  Trade list - Friday July 3rd 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
I have recently updated my trade list again. There are simply a few additions to the Thunder's Arena list. I know I haven't been good at all in keeping up with most trades because of my busy schedule. However, if you have previously suggested a trade, don't hesitate to try it again until you get a response from me. By the way, if you have downloaded files from the internet that were ripped from BG East or Can-Am, I am most probably not interested in trading for them because the quality is drastically reduced and also because anyone can acquire them (making the trade technically worthless). |   |

| Appropriate behavior please - Thursday July 2nd 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
This is a reminder that you guys need to be polite when you are addressing other members on the site. This rule is applicable when posting on the tag-board and when sending personal messages to other users. If an user reports a message or a tag-board post and the message shows inappropriate behavior, then yes, the offending account will probably be suspended. This is in accordance with the Terms of Service that every user agrees to when they are using the site. I'm sure that everyone can get along together in a civilized manner. If you want to start a verbal fight, then there are many other sites elsewhere that you can use to do so. And if you want a physical wrestling fight, well, schedule a meeting with your opponent. |  |

| Block user/sender - Wednesday July 1st 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
I have just completed implementing the blocking user upgrade for the Wrestling Personals. This will allow you to block anyone from whom you do not wish to receive messages. There are currently two ways to block an user: - You can visit the user's profile, scroll down a bit and you'll see a link that says [ Click here to block this user ]. - Or, you can view the message the user sent you and click on [ Block sender ]. Obviously, this option is only available if the user sent you a message in the first place. Both methods do the same thing. They will prevent the user from sending you any further messages without him actually knowing it. If you ever change your mind in the future, you can access the listing of blocked users at any time to un-block them. The listing is available in the Control Panel once logged in. |   |

| R-Truth vs Shelton Benjamin - Tuesday June 30th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
I have recently added Entry ID 822 which features a WWE bearhug where R-Truth bearhugs Shelton Benjamin. You can watch the video directly below and jump to 2:50 for the bearhug, but I'll warn you in advance, it's nothing amazing. Anyway, despite the quality of the bearhug, a bearhug is still a bearhug, so I don't see why it should be omitted from the database. |   |

| Where did they all go? - Monday June 29th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
Link ID 846 is a link to Wrestling Tube, a very useful that looks like YouTube, but minus the over-protective policy. You'd probably find on Wrestling Tube videos that have been taken off from YouTube because of a violation of their terms. Best of all, as the name says it, all videos from Wrestling Tube are strictly about wrestling so you don't have to worry about falling into a non-related video. Check out the link, it's worth a watch and you may be surprised with what you can find. I say cherish this video site as much as you can. Considering that they don't have yet their own domain name, I am inclined to think that their survivability is short term. Video sites are expensive to maintain because of the big amount of storage needed. |  |

| Comment fix - Sunday June 28th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
Ok, that was silly to make candidate comments "unfindable". I just fixed it: when a comment is posted on a faceoff, it will appear on the candidate page of BOTH candidates. For example, if you put a comment on the faceoff battle between Ted Arcidi against Bo Dixon, the comment will be displayed on both Ted Arcidi's candidate page on and Bo Dixon's. This also means that when you read the comments, it may not necessarily relate to the current candidate. However, there will be a link that will connect you to the related faceoff so that anyone can understand correctly why the comment was posted in the first place. |  |

| Commenting on faceoffs - Friday June 26th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
Guess what? Comments can now be added on faceoffs. It'll be a bit hard to retrieve them considering that there is currently around 3000 faceoffs... I'll implement something in the future to help list all the comments that were submitted to date for all the faceoffs. For now, you guys will just have to comment individually a faceoff and hope that someone will read it. Note that you'll have a much higher chance of someone reading what you wrote if you comment a featured faceoff. And by the way, guys, please do an effort and do try to submit wrestlers OTHER than WWE wrestlers or BG East wrestlers. The world has almost 7 billion people and to restrict yourself to a small group of corporate performers is just plain silly... | |

| POTM #42: Oh.. the pain! - Thursday June 25th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
A bearhug with a highly expressive facial expression is always a good bearhug in my book.   In the image below, Ace punishes Ajax in what appears to be a very excruciating bearhug. Submitted by Tony (id 1025) last year, this image has a rating of 7.32 with 22 votes. | |

| Go Piledrive - Wednesday June 24th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
The Go Piledrive website from G. Joey Hudson was down for quite some time, but it is now active again. It has quite a few galleries that are noteworthy. http://www.gopiledrive.com His website was previously added as Link ID 435. At one point, I deactivated it because I thought he was going to shut his website down, but I am quite glad and relieved that he has decided to keep it. Webmasters need to keep individual sites active to avoid everyone merging to cramped networks like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter... | |

| Duke Droese and Dave Sullivan - Tuesday June 23rd 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
I was reviewing the timeline of the couple first bearhugs that I saw when I was young. I've concluded that the really first bearhug I can remember seeing on TV was given by Duke "The Dumpster" Droese back in February 1995. It was only about a couple of months later that I fell on the bearhugs given by Sullivan. My bearhug timeline: 1995-02-26: Duke Droese vs. Reno Riggins (WWF Challenge) 1995-05-07: Duke Droese vs. Black Phantom (WWF Challenge) 1995-06-17: Dave Sullivan vs. Butch Long (WCW Saturday Night) 1995-07-15: Dave Sullivan vs. Dino Dimeglo (WCW Saturday Night) I've recently made a few purchases on auction sites to acquire these shows since I did remember enjoying them quite a lot. I already have Butch Long as Clip ID 24 and I'll be posting the other ones once I extract them. For now, the information is accessible from Entry ID 816 to 819. |  |

| Daily Motion vs YouTube - Sunday June 21st 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
Have you guys noticed that there is a significant difference in typing "bearhug" as your search query in YouTube compared to typing it in Daily Motion and other smaller video sites? Both sites display videos in order of relevance, which ultimately means that they are displayed by the amount of times they were visited/clicked. On YouTube, most people seem to be interested in women being bearhugged, whereas on sites with lower affluence, like Daily Motion, videos with men in bearhugs are most often clicked so they'll appear on top of the list. In addition, bearhug videos are very often banned from YouTube (especially those posted by companies) while they will stick much longer on other video sites. Simply give it a try and you'll probably be surprised. | |

| The lightweights - Saturday June 20th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
Some of you may be wondering why there are so many lightweights in the Bearhugger or not section when there are dozens of strongmen and bodybuilders that could easily squash, crush or destroy just about anyone. Well, wouldn't it be boring to just have big huge guys compete against each other? Sometimes, it's the size difference that makes a faceoff appealing. Not everyone are into bearhugging guys that are twice or thrice their size. The lightweights are there to compete for the victim rating: the lighter they are, the more likely that they will be selected to be picked up in a bearhug. It is to be noted also that these lightweights help increase the faceoff rating of other opponents. Last but not least, it's nice to see a lightweight facing off another lightweight just for a change. Take these for example: • Jax vs Bryan Thomas • Dante vs Steve Cruz • Tom Welling vs John Schneider • Eagle vs Evan Tanner • Sammie Henson vs Brad Martin After that, you get twice the fun part by doing complete squash faceoffs: Imagine combining any of the candidates above with guys like Ted Arcidi, Heinz Ollesch or Manuel Bauer. You can generate the faceoff of your dreams.. that is, if the size differences is something you find ... exciting! I'm also currently accepting individual profiles to be participating in these faceoffs. So, if you have a real profile on this site and would like to be a competitor against those big monsters or the lightweights, feel free to suggest yourself as a candidate. Note however that you should not be complaining about the ratings that others will give you. If that doesn't bother you, then go ahead and register and provide a good quality picture of yourself. | |

| Clean-up time - Friday June 19th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
The links section is full of links that have been orphaned, broken or overriden. I think it's about time we clean it up. If you find a broken link in the links section, report it as [ Broken ] using the link provided when you are logged in and you'll get 4 times (4×) the usual points (that's +10000 points, up from 2500 points). A little note though: I know that all Geocities link will be broken soon because Yahoo intends to completely close their web hosting solutions. However, please do not report them as broken yet, because these Geo links will still be active until the end of the year. To think that bearhugger.net first started on Geocities. Thank goodness I'm no longer with them! |  |

| Naked Kombat - Thursday June 18th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
We have another newcomer in the gay wrestling industry: http://aff.nakedkombat.com/track/MTAyNTYyNzozOjMw/ Their selection is pretty limited, but that's completely normal for any new starting company. Their matchups sound promising. However, chances are we won't be seeing too many bearhug pictures from them on bearhugger.net because their wrestling is a bit too feisty without the need of cropping (I'm sure you know what I mean)... I haven't seen any bearhugs from them yet, but just like fans have been requesting it from WrestleHard, NRW and Thunder's Arena, I'm pretty sure you guys can ask Naked Kombat to do a couple of your favorite holds as well. | |

| POTM #41: Big Mike - Wednesday June 17th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
Today's Pic of the Moment goes to Big Mike. This guy has given so many personal bearhugs that he probably deserves a section of his own.  The image above can be accessed as Upload ID 1017. It was posted last year by Stritoloso (id 787). If you want to take a look at this other bearhugs, just type "Big Mike" in the search of the Uploads Panel. Search queries are case insensitive so don't worry about the capitals. If you're wondering, yes, I'd love a bear hug from the great Big Mike, although I know if this guy was put into the "bearhugger or not" section, he'd probably have a low grade because he doesn't have the ultimate physical build that almost everybody wants...  | |

| Flashback - Tuesday June 16th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
This is an example of the classic bearhug that was available in the old days and that you can no longer find with today's flamboyant wrestling. In this AWA wrestling match, Mike Smith is an imposing heel appearing in his biker gang gimmick. He takes on a smaller Greg Gagne who looks much less powerful than Smith. Obviously, because of the size difference, you'll end up seeing a bearhug. The part where Gagne fakes it out like "Ow, I can't stand it, I am being squeezed the lights out of me, I think i'm going to faint!" is hilarious. This was listed previously as Link ID 722 so some of you may have already seen this. This is the full match, so if you're interested only in the bearhug, then just skip forward to 3:20. I have a wish that Gagne would get bearhugged by Daryl Nickle, but apparently the bearhug is not part of his arsenals of holds, so we are stuck with Kiniski instead. |  |

| More Fight Garage bearhugs - Monday June 15th 2009 | [ Back to top ] |
Last time I checked, we have only 2 bearhugs from Fight Garage. Considering that this company produced at least a hundred match-ups since they were founded, I realized that they probably have quite a few more bearhugs that we have not added yet. In consequence, the last 8 uploads that were posted are all from Fight Garage. Take a look and please rate them. |  |
