Dear Creators,

We are currently introducing Actor Consent and Identification for video uploads on WatchFighters.

The goal of this system is straightforward:
to ensure that every person appearing in a video has given consent and is verified as 18+, while keeping the process as simple and transparent as possible for creators and actors.

What this means

For each uploaded video, creators are asked to confirm who is visible on screen and to identify all participating actors.
Depending on the role, different rules apply:

• Channel owners and confirmed co-creators
  Do not require additional identification or consent. (opt-out)

• Fighters or other visible participants
  Must complete a one-time identification and consent process. (opt-in)
  During this process, actors may optionally approve consent for the creator’s channel for the next 30 days. (opt-out)

Once an actor is verified, they can be reused for future videos without repeating the full process.

How the process works

• Don't Panic!

• During upload, you are guided through a short, step-by-step flow.

• Actors who require identification receive a secure link by email. No paperwork handling on your end is required.

• For studios or channels with their own consent workflow, supplying existing actor identification and supporting documents is supported.

• The video review proceeds automatically once all required actors are verified.

For actors

No WatchFighters account is required.

Actors are asked to:

• Confirm their email

• Confirm their identity

• Confirm they are over 18

• Give consent to appear in the specific content

• Optionally approve consent for the creator’s channel for the next 30 days

The process is secure, limited in scope, and used only for compliance and consent verification.

Rollout status

• Actor Identification is available now!

• During the transition period, skipping may still be possible in some cases.

• Actor Identification will become mandatory for all new uploads once the rollout is complete.

• If you encounter any issues, please let us know so we can monitor and adjust the system accordingly.

Actor ID and consent happens before a video is reviewed by site staff. Keep this in mind when planning your releases.

Why we are doing this

This system protects:

• Actors, by ensuring consent and visibility into where they appear

• Creators, by providing a clear compliance trail

• The platform, by maintaining consistent legal and age-verification standards

Questions or issues?

If something is unclear or an actor needs help completing identification, our support team is available directly from the interface.

Best Regards,

WatchFighters

Hi!

We would like to share an early announcement of our upcoming live events in 2026, to help with planning, especially for those traveling from further away. 

Based on your feedback, both events are planned to include plenty of opportunities for collaboration and filming. 

WrestleFest Europe — May 2026

• WrestleFest Europe – Berlin, Germany
• 13–17 May 2026

WrestleFest Berlin is already in active planning.

WatchFighters will host a dedicated fighting stage, with matches planned to be professionally recorded for creator monetisation. In addition, we secured exclusive filming locations during the event, offering further opportunities to produce content.

And for fans and viewers - unsure what to expect?

• Watch last year’s video

Folsom Europe — September 2026

Save the Date:

• Folsom Europe – Berlin, Germany
• 10–13 September 2026

After our debut at Folsom last year, we will be returning in 2026 and would be happy to involve our content creators again.

Based on your feedback from last year, we are planning:

• Professional filming support (camera team and lighting)

• Delivery of recordings to creators for monetisation

• A dedicated filming location after Folsom with mats and additional gear booked only for content creation and collaboration.

Unsure what this looked like last year?  Watch last year’s video. Below are some impressions:

The peaceful night before - Security is hard at work guarding our Fight Stage.

Final touches on the booth as the first creators arrive.

 

Final checks with the stand builders and security ahead of opening.

Countless guests queued up to wrestle with our guys, keeping the mats busy from 12 am to 10 pm with nonstop action. 

At one point, the constant crowd in front of our fight area even raised security concerns about blocked emergency exits, something the Folsom team or we had not anticipated. Who would have thought that sexy, hot guys gut-punching, fighting, and grabbing balls could attract so many Folsom visitors?

The journey from our booth to the main stage, 5 minutes to showtime. Time to use our muscles and push through the crowd.

On the main stage for an improvised three-man moment. The crowd went wild. (You find the full scene here at 14:20)

After the show, our guys were celebrated by the crowd and cheered on for their muscles.

Thank you! And see you next year!

Wanna see more? Watch the full movie of our 2nd stage show. Featuring, Noby, Santiago Sandoval, Baba Sultan, Dirka, DennyHellbo and Twinkfighter.

If you are considering joining us as a content creator, please let us know. This helps us plan capacity and resources in advance.
For those who joined us last year, we hope to see you again and are always happy to receive feedback.

This is an early announcement; more detailed information will follow closer to the events.

Best regards,
WatchFighters

Dear All,

We at WatchFighters have two main missions: FIRST, to bring you the best platform to sell your fighting videos, and SECOND, to drive you completely insane with the sheer volume of new features that we inflict up on you release to you!

• Three months ago, we released Live streaming, and now we are planning to upgrade it further with private streams and more!
• Last month, we released the Group messages, a unique and powerful platform for marketing your creations to your loyal fans. Initially this feature was made available to Pro channels, and we are now preparing to roll it out to all channels (expect it to drop around mid-July).
• And right now, we have something very special: Community Projects!

What are community projects about?

Glad you asked! It is our latest effort in bringing creators and viewers together in an effort to create ever more ambitious video projects.

Think of it as the opposite of "Custom Requests", which allows a viewer to commission a special project from one of his or her favorite channels. With Community Projects, it is the creator that comes up with an idea for a new video. And an AMAZING idea it is, but it is unique, expensive to create, and therefore risky... But what if the creator could get pledges from future viewers UPFRONT, before the project even began?

Enter Community Projects!

• 💡 A creator proposes an idea of a video, going into great detail and coming up with a budget.
• 💸 Then, the fans come and FUND THE PROJECT, giving the creator peace of mind that his efforts will not lead to financial ruin and homelessness, because the money will be right there when he is finished and delivers!
• 💙 Fans can pick different tiers of funding and get rewards for their enthusiasm and trust!

Everybody wins (unlike in wrestling, where there's usually a very clear loser!).

To start off, we are happy that Abs Art created his first project: Bruno and the Fraternity - PART 3. So you can see how it can look And maybe get inspired yourself.

The feature is available for free for all Pro Channels. Have a look at ourCommunity Projects page where we have a detailed explanation and a short FAQ.

Best Regards,
WatchFighters

Dear All, 

Folsom Europe is a famous annual queer festival in Berlin. And for the first time, we are attending this event and have a 9 x 3 meter stand, including 3 x 3 meters of wrestling mats! (We'll also have seating, drinks, and a punching bag.) 

Join Us at Folsom

We invite everyone in our community to join and visit us at the Folsom Street Fair on Saturday, August 30, 2025, from 10:00 to 22:00.  You’ll be able to wrestle, hang out, take pictures, join games and competitions, and win prizes.

Represent Our Community

In addition, we're looking for a small group of passionate members to help represent your channel, our fetish, our sport, and the MeetFighters / WatchFighters community.

The idea is to "show, not tell": let people visiting Folsom see what we do for real. In addition to wrestling, there will be opportunities to chat with fans, pose for photos, and maybe even hand out discount codes for your channel. You are also welcome to create content on the mats, film, live stream, or just play around. 

We’ll provide:

• Branded singlets, shorts, and towels (yours to keep!)

• Drinks and snacks, 

• A shower to stay fresh throughout the day

We considered a budget to hire entertainers, but honestly, we’d much rather give that opportunity to members of our community who actually understand what our platform and kink are all about.

Take the Stage

Furthermore, we’re also preparing a live show on the Folsom stage and are looking for members who want to help us bring it to life. Show the world what our community is about.

Recap: 

• 📍 Folsom Europe in Berlin: August 27–31, 2025 
• 🎪 Street Fair Festival: Saturday, August 30 (main event day!) 
• 🕙 Time: 10:00–22:00 
• ✅ We’re looking for creators, volunteers, photographers, and social media pros to bring the stand to life, showcase our fetish, assist with running the stand, and capture the day.
• 🎶 Take part in our live stage show.

If you're in, please confirm your availability for that weekend. More details will follow soon.
