Pitbull Productions' headliner Tiger Tyson, 31, was recently inducted into the GayVN Hall of Fame; here he gives a partial glimpse of how that came about. A mainstay of Blatino porn since 1997, Tyson has a street-trade aura tempered with a wry sense of mischief, a lean and toned physique, and a luminous smile. In Steel Curtain, he's paired with Jason Tiya, one of the most versatile and charismatic African-American models in the business. But this potentially explosive combo turns out to be less than the sum of its parts.

The best section of the 27-minute Tyson-Tiya sequence is an opening bit where the models sit together fully clothed, comparing notes about how they got into the porn industry and indulging in friendly one-upmanship about who has received more coverage in Black Inches magazine.

The sex that follows could have been an erotic summit meeting, but it's basically one more illustration of Tyson's insistence on limiting himself to topping all comers — an insistence that has earned him, perhaps unfairly, a reputation for being strictly gay-for-pay.

Tyson also has a scene where he lures bottom-boy Fly Guy up to his room with a promise of workout tips, and proceeds to put Fly Guy through some strenuous body work, with emphasis on sphincter muscles.

The remaining four segments are run-of-the-mill turns for other models, though a pair named Viper and Chaos brings their scene briefly to life.
