Wednesday September 20 2017 - MikeGive and take
I've decided to try something different for a change... I installed Tinder on my phone and started experimenting with it. I mentioned on my own profile as a description that I am either a cuddler... or a wrestler.

A guy from Newfoundland eventually came in touch with me last week-end. I'll dub him as "Mike". He asked me if I was into wrestling. He is someone that likes to be worked over, but he never wrestled before. Before we met, we spoke about our favorite wrestlers and the holds he preferred. I try to get a sense or a heartbeat of his wrestling interest before I go on an adventure...

I came to his hotel and I see this handsome and tall guy: 6'2", 300 lbs. His height evenly distributes his weight so he doesn't look that big or heavy. I put on him the basics and try to teach him a couple of moves. He doesn't have any Globalfight or MeetFighters profile, but with good reason: a search shows about 3 wrestlers in that province, so it's almost pointless.

After a quick chat to calm him down, I started showing him a few wrestling maneuvers: my bearhug was laughable, but my scissors did do something. I then switch to more basic holds: camel, boston, grapevine, armbar, etc. I apply all my holds lightly and release quickly so I don't leave any kind of trauma or pain for his first experience. Of interest, he did ask me to flex while I was on top of him during a semi-schoolboy pin. He then told me to force him to kiss my.. uh.. bicep.

I would have loved to rack him too, but doing this on a bed would be asking for an accident. My mission here is to show that wrestling is fun, rather than scaring the s*** out of him. I personally liked our meet, but I felt he was tense and quite shy about it. That's normal for anyone's first time. I kept it short since he had a long work week. I told Mike to call me back if he wanted more scissors or nelsons. He's in town for business and he'll be staying for a little while, so maybe I'll get to teach him a couple more moves.



Fast forward a few years later, I later found out that he created himself a profile on MeetFighters under the pseudonym Newfie709. :)
