Most wrestling fans probably know him primarily as Aryx Quinn, while fans of mainstream gay porn may more readily recognize him as Tristan Baldwin. This article explores the multifaceted persona of Aryx Quinn, delving into his wrestling career, ventures into mainstream gay porn, and other aspects of his life.
The Genesis of Aryx Quinn
The Aryx Quinn character’s origins were actually when he was a young teen playing Dungeons and Dragons. Aryx was everything he wasn’t: tall, strong, handsome, confident. For a pimply faced, unpopular, weak teen, he was a vessel in which to throw my dreams. Aryx was born, and into BG East he went. Out of respect for Kid Leopard, he kept the character’s name separate when taking it into a purely sexual role. The Tristan Baldwin moniker was a hybrid of two things. Apparently, he looks a bit like Stephen Baldwin, and some of his favorite characters have been named Tristan - namely Brad Pitt from Legends of the Fall, and Tristan from Tristan and Isolde.
Current Status and Future Plans
Right now, he is closest to the largest he has ever been in his life based on strength and muscular density. Given that he is at his peak muscle-wise, why on god’s green earth would he stop wrestling? Although there has been a slowdown at Can-Am regarding production of a lot of wrestling videos, it is his intent to jumpstart that soon. Although there are a lot of talented wrestlers he’d like to face that are in BG East, given that the two feds do not intermix, it is unlikely that these matches will come about. More likely than anything else, he’ll be participating in a bodybuilding show in the spring.
The Divide Between Can-Am and BG East
When he arrived at Can-Am and laid down what has to be the sexiest trash-talking homoerotic wrestling challenge in history with a naked, sweat and cum soaked Rusty Stevens in Arena 1, there’s some pretty explicit Boston-trashing going on from both of them. As far as infusing energy into their product, he is not the one with the checkbook, so unfortunately he doesn’t have the last say. Ron is doing very well with his main stream porn product line so the wrestling has, unfortunately, fallen to the wayside for him. He is hoping to convince him otherwise. He has a great flair for the dramatic and knows what wrestling products will sell well, but there is only a finite limit of how much time there is in the day to produce content. As far as the comments trashing the East Coast and a certain Boston-based company, all he can say is that loyalty to a person should exceed everything else. The same mindset is not embraced in the leadership at BG East. For every new fish you think you’ll hook on the line you lose two that you already have on the strainer. Hard feelings? Lots of them.
Highlights of His Wrestling Career
The battle with Rusty Stevens was one of the most climactic in his career. Both muscle wise and verbal wise, he’s one of the few that could bring it to the next level. Other guys that he absolutely enjoyed wrestling were guys like Nick Archer. Such brawn, such brains, such bravado. Mike Colombo was another great wrestler that he loved squaring off with. However, they never taped anything for BG East. It was all outside the ring. Wrestling with Brad Rochelle was also interesting. At one point in the match (the Contract) he legitimately hurt him…was unintentionally very stiff. Brad absolutely lost it on him and for a good 10 minute segment of that match.

Memorable Matches and Sexy Encounters
As far as matches that stick out in the sexy category, to him sexiness is associated with suffering and dominance. The match with AJ Irons definitely falls into that bracket. To see him suffer so beautifully, such a great body on display, crying and murmuring in pain, is hot to him. He takes his beating like a real man, and he came back for more later, trust me. He loves singlets especially singlets that are pulled halfway down from the shoulders, pinning the arms. Also loves trees of woe and holding guys in the corner and in the ropes. AJ takes a beating like you’ve never seen before. Ron actually had to stop the taping at one point because he was throttling him so hard. But he was loving every second. That kid was born to be a jobber.
Bodybuilding and Physical Development
He wouldn’t say he is at the exact top of his point of conditioning, but he is getting there. Once he does a few ” supplements” he thinks he’ll be in a better position to be competitive. Plus, he really needs to tighten down the diet. His shoulders and biceps are always the biggest naturally and easiest part to train, whereas his chest and legs are the worst. He really has this mental block against training legs, unfortunately, just because he travels so much.
Personal Life and Interests
Outside of wrestling and working out, Aryx Quinn adores a tiny little black puppy named Madison… dresses her up in outfits and the whole 9 yards. In the military he served as a paratrooper, so skydiving is still a great past time for him. He just doesn’t have the time to do it as much anymore. He has a personal rig and everything, but just doesn’t jump that often. He actually loves to cook and is a huge fan of swordfish, steaks, scallops, shrimp, and especially clams like little necks, cherrystones, and quahogs. Huge fan of the outdoors and being in the sun, so places like Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles and Florida are on his list of priorities, year round. Prefer to be hot than cold any day.
Military Service and "Boom-Boom Room"
The army was an interesting time for him. He grew up very small - not very muscular - just lean and fast, but not very bulky. He swear, he put on 30 pounds the first summer when he enlisted. It really did make a man out of me. He was stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina with the 82nd airborne, and then later with USACAPOC, part of SOCOM (special operations command). Because your basic needs of food and housing are taken care of, it allows you a lot of time to concentrate on what you really enjoy… your body, going out, reading, movies. There was also a room at the end of the hall where they put extra mattresses… entire room was covered them. They called this the boom-boom room. If two guys had an issue they could go into the room, fight it out, wrestle it out, choke each other out, beat each other, get it out of their system.
Aryx Quinn went to college for criminal justice but obviously not into enforcing the law …he is into breaking it. As far as economics or marketing, he has definitely always had more of a business mind than a law-enforcement mind. Social deviance. That’s him in a nutshell.
