>“At the bathhouse, Harley never gave us his real name,” recalls Joe F., who played with Race regularly at a St. Louis establishment called Decadence. “We sort of knew he was a big time pro wrestler, but that never came up in conversation: we just knew him as ‘Friction.’” Race’s nickname owed to his preference, well known around the club, for forgoing lubricant when engaging in anal play: “Spit only,” he’d growl to new men who lined up behind him. No stranger to pain in the wrestling ring, friends say Race liked the rough intensity of the act, even if scrapes, burns, and even bleeding would sometime occur after an extended session. He was a fixture around the club on nights when wrestling was in town, and patrons remember him as a man who didn’t speak much, but was always willing to test his physical limits with the right partner.— from Mark Smith’s new book Wet Nights: The Untold Story of America’s Gay Bathhouses (2025), p. 83.
>>19624278we love friction don't we folks
>>19624278SPIT ON THAT THANG
>Over time, “Friction” became something of a legend at Decadence. His presence lent the club a strange kind of celebrity allure—though few ever connected the quiet, stocky man in the dim back rooms with the flamboyant figure throwing bodies around in the ring on TV. “He was respectful, intense, and totally committed to whatever was put in him,” recalls another regular, known only as Jim C. “If you went with Friction, you had to be ready—he didn’t mess around, and he didn’t slow down.”>Despite the roughness of his preferences, Race’s partners almost universally describe him as conscientious—a man who understood the line between consensual brutality and actual harm. “He checked in, always,” says Dutch. “He had this way of locking eyes with you mid-act, like, ‘You good?’ It was silent, but you got it. That was his way.”>Off the mats and out of the dark, he was rarely seen. “He came and went like a ghost,” Joe F. says. “I don’t think anyone saw him arrive or leave—he’d just appear. Towel slung low, drink in hand, already scouting.”Page. 84
>>19624278Harley A.F Race
I refuse to believe any of this.
>>19624278>>19624301Oh dear…
>>19624335never been to a bath house with a pro wrestler before lilbro?
>>19624335Anus testing is the only way to prove toughness.
>>19624278>>19624301Is it true what they say about Harley F. R. Race?
>>19624278>>19624301is this reading material available to be ordered online?
>>19624278Flair has told similar stories before but in the midwest specifically one of the ways you would be tested on whether or not your would protect the business and kayfabe was if you were able to perform in the bathhouse
>>19624354No, OP is just a schizo unoriginal faggot trying to recapture the glory of 92 posting but he is an unfunny homosexual so these threads are always shit
>>19624367Are you calling Mark Smith a liar he's a New York times best selling author
>>19624363No because it's not real.
>>19624363you can pre order it on amazon
>>19624483>>19624510Prove it. So us an actual quote from the book from the author that mentions Harley Race. I will wait. I know you won't and can't since you made all of this shit up, but I'll give you a chance to actually get this dogshit meme over.
>He checked in, always,” says Dutch. Is that Dutch Mantel someone should ask him on his next ask Dutch podcast
>>19624545Yeah that's what I thought you fucking faggot lmao. You don't have shit except writing out your own homosexual fantasies that you invented out of thin air because you're not only gay, some wrestler that makes you seethe daily said Harley Race is the GOAT and you never let it go
>>19624549yeah thats probably it desu and i bet op is seething about phil lol
>>19624285What's the opposite of Friction that would be Kevin R Nash's name
>>19624560You will never be as funny or as over as Nash posters were and still are. Get your own meme loser.
>>19624278>>19624301Was he taking it or giving it? The OP implies he took it but why would someone getting their ass dry fucked ask the guy fucking him if he's good?
>>19624549>>19624559>>19624565Your really seething over your boy Friction just because he ended up being a bottom doesn't make his career any less
>>19624278Gay this and gay that.Why don't you just get a Grindr account and get laid instead of talking about faggots who want to be one on a wrestling board
>>19624589>your seething about my headcanon Nope. You're just desperately trying to cope about me exposing your gay meme for what it is.
This isn't exactly news.
>>19624589holy fucking jeet kek. anon was right.
>>19624644yeah cause it's made the fuck up lol
>>19624301>“He checked in, always,” says Dutch. “He had this way of locking eyes with you mid-act, like, ‘You good?’ It was silent, but you got it. That was his way.”
Everyone in the wrestling business is gay because they all do roids and once you come off them you cant produce testosterone on your own anymore so they turn into little sissy faggots that suddenly want to get their tight little assholes fucked
>>19624588Probably some kind of train like that human centipede movie
wow, so it's conclusively determined that harley race was a homosexual. the evidence speaks for itself
>>19624510I looked on amazon I don't see it I'm not sure if this is real
>>19624301>another regular, known only as Jim CKek
>>19625380Afriction so.
>>19626467Is.real
>>19626467i just checked on amazon and it's therepreorder only right now though
>>19624278>well known around the club, for forgoing lubricant when engaging in anal playIs this why they always refer to him as "one of the toughest men?"
God i love harley
>>19624301>Despite the roughness of his preferences, Race’s partners almost universally describe him as conscientious—a man who understood the line between consensual brutality and actual harm. “He checked in, always,” says Dutch. “He had this way of locking eyes with you mid-act, like, ‘You good?’ It was silent, but you got it. That was his way.”
>Growing up in a conservative family, Race wasn’t known to have the most progressive values, especially with things like race relations. “Yeah, it’s true, when it comes to your friends, your neighbors, who you went to church with, Harley pretty much believed that people should stick to their own kind,” recalls Bobby K, another popular figure of the St. Louis scene. “But at the club, it was a different story. When you were lined up behind Friction, it didn’t matter what race, creed, color, or nationality you were — as long as you could give him that burn, he didn’t care what you looked like.”— Smith, “Wet Nights,” p. 84
OP is mentally ill as fuck dude
>>19624278>Harley Races estate wont sue for defmanation because they don’t want his blown out friction ravaged butthole to go into discovery It’s real folks
>Peacocks, on the other hand, have been employed as a symbol of male queer desire for thousands of years in the Western tradition. Male peacocks are considerably more colorful than female peahens, and they engage in over-the-top display rituals that showcase their elaborately patterned feathers to other males in the flock. “The peacock is very flamboyant and not afraid of showing off and shaking his tail feathers. He is bedazzling, ornate and over the top,” says Anna Phylactic, a Drag Queen from Manchester, England. “And look honey, of course peacocks are queer — the word COCK is in their fucking name!” In terms of body art, the Greek historian and geographer Herodotus (484– c.425 BCE) makes note of men on certain islands off modern Spain and France who “did adorn their forearm with images of the male cock, to signal with its feathers a lust for their fellow man.” While the evidence is more speculative, rudimentary peacock tattoos have been found on pairs of Viking men who were interred together in Scandinavian bogs, a rare form of joint-burial that has led some researchers to conclude that the individuals were life-partners before their death. In the early days of modern tattooing, queer Victorian dandies and closeted circus strongmen equally inked themselves with male peacocks, and this carried over into the 20th Century. In the 1940s and 50s, in fact, peacock tattoos were one way that queer sailors in the U.S. Navy identified each other — especially ones who had served at Mediterranean ports — and the practice still continues today among some naval personnel, albeit on a smaller scale. Historically, the peacock tattoo has endured as one of the most unapologetically queer images that a man could permanently put on his body — and if contemporary social media is any indication, it’s a tradition that is fiercely being revived by more and more Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha gays. - Ken Collins, “Queer Ink: Gay Men and Their Tattoos,” p. 78.
>>19624278>from Mark Smith’s new book Wet Nights: The Untold Story of America’s Gay Bathhouses (2025), p. 83.This doesn't exist. I looked it up cause it sounded interesting and I couldn't find it anywhere. Can you help me out here?
>>19626982you won't find it anywhere because OP is severely mentally ill and writing this is how he spends his free time. OP is also a janny which is why these threads never get deleted. Furthermore, I regret to inform all of you that this same janny is also a convicted pedophile who was arrested back in 2008 for possession of CP. It videos that showed toddlers being raped, like the Lost Prophets lead singer. I know it's true because every time I post the publicly available information about I get banned for doxxing. Not even off topic, doxxing. That's the person who gets to decide what gets posted here and who made this thread.

>>19637079Boomer here, Friction's actions were common back then for wrestlers, it's also why Dusty needed a "muffler" for his constantly bleeding asshole.
Wait this is a wolfpedo meme? Fucking ew dude I feel like a need a shower now.
>>19637096Hold on, what's a butthole muffler?
>>19637378A type of buttplug used for medical purposes
>>19637378Many wrestlers would use mufflers to deal with having loose assholes, Dusty's was the most famous
>>19637270'fraid so. this thread in particular has all the hallmarks of his samefagging too.
>>19637410The friction this thread is causing is very amusing

Didn’t Hulk D. Hogan also frequent bathhouses with other naked men?
>>19638095look at the giant bottle of lube he has, what a fucking pussyno wonder harley hated that shitter

>>19637410>this thread in particular has all the hallmarks of his samefagging too.But enough about every single thread about Nash.
>>19640243Seethe harder wolfpedo lol. Your memes will NEVER be as over as Nash posting no matter how hard you samefag. 92 was and is organically over and funny. This meme and your lonely thread isn't.
Why does THIS meme make people so mad? And what does wolfcuck have to do with any of this
>>19640308Uncs don't like the truth about Harley Race
>>19624278You fucker I actually went and looked to see if this book was real
>>19640308You seem to be confusing the act of clowning on wolfie with seething. A common newfag mistake. Lurk moar.
>>19640308i grew up in one of the areas that used to be one of Harley's territories. he was my grandpa's favorite wrestler. i guarantee you if I started causally saying he liked getting fucked raw in the ass in gay bath houses my dad or my uncle or both would legitimately shoot on me even thought they don't even like pro wrestling.anyways, that's a lot of words to say there are definitively people posting here that are 50-70 year old white boomers.

I don't think I'll ever understand the gay community
>>19624278This shit is gold, it likes im reading the THIEFS JOURNAL.
>>19641561Basically it's all cope
Jim Cornette basically confirmed all of this on the podcast. He constantly talks about how wrestlers used to grab each other by the dick and balls and sit on each other's faces and fart and how he misses those days.
>>19641379what was decadence like back then
>>19641772Did Cornette like to feel that burn or give it? I don't have the money to buy the book.
>>19642094He prefers to watch people fuck his wife so it was truly an awkward time whenever he was at the bathhouse
>>19641804Going by this post >>19627222>>19627382It smell like decaying body's at Gettysburg
>>19624278Fr though my granddad often told me it was common knowledge back in the day that Harley Race was a homosexual

>>19624278i met Friction at a con once and when I asked him to sign an 8x10 he took my sharpie and inserted it into his asshole
>>19643944is this true
>>19643968rather small object for friction. he might have noticed you were feeling down that day. when he looked you straight in the eyes and said "you good?" how did you react?
People don't understand how uncomfortable this can be for the penetrative partner. The human anus was not designed to be stretched that way without the appropriate amount of lubrication. There's no give. Add a pelt of dense, wiry ass hair to the equation and you're just as likely to start bleeding as he is. It makes perfect sense that Friction would take the time to check in on his lover and make sure everything is chugging along as it should be.

>>19648609>When he took an “Atomic Drop,” a crowd-pleasing maneuver in which he was propelled posterior-first onto an opponent’s raised knee, Race always felt a private shudder — the tenderness fondly reminding him of the previous night’s encounter, and giving him a thrilling taste of what would be taking place again later that evening. p. 86

>>19636096wrestling's time honored tradition
> Wet Nights: The Untold Story of America’s Gay Bathhouses>The book reads like a piece of underground sports reportage, sketching a shadowed side of a famous wrestler’s life that contrasts sharply with his public persona. Through the recollections of people who knew him only by a nickname, it portrays a man who carried the same toughness, risk-taking, and appetite for intensity from the ring into private, hidden spaces. As a journalist, I’d say what’s most striking here is not the shock value but the human texture: a portrait of someone who lived without much separation between who he was onstage and who he was off it, embracing his extremes with a kind of raw honesty that makes the story feel vivid, if unsettling.— Marcus Ellery, St. Louis Sentinel
