KSW Knockout Awards 2021

-


It's time for the blog post I look forward to alllll year long! The annual KSW Knockout awards are here, where I highlight my favorites in multiple categories from the past year. Originally, I had 19 ideas for different categories, but for my own sanity and time management, I narrowed it down to 9 😆

I would like you to keep in mind that these are just my personal choices, and I know you all have your own favorites. I wasn't able to view nearly as many matches this year as I typically do, but these are selections from matches that I did manage to check out. Agree or disagree, I would love for you to drop your thoughts in the comments section below the post. Ok, lets dive right in...

What a great year for underground wrestling! In a yet another 365 days full of continued uncertainty and anxiety, it was wonderful to see so many underground wrestlers and companies continue to thrive and produce some incredible content. Our community is strong and growing! I can't wait to see what 2022 has in store.

    I must admit, I haven't seen a lot of thses matches or wrestlers. It just goes to show how much variety there is in underground wrestling.

    I agree Dirty D is a great Heel. It was obvious he loved squashing Travis. It's good to see Dash and Joey Nux are still improving, even though they've been around for a while.

    Thanks for all the effort you put into your blog. All the best to you in the new year.

Unscripted: Hans Auslander vs Forrest Taylor

  I've subscribed to just a handful of OnlyFans creators since it started up back in 2016, but the amount of well known and fresh faces from underground wrestling creating accounts tempted me to check out more. Hans shared some pics from the latest match he dropped on his OF account with Forrest Taylor yesterday: Yeah ok. Sign me up! Here are the links to both of their OF accounts. Hans and Forrest have 4 matches together up on OF and they are all under 10 minutes, so I'm going to highlight all of them. 3 of the matches are on Forrest's account and all 4 can be found on Hans' account: Hans Auslander's OnlyFans Forrest Taylor's OnlyFans Their first match was posted on July 15th and the most recent on October 18th. Hans dominates Forrest in all but one of them. You can tell both guys are really committed to the jobber/heel roles they take in each match. Forrest just can't seem to keep that boner down either and I'm not complaining. Hans is a cocky fucker t

Brutal Brendan Byers vs Brody Merritt - Weekend Wrestling

Brody Merritt faces off against Weekend Wrestling's resident bad boy heel in one of the most anticipated underground debuts in recent memory. Brendan Byers vs Brody Merritt - Weekend Wrestling It's playoff season for Football jock Brody Merritt. "I know I'll win MVP this year" he says as he tosses around the pigskin he brought with him to the ring. He's feeling "confident" and "honorable"...but as we see time and time again, there's no room for honor inside the squared circle at Weekend Wrestling.  Who better to face the new recruit and test his in-ring values other than "Brutal" Brendan Byers. A nickname that has definitely been earned over the course of his wrestling career.  Brody could have taken his honor and wholesome ethics and left the ring, saving his first challenge for someone more in line with his morals, but he makes the mistake of issuing it to the brutal one. Like me, you probably had a feeling that football wo

Gabe Steel vs Kal Handsome - Weekend Wrestling

  Gabe Steel vs Kal Handsome - Weekend Wrestling I wanted to get this up last week but fell a little behind, and it looks like I'm not alone in losing track of time... You'd assume Kal would think twice about showing up late again after the beating he took at the hands of Roger Atlas in his last match at WW for the same reason. Unfortunately for Kal, no lessons were learned as he scrambles down to the ring to meet up with Gabe who is already ready and waiting. Kal is seated at ringside rushing to put his gear on. Personally, I love the red shorts he is always wearing each time he comes to the ring. Although they typically get stripped off (which I'm not complaining about) Kal is one of those guys that can look great in just about any battle attire. He manages to get at least his knee pads on before that trademark malicious grin starts to form across Gabe's face and he launches his attack on Kal. He pummels Kal in the back with his boot before dragging him into the ri
