"Alabama Takedown" is an athletic and skilled offering from director Joe Gage. I love the way he creates sexual tension, nobody does it better as far as I'm concerned. Using a wide range of tools, not the least of which are men like Spencer Quest and Blu Kennedy, he's a masterful manipulator. By the time Joe Gage is finished, there's a deep-seated but pleasurable ache in your balls.

Spencer Quest and Cliff Rhodes play brothers, schemers who hatch a seedy plan to make some money and get laid at the same time. In a stagnant backwater, they post flyers for a wrestling competition, offering a meager cash prize to the winner. Once the buzz is out, all types of men do their own private scheming, deciding whether or not they're man enough to make a grand pin in the ring.

Making the trek from Georgia is Damon DeMarco. He arrives a day early hoping to gain an edge. He catches the eye of the janitorial staff, scruffy daddy Ken Mack. Ken is quick to point out that Damon's singlet is likely to bring him unwanted attention. He tosses Damon some of his old wrestling clothes to try on while he watches. Ken catches sight of Damon's hardon as he changes. Eager to give Damon some pointers, Ken slips on the singlet that Damon was wearing. He hops into the ring with his own hardon obscenely tenting the front of Damon's wrestling uniform. Rough body contact only intensifies their erections, and soon it's a happy hands-on strokefest. Ken eagerly drops to the mat and takes Damon into his mouth. Damon returns the favor, a good deal of the oral action expertly filmed from underneath. Once their appetites have been whet, they continue to wrestle sans uniforms, obviously competing to see just who is going to keep sucking dick. They settle for a hot 69, sucking each other until cumming. But Ken's not quite finished, ordering Damon to show him his asshole. Damon complies and Ken takes a seat ringside, lewdly masturbating as Damon shows off. Unable to resist, Ken rims his new wrestling buddy, then grabs whatever's handy (in this case, a broom handle) and reams the pup's spit-slick hole with it. The broom handle is more than adequate as far as warm-ups go, and Ken slips right in. Ken takes Damon on his back, teasing his prostate until both cum.

Joey Milano, an ex-con looking for a little redemption, daydreams with buddy Owen Hawk about his chances of winning the $100 dollar prize. Owen's a coy schemer himself, doing small favors for Joey and looking for a big payoff. Some jailbird dick is what Owen is hankering for, and he sweet-talks Joey into giving him a little show. The character Joey is playing is more than a little dense, only hesitating a moment before dropping his drawers. And he doesn't have much to say when Owen squats on the kitchen floor and starts sucking him off. It's like old times, just like when they were young bucks. It's a card that Owen boldly plays, and with some luck, reaps big rewards. Joey, now in the swing of things, demonstrates the oral skills he picked up in the joint. Sucking Owen makes him cum, but the kicker comes when Owen pisses all over him, washing his cream-covered belly clean. Without missing a beat, Owen dives into Joey's ass, eager to move the sex to the next level. While doing time, Joey has also learned how to enjoy a good fuck, quickly accommodating Owen between his legs. Owen puts Joey over the top a second time, and they re-coat his stomach with cum.

What I kept coming back to time and time again was a ball-tingling encounter between Colby Keller, Zack Evans and Luke Montana. Luke is betrothed to Zack's mother, and the house is stacked with moving boxes while the two families make plans to become one. On the way home from softball practice, Colby (absolutely cute as hell wearing glasses) has found one of the flyers and both guys immediately begin to boast about their wrestling prowess. While playfully wrestling for dominance, they knock over one of the boxes and a penis pump rolls into the middle of the room. Exchanging shy glances, they stuff the pump back in its box just as Luke arrives to continue packing. Some subtle prodding from Luke convinces them to continue their wrestling. Who knows? Maybe Zack's new stepfather can offer some helpful hints. Zack, an in-shape daddy with a hairy chest and thick moustache, quickly corrects them on their technique, encouraging them to strip down so that they can get better holds. He joins them and soon all three are rolling around the floor in their skivvies. The poorly sealed box once again gets knocked over, spilling its contents, much to the embarrassment of the guys. Zack asks if they would like a demonstration of how the pump works. They give their full attention, seated side by side on the couch with their cocks eagerly popping through the front of their boxers. The eye contact between the three builds palpable tension, Zack and Colby stroking their cocks tentatively while Luke gets a good vacuum seal. After several long minutes of pumping and electric glances, stepdad finds that he has a second pump handy. He lovingly guides both of the younger men while they give their gadgets a test drive. At just the right moment, Luke removes the pump and pops Zack's stiffie into his mouth, giving him head while Colby strokes and watches. Colby, a collegiate hottie who I took a special shine to, also gets head. They finish with a three-way jerk-off. Zack, not as innocent as first suspected, stands up and bends over a table, wordlessly offering his backside to his new stepfather and best buddy. Luke's no fool, quickly accepting the offer by snaking his tongue between the cheeks of Zack's butt. Colby also accepts a rim before the fucking starts, Zack bottoming for Luke then Colby. I was hoping that Luke would get one of the young'uns to fuck him and I was hoping it would be Colby. My wish granted, Luke sits down and wiggles his furry hole over Colby's youthful stiffie. It's too much for Luke who erupts once more onto the carpet.

It's the afternoon of the match. Spencer and Cliff are setting up a check-in station for all the prospective wrestlers just as Blu Kennedy shows up for weigh-in. Shifting from one foot to the other, Blu submits to a perfunctory physical, stripping to his boxers and hopping up on the scale. Spencer moves into seduction mode, absentmindedly stroking his stomach while he gets an eyeful of Blu's corn-fed good looks. The dialogue is a bit corny, and at times, our Spencer sounds like he's reciting one of Blanche DuBois' lost monologues from "A Streetcar Named Desire." He's reaching pretty hard for an authentic rural Alabama sound, but doesn't quite get there. It's so very easy to forgive him, however; he looks so damned sexy and fuckable that he could speak gibberish and my pulse would race. Up on the scale and with Cliff's breath right near his hot zone, Blu starts showing a sizeable tent in his drawers. His hardon is 70% there, tons of potential and only needing a green light to go the extra 30. The brothers decide to make him wait, asking him to get up on the table for a four-handed massage, no doubt checking for muscularity. At this point, all three men give into their erections, slyly stroking their dicks while exchanging very pointed stares. After comparing their pricks side by side for size, Cliff gets bold and propositions Blu, pressing one hand on Blu's freckled shoulder to get his point across. For several moments, it's not clear whether Blu will go the distance, but once the head of Cliff's cock is in his mouth, Blu turns into a hot-blooded pig, sucking one brother, then the other while Spencer and Cliff exchange smug looks. Cliff and Spencer freely get off, but make Blu wait. It's one of the sexiest tension-builders in the film -- Spencer hunkers down at the level of Blu's hips and won't allow him to blow without his permission. The temptation is monumental, especially with Spence staring with his gorgeous eyes, his lips only millimeters away from Blu's bloated prick. Permission granted, Blu releases the tension, milking his creamy goo from his fat cock, instantly getting the brothers' approval.

Then the match is officially on. Cliff takes on Bobby Williams; Spencer plays referee. They wrestle in earnest while Jay Armstrong and Jon Galt stand ringside, waiting for their turns. By the time Jay finally does make it into the ring with Bobby, everyone in the room is openly jerking off as they watch the match. Sure enough, everybody gets into the ring, Spencer stripping off wrestling outfits right and left until all the participants are nude. But the wrestling does indeed continue -- Jon taking on Bobby while Cliff manhandles Jay. With every successive grab and grope, a little bit more of the pretense gets thrown aside until what we're watching is no longer a wrestling match, but a bona fide orgy. Cliff gets a taste of hole and that's all it takes. He puts Jon on all-fours and fucks him.

Blu Kennedy joins the group, but as a spectator. We're then taken on an odd diversion, a slow reverie taking place inside Blu's mind. He imagines all the men in the room (with the exception of Bobby Williams) naked and standing shoulder to shoulder outside of the ring. Jon takes the lead and soon all five studs are pissing together, aiming their streams to an agreed upon center point. He then imagines his four piss buddies standing above him like soldiers in a line, releasing their bladders and soaking him in urine.

Back in real-time, the brothers abruptly eject Bobby Williams from the ring, leaving Jon, Blu and Jay to vie for the brothers' favor. The five-way sex is very nicely done and Mr. Gage makes sure no one remains in focus for very long. Everyone, save Cliff, bottoms at some point during the group sex and everyone gets off more than once. Jon Galt turns in a bravura performance, grunting and pounding his own pecs like the horniest of furry gorillas. Finally, no one is left but Blu and the brothers. This final three-way is very intimate, particularly the fuck that Blu and Spencer share. At this point, Blu has already opened up his hole for Spence, but this is Spence's first time taking a spin on Blu's rod. Both Cliff and Spencer have a few years on young Blu, so watching Blu spread his buddy's legs and go to town ended up having more feeling behind it than just your run-of-the-mill ass-bang. As Spence flicks his thumbs and forefingers over his own nipples, he gives Blu plenty of brotherly encouragement while Blu seesaws between his legs. Spencer really manages to bring out an incredible passion in Blu which may simply be chalked up to chemistry. Their aggressive kissing certainly seems unscripted. As Blu and Spence have their moment, and with little warning, Cliff sneaks up behind Blu and dicks him, pinning the little redhead in place. In the end, it's too much sensation for Blu and he becomes the focal point of some very impressive, ball-draining orgasms.

"Alabama Takedown" is simply too much to absorb in a single sitting. Multiple viewings are certainly needed, as I confess to not being able to withstand more than a scene or two myself before running out of sexual steam!

A DVD Review by Rick Forrent

Wrestling is one of the most homoerotic sports around, and when I was in high school back in the '70s, anyone on the wrestling team was automatically looked at as being different in some unspeakable kind of way. Leave it to Joe Gage to bring the subtext to the surface in Titan's latest, Alabama Takedown.

Spencer Quest and Cliff Rhodes play brothers who are looking to make some bucks and find some hard action along the way. As they tool around the back roads of Alabama in their beat-up convertible, they decide to convert their discount food warehouse (Donny's Dented Cans) into a gym and run a wrestling competition with a grand prize of a whopping $100. This being Alabama, visions of Benjamin Franklin dance in front of the eyes of the local good old boys.

The first to find the gym is Damon DeMarco (last seen in a standout performance in Gage's four-star 110º in Tucson). Ken Mack plays a handyman who finds him, and he talks him out of his underwear. Mack is a built, furry-chested daddy who has the younger DeMarco change into a singlet to look more professional. Unfortunately, DeMarco gets a boner while changing. Mack offers to practice with him, and soon both are grinding against each other on the canvas.

While trying to pin each other, Mack grabs DeMarco's wood and pulls it out of the singlet. DeMarco especially likes grinding his prick into Mack's chest hair. After rubbing their dicks together, Mack sucks DeMarco's straight-up-in-the-air boner, and DeMarco returns the favor on Mack's curved-down dick.

After some 69, DeMarco jacks off the appreciative Mack, who finishes with a nice spurt. DeMarco finishes himself off and leaves a great glob of cum hanging from his thumb. Mack wants more, so he rims DeMarco and shoves a broomhandle up his ass. Soon the broom is replaced with his cock.

DeMarco gets into it the most when Mack gives him some courtesy strokes during the fuck. DeMarco ends with a long shooter that leaves a nice stream of cum up his chest, and Mack returns a nice load over his fingers onto DeMarco's balls.

Next up, the indispesible Owen Hawk is trying to convince his childhood buddy Joey Milano (who just got out of prison) to enter the contest to make some extra money. Hawk, who has been helping Milano get back on his feet, demands payback. It turns out that these two buds used to fool around when they were kids, and Hawk wants to relive his childhood in Milano's trashy trailer crib.

After getting Milano to strip, Hawk easily downs Milano's big-veined boner. By contrast, Milano gags as he tries to deep-throat Hawk's hard, wide, uncut joystick. Hawk orders Milano to fuck him, and Milano immediately penetrates the standing Hawk, thrusting and grinding against him until Hawk is moaning and whimpering in pleasure.

Hawk turns around to face Milano and jacks out a shooter that lands against Milano's abs. Milano lays down on the dining room table and shakes out a shooter. Hawk washes all the mess off Milano by pissing on him.

After Hawk eats out Milano's ass, his spread legs tell him that he needs to be fucked, and Hawk obliges. Hawk's rock-steady fuck raises goose bumps on Milano's ass, and Hawk stands back to release his two-foot shooter onto Milano. Milano's return is MIA.

In the next scene, young and studly Zack Evans and Colby Keller get some private tutoring from their baseball coach, Luke Montana. After getting them to strip and practice some wrestling moves in his office, Evans and Keller knock over a box containing air pumps. Since they're so curious, Coach Montana shows them how they work, and soon, both Evans and Keller are pumping away on themselves.

Unfortunately for Evans, the ruler on the side of his pump faces the camera in one scene, revealing that his hard dick has grown from 4" to 4 1/4". But in a brilliant bit of directing by Gage, our current President even makes a nonsexual appearance in this scene! As the President watches, all three jack off on the sofa. Evans is first, with a single glob. The beefier Keller ejects a massive sprinkle of precum before laying out a nice pool of cum on his abs, and Montana works out some flying droplets that land on his leg and pubes.

By now, the boys are up for anything. Furry daddy Montana licks the brown-holed Evans' ass as Keller watches and jacks. Keller appears to appreciate getting rimmed by Montana more than Evans did. Montana and Keller tag-team the unaroused Evans' ass. Suddenly, Evans is hard, and he drips a creamy oozer. Montana sits on Keller's nice prick and rides it all the way home. Montana works out what looks to be a minor load but is actually a massive amount of pre-cum followed by some serious flying twirlers. Keller ends by jacking off on Montana's spent dick.

Next, red-headed Blu Kennedy appears at the gym early. Brothers Spencer Quest and Cliff Rhodes have to take his stats and get him to strip down so that they can get his proper weight. Then they offer to give him a massage to work out the kinks, and we know what comes next. As this oral-only scene ends, Kennedy lays on the massage table as Rhodes cums on his chest. Quest lobs his load onto him next, and Kennedy gently massages a dripper onto his ginger pubes.

The last hour of the video is a round-robin orgy in the ring featuring Rhodes, Bobby Williams, Quest, Jay Armstrong, Jon Galt and Blu Kennedy. After some rough and realistic wrestling, we see lots of sucking and fucking, and some great watersports action (in the Director's Cut edition). Galt is the standout in this scene.

This is another solid video by Titan, and if you want to see more, viewers are encouraged to let Titan know, as it might make the wrestling format into a series of videos if it proves popular enough.
