I've been wrestling since 1988 how it's changed in 2024
I started to find like-minded guys to wrestle with when I was young in 1988 in Los Angeles and was told it could only be done if I bought the Gillespie Listing. It was mostly bodybuilders in Venice and Santa Monica. You would put a recent photo and mail the guys that interested you, I contacted two guys and they were both in Santa Monica and had places to wrestle. Both were excellent times, all were in our 20's with great strong bodies. Later as I contacted more men to wrestle some asked to film the matches, if I trusted them I'd say he. For me wrestling was a part sport, part exercise part sexual. I knew I was gay from the time I was 14 but I was odd I thought because I did not want any part of anal sex. We would wrestle for hours and be sweaty and jack off at the end. Having grown up during the AIDS epidemic I think it was my mind telling my body better safe than sorry. After about a year a wrestling friend I'd made who liked to videotape out matches told me a wrestling production company wanted me to call them. I had watched some hot wrestling videos on VHS and liked them so I called, well that led to wrestling for BG West, BG West, Can-Am Productions, NHB Battle, Squared Circle Productions, and On Top Wrestling. I even did a live play in a West Hollywood, CA theatre called "From Shirley Temple to Aimee Semple. I had to think of the name I wanted to be called in the wrestling videos, so I chose Kyle Bradford. Before I knew it, I got calls from real Pro wrestlers who wanted to wrestle. I was being flown to NYC to wrestle for NHB Battle and Toronto, Canada to wrestle for Can-AM. I also wrestled in England and spent a week wrestling in wrestling clubs with men to know who I was. This was some of the best times in my life, I talked to thousands of guys who loved wrestling for different reasons. I met a guy through wrestling whom I became serious with, he wanted me to stop wrestling and I did, until his untimely passing in 2018 when he passed in a car accident. Now at 56, I posted on this site in hopes of reconnecting with past wrestling and even meeting some new ones. I discovered a few close friends from wrestling have passed. I'll post of photo of me from the time era I was speaking about. I now live in Desert Hot Springs, CA (near Palm Springs) I love the desert! I have a dog so I no longer travel.

2024-05-06 22:24You had some great fights on Movimus (ex NHB Battle). I especially enjoy your fight with Patrick Donovan. Seemed very intense like you two didn’t really like each other. Loved the match. Wish got a chance at you when we were both younger. I would’ve enjoyed a good fight with you.
