Wrestling Snakes

 
 


Since ancient times, man has been obsessed with tangling up with snakes.  This old statue depicts some studly Greek hero grappling with a cold blooded serpent, which is wrapped tightly around his rock hard thigh.

Some barbarian's muscular body is now entangled by a deadly boa constrictor.  Why do men like to see images of the warm bodies of their heroes trapped and crushed by these long, vicious reptiles?
Even Tarzan, the sexiest savage of them all, was often depicted in battle with huge snakes.  Here Tarzan's legs are wrapped up by some angry viper who is trying to crush his gorilla friend.

When hunky Gordon Scott played Tarzan in the movies, the director made him wrestle around with this big snake, wearing nothing but his loin cloth for protection.

I'm not really sure what Tarzan is doing with this huge snake as he pulls its cold body against his skin.  I don't think they are wrestling.



It was only a matter of time before Pro Wrestlers brought the fascination and erotic appeal of deadly snakes into the wrestling ring.  John Tolos was probably the first grappler to whip a snake out to frighten his opponent, Freddie Blassie.
Tolos pointed his snake at Blassie to scare him away.  According to the announcers, Tolos also had to wear that thick leather collar to stop Blassie from biting his jugular.  (And people complain that wrestling is too violent today!)


Although they were shocked that Tolos brought a deadly animal in the ring, the fans enjoyed seeing big, tough Freddie Blassie run away in fear, unwilling to lock up with Tolos and his huge snake.
The wrestler with the greatest obsession with his snakes was Jake "The Snake" Roberts.  He loved bringing his pets in the ring to frighten and dominate his opponents.  He also loved to drape the long muscular bodies of the snakes over his own long muscular body.


Jake seemed to feel almost an erotic passion for his snakes.  He was always stroking them and rubbing them on his skin as he let them slither on him and embrace his bare chest.
I think that is Rick Rude, scrambling out of the ring to avoid being touched by Jake's giant python.  Rude was usually the dominant wrestler in the ring, but he is no match for Jake and his big long snake.



Jake's best friend was another mysterious and sadistic wrestler -- Kevin Sullivan.  These two freaks had a wide range of bizarre interests and turn-ons.  I think Jake taught his passion for serpents to his devil-worshipping friend.

Later Kevin Sullivan began worshipping snakes as well, letting them wrap around his thick body, circling his neck.  He seems to be in a trance as the snake's tail wraps around his thigh and almost into his wrestling trunks.

Sullivan looks freaky howling at the moon, wearing face paint as he wraps this snake's long hard body over his bare chest, holding it's head down near his tight black speedo.  Why do the fans tune in week after week to watch this bizarre lunatic and his unusual fetishes?  Maybe the fans are just as turned on by watching these rituals as Sullivan is in performing them.


When Jake Roberts whipped out his snake against Ricky Steamboat, Steamboat flexed his muscles and pulled out a big reptile of his own.  You show me yours and I'll show you mine.
Jake Roberts, looking sexy and masculine with his hairy bare chest all tan and oiled, shows his fangs to mimic his giant cobra.  Which of these beasts is more bloodthirsty and dangerous?

Jake is hot and sweaty after wrestling an intense match.  He drapes his pet serpent over his shoulder, letting its cold body cool his sweat-soaked chest.

This jobber is completely helpless, at The Snake's mercy.  Jake humiliates his opponent by whipping out his viper and holding it right over the dude's face, just inches from his mouth.  I wonder if he can feel the tongue tickling his lips as Jake straddles him in those sexy red tights.
Jake subjects another beaten opponent to his snake humiliation.  The potential danger of this situation has the fans on their feet, howling for blood.  The snake, meanwhile, is ready to strike this poor guy's hand!




After Jake has knocked out yet another opponent, he slowly pulls out his snake, choking it to establish his domination.

Jake tea-bags his long snake against the beaten man's mouth, rubbing it on his lips.  This looks like some bizarre ritual of beastiality!

Oh no! This freak is out of control!  He has pulled open the poor kid's singlet as he thrusts his snake inside.  What will that snake do to this poor kid once it gets down inside the warm singlet against his bare skin?
