It's time to take a look at some names and faces to keep an eye on this year and beyond. While there are plenty of names here, we're slightly premature since Raging Stallion is about to add to the list with a few new exclusives they've signed since the GayVN Awards. So look for a "sequel" to this blog entry when the word comes down from the studio.

 First there are a couple newer names we've mentioned already who are getting their big push as we write this and one name poised to make a comeback.
 
  Fans finally got a chance to see Hot House exclusive Paul Wagner (formerly known as Barry at Sean Cody) in action this past week as scenes from Skuff 4 started showing at the Hot House Backroom. Even before this happened you could tell Wagner was a big priority in the HH publicity machine because we saw several different sites that featured pics from the GayVN Awards and it looked as though Paul Wagner was just about everywhere. 
  As for the scene itself it's in keeping with the rest of the Skuff series, meaning it's rough and tough--definitely a big switch from Paul Wagner's Sean Cody videos. Plus, if this first scene is any indication, Skuff 4 isn't a carbon copy of past installments in this series. Scene one features Josh West taunting and orally dominating Wagner who is trapped inside a neon-lit cage. It gives him an eerie washed out and weakened look. But there's a twist here in this scene that will make you re-think the whole top-bottom dynamic.  

 Bruno Bond is making an even bigger splash at Raging Stallion than we expected---he's the star of this week's new release, the Tony DiMarco two disc movie Menace. As you recall, Bruno Bond joined Raging Stallion as an exclusive after he had done Red Light for Mustang (directed by bf Steve Cruz) and Dickin' Around for Hot House. In this case we're not too concerned with accuracy in predicting big things for Bond--because it's already happened.  Bruno Bond was the focus of a new Raging Stallion press release complete with sizzling hot pics and info and a big push on Menace. Even if this hadn't transpired, Bond's previous performances pretty much convinced us of his impending stardom. While we're on the subject of Menace we have no idea what it's about but it's got us hooked simply on the cast alone. It includes Bond, Steve Cruz, RJ Danvers, new exclusive Jason Crew,  and one of our top online faves David Taylor (who is in the Jet Set Men prison flick Screwed)

 Then there's the impending comeback of Jason Adonis. The openly straight dude was a big star at Falcon and then seemingly became a free agent. For the last couple years there have all kinds of rumors and confusion about what he was up to, but apparently that's done for now. Colt's John Rutherford recently posted on his blog that Jason Adonis has filmed a solo for any upcoming Minute Man video due out this summer. You'll be able to see it at the Colt site in advance of the DVD release.
  By the way, we've been mighty impressed the way things are going at Colt. Great site, great content, and a run of high-quality and very hot releases. In fact, we'll be reviewing one of the recent Colt releases later this week.  In the meantime it's worth checking out Colt for yourself.

  Coming up we take a look at brand new faces making the scene this year.
