Tuesday December 26 2017 - Luchador	Recent matches
I wrestled Luchador (id 7894) last Friday (December 22). He came all the way from Mexico city and he was in Montreal for business. I took an Uber to get all the way to Pointe-Claire which is a district slightly west of downtown Montreal. It is otherwise pretty much hardly accessible by public transportation, but that's because these far and remote hotels usually costs much less than those at the heart of the city. Luchador impressed me a lot with his wrestling skills. I did had an advantage early on simply by sticking to my body scissors, but that all went in smokes once he knew how to avoid them. He then used his extensive experience to put me in strategic and complicated holds with his arms and body that made me tap twice. Smothering me with his chest was one way to push me to give up. He's also pretty agile and quick on his feet. He knows how to properly leverage his body and my own to tip the battle in his favor. I look forward for a rematch. He travels with this black fabric that is very ideal for wrestling. It's about 6 x 4 meters wide. I really ought to buy one of those because it's so practical and portable. It's not the typical blue polyethylene tarpaulin that you see in gardens. It's something more resistant to movements and that will stay flat and adhere to the carpet. It does move a bit anyway with all the force we are exercising on it, but not as much as it would move a tarpaulin. I'll have to do some research to determine exactly what he's using. You can see that he has been wrestling quite a while, because he knew his way around the hotel room, how to move the furniture around to get the appropriate amount of space for submission wrestling. Also, if you carry around the right materials, it's because you've endured in the past the irritation from carpet burns and you know not to rely on hotel mattresses and bed sheets as a stable (or unreliable) arena for submission wrestling. I used to travel with stretchable or elastic clips that stick the bed sheets to the bed, but this is the minor leagues compared to what Luchador is using. I initially did a grave mistake by thinking that Luchador was another wrestler that once came to Montreal. This is one of my big faults about me for not being able to identify properly all the wrestlers I've fought. The other wrestler, which has nothing to do with Luchador, was a wrestler who refused to wrestle me unless another wrestler I knew was also in the picture. That last sentence was enough of me to determine the type of person I was dealing with back then. That other person was also a video trader, and yes, I no longer traded any video with him again afterwards.
