Friday April 6 2018 - Not your usual hold

Fun4Us (id 8822) will probably kill me for taking so much time between my posts. Truth be told, my days have been void of wrestling action for these past few months. I should be catching up on this temporary MIA status in the season to come as we get out from this dreadful winter. I'm like a bear hibernating and avoiding our mountain of snow.

As I browsed through my past matches, I took a few screenshots from holds that are not the usual ones I tend to employ all the time... due to my lack of imagination. Here's a Reverse Ground Bearhug applied on WalterG (id 2846). Why is this unusual? Most of my bearhugs are standing, but Walter here wanted to experiment a different kind of bearhug. Done this way, you exert less energy since you don't have to deal with the intricate effects of gravity.

This one here is from Chinlock (id 7994), applying gracefully a technical Ankle Lock or Ankle Twist. This was extracted directly from his personal rendition of All Star Wrestling montage. I should be able to post another clip from this pretty soon.

I've learned this next hold from WolfJobber (id 8490) who calls it the Jacknife. In this vulnerable position, EvilDark (id 1077) can technically steer away by hitting my pouch with his ankle... It's actually quite painful when done this way.

Speaking of which, I had another brief week-end in Quebec with EvilDark during the St. Patrick's (a couple of weeks ago). We took it easy again, but on my way home, I was stuck in the train for a couple of hours. The transport company courteously issued a rebate for all affected passengers. The deal expires in 6 months, so I guess I'm due for another trip to Quebec before my voucher is gone.

I also received word from Bella, the ring owner, that she might have a place set up in June. Something tells me that I will soon spring back into action!
