Porn Valley Dispatch: Tylene Buck Stops Here

My own wrestling career ended ignominiously in eighth grade with a non-regulation suplex perpetrated on my person by the girls' volleyball team, but I have never lost interest in the sport that gave us The Rock, Andre the Giant, and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka.

Nascent porn siren Tylene Buck was at this weekend's Erotica L.A. and, while she denied my request for a leg drop, talked about the wrestling-to-porn transition. Read more after the gap.

I'd met Buck on the set of "Cousin Stevie's Pussy Party" several months ago. It was her first day in porn and she was changing her name to Brandi Wylde to distinguish it from the one wrestling fans recognized.

The name change didn't last, as recognition from her years as a World Champion Wrestling personality (she also loved and feuded as a character named Major Guns) has increased her popularity as a porn star.

"We couldn't dress too sexily because wrestling is still seen as family entertainment," she said. "It's the same with NASCAR; you can only show so much."

I'd had a very similar conversation recently with porn performer Cheyenne Hunter who, similar to Buck, has a lot of fitness modeling in her portfolio. Hunter observed that companies that normally hire women for events and promotions, like Budweiser or Hawaiian Tropics, want women to be sexy, but not porn sexy.

While a model hawking a new rum at a bar, giving away free t-shirts, etc. might be ideal for porn, the progression rarely goes the other way.

I asked Buck if her audience was making the leap.

"So are your fans from wrestling glad that there isn't so much left to the imagination anymore?" I asked.

"Definitely," she said, "but I'm going slowly. They keep asking me to do anal. I'm like, 'I just started - give me a little time!'"

Buck then said my shirt looked good on me, which might have been every bit as staged as Hulk Hogan's allegiance to the nWo, but it was like she had hit e over the head with a folding chair of kindness.
