Friday June 24 2016 - Back to the roots with bearhugs!Archives
After having exceeded all my quota of torture racks in my last few posts, I think it's time I go back to the roots and put up a couple more bearhugs.

I was browsing into my archives again today and dug up a few memories from April 2012 against Elrac (id 692). I have yet to write a story for this one.... it would go into chapter 3 since I've already posted 2 previous matches with him.



The second bearhug below comes from the NYC Wrestlefest in 2014. That year, they held it in March to accommodate different wrestlers. They've since switched it back to February. This is one of my better bearhugs because it was taken by a photographer during my open room event. You see me trying to give all my might against the famous GrJobber (id 180).



There are 2 elements of interest in the picture above: you can see GrJobber selling it pretty well by holding my arms trying to break away from the bearhug. It does make a nice pose.

Second point to note is that I should have cleaned up the room a bit... If you take a look at the background, you can actually see several bed sheets, some snacks, a black t-shirt, more junk, but more importantly, you'll see that I brought C-Cub (id 800) with me during the travels. Yes, it's just a plush toy or a teddy bear... You can laugh all you want.

I usually try to stage the area and put all my things on one side before I take pictures, but sometimes I don't bother. It does make a difference when you do it since these elements can be quite distracting and it'll save you the trouble down the line when you have to crop and edit the picture to remove the foreign objects.

This third and last picture at the bottom of this post is pretty recent. It was taken just about 6 months ago, back in December 2015. I was getting bearhugged by someone who preferred to stay anonymous.



He was a very charming guy by the way. He was donning my blue trunks and black kneepads. They were perfect on him. You obviously can't see it in the picture, but this guy also sports a very nice beard and a very hairy chest.... hmmmmmmmmmm...
