to watch. I followed his career completely. My attention was then split between WWE and TNA when I left uni and began teacher training. My neighbour was my wrestling viewing buddy and he used to get tired of hearing about TNA as he only liked WWE but then he hated me talking wrestling crushes but that's another story.

I kept up with bits of ROH and NJPW. When AJ left TNA to go independent I was back to watching just WWE while following his career. His last independent match before his WWE Royal Rumble debut was at a spot up the road from where I live (where my dad took me when I was 3). I remember feeling like that little kid again.

Skip forward to a nervous breakdown, I was in a psych ward voluntary to avoid legal committing for 3 months. I was diagnosed with bipolar and bpd. My sister brought me my tablet. They would charge it in the office and then let me have it. It was Wrestlemania weekend and I remember watching it and beginning to feel like I used to and it sparked the road to recovery from a dark spot.

That's when I realised that the WWE had been my biggest source of comfort since childhood.

As I've said before, I can't get into AEW and I've tried. TNA lost its spark (for me personally) when AJ Styles left.

But I am a true fan. I remember moments that I shared with family. When it was the four big events in the wrestling calendar only - the family would watch together eating a buffet and treating it like a party.

As my niece grew up, she found love for the Undertaker not realising his debut as Taker went back to when I was 13.

And now my little person (I'm her guardian), she began to walk because of Big E. She saw him dancing with Kofi and Xavier and began to crawl to the TV, pulled herself up to dance with him. I then kept telling she’d have to walk over to him to dance. Low and behold, she started walking.

Not every memory is happy. Kerry Von Erich's suicide, Sherri, Miss Elizabeth, Owen Hart, Eddie Guerrero, the Benoit Tragedy (some hate me for saying there's more to it than what was shared and if you knew Kevin Sullivan you'd understand why it never made sense) and more recently Bray Wyatt which I had to experience twice because early last year I was admitted to hospital with a DKA was in a coma for a few days with brain swelling and have forgotten so many things since it happened. I'd forgotten he'd died. I told one of my nurses I had 3 weeks to learn to walk again and be home for Wrestlemania and see Bray knock it out of the park. She told me he'd died and I had to go through grief a second time for him. But still wrestling was a catalyst in my recovery.

So no, I don't watch AEW (my brother and nephew always keep me updated on that front) and I only really watch WWE now but it does not mean I am not a true fan. Wrestling still brings me the same joy it did as a kid and I still tell people the same thing then as I do today. Whether you watch one or several organisations, you ARE a fan. Don't feel devalued by someone else's opinion. Wrestling is wrestling, people shouldn't be made to feel inferior by other fans if they don't choose to watch a particular brand. Wrestling fans get looked down upon all the time because people go on about it being fake. We don't need to belittle each other too.
