Since the new Sony Max (DStv 126) channel that kicks off on 1 February at 21:00 will bring South African viewers some CMML: Arena Mexico wrestling for the first time - Mexican wrestling where the wrestlers fight with masks - the official launch of the new Sony Max channel earlier this evening sported some studly guys with very impressive physiques.
They're not really wrestlers but the toned and sculpted six pack brigade stood next to the red carpet welcoming guests to the Sony Max launch. Later two of them got into a real wrestling ring (impressive!) that was set up on stage, and later they walked around with big silver trays (it must have been heavy which is why they were asked) serving really great food.

A group of guys who obviously put in some hard hours at the gym showed some serious muscle and donned some crazy Mexican wrestling masks as they welcomed guests next to the red carpet at the official Sony Max channel launch on DStv earlier this evening in Johannesburg.
The Sony Max presentation happened on a stage resembling a wrestling ring. This photo show its from above. . .
...and here it is from the front where the guests and TV critics and writers sat
and watched and listened to the presentation.
After the official Sony Max presentation some seriously outrageous wrestling took place. So the dudes aren't Mexican. And they ain't wrestlers. But it was funny and in keeping with the theme of CMML: Arena Mexico being shown on the channel and for a new channel launch it was all very well conceptualized.
I snapped some of the guys in front of the wrestling ring.
