Videos with Older Fighters
Muscled young fighters constitute the majority of wrestlers in most commercial wrestling videos.
So it's heartening to see so many veteran grapplers making content on Watch Fighters these days. Very impressed with guys like Canwrestle, Krush, Singletman, Marcwrestler, Sir Dark, Fighting4Fun, Bo Jo, and The Colossus who are both still battling on the mats AND recording and sharing their work.
And there are tons of experienced mature guys also sharing their stuff with us here on the video section of MF. (WrestleDad, Bowolverine, SFBeef, Silex, RhodyRaybo, etc). There's actually way too many guys to even mention. So much great content has been shared by many.
(Apologies to any of these guys for characterizing them as "old". I just consider 40+ to be "seasoned" or a "veteran wrestler").
I uploaded my latest contribution to the older vs. older genre with the video titled Rivals: Hotel Fight. Hope you mature fans will check it out:

You might technically fall in the demographic, Scrapper02. But I think you've got the stamina and intensity of youth!

2/04/2023 5:48 PMI wear "older" with pride, especially when making the "younger" guys tap 😈. There is nothing like hearing "I submit daddy sir"
BUT I do love a good Dad vs Dad match.
Thanks for the shout out Osaka and I can't wait to get on the mats with you real soon

@Canwrestle you and I need to finally get it on Dad vs Dad!

2/05/2023 12:59 AMYeah, I did the one with Marc, it was really fun. I really think old vs young matches are fun, should be more content like that. Good fits though. In fact, every match I've had, including the BG East matches last week (why I missed a second with Marc), I've been the youngest, lol.

Yeah, I think that's a very smart approach: don't necessarily discount someone based on age. But I'll be the first to admit that in my younger years I had pre-conceived age restrictions on who I would or wouldn't battle. That's why today I try to not get disappointed if someone says I'm not within their preferred demographic.
I can't speak for anyone else, but a lot of preferences have to do with how the wrestling interest was formed. I think if you train competitively or are a practitioner (ex. BJJ) then age matters very little to you. If, however, the interest was formed more from a fetish, it obviously will matter.
Congratulations BTW on the BG debut. I'm sure you'll be an icon very soon!

Wrestling at 67 and loving it!

2/05/2023 1:45 AMYeah man, my main thing is the person being physically able. Some people my age or younger has hinderances, but if you're not able to have the fun I want to have, it's no problem, we just shouldn't meet. Just like some people can pay for the 3 star or some people can pay for the five star in regards to hotels. Do what you're able.
And thanks man, don't know about all that, lol. Just trying to have fun and more quality matches which I definitely did.

2/05/2023 1:31 PMAn interesting piece here, which like all the best things, got me thinking about my own experience and attitudes. Nice, thoughtful contributions from TakeThe PunchesAl too. I definitely fall into the veteran category, being ‘even’ older than you, osakarob 😂. Age, truly, is just a number, which does not in itself determine your attitudes or fitness levels. I’ve met mentally old guys in their 30s and 40s, lol. Speaking for myself, I came to wrestling via the fetish route, via World of Sport, Global Fight, Grindr and this site. For me it’s being fit to wrestle that matters, whatever age you are, and you obviously fit that bill.

2/05/2023 4:04 PMBG East used to have senior fighters like BBW, Powergunz, Shane, Cage Thunder etc. and I loved that type of action, but in the last couple of years that went completely missing. It's a choice, but that's the main reason I didn't renew my subscription there

To answer that because I have perspective now obviously. They want to push newer guys, so that's what they're prioritizing right now. Marc was someone that as considered for my second match, but they decided to have me go against the other newer dude instead, but I'm sure I'll end up against some older guys, so maybe that's something you'd want to check out and maybe I bring you back, lol.

Personally, my favorite matches are Dad vs Dad. Matches with the young hot muscle boys can be a blast, but there is something primal and more intense taking on a man near your age - a seasoned veteran (as you say) - stripping down, locking up and going at it. Maybe because of experience over the years, we both know what we want and aren't afraid to go after it...? Not sure but I definitely LOVE a good Dad vs Dad match. I also love to WATCH those kinds of matches on video (or IRT) but unfortunately there seems to be fewer and fewer of them out there.
Finding the older I get, the more interest I get in matches - from both younger guys and 'seasoned men'.
Groups like Dad vs Dad are greatly appreciated... and am taking challenges, guys. So if you like what you see, hit me up. Thanks Osakarob! Happy wrestling!
