Rear Naked Review 2020 Part 2: Mikey's picks

-

 

Better late than never, right? lol

In my previous post and first part of my 2020 review, I shared what all of you wonderful KSW readers selected as your favorites in each category for the Knockout Awards. In this post I will give my choices for some of the categories, along with a few other ramblings.

Favorite Wrestler of 2020

KSW readers selected Gabe Steel
 
 
Favorite Heel of 2020

KSW readers selected Gabe Steel


Favorite Jobber of 2020

🌟It's a match! KSW readers also selected Joey McCoy

Favorite Debut of 2020

KSW readers selected Bull Barrett
 

Favorite Company of 2020

 
KSW readers selected Muscleboy Wrestling
 
 
Favorite Knockout of 2020 



So those are my selections of favorites from the year gone by. Interesting that I only sided with KSW readers in one category lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know the pandemic put a squash on a lot of companies being able to film and wrestlers ability to travel. There are several guys I hope make a return this year that we haven't seen in quite a while. Dawson Delight, KARN, Viking, Nick Diesel, Tyson the Hammer, and Derrick Cole to name a few. I know some of these guys will probably never return, but I can hope lol. 
 
Most of all, I would love to see Kenny Star make a comeback this year! I can safely call him my favorite underground wrestler. Even in his absence from the scene, no other wrestler has been able claim that title with me

 

His UCW match against Derrick Cole is easily one of my favorite ring matches! (You can check out my review here.)
 
There are some other things I wanted to include in this post, but I think I will save it for a future post so I'm not just cramming a somewhat random collection of thoughts into one update. 
 
I have a couple of reviews coming this weekend and the following week, including my custom match from Weekend Wrestling which I believe is going to be released this weekend. I could be wrong but I know it's going to be coming out very soon. I'm also planning on reviewing Joey Cantrell vs Axel from UCW. I was super excited to see him pop back up on the website and he's looking great! You all know I love the cute punk next door type 😆
  
Before I depart, I do need to brag just a bit...I decided to take "treat yo self" to the next level and totally upgrade my gaming PC and set up.




It was an incredibly rotten and tough year. I deserve all of this lol.

Specs for fellow PC gaymers:

Intel i7 10700 - GeForce RTX 3080 - 16GB RAM 

I'm always down to play some Warzone and have my own Discord server. More than happy to make some new internet friends for gaming!

Brody Merritt vs Scrappy - Weekend Wrestling

  Brody Merritt vs Scrappy - Weekend Wrestling I took a break from the blog for a while. No reason in particular, just wasn't in the mood to write. When I noticed Weekend Wrestling's latest release, I knew it'd be the perfect match to break me out of my mid-winter hibernation! Uh oh. Looks like Scrappy has gotten all caught up in some type of cult, and seems to be its apparent leader. I'm not sure who the two in the blue and red are. The brief glimpse of a calf tattoo on the cultist in blue wasn't much to go off of. We will see if these two run any interference later in the match.  Pre-match, good guy Brody does his best to talk Scrappy out of his newfound malevolent ways...but it doesn't go so well and Brody, through a defeat, may become Scrappy's newest follower 😮 Although resilient, Brody has been the fall guy a vast majority of his time spent in the Weekend Wrestling ring. If he wants to shake his reputation of being the rosters resident hunky jobber, a

Percy Austin vs Forrest Taylor - Wrestle Studs

  Wrestle Studs came out of nowhere, at least for me. I stumbled across the Twitter/X account late last week. Wrestle Studs is an offshoot of Muscleboy Wrestling, with a clear focus on pro-style matches as opposed to MBW's steamy content. The roster as of now is split 50/50 between familiar underground faces and guys from the indies. You'll probably recognize several of the new faces if you are an indie wrestling fan in general. We've seen some of the bigger underground companies have a side-project that stems from the original, and they usually just end up getting absorbed back into the main website. If it sticks to the pro-style content, Wrestle Studs has a lot of great potential to stand up on it's own and could even attract other wrestlers that might shy away from the more bluntly erotic mat matches on MBW.

Dax Carter vs Joey McCoy - Muscleboy Wrestling

  I've never had any particular affinity for big vs little matches, but Joey McCoy has become a favorite of mine at MBW and I know a lot of guys really love size mismatches in a fight. So, I decided to take a look at Dax Carter vs Joey McCoy from the latest Muscleboy catalog. Dax Carter vs Joey McCoy - Muscleboy Wrestling   Even Dax has a hard time believing that Joey here is who he is scheduled to wrestle with on Muscleboy's iconic orange mats. This has all the signs of a mismatch squash with poor Joey at the receiving end. Fortunately for him, Dax takes just a little bit too long talking to the camera about his confusion and Joey takes full advantage. I'm so glad this is happening. It seems like many of the matches I've been watching lately have been one sided battles. While I love a good squash, it was starting to drift into the "too much of a good thing" realm and also becoming a bit boring for me personally. Watching Joey pummel, twist, and bend a man wh
