We all have our fetishes and kinks. There are so many audiences and so many markets. One of the most niche, but also one of the most enthusiastic markets is the wrestling market. People just love to see guys fight it out before they fuck it out. A Miami-based content creator who is making a huge splash in this market is Gabe Steel. This bodybuilding Puerto Rican is about as macho and masculine as it gets and yet he is also a self-described sub. In addition to his rapidly growing wrestling videos, Gabe is also shifting into full-on sex collaborations and has shared strong ambitions to do studio work. In his first public interview, he shares how he came to this business and his plans to become a star.

Could you start by giving us a few basics? Name? Age? Occupation(s)? Relationship status? Where are you from?
My name is Gabe and I am 40 years old. My occupations are mostly in the entertainment business such as pro wrestler/porn newcomer and fetish content creator. I am a proud Puerto Rican hailing from beautiful Aguadilla!
What has brought you to the world of Gay Porn?
Quite honestly for me, it all started growing up watching porn. One of my many favorites was Jeff Palmer, I couldn’t get enough, lol. In the back of my mind, the thought always lingered as to whether that could be me one day on set performing for all to see. But I did not have the confidence to try it out at the time. It wasn’t until I started wrestling later on in my 30s. Unlike the regular wrestling we see on TV, these companies marketed more towards the gay community and had several kinks involved. In wrestling like in porn you have one guy that dominates and the other that gets dominated. Many elements such as the skimpy Speedo’s muscular bodies in a power exchange to dominate one another, and other some light play such as kissing, crotch-grabbing, and the domination element to it all. I started to feel more comfortable on camera and built the confidence to break into gay porn and, needless to say, I wish I would have started sooner.

What have you done so far? How have those experiences been?
My first porn video was with Aaron Trainer. Honestly, I was so nervous. I knew what to expect but I was in my head "Omg! This is happening, I am doing this, lol!" Aaron was so great in calming me down and getting me to that headspace I had to be in to relax and just let everything flow. He is awesome and I’m sincerely grateful to him for walking me through it. Needless to say, I think I made him work extra hard but then again that’s kinda the point. Also got to work with the amazing Dom Llamas and he has been my mentor in the industry. I don’t think I would’ve done as much as I have if it wasn’t for him. The opportunities I have had working with Dom have been epic, he’s helped me collaborate with some amazing people such as Alex Tikas, MagicMike, and many others. Through him, I met Jeffrey Armani who has been an amazing friend. We hit off some epic collabs every time I work with Jeffrey and Dom, it’s magic. Everything just flows, must say they are great experiences. I am thankful to all.

How did you specifically break into the wrestling video market?
I have always loved wrestling growing up and always found it to be so hot and had erotic elements, at least in my eyes lol. It wasn’t until 2015 that I started my underground wrestling career. I wrestled a friend and he told me about this website that specifically connects with other guys who are into wrestling and erotic wrestling. I was so excited to know that there were many others with the same kink as me. It was a few months after I got discovered by one of the underground wrestling companies, wrestlingmale.com, and they invited me to a shoot. That was the first time I was in a ring. My adrenaline was going and then blew my mind when I met the other wrestlers whose videos I would watch and, well, you know, lol. Needless to say, my cock was hard and I knew then it was what I wanted to be a part of. I was very new to the scene and did not have much experience or know what to do, so the guys took the dominating role which I didn’t mind at all - I certainly wasn’t complaining. After that experience, I decided I wanted that for myself. To be honest, it was a long journey as it was challenging. Many companies wanted a specific look - the muscles, the abs, the pretty boy's face, there was a certain look they went for and I wasn’t it. At the time I lacked the confidence to see I already had those things, so I took another route. I was determined to prove to myself that I had what it takes. I started learning the holds, the moves, and how to play to the camera thanks to my dear, departed friend Rye Mullis. He mentored me, believed in me, and told me I would be one of the giants of underground wrestling. I got an opportunity with the company bgeast.com and it was one of my goals; it felt amazing to be there and see everything unfold. After that the company wrestler4hire.com had me come down for a shoot, I was star-struck to see all my favorites there especially Cameron Matthews. He gave me the chance to get in there and prove myself. I was so nervous I blew it, but was determined to do this. A few months went by and I got another chance with him and it just clicked. It was like magic! Everything I practiced came to me move by move; he asked me, "Who are you? The same guy that was here a few months ago? Dude, that was insane great work!" I was so happy and ecstatic. I knew if I wanted to continue I already had the skill, now time for the transformation. I took some time off to train get fit and come back stronger with confidence and I have done it ever since. Thanks to all who helped me in my journey, especially my trainer Johnny Diez. He believed I could achieve my goals and worked hand in hand to get me there.

What is it about this genre that appeals to so many? Why does it appeal to you personally?
Honestly, many elements to it appeal to many depending on what they are into. For example, some guys are into the gear - the tight spandex, the boots, the overall wrestler look. Others are all about the domination of the heel which is the dominant one in the match destroying his jobber, the sub, methodically taking his time and taking pleasure in his suffering. For others, it’s watching the jobber get dominated envisioning themselves in his position, craving the domination. As it is homoerotic wrestling, there are different kinds of matches such as nude oil matches that appeal to many as well as superheroes and villains, which many like and have fantasies with; and let’s not forget the wrestle-for-stakes matches where the loser gets fucked in the end. For me, it’s all of these elements combined. I can have a match and make it into a fantasy and bring that fantasy to life for myself and many others who watch my videos and I do what I love. Having done both roles the heel (dominant ) and the jobber (dominated), I’ve experienced both ends of it. My favorite, to be honest, is the jobber who loves to get dominated in the ring but can turn around and deliver the same like no other, lol.

What are some other genres and types of scenes you’ve done? How have they been?
I have done many genres in wrestling because it is so versatile in the type of scene you want to put out. I’ve done many scenes such as superhero scenes, bondage scenes, wrestle for top, oil matches, pro wrestling matches also many matches with role-play involved. They all have been amazing for me because many of these genres are kinks I am into and enjoy a lot.
Are there any other genres you would still like to perform in? Which ones?
I haven’t done a royal rumble scene where there are multiple wrestles in the ring fighting to determine who is the last man standing Another I would like to try is a dog collar match, which is with men collared and chain-attached wrestling for the alpha male, with the consequence for losing being bound and fucked in the end, the victorious claiming his prize. There are other genres with mixed wrestling, men and women, I’ve never done any match like that before. The last one would be a 3 vs 1 match where the jobber gets demolished by the 3 alpha studs, the dominated being me, of course, and they take turns on me after. What a fantasy! For the royal rumble I would like guys like Brendan Byers, Johnny Firestorm, Monstah Mike, Tanner Rypley, Caleb Mc Nair, and Vangore, and a dog collar match I'd love to have with Brendan Byers, and the mixed wrestling with Gia Love. she’s awesome. For the 3 -1, I would have to say Johnny Firestorm, Brendan Byers, and Vangore.

Who is Gabe outside of making porn? Hobbies? Interests? Beliefs?
I am a very happy person who enjoys socializing, making friends, and living a drama-free life. My hobbies I’d say are that I love to travel and see the world and experience different cultures and traditions. I am also very dedicated to the arts. I am self-taught when it comes to playing piano. I can hear the chords and then play them on the piano. I can say I’m an extrovert mostly, however, I do protect my energy, so depending on what energy whoever is around me puts out, I know how to address them. My interest is bodybuilding, living life to its fullest, and always striving to grow as an individual and be financially stable to take care of myself and mine. I’m a firm believer that there are no limits to what you can achieve, the only thing that can stand in your way is yourself, always strive to be the best version of yourself. I am very competitive with myself, I challenge myself every day to learn to grow and to be better than I was yesterday.
What is your favorite sexual activity?
This one is hard, lol, as I have many kinks involved. If you read through this, you know I love being a sub. I like vanilla sex as much as the next guy, but very into BDSM and enjoy many aspects of it that overall take sex to a whole new level as it includes not only the sexual act but also includes the mind, if you can connect both, then goddamn - total ecstasy.

What is your favorite thing about sex overall?
My favorite thing about sex is the connection you can have with a person during it. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes sex can be just that, we’ve all had our hookups here and then. But when you can connect with the person it makes the sex mind-blowing. Aside from that the act itself, when you allow yourself to let go and indulge in your desires - whatever they may be - and enjoy yourself with no regrets.
What do you think it takes to become a true "Porn Star"?
I haven’t been in the porn industry long as I am a newcomer. From what I have experienced, one of the main things I believe it takes to be a porn star is confidence. The industry can be very cutthroat and competitive and you are putting yourself out there for the world to see. Taking that step, you have to be comfortable in your skin, be comfortable with your body, and overall, when you do your content, you have to know you are in your element and you have to have thick skin. There will always be criticism, whether it is maybe constructive or not, you have to be strong enough to handle it. Take what builds you up and move forward in your journey. I feel that when you begin, you have to have patience and understanding that it takes time to build yourself up and not get discouraged if things aren’t going the way you expected them. Also, you have to protect your energy and know who you’re working with. Some people see that you are new and might take advantage of that and use you for their gain, so you have to be cognizant of whom you surround yourself with and whom you trust. The only person looking out for you is you. You must also know how to work well with others, however, also know when to say no respectfully to others if you do not feel the connection is right. I’ve learned that if I don’t feel good about the content I made, how do I expect others to like it? Pride yourself on what you produce.
Do you have what it takes?
I know I have what it takes to move forward in this journey and I'm extremely confident I will grow into a well-known creator in due time. Until then I will continue working hard to learn as much as I can and to be the best representation of my brand.
