Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling

Common card · No. 211876

Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling (Japanese: ガチムチパンツレスリング, Hepburn: Gachimuchi Pantsu Resuringu, lit. "Beefy Briefs Wrestling"), commonly shortened to gachimuchi, is an internet meme and subculture that originated on the Japanese video sharing website Nico Nico Douga in 2007. It consists of mash-up videos, remixes and animations built from clips of low-budget 1990s American gay pornography, principally wrestling scenes featuring the actor Billy Herrington. The genre takes its name from gachimuchi (ガチムチ), Japanese gay slang for a heavily muscled, thickset physique. Its humour derives from the hypermasculine posturing, stilted acting and narrative clichés of the source films, and from deliberate mishearings (soramimi) of English dialogue as Japanese. More than 15,000 gachimuchi parody videos had been uploaded to Nico Nico Douga by 2018.
