Here's a new starter wrestling video company I stumbled across the other day. The amount of video matches available is limited for now. They also appear to sell digital photo sets.
As I have always mentioned before, the first few months of a starter company are always the most crucial. Judging from their affiliate site on Clips4Sale, they seem to have started out near the end of Octomber 2011.
A word of advice, it's better to visit them at their official site rather than on their Clips4Sale store. The price of their videos on their official site seems to be less expensive. I'd assume that the offset in price on Clips4Sale is the amount they need to cover for advertising, usage commission and bandwidth on purchases.
Their videos are actually pretty cheap: they vary from 4$ to 9$ a piece, but keep in mind that the length of their videos are a bit short.
If you bought anything from them, feel free to share your thoughts about their products and wrestlers.
Today's profile focus puts the spotlights on Hardandy312 (id 4302). Coming from Scotland, UK, he has 4 verified matches under his belt. Here is what Andy has to say about himself:
Submission, pro-mission, nhb, wrestler/fighter, who is into severe gut punching both giving and receiving.
Prefer challenges from younger guys looking to test themselves in a variety of challenges.
Will wrestle guys from 18-60 approx and within the weights of 128lbs to 175 lbs, I will take challenges from even heavier guys as well.
I like a good roug hish style match with body punching included.
I have 14 x 14 mats at my home that are approx 50mm thick.
If you're interested, make sure you drop by his Profile ID 4302.
Bear in mind that if you like this guy's artwork, you can support him by purchasing his comic books containing his stories about Hercules getting into all sorts of trouble.
The comic containing the Hercules vs The Mage bearhug only costs 10$ anyways.
Boy (id 1404) submitted a very interested bearhug to submission. It features a big bearish guy from NWA by the name of Bear St. Pierre who has a gimmick of being a strong powerful bear who crushes his opponents in a bearhug finisher! Hooray!
Yes, playing the video below will fast-forward you to the bearhug. You may want to lower your speakers because the audience is excited and some fans are yelling.
On top of that, a submission! When was the last time you saw a wrestler in pro wrestling submit to a bearhug?
Not that this would matter for the majority of you following this blog, but I figured I would post it here in case some wrestlers are reading my status on this listing.
I have decided that I won't be able to join the Wrestlefest in NYC this year.
That being said, there is plenty of people on the roster and if you're gonna be in NYC near the end of February, you should definitely participate to the event if you can. Here is the URL if you want more information:
I would have given everything to be there again for a 3rd year, but it won't be possible. It looks like I will have to wait for the following year.
Take my word for it though, the last 2 years I've been to the NYC Wrestlefest, I had a blast, I made great friends and I had amazing matches. If you really want to know how it went the previous years for me, check out this link for 2011 and this link for 2010.
Call it Eric Rowan's or Thoruf Marius' collection, it doesn't matter these days with all the multiple aliases that are given to every new wrestler.
Thoruf is this big guy wrestling in the FCW wrestling association who seems to use bearhugs pretty frequently. You can take a look at the current collection in the database section by using this link.
His pro bearhugs are slightly better than those you see in the WWE.
Since last October when I started talking about Tumblr Sites, a lot more links have been added.
A lot of those sites are "bear-related", but you'll find plenty of associated Tumblr sites while you browse. This means that you will eventually find that specific pool of pictures and Tumblrs that will match your interests.
That's the beauty of Tumblr networks and communities.
On top of that, it takes 2 minutes to start creating your own Tumblr network, adding images that you like and sharing them. The interface is so friendly and so easy, it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Then, when you start getting followers, you can also check out their Tumblr and follow the images they post. Most likely, they will have common traits with the pictures you tend to prefer.
You can check the updated list of Tumblr Sites by clicking here. Of course, this represents but a very infinitely small amount of Tumblr sites actually available.
Meh.. this muscle action is still a pic of the moment bearhug in my book. If you like it as well, remember to check out Upload ID 14987 and give it a good rating.
Well, Happy New Year to friends, fans, visitors and members of Bearhugger.net! May 2012 brings to all of you of joy, fun, happiness, success, health and prosperity, but most importantly lots and lots of wrestling and bearhug action!
So what is in store for bearhugger.net for 2012? I'm hoping to finally implement the discussion forum I was talking about for a long time. It'll take quite a bit of work, but it will be a very nice addition for everyone in the community to share their say. So, hopefully, I'll get that done this year! That's my first new year resolution!
Ooops.. I obviously made a mistake on the upload bonus for votes. I've fix the issue and extended the 10x points bonus on each upload vote for today (December 26).
Cast your vote again to any bearhug uploads and let me know if there are any issues.
Hey guys, I'd like to wish to everyone of you a happy holiday season, so... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I hope you guys will be spending some good time with your friends and family and let's also hope that 2012 will be a year full of ... wrestling and bearhugs!
I don't have much to offer today aside from some bonus points. I have been a bit busy lately to upload some new content for distribution. Hence, if you go visit a sponsor link today (December 25th) in the uploads or contender section, you'll get +10,000 points instead of the usual 1,500 points. Come back on January 1st and visit a sponsored link again and you'll get another 10,000 points. On top of this, for both those days, your upload votes will be worth 10x the usual amount of points. Hopefully, this will help you get a couple of locked bearhug uploads or a locked video.
Thank you for visiting bearhugger.net today and thank you for supporting, collaborating, participating, distributing and uploading content to the site throughout this past decade!
Support for weight and height stats have been added in the Contenders Section.
If you are an upload operator or database operator, you can directly edit this stat on each contender's page. This will temporarily hide the rating panel for compatibility purposes, but you can restore it by clicking on the link that is available when scrolling down.
If you are creating a faceoff between two contenders who both have weight and height stats available, the advantage over the opponent is shown in green. For example, if I create a faceoff between Greg Doucette and Ted Arcidi, I will see that Arcidi has a height advantage of 4 inches and a weight advantage of 87 pounds over his opponent Doucette.
Yea, I know size sometimes doesn't mean anything, but depending on the extend of the difference and the body types involved, it may help you guys determine the winner of the faceoff.
Again, if you're a jobber at heart like SPJ, or, a heel who likes the sight of jobbers being destroyed, you will most probably enjoy the content he has to offer. His group is also recorded under Link ID 1492.
And guess what? In his latest pictures, he is keeping his chest hair and is growing a bit of facial hair. In my honest opinion, I am absolutely thrilled he is letting those grow. That's how a real jobber should look like!
Yea, I've been digging deep in the archives. This was submitted way back in December 2009 and it has a pretty high ranking. In this video, Scott Hall bearhugs a masked Brian Pillman for over a minute! And the beauty of it is that it starts right at the beginning of the clip.
This was recorded under Link ID 1422. And yes, if you wander around the links section and browse further for a little longer, you'll find a couple more jewels like this...
I've decided to bring back into the front page this independent bodybuilder that seems to be underestimated. The ratings for his Teen Hercule bearhugs dwindle around 7 and 8. In my honest opinion, they do have what it takes for a minimum rating of 9 or greater.
I still think this guy has great potential, but whether or not he will produce more bearhug and wrestling content really depends on the amount of feedback and support he gets for his products. As of right now, he has 3 wrestling videos and I am hoping he'll add some more...
He mentions that he have had the opportunity of travelling and wrestling all over the US, Canada and even had a few international matches. He also honors his committments and does not flake out on people as many do.

Some of you already know this, but it doesn't hurt to share again the knowledge: if you wish to keep a copy of a YouTube video, then KeepVid is a web interface that will allow you to do so.
You simply copy & paste the YouTube link and KeepVid will give you a download link of the different video formats and sizes available.
As of late, a lot of good YouTube bearhug videos have been disappearing because of all the different types of restrictions in YouTube's legalese, so it's a very good idea to save yourself a copy of your favorite videos. Otherwise, you might never see them again.
I've decided to upgrade all profiles that have been with us since September of last year: if you have a profile that is created on September 2010 or before, then your profile has just been boosted to the following:
- The maximum amount of messages that you can store in your inbox goes from 200 to 300 messages.
- The maximum amount of messages that you can send per day goes from 20 to 50 messages.
Note however that messages in inboxes that are more than one year old will still be erased.
If you created your profile after September 2010, then tough luck, you will still have 200 maximum messages for your inbox and 20 maximum messages you can send per day. Next year, if you still have your account by then and have not deleted it, then the amount might upgrade.
If you have donated to the site at least once, then your account has been boosted to 500 max inbox messages and 100 max messages sent per day. If you're a recurring/monthly donator then your inbox and max messages are already unlimited so you can ignore this message.
You can log in to the Wrestling Personals right now to see if the changes have been applied to your account depending on its creation date.
