Tuesday April 12 2022 - Submission Wrestling Weekend in SherbrookeWrestling event
After a 4 year hiatus, I finally attended a full-fledged wrestling event just last week-end. It was called "Submission Wrestling Weekend #2" and it was hosted by Fighting4Fun at his home in Sherbrooke where he has a basement full of mats that are very nicely laid out, ideal for competitive submission matches. By the way, Sherbrooke is a small town between east of Montreal and west of Quebec city.


I think this is the first time I'm attending an all-out submission event. Events I've attended in the past or either pro, hybrid or one-on-one hotel room events where the type of match is really up to your opponent. Anyhow, I wasn't sure if I was ready for this, because I am currently carrying a shoulder pain that lasted since a couple of months. I made the mistake of racking someone above my shoulder's tolerance, but all in all, I think it went pretty well.


Friday April 8 2022

I had an agreement with Fighting4Fun who came to pick me up in Montreal to drive to his house in Sherbrooke. Once we reached our destination, my host kindly made me a tour, showed me his marvelous basement and we took the opportunity to warm up just us two to prepare for the upcoming onslaught or beatings that I was going to get. 😅 Our last match together was 3 years ago. Obviously, been an MMA expert and having won numerous medals around the world, each time I see Fighting4Fun, he just gets better and better. Mind you, he's 61 now, but age is just a number: with his experience, knowledge and skill, he is still the best among all of us. In addition, he became a teacher now of a dojo, training students and sparring his students almost on a daily basis, which kind of makes him now an unstoppable force.

Fighting4Fun has this methodology where he toys with his opponent, he lets them think that he has the upper hand and then he'll make you tap when he feels he gave you enough freedom. 😜 That is no exception for me.. however, he was kind enough to let me put on my ankle locks, my body scissors and my leg scissors on him without him resisting back every once in a while. It's basically the only 3 holds I know how to use in submission if I can't use my arms or if I determine that my opponent's arms are stronger than mine.

Anyhow, Fighting4fun gave a couple of free taps, but not without him making me tap a hundred times fold the legitimate way afterwards. 😂 After all, there is a price for free submissions... All I can do when he goes in attack mode is to defend and delay that inevitable submission. Armbars are the hold (or weapon) of choice and I'd have to say I have never received as many armbars as I had this week-end.

After an hour of sparring or so, our host Fighting4Fun kindly prepared my bed so I can rest up for the full array of matches that's waiting for me tomorrow.


Saturday April 9 2022

My host prepared a nice breakfast for me, the usual scrambled eggs and bacon and we continued a brief hour of sparring. I was supposed to meet up with one of Fighting4Fun's top student (apparently, M4st3rP), but he canceled due to family obligations. I was thinking "Thank goodness", because there's enough matches lined up that I would have been dead or zombified after dueling a UFC-style fighter that has a hundred times my level of experience.

Around 1 pm, the remainder of the roster showed up: it consists of Kicksands, Sunny_DeLeon, CanWrestle, WrestlinBoi and Zodikry. The event could host 8 wrestlers, but 7 was already more than enough as we went overtime over Fighting4Fun's planned schedule.

CanWrestle, WrestlinBoi and Zodikry had to leave shortly after arriving because they had already planned a match with another wrestler in Sherbrooke in a AirBNB. Their main objective of this first visit was to drop off the other wrestlers since they car pooled. Hence, Kicksands, Sunny_DeLeon, Fighting4Fun and myself started doing round-robin submission matches.

I had already wrestled Kicksands in October 2019 in Ottawa. Back then, I was able to be in control of him in the sense that I could make him my jobber... sort of. He'd try to defend, but I felt that I had an easier time dragging him left and right. Kicksands reminded me that I made him submit to the most basic hold in wrestling: the bearhug. I actually forgot about that and looking back at the blog entry I wrote for our Ottawa encounter, I never mentioned it in order to preserve some respect and dignity for Kicksands. 😅 It really doesn't matter now anymore, because since then, Kicksands attended martial art classes regularly in a gym, training fiercefully to become an absolute beast of a fighter.

He completely redeemed himself: when we fought in our submission match, I could tell that he was no longer the same wrestler that I had fought in 2019. Kicksands' strength, skill, agility and movements skyrocketed 🚀 and I realized that I was facing an opponent that is almost as equally skilled as Fighting4Fun. The big difference is that Kicksands is younger, faster, has more stamina and has this urge, an aura of determination or revenge, call it what you want, this undying sensation to teach me a lesson for the terrible treatment I gave him 3 years ago. I could latch on my ankle locks, but his fighting heart only showed me that it takes much more than a weakly pathetic hold to beat him. He fought back, showing me that with his stronger arms and technical knowledge that he can toy with me and make me submit with armbars, chokes and a dozen of other holds I can't even name. To make a long story short (too late), I was no match for the much stronger and superior Kicksands. As we will see later on, Kicksands is the 2nd strongest fighter in our group, right after Fighting4Fun. However, give him a little bit more time (maybe a year or two?) and he will probably manage to give Fighting4Fun a very good and challenging run for his money.

I also sparred with Sunny_DeLeon. Our last match was in October 2021, but our fight this time around was also different. When we met in October, he was already exhausted because of a similar submission event he attended. He was simply letting himself being a jobber because he had no strength to fight back, having already being subdued by a dozen matches. I toyed with him back then in a give and take session where I would lock on him hold after hold. Well, in an submission environment setting like this one, Sunny_DeLeon showed his true inner strength and I saw his fierce burning fiery heart: he is no longer a passive jobber. Still, he was easier to tangle with. I think our levels were quite a bit more evenly matched, but ultimately, Sunny has better training, skill and stamina than I did, so he eventually managed to make me submit quite a few times.

At this point, I think I had 40% of my fuel reserves left for the day, starting to feel the exhaustion of back to back bouts, not to mention I had to spar with Fighting4Fun in 1 or 2 more rounds that I was destined to lose. This is where I realized that I need to wrestle in a "Defensive Passive" mode, otherwise, I would have no energy left for the remainder of my match-ups. "Defensive Passive" is a mode where you just let your opponent attack you while still defending to prevent and delay a submission, but if you do see an opening or if you opponent is also defensive passive, then you strike an attack.

The other guys (CanWrestle, WrestlinBoi and Zodikry) came back from their private AirBNB fight and we started wrestling in long-sleeve spat shirts and long sleeve pants. Spats are the stuff that lots of bicycle bikers wear when they do long stretch biking circuits. The point here is to simulate oil wrestling... without the mess of oil. When you were these types of pants and shirts, your arms and legs are in a sense slippery because your hands will slide on this fabric, forcing you and your opponent to use different strategies to make them submit. My upper portion of the spatz (the long-sleeved shirt) was smelling a bit of sweat-to-skin from probably a previous owner/wearer. I didn't have one and I was given one, but I think someone forgot to put it in the washer before handing it out to me. Eventually, I traded my upper spatz with just a t-shirt.

Anyhow, regardless of the difference in this style of fight, I believe Sunny and Kicksands made short work for me. You can see here Sunny finishing me off with some sort of choke/scissor combo. I had no chances of survival. 😭



Then I had my first tango with WrestlinBoi. He seems shy, and reserved, but also intimidating. When he finally reached the mats and we locked up, this is where I saw him express himself wonderfully: he is skillful and playful, he has great power in his scissors and strong arms to back them up. You feel safe when you wrestle him. He'll smile and at this point, I just melted and I only wanted to keep him near me and make the match last as long as I could. 😂

Sunny and Kicksands mentioned that this would be "The Battle of the Scissors" ✂✂ because WrestlinBoi sports a very strong one in his pockets. We shared the body scissors and WrestlinBoi was kind enough to let me have the title of a stronger scissor. You can see me here trying to resist WrestlinBoi's crushing thighs while trying to escape from his arm grasp as well. I actually taunted him to squeeze harder, sharing with him my fondness for scissors and that this liking allows me to resist scissors easily.


Regardless, he was still able to beat me up at the end of the match using an armbar or a variant of it.

I also had a spatz match with Zodikry, who is WrestlinBoi's partner. Zodikry is stronger, but has less technical skills. However, he is very expressive and a big giggly.. a bit like me I guess 😅 I took advantage to catch him off-guard in this match by putting him in an ankle lock that he did not suspect. This was probably one of the few wins I had this week-end.

Zodikry and WrestlinBoi complement each other: While WrestlinBoi is shy, reserved and introvert, ZodiKry is outgoing, talkative and extrovert. They are an extremely nice wrestling couple. They both live in Winnipeg and they occasionally spar with Sunny_DeLeon as well, who also lives in Winnipeg.

We broke out of submission in very few short lapse of moments in between sub matches, so I was able to get this full nelson body scissors on Zodikry that I usually can't get in a real submission competitive match.


This particular image is quite a bit unusual because it feels like Zodikry is enjoying the hold while I seem to be the one suffering from it. 😂

Last, but not least, I locked horns with CanWrestle. We've met again about 9 months ago in July 2021 and he is still is more skillful than I am.

We then all went for supper and when we returned, we went into our singlet matches.

My memory is starting to fail me now, but I do remember that even after a meal refill, I was operating at 10-20% of my capacity so much I was exhausted. Luckily, both Sunny and Kicksands took a lot of pics to help me rebuild the images in my brain. Had they not being there, I don't think I would be able to provide the quality level of photography that they were bringing with my camera.

I do remember having a 2nd bout singlet-style with at least every wrestler. Based on the photos, I guess Sunny got me in a side scissors and I seemed to have enjoyed it. 😁 It's either that or I'm trying to concentrate so hard so that I do not submit... or that I do not fart! 😅

At some point, Kicksands and WrestlinBoi were dueling, but CanWrestle ended up making a commentary that made both of them turn against him. So yeah, CanWrestle's snark comments earned him a double-teaming reward. 🏆



For more photos, you can check Sunny's Instagram, CanWrestle's Instagram, Kicksands' Instagram or WrestlinBoi85. I felt I needed to open up an instagram as well so they can link me, but I probably won't be as active as they are. I feel like a dinosaur 😅. My instagram is scissormtl.

The only other thing I remember for this evening was that while the double-team was in progress, I jumped on Kicksands to give CanWrestle a fighting chance. Kicksands was surprised that I would shield and dared to attempt to save CanWrestle. I tried to argue that both Kicksands and WrestlinBoi have greater strength and skills over the defenseless CanWrestle... and I even later changed my reasoning saying that I just wanted to wrestle Kicksands... that I don't tangle with him enough. 😅

I wish I could include a picture here between me and Kicksands. I later realized that there are no photographs in our album showing any tangle between me and Kicksands. All the photographers were busy. 😢

Anyhow, I was defending against Kickands' attacks left and right when suddenly, CanWrestle freed himself from WrestlinBoi and came to my rescue, fighting again against Kicksands. At which point I was now facing WrestlinBoi. I manage to steal what WrestlinBoi refers to as a smurf kiss on his chest. I didn't know if I was out of line because Zodikry is his partner. WrestlinBoi later explained the terms of agreement with his partner and that my action were ok. Phew! 😅

Around 11:30 PM, we were all spent and we called it a night. Sunny and Kicksands stayed at our host. Zodikry, WrestlinBoi and CanWrestle went back to their BNB and I had reserved two nights at a local hotel called "Hotellerie Jardins de Ville" that was a 5 minute drive away from our host. There's even a bus system that connects to it.


Sunday April 10 2022

We all needed our beauty sleep and luckily, our next match was not before 1:30 in the afternoon. Sunny, Kicksands, Fighting4Fun and I went to an Italian restaurant to start building our reserves. Sunny commented about my ankle locks: he didn't recall me using them the first time we met. I answered that there wasn't a need to. He was a jobber and back then, I was doing give and take of holds that I are usually enjoyable. There was really no need to use my unpleasant ankle locks that I usually reserve for submission fights. 😅

After we replenished our energies, we all met up around 2 pm and everybody was wearing a gi (the traditional uniform used for martial arts combat) and we got our first group picture:



From left to right:
WrestlinBoi, Fighting4Fun, Zodikry, Sunny_DeLeon, Kicksands, Loserboy and CanWrestle

I almost skipped this portion of the event because I needed more time to recover from all the sores of sub matches. Luckily, the overnight sleep and the Italian Cannelloni I had really boosted me, so I was back on track. Also, I've set in my mind to use only 40% of my strength, with the occasional max if I manage to put one of my three holds.

The gi format makes everybody start with a white belt. If you win a match, you get promoted to blue belt. If you lose a match while having a blue belt against a white belt, you trade belts. If you another match while in blue belt, you get purple and so forth. No holds are currently barred: you can use the gi to chose your opponent or you can even use the belt to tie up your opponent, but if you do, your opponent can do the same.

Hmmm... I don't look half bad in a gi 😅 I have absolutely no training in Jujitsu or martial arts. The last time I wore something like this was a trial judo class where a girl 5 years younger than me placed me in a submission hold as I was squealing like a little girl for mercy.

Hoperfully, this time around, this uniform will bring me luck...


... or not. I lost against Fighting4Fun, CanWrestle, WrestlinBoi, Sunny_DeLeon and Kicksands. 😅

I kindly asked Kicksands if I could have a freebie scissor because he was making me tap over and over even after our match ended... and because I was trying to cheat by jumping on him, but he always had his guard on and never allowed me to sneak in. He told me that I need to earn my scissors on him. They were not given for free. 😅 So no, I never made him tap a single time in this week-end... even as a freebie. 😭

My only win in git-format was against Zodikry. I feel like cheating. Just because of this win, I was promoted from white to blue belt. Yay! 😇 We tumbled left and right and Kicksands took this shot that I absolutely adore. It looks very sensual, but what's actually happening here is that while Zodikry is pinning me, he's scrambling to get out of the ankle lock I had on him... I think. Without the right context though, it looks as if he is about to lean down... and uh... kiss me. 😘 So that never happened, but I did end up biting for half a second his right nipple when I was able to flip him over and pin him down later on during this match! 🤣


Many million thanks to Kicksands for capturing this shot. He also beautifully captured this next shot at the end of the match where I scissored Zodikry.


Here's another shot of Kicksands excellent photography skill where I was struggling against Fighting4Fun, trying to flip him over, but his stance and position allowed him to use my own weight as leverage, making him impossible to turn him over.


After around 3 hours of gi matches back and forth and putting together the endless amount of combinations of wrestlers, we were due for another break and went to a distillery called "Siboire". During our dinner, CanWrestle commented on how our waiter has big muscles and in a kidding manner, CanWrestle told us that he'd like to ask the waiter if he can touch his bicep. Sunny, WrestlinBoi and me all dared him to do it, but he refused, so we've decided to do it for him. When the waiter returned to our tables, I was hesitant at first, but I look at WrestlinBoi's eyes and he signaled me with a gesture to do it. So I went with it and asked the waiter:

- "Uh.. sir. My colleague here ... is wondering if he can touch your bicep. You have a very impressive build."

Before I could even say the fifth word of the above quote, CanWrestle slapped me on the thigh with the back of his hand and I jumped a bit. He did threaten me to take my head and slam my forehead down on the table, but in practice, that would have been awful, so I'm happy with the compromise. I think our waiter laughed and he was probably ready to do it, but we were all so embarrassed that we all laughed it off. CanWrestle also said "No! No! No!" to the waiter and brushed it off. In return, most of us increased the amount of tip he was receiving because we left the waiter (and our whole table) in an awkward position. 😅

Both WrestlinBoi and Sunny explained to me that had I not done it, they would have done it instead, but since the waiter was only talking french, they would have a little bit more difficulty doing it. Hence, they gave me the priority. It was still nice to know that I had 2 backups that would have done this dare in my stead. This reflects and outlines the general positive mood, playfulness and happiness at our table.

As we rode back home, I was in the car with Fighting4Fun driving, I was his co-pilot and in the back was Sunny_DeLeon and KickSands. I then noticed on the side of the streets a franchise selling fried chicken called "ChicKing". For some reason, the pun made me burst into laughter. KickSands commented:

- "And that broke him. When I saw the name of the restaurant earlier, I rolled my eyes."

I asked Fighting4Fun:

- "Is the street we are driving on King Street? It's one of the main commercial artery of Sherbrooke?"

Fighting4Fun replied:

- "Yes it is. And there are at least three of those restaurant franchise on this street."

It took me a while to contain my laughter, but I guess I can't resist a terrible pun. 😅

When we got back from the restaurant, the schedule changed. Everybody was tired. We probably ate too much, drank too much. There were some missing gi matches that still needs to be fulfilled, but they were all canceled. We shifted the planned schedule to a personal request zone. It was filming or photography time :)

WrestlinBoi asked me if I could help him do a scenario where he pins me, flexes over his victory, gets full nelsoned by his partner and I gut punch him in revenge. Hey, compared to the stuff I've been doing, this is a very easy scenario to perform. I was more than happy to oblige. In return, he allowed me to perform on him and Zodikry a separate rack on each of them. He also lifted me in a knee backbreaker with gut punching... in which I farted for real. 💨 Hey, we just ate! 😂


CanWrestle and I also filmed a match up that he posted on WatchFighters:
https://www.watchfighters.com/posts/canwrestle_vs_lb200-chvsswdd

I know.. there's a price, but please support him. 😅 In the meantime, here's a camel clutch and a bearhug from the match. 😀 I didn't notice until much later how bruised I am in this picture. All the sub matches left marks on my skin, but it does add some form of realism to the pic. 😂



We took it easy for the remainder of the evening. The wrestlers mentioned how they get recording custom requests that they occasionally fulfill and all the intricacies of the different holds, maneuvers and interests they need to cover to realize those requests.

I went back to my hotel feeling not as tired today compared as yesterday. I actually felt 50% less tired than the day before, because, throughout the day, I was able to pace out my stamina between my matches more carefully, slowly calculating when I should expense more energy and when it is best to preserve it, maybe give up a bit sooner to avoid that overflow that would have drained too much energy for nothing.

I looked myself in the mirror and noted all the bruises. It does not hurt at all: I have a skin condition where my skin marks easily and it looks like I'm bruised, but I'm not. I guess it's sort of a sensitive skin reaction? Most of those simili-bruises are pressure caused by the Gi when it is aggressively pulled outwards or push inwards. If the simple soft fabric of a Gi can do this, then I guess you can imagine what pressure without fabric does. 😅



On my back, I had larger vertical marks. The wrestlers all thought I was getting whipped... by Fighting4Fun. Fighting4Fun defended himself saying that the marks on my back was there before we started our match on Friday.... so I finally figured it out afterwards that it was caused by wearing my knapsack for a long period of time. Either I get bruises from pressure or from prolonged wearing/carrying.


Monday April 11 2022

We all met one last time at our host to exchange our goodbyes for this event. I gave everybody I could a bearhug. Zodikry wanted to give me one, but I caught him in one first. 😅

Fighting4Fun drove me back to Montreal and he spoke to me about his personal life and I shared mine as well. He is at his most humble and down to earth state among all the times I've seen him. He's still very optimistic about wrestling submission-style despite his age. His next goal is to travel to California or to Brazil to meet the many opponents that are waiting for him. He also suggested that I come back a week-end to wrestle him and his students.

All in all, I had a wonderful trip. Despite being worried about the state of my shoulder, the wrestling I had was safe and it gave me a boost and signal that I am ready to attend future events. This still makes me realize that my days as a submission wrestler are numbered. I'll try to take advantage of it as most as I can, and people like Fighting4Fun and CanWrestle are there to show me that if they can still tangle competitively, so can I.

Here's to hoping that I can attend new wrestling events soon and hopefully travel outside Canada.

I went to see Lumber_Jack_G on my return to Montreal after the event and we had a small and light tumble. In his opinion, the bruises/scars on my chest and shoulders were making me a bit more attractive and a bit more believable as a wrestler. 😅

Saturday August 1 2020 - LumberG: First match since (de-)confinementRecent matches
Last time I wrestled Lumber_Jack_G was in October of 2017. That's almost 3 years. We got out of touch, his schedule became busy and so was mine. I also felt that he was way out of my league... he's a very handsome wrestler in my book.

He contacted me recently and he asked me if I wanted to wrestle. His requirement was that I was taking measures to stay safe and that I haven't wrestled in the past 14 days. I told him that a person in the high risk bracket (meaning an elder) is living with me, so I do the usual: face mask, social distancing, wiping of groceries (even though I think this latter step is a bit of an overkill). These days, I also only use Uber to move from one point to another. I still don't trust the subway or bus system yet. There is a risk with Uber, but I feel the risks are exponentially much less than mass transit. I also haven't wrestled... since February (about 5 months ago).

Anyhow, we finally got together and he was afraid that he'd be a bit rusty. As we lock horns, it was clear that he picked up everything again very fast. He also built up some endurance and resistance because I had quite a lot of trouble making him tap in my body scissors... but then again, he loves body scissors. We always have a tolerance against holds that we love.

LumberG likes to suffer. On top of scissors, he also likes racks and reverse indian death locks. I love hurting him. He also likes to hurt me in revenge.... Although I constantly tease him that he's incapable of doing so. He loves to flex his biceps.. and I do melt when he does that... The important thing however is that we trust each other and that we have good wrestling compatibility. He also apparently likes my belly. He explained to me that it was either doing sub with me or doing pro with someone else, and that he took me instead because he knows that I can hurt him. Am I sadistic? In LumberG's case, probably yes... but you guys know that deep down, I have the heart of a nice jobber.

Between our wrestling rounds, we took breaks: we caught up on our past 3 years. He made me smile when he commented that I know every wrestler in Montreal and I practically wrestle anyone... even the wrestlers that I do not like. I told him that I do ban a few people. Those that I know that it's only about themselves or those that have hurt others in the past. And honestly, I do *NOT* know every wrestlers in Montreal. More than half the wrestlers in the city won't wrestle me because I don't fit their requirements and that's absolutely fine.

Another memorable moment that made me grin was that no matter how strong LumberG becomes, the pressure of the ankle lock is almost impossible to withstand. (Mind you, I've fought wrestlers that can easily escape it, but luckily LumberG doesn't know yet how to get out of this treacherous hold thankfully).

I took advantage of this. I taunted and nagged him while holding him with my ankle lock. I even had my hands behind my head:

LB: "I can beat you without my arms, you know. How about submitting now before it becomes too painful?"
LG: "What? You think I'm a pansy?"
LB: "Ah... that's a pretty good idea. How about you say: 'I'm a pansy.'"
LG: "No way!"

At this point, I start increasing the pressure on his leg and I get a proper response:
LG: "I'm a pansy! I'm a PANSY!"

This is by the way a great way to strengthen his urge for vengeance. He usually becomes rougher and more aggressive after this type of altercation. We had quite a lot of fun mocking, punching and punishing each other through the evening. Fast forward three hours later, I had to leave because he was working the next morning. I apparently left him bruises and I'm wondering if his back or his ribs are okay...

I've been lazy and kept my beard and my hair growing and he apparently liked that. I also remembered this time not to wear any deodorant.

LumberG made me feel very comfortable and he also made me realize that I miss wrestling a lot. It was extremely nice to reconnect with him. It's kind of a signal for me to remember to try to reach out for the wrestlers I trust and attempt to set up a match again. With the right precautions taken into place, we can make it happen and still stay safe. In Montreal, gatherings of 250 are now permitted and de-confinement is still in progress although cases seem to be going up again. Still, I shouldn't fret for gatherings of two, especially if I know that my opponent is trying to be cautious as well.

Saturday June 29 2019 - In progress: Cubby vs LoserboyIn progress
After 7 months, I've decided I'll take some time to sit down and write a scenario for the match I had with Cubby (id 4578) in November 2018. The last match I wrote before that was in December 2018, so it's not too bad. Usually, it takes me a whole year before I splurge out a new scenario.

Anyhow, It's done. It took me 6 hours to sort/pick/resize the pictures, write the story, re-arrange the sections, do a few editing passes and put it all together. Phew. I've sent it to Cubby for approval and I'm waiting for his reply. The story might still change depending on his feedback. That being said, I won't post the match publicly yet until he gives me the "ok".

For this blog entry, I took the liberty to include four pictures that has different frame shots than the ones I've included in the match. Since my camera was configured to shoot rapidly in a short time lapse, I usually pick anywhere from two to five pictures of the same hold in a set of twenty. What happens with the other shots? Well, I take another one or two to post it here and I discard the rest. They are usually trash because the hold was being prepared, someone closed their eyes, I was doing a weird grimace or I ended up laughing or smiling too much. Mind you, you'll notice that in the pics I select for any given match, I still smile too much, but that's because I really don't have any other pics I could use to replace them. And wrestling is supposed to be fun anyway and you guys know that I don't take myself seriously when I write these scenarios or take the pictures.

WolfJobber (id 8490) once told me that my wrestling matches scenarios are very campy and I absolutely intend to leave them that way.

So here are a few: we'll start with me putting on a Reverse Indian Deathlock on Cubby. What better moment to show who's the boss? I really love Cubby's expression here.


I'm probably very obnoxious with this nipple hold on Cubby, but he is really irresistible and I don't find that many wrestlers that are into nipples... so... I'm gonna take advantage of it. Plus, Cubby seems to cooperate very well, expressing sorrow in an otherwise pleasurable hold.


I know what you're thinking. Does Cubby even fight back at all? Well, of course he does. Here, Cubby shows his newfound strength by lifting me up and carrying me around. *blush* Cubby can always lift carry me anytime wherever and whenever he wants.


Finally, Cubby combines his knee backbreaking skills with a little claw on the gut! For him, I am light as a feather. He pulled this out with ease.


I'm gonna run the risk of repeating myself, but I'll do it again anyway: Cubby gives me hope that handsome wrestlers his age and generation can still show respect, honor the agreed schedule and travel hours to have a match with you. Cubby is a a very good and kind wrestler, so I hope you guys will get a chance to wrestle him too one day if you ever make it to Florida.

Monday June 20 2016 - Writing a bit...In progress
Okay... okay.. I missed work today to give my knee/leg a rest. I've overdone it: the doctor told me that it's probably an overstretched ligament or, in the worst case scenario, a torn meniscus. Not much can be done except for resting and letting time heal it. The approximate recovery time of such an injury is usually 3-4 weeks. Of course, I'll also have to do my best not to force my knee, which probably means no wrestling for a little while.... or else, I'll extend the time needed to recover or make it worse.

I do have an upcoming match this Saturday, but it's a soft one so I probably can still make it. By soft, I'm talking about trading holds, give and take at an intensity of 10-40% of my maximum.

In any case, since I have a little bit of time now, I'm starting to go through the pictures I've took with Ben Monaco (id 5578) and jotting down a draft for a scenarized match. Yeah, I know. This word doesn't really exist in North America, but it does exist in the UK.

I was originally thinking of making Ben Monaco completely dominate me, but after seeing some of the pics where I'm applying the holds, I told myself:

          "Man, Ben Monaco really knows how to suffer well.. what a great jobber!".

So, I've concluded that I'm gonna make this match half-half.

Hey, I'm often a jobber, but I can make one mean heel too: for example, I particularly like these racks:




I got this evil look, but the shadow on my face on the 2nd one makes me look even scarier. Don't worry, just talk to the people I've wrestled and I'm very nice in real life. I won't bite. It's just in wrestling that I put on this mean and evil persona, because for the heel, it makes beating me up and performing a revenge that much more fun.

It is weird indeed that I'm all equipped with lots of gear while I didn't let Ben put on anything. Back when we took those pictures, I only had one pair of boots and to be honest, Ben Monaco doesn't need any special gear to make him look great.

Anyway, let's get back to writing now..



I started at 4 pm today and finished around 10 pm... with some breaks in between. Yep, it takes me 4-6 hours to produce a match, write down the lines, upload the pictures, aligning them in the right sections, review the match and perform corrections. It is a lot of work and I admit it's not everyday I have a bit chunk of 4-6 hours to work on a scenarized match. The link is not posted here yet because I sent it to Ben Monaco for approval or editing.

Still, about more than ten years ago, before I had the match interface up and did everything manually through old HTML code, it would take me a complete day to write up and finish editing up a match. Being able to cut the time down by approximately half or by two-thirds is quite significant.
