Nice slow squash match here! An aggressive, seemingly angry Bret Hart delivers a stiff beating on a flamboyant jobber in brightly colored trunks: Chance Meyers. This humiliating jobber beating from 1985 was recently posted on YouTube.
Maybe this unfortunate wimp somehow pissed off the "Hitman" backstage. Or maybe Bret felt that those skimpy, rose-colored briefs disrespect the sport of rasslin, so he wants to punish this sissy-boy for wearing them. For whatever reason, Bret wants to harm this less skilled, less aggressive opponent (and for whatever reason, I'm turned on by it.). He uses his legendary Excellence of Execution to waste this weakling!
What caught my eye were the frequent crotch-shots, with a stunned Meyers opening his thighs wide and presenting his taint and bulge for our viewing pleasure. Is he deliberately degrading himself, knowing that many fans will eat that up?
Emasculation and humiliation seem to be the themes of the match: the panty-wearing wimp's helplessness and lack of agency contrasted with the supremacy of the masculine male in black. Power imbalances between two men can feel wonderfully homo-erotic.
We are invited to sit back and enjoy this Alpha Male inflicting whatever abuse he wishes on the nearly-naked bleach blond. Bret controls his prey and toys with the man, gradually wearing away any resistance to his authority.
In the end, a climactic Flying Fist Drop off the top rope leaves Meyers once again wide open to the camera as the ref counts him out. The defeated male is limp and deflated, as if he's in a post-coital stupor.
