Saturday February 11 2017 - Vicious and Kolter + Bella's price increase

Vicious (id 5128) is one of those wrestlers that is very often misunderstood. With a nickname like that and a description underlying that he likes dirty tactics (on top of adopting a mean persona when he talks to people), he is often shunned away. Ironically, he tells me that many guys refuse to fight him because he is either... too big... or too small. Like many other wrestlers, the key to wrestle Vicious is communication and establish what holds are legal and what holds are not.

I've had a rematch today with him.. I have to admit I haven't wrestled him since maybe 5 years ago, but I had quite a good time this time around. He did apply to me a couple of his dirty holds where he was pushing his fingers deep inside my armpits. Over the years, I've built a resistance to it, so I didn't mind... but he did flick me at one point near my chin and I told him: "No." and he diligently respected my wishes and never re-applied the hold. So yes, I told him what moves are okay and what moves are not.

We rented the ring for 2 hours and we mainly did sub, then switched to give and take. He was cool enough to take a few pictures provided that he wears a mask. I think next time however I'll ask him to wear different trunks, because in some of our other shots, it looks like a skirt. They are are supposed to be boxing shorts.

Vicious is seen here applying the traditional bearhug.

But what's a bearhug without one my dreadful revenge torture rack of vengeance? My second favorite hold.

I booked back-to-back the ring with another wrestler afterwards: Kolter was my opponent for the 3rd hour. You can see that Kolter here is a bit more technical due to his past wrestling experience. After all, he did get wrestling lessons given by a real professional wrestler, so he definitely knows his way around the ring. I don't even know the name of this hold, but it seems like a reverse arm bar with a knee lift.

I would apply the rack on him too, but Kolter prefers by far the Fireman's carry:

We had about 300 other pics in our session. Again, this is because of that nifty intervalometer on the camera. I'm not sure how I was able to survive in the past without this. In any case, I'll probably be able to re-use these images for a scenarized match some time in the future.

I just realized one of the reasons I hate these orange trunks is because of the thin fabric it is made with. You can see my crotch on many of those pictures, and on top of that, I was wearing another underwear underneath it, and yet, the crotch is still visible! I think I'll go back to the blue one... sigh.

On a side note, Bella increased the rental price of the ring from 40$ to 60$ an hour. It's still cheap considering that it's the only non-commercial individually-owned ring in the region of Montreal that doesn't require private insurance to use. My guess is that there has been an increase of people asking for the ring and maybe some people cancelling their appointments as well... which could be frustrating because it is quite some work to maintain a ring, to be there to receive the people to use it and then to clean up their mess. Other wrestlers have been telling me that the best way to reach her for the first time is through Facebook. She replies apparently promptly. If you gain her trust, I'm sure she'll give you her cell phone number for easier and faster communication. If you flake out of a rental, then good luck finding another ring in Montreal.

As someone has told me before, it takes years to build trust with someone, but it only takes a few seconds to completely lose it.

There are at least two other rings in Montreal that are owned by wrestling organizations, one by ICW and NCW, but I'm pretty sure they won't let you rent the ring without a private insurance that covers you in the case of injuries.
