Outrage in a Cage

Brad is thrown from the cage and locked out.

This 1990 Tag Team match inside a steel cage was posted this week to the AWA Collection channel on YouTube.  The Destruction Crew — blond Heels in matching orange tights — knock one of their opponents out of the cage, then their friend locks the door.

This leaves their other opponent — hunky Paul Diamond — out-numbered and all alone against these two killers.


Diamond is bloodied when his face strikes the fence.

(Actually, the locking out happened at the end of the video, but I moved it to the beginning in this story because it’s sexier if Diamond is alone for the whole beating, not just for the final couple of moves.)

Diamond was isolated by the Heels and punished for most of the match anyway, with his partner watching helplessly from the far side of the cage, so I am only bending the truth here.

Again they spike his injured face into the steel mesh!

During this era, biceps and pecs were in style and all the federations promoted the swolest guys they could find.  I think the swolest of the swole studs were found in the AWA!  So many of their wrestlers were gods.

The Destruction crew with their orange tights, muscular Paul Diamond with his black tights, even Brad Rheingans who was locked out of the cage, they were all He-Men.


fenced3I enjoy how the Heels keep bum-rushing Diamond into the side of the cage, bashing his handsome face into the metal fencing until he’s bloodied.  It’s such a cruel move, making him look weak as you run him around like a yoyo on a string.  Diamond is such an obedient bitch too, letting them fence-smash his face over and over again.


diamond3I also like the Sky Cam looking down on the mat from above.  I wish more federations would offer us shots from this birds eye view, especially when the Baby-Face is flat on his back in agony.

It’s just a fresh look at the destroyed ragdoll selling for all he’s worth.  You get a better view of his chest and stomach and sprawled out legs when you’re looking down from above.


That'll keep the blood flowing!

diamond2The appeal of the scene lies in the unfairness of Diamond’s fate — locked in a cage with two evil brutes who want to hurt him.  The only way it could be better is if they had brought some Foreign Objects inside the cage with them to torture him with.

Luckily for us, they selected the sexier and buffer of their two opponents  to be their caged whipping boy.

Pro wrestling Heels always seem to select the more beautiful dude to harm in their Tag Team matches.  Is that just a coincidence?

If pro wrestling is a straight sport for heterosexual fans, wouldn’t either opponent be equally acceptable to play Face in Peril?  Yet they always seem to work over the prettier-boy.  How do the Heels even know which partner on the opposing Tag Team is the more attractive of the two if they’re truly heterosexual and therefore not looking at or evaluating other dudes?


Yet to our delight, Paul Diamond is the beefcake they decide to isolate and punish.  Locked in the cage, they can do anything they want to him, and nobody can stop them.  It’s like they’re bunkies in a jail cell together, and the guards are nowhere around.  It doesn’t take much imagination to realize they could sexually violate him if they wanted to, and why wouldn’t they want to as sexy as he looks?!


Diamond has no chance against BOTH of these brutal body-builders.

The Destruction Crew had an unusual gimmick —  highway road crew workers.  Their orange clothing is for safety so they don’t get run over.  It’s as if they work out in the sun all day (shirtless of course), swinging big sledge hammers and carrying buckets of tar, then after their shift, they get in the ring and throw their opponents around.  Of course buff dudes like them working shirtless on the side of the road would probably cause accidents.


Diamond could use a tag team partner about now!

The Destruction Crew implement their awesome Wrecking Ball move — with Enos hoisting Diamond on his shoulders like a sitting duck and Bloom leaping off the ropes to clothesline the helpless hunk.

Nothing can be done to save Paul Diamond because of the lock on the cage!  Nobody can climb over the fence or cut the lock, so these cruel Heels can keep giving him repeated Wrecking Balls if they want to.

Wow it looks even more devastating from the top looking down!

Wow it looks even more devastating from the top looking down!

Sure enough, the brutal road crew dudes deliver another Wrecking Ball on this poor, helpless Diamond!  Check out their victim flipping ass-over-applecart as they knock him off his perch — that looks really dangerous!

Eventually they tire of kicking Diamond’s ass and they exit the cage, but the bondage scene was great while it lasted. And I’m a sucker for Two-on-One abuse, especially when the cheaters wear matching outfits.
