As a long time fan of queer underground wrestling, but only from a voyeur's gaze, collaborating with Ash for this custom (my first) gave me the opportunity to enjoy this genre from a whole new perspective.

Ash gave me creative license to run wild with my ideas, allowing me to rummage through my archive of matches from my favourite wrestlers, past and present, and create a 'greatest hits' assortment of clips/inspiration, and envisage a dream match of my wildest fantasies; between Ash, the reining gut bash king, and Jason Aleqsander, who I think is one of the most exciting new talents to hit the scene.

I felt like no one has, so far, truly capitalized on Jason's star making potential. When Ash announced that Jason would be available for customs, I knew Ash would understand the brief and see the potential I saw in the rookie and utilize him in the most exciting way, given Jason's sensational abs/body/baby face; a classic Gut Bash match (with nods to one of my all-time favs, the legendary Eli Black).

Ash really listened and understood my references and baked it with his own vision and added his own magic and infused it with his personal flavour and spice, to conceptualize and deliver everything I could hope for, with some surprises thrown in!

The process was brilliant from beginning to end and Ash was an ab-solute joy to collaborate with while being utmost friendly and responsive these past couple of months. Jason Aleqsander met and surpassed my expectations, and I really hope we will get to see more of him utilized to his fullest potential. Thank you Ash + Jason!

Wow, Love it! :D This one is a gut bash classic. Forrest can take some serious punishment. Ash is a fantastic heel. Camera work is A+. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Ash and Forrest 100% captured what I wanted from this custom. 10/10.
