Thursday September 30 2021 - A tag team match... finally! :)

Signs of a recovery and that things have finally started to go back to normal: I had two wrestlers from out of town coming to Montreal for a match.

Sunny DeLeon from Winnipeg, Manitoba and TxWresl (id 3061) from San Antonio, Texas were in to town today, so we've set up a match with BicepDude (id 5450) for a tag team match.

The blue team consisted of BicepDude and Sunny DeLeon while the red team was me and TxWresl. Obviously, in this case, blue was the jobber team and red was for the heels.

Funny thing is that Sunny has the build and composure of a heel and he also has BJJ training, but he came back from a wrestling meet in Sherbrooke mostly racked and exhausted, so we've decided to make it easy for him. Had he wrestled me sub, he probably would have destroyed me easily. Lucky for me, since this was a jobber/heel session, I get to destroy him and his tag team partner BicepDude.

Later on, we switched it around, did one on ones, so I get a pulse of everybody. I went easy on TxWresl and we played lightly, trade a few holds. BicepDude defended himself well and it was a bit tough to put holds on him. Sunny was an obedient jobber letting me lock on him holds after holds, but I know he can easily defend himself... maybe less now, but in full power when he recovers for a rematch eventually. 🙂

Here's a pic of me racking Sunny.

If you do join Sunny's Instagram, I believe he posted our video. I hope you'll enjoy. 😉 You can also see it here under [

Clip ID 418 ], but there is a voting requirement because I wasn't sure if Sunny was going to post the un-edited video on a social network.

I did not do my homework and did not check the recommendations and history of Sunny DeLeon, but he apparently fought for a couple of wrestling video companies. He's very humble about it. Both Sunny and TxWresl are great opponents that I would love to wrestle them again.

Sunny also taught me how to do sleepers correctly (or rear-naked chokes). I am marking it down here because knowing myself, I will probably forget about it soon. The pressure is on the sides, so you form a V with your left elbow around the neck, but the V is never supposed to squeeze the front part of the neck. It's the left bicep and the forearm that do the squeezes on the side of the neck while the left arm reaches for the bicep on the right arm and the right hand pushes slightly the head of the opponent forward. I know... described this way, it looks like a convoluted maze, but that's why I probably should have taken a video. 😂

A funny highlight of our session was a reverse grapevine that I was putting on Sunny. I was behind him and we were both lying down on the mattress. My legs were interlocking his legs to stretch him, but I've noticed that his head was dangling in mid-air in this hold and he wasn't exactly comfortable... The way I've locked him, he can't lean his head on my chest, so I took a pillow and put it on my chest. I guess he didn't quite exactly expect that and he ended up bursting into laughter. 😂 On one end, I'm torturing him by stretching his legs, but on the other end, I want to make sure he is comfy. What kind of a heel am I? 😉

Sunny and TxWresl invited me for supper afterwards where we had a very nice evening talking about our wrestling experiences and how things went on for us for the past few years. These guys gave me hope: if they can travel, I can travel as well. Maybe soon enough.

TxWresl told me that he had the honor of wrestling a fellow wrestler with an online wrestling handle/pseudonym of Lowe and another one with Steve Mason. They both wrestled for various companies. He cherished those matches and he was happy to introduce these two wrestlers to the first few matches, which helped them blossom and discover our fun world of underground wrestling.
