| Saturday March 4 2023 - Meet your heroes: Kayden Keller | Visitors in town | ||||||||||||
| CanWrestle (id 9693) is known to publish wrestling fiction. Many of his works were initially published in chapter portions on his MeetFighters blog, but he eventually consolidated them and is currently selling them as books on Amazon. As his work gain traction, Kayden Keller eventually stumbled upon them (hey, our community is pretty small and niche... there isn't a lot of books covering gay wrestling on Amazon). So, he reached out to CanWrestle because the wrestling scenarios, stories and topics covered by his work intersect with Kayden's interests. They eventually make a trip to Montreal and I had the honor to wrestle both of them yesterday. I never thought I'd meet the Great Kayden Keller himself. He's an absolutely charismatic and exceptional guy all around: he is so down to earth, very humble, polite, well-mannered and quite intelligent. Should you meet him one day, remember to ask about his profession, he has a lot of things to share. He is definitely a superstar is in my eyes and he's an outstanding wrestler with an amazing personality. π€© Kayden appears in more than 70 matches in BG East's videos and he is excellent and consistent throughout all of his performances, but meeting this guy in person and seeing how nice he is in real life is really something else. He's the introvert by day, extrovert wrestler with an outgoing and heeling persona by night. One may be intimidated by this titan measuring 6'2" and weighing 215 lbs at the time of our match, but truth be told, this giant beast is a gentle and tamed teddy bear. π§Έ CanWrestle and Kayden rented a spacious hotel room in downtown Montreal and they borrowed my mats so that they can have a few local matches on something a bit more safer and pleasant to tangle in than a mattress. I couldn't host at my condo because my mom lives with me. I took a ride with them back to the hotel and I was worried about how we would be able to sneak in the mats without the reception eyeing us or flagging us someway or another. Luckily, their hotel had an underground parking lot. We simply carried the mats into the elevator and that lead us directly to the floor where the room was located. No need to pass awkwardly and unscrupulously in front of reception with eight large gigantic pieces of flashy blue suspicious mats. π I had a great and memorable evening: we wrestled a bit, ate at the MVP sports bar, went back to the hotel for some more tango and LumberG (id 250) eventually joined us. We proceeded with a nice round-robin where Kayden evidently and effortlessly destroyed each of us, being the experienced wrestler that he is. When I was ready to speak to Kayden for the first time, it went something like this: "You probably get this often, but yea.. I'm a big fan. What really impresses me with your work is that you think outside the box. Most BG East matches I've seen follow a same format or template, they just feature two different wrestlers and they repeat the same stuff over and over. Your matches contains holds and maneuvers that only belong in fantasies and you make them a reality." He smiled and he explained to me that they are indeed many that belong to the category of wrestlers that just want to shoot the video and leave with their paycheck ASAP, while there are others who understand the community and take the time to produce the kind of content that we actually want to see and put a lot of love and passion into it. CanWrestle has already filled him with the info of my site and my main strengths so he went and picked me up in a bearhug, started tackling me down, letting me put my scissors on him.. which obviously and virtually did nothing. That's where I realized I was wrestling a concrete wall, an invincible brick and that there was nothing I can do aside from being defending and delaying the inevitable. Kayden also does have BJJ experience that made him untouchable and impervious to anything you could throw at him. He was definitely on a completely different level, but he will still adapt to your style, gradually apply his holds and he's super safe and nice to tangle with. Kayden was nice to cheer me up by saying that I was strong when he is clearly 10x stronger than I am. π He shared this story that he had fought an opponent that was downplaying his skills, but when Kayden fought him, he realized that his opponent had a lot of training. His opponent later told him that he never show or tell his abilities and skills in advance because most people would be afraid to wrestle him or think they would end up with injuries. Many would believe or think of a scenario where they are this Level 1 Newbie Wrestler facing a Level 100 Maxed-out Opponent that will one-shot them and kill them, when the reality is the complete opposite: facing a highly experienced opponent means that you have less chances of being hurt, because your opponent knows exactly what they're doing. Here's a couple of pics where Kayden clearly had control over me, but at the same time, he was taking very good care of me. π
You can actually get a different clip where LumberG took a video of Kayden doing a different rack on me, but standing up and turning around in [  Clip ID 426 ]Mind you, I did wrestle CanWrestle too. He did short work of me. I always love being his jobber, even though I tease him that he enjoys being my ***** once in a while. We did very light stuff and I eventually got racked three times in a row at one point. Once by Kayden, once by CanWrestle and once by LumberG. I think I needed a little break in between them, because the pain in my shoulder started acting out... but it was still very fun nonetheless. π I enjoyed all the racks and these guys do it all very safely, all like professionals! LumberG did told me at point much later that he would have wanted to be racked too... but he was too shy to ask Kayden, so let's put that on our bucket list for now. π LumberG and I tangled a bit and we went: "It's been a while we haven't wrestled each other." So, CanWrestle asked: CanWrestle: "Don't you guys wrestle each other all the time?" LumberG: "Not really... since he injured me." Yeah.. I used to put those leg scissors on LumberG on a regular basis until his sciatic nerve reminded him that it's not something he can take it anymore. I eventually stopped ever putting leg scissors on him, but I also stopped wrestling him competitively by fear of hurting him again or further. Since then, our matches are just a couple of give and take and roughhousing like playful gutpunching or light scissors with little pressure on my end unless Lumber politely asks to crank it up. It did took a couple of months for him to heal, but ever since, I am now still very cautious with LumberG so not to repeat the same mistakes or cause his nerve to enter in a regressive mode. LumberG had his fair share of fun with Kayden. He actually came in not knowing who Kayden is until I much later showed Kayden's catalogs on BG East after the match. π Once they locked up, it didn't take long for LumberG to determine that he was no match for Kayden's strength and experience. However, he was trying not to lose fast, because unlike me, LumberG doesn't like to be publicly humiliated although having Kayden flex on top of you is quite something!  LumberG flexes while enjoying a sight of Kayden Keller's biceps π LumberG eventually said that the reason he doesn't wrestle people taller than him is because he doesn't want to lose. CanWrestle didn't hesitate to throw this: "Well I'm shorter than you and I can beat you." π LumberG mentioned to me that CanWrestle was stronger this time around than in Ottawa, but that was because we only informed him of our visit a few hours prior and that day, CanWrestle have had 5 trainings on boxing and BJJ so he was pretty tired. This time, he was all fresh and ready to tackle LumberG and show him his real strength. When Kayden flexed on top of me, I literally said out loud: "I never imagined that this is something that I would ever be able to see in my life!" π Yes, Kayden has always been a super hero of the gay wrestling world in my eyes, but seeing him flex, wrestle, rack and bearhug me was definitely like a dream come true... somebody pinch me! Our match was really fun and I honestly think this was one of the greatest thing that happened to me in a very a long time. π€ Kayden also mentioned a story where he downplays his looks and I had to interject with: "Please, Kayden, you are gorgeous!" To this day, LumberG still pokes fun at me for throwing such a blatant over-the-top adjective. π After our night, LumberG and I left around midnight to catch our last subway home. As I snuggled up to LumberG, I asked him: Loserboy: "Did you take a shower?" LumberG: "No." Loserboy: "You smell like Kayden Keller." LumberG: (sarcastic) "Do you want to sleep in the other room?" π | |||||||||||||

| Thursday June 30 2022 - Hotel match: Jason + Elrac | Recent matches | ||||||||||||
| I had 2 local matches yesterday: one with a new Montreal wrestler who goes by "Jason" and another one I now consider a veteran and an old friend: Elrac (id 692). Jason and I suggested that we meet in a suburb south of Montreal because motels there are cheaper. We agreed on a 50/50 share on the costs of the motel, but he ended up canceling. We eventually managed to reschedule it for now given his insistence that we should meet. I took the risk of covering the whole costs of the hotel this time, but I guess that a was a slight mistake from my end. Jason arrived. He came out straight from work with his security guard uniform. He was tall, had this scrappy build and was around 230 lbs I believe. His build is the intimidating build that does match his profession. π We tumbled around for roughly ~5 minutes. I managed to rack him, bearhug him, put him in his favorite holds: the schoolboy pin and the cradle. He's still a rookie though: I did made him tap a few times in my scissors and that might have scared him. Suddenly, he took his phone, dialed something and told me he had to leave, citing a family emergency: his son of 7 years old was at the hospital. I offered him to shower before he leaves to be presentable at the hospital. He took the offer, cleaned himself up, and then, shortly after he left, he deleted his MeetFighters profile. Hmmmm... π€ I guess I either scared the π© out of him or I was a really bad experience. I mean there are better ways to express something aside from deleting a profile, but you'll always have some of those in today's era. π€·ββοΈ All you can do at this point is to shrug and move on. There's no sense for me feeling remorse or regret for someone I met in person for 5 minutes and even less for someone who can't appreciate that I covered for all the hotel costs. Meh. Fast forward four months later (in October 2022), he did re-create a new profile under the name "Stephane450", so I realized he is one of those the create and delete profiles over and over again to keep the least amount of tracks possible. Elrac (id 692) was fortunately my backup, whom I had wrestled last in March 2019. He's still the same jobber, who has a desire to dominate over guys smaller than him. His favorite hold is the neck hang or the lifted choke. Can you tell that I'm on a chair? π Shhh... Don't tell anyone!
His strength on arms and chest are pretty good, but his legs are his weakness, whereas for me, it's pretty much the opposite. Regardless, that didn't prevent me from putting on him my bearhug!
For good measure, how about I finish it off with a devastating groin claw of excruciating pain? π
Elrac and I also had a small arm wrestling match. While we were busy tumbling, we were supposed to wait for a third opponent, but that guy also chickened out and never showed up. This third opponent was a new guy that Elrac has met on Grindr that had a little interest in wrestling. The problem was that Elrac only spoke to him a few days ago and he never met him in person. He invited him to the hotel, but to no surprise, the guy ghosted Elrac after his invite. Life isn't perfect, but you learn to cherish those opponents that are reliable. Elrac and I agreed to meet again in the future, but we should probably narrow down the gap of 3 years to maybe somewhere around 6 months or 1 year. Then again, these were circumstances outside of our control, right? On a side note, there is apparently a monkeypox outbreak in Canada and Montreal is considered an epicenter. Luckily, I took my shot 10 days ago on June 20, but I did have a rash that formed just underneath my left arm where I received the shot. I'm sure it'll go away, but now that I think of it, maybe I scared Jason with this rash? π | |||||||||||||

| Monday June 20 2022 - Last minute Ottawa trip | Travel matches | ||||||||||||
| I don't usually do last minute trips, but given the circumstances, there are always exceptions. I was in Ottawa last week-end and had a blast while I was there. π MainEagle (id 1086), who came all the way from Washington D.C. 3 years ago, originally planned to come to Montreal again, but the week-end that just passed was the Montreal Grand Prix (Formula 1), which also meant that all hotels are booked or any vacancy remaining was priced at 3x-4x the regular price. He was going to Ottawa to meet a few fellow wrestlers there, so I decided to join him there given that he came twice to Montreal to wrestle me... and while I'm at it, I might as well add in a few more matches from locals. It's a small effort compared to the bigger distance he needs to cover. On Friday night, I arrived by train at the Ottawa train station. MainEagle kindly drove me to our hotel. There, we got to meet KickSands, who generously took the day off for us because his schedule was already overburdened and he was preparing for his trip to Vancouver. KickSands destroyed each of us separately with a couple of arms bars and a couple of rear-naked chokes on top of all the jujitsu moves I can't name.
This is when we noticed that the only way we could win was to double-team against him in an old fashion two versus one. Payback has never been so sweet, although KickSands branded me as a traitor to my own country. π Canadians should stick together when tackling Americans. I can't show MainEagle's face so all you get is his arm muffling KickSands' mouth while I hold him in an armbar with arm scissors or perhaps, a form of crucifix armbar holding his most precious weapons: his hands and arms while MainEagle treats him like his boy toy. π
Our time was short, but we tumbled back and forth as much as we can. I am still no match against KickSands, but he kindly allowed me to put him in a few body scissors to cheer me up. As I squeeze my legs around his waists, he told me: "That's why I don't let you put scissors on me." π which is really one of the best compliment he can give me. I'm putting myself a note to always try to take good pics and a lot of pics for KickSands when he wrestles others. He does a great effort of being an absolutely amazing photographer when there are bouts of others and it's the least that we need to do when he is fighting his opponents, where he cannot be there to manipulate his camera. It's because of KickSands that I was able to get excellent pictures from both the Sherbrooke meet and from today's match. MainEagle and I went to visit Rideau Hall and a couple of historic places. When we got back, CanWrestle (id 9693) was around and we rumbled a bit more. We occasionally added the two on one here and there, but in the end, I finally joined force with CanWrestle to make MainEagle submit to a variant of the Loserboy's Hold! π I had a bit of one-on-one with MainEagle, but I realized afterwards I should have spent more time and I should have taken more photos or videos π Nevertheless, KickSands did take this wonderful grapevine shot!
The next morning, MainEagle headed out to visit his friends, while I stayed to tangle with Minebuster93 (id 5188) (Dipper). Our last match has also been 3 years ago and he is still as strong as last time... if not stronger. I did remember that there wasn't much I could do against him and this time was no different. However, his fondness for head scissors allowed me to follow up with a session of squeezing that grants me a couple of free taps. π Dipper is still the charming and handsome stud from 3 years ago and I still will wrestle him again each time I visit Ottawa. A couple of hours later, a newcomer whom I spoke with since a couple of weeks ago showed up: MDWIsAwesome is his online handle on MeetFighters. He's a very cute, shy and studly chinese fellow with a big big heart β₯. His favorite holds include the torture rack, the spladle and the body scissors. Needless to say, we traded a couple of those. Obviously, his scissors was no match for mine! π I squeezed him multiple times to submission while laughing (and flexing) at his own.
I'm laughing now, but MDWisAwesome has a lot of potential to grow. Give him a year or two and he'd probably destroy me easily... hands down. π Since racks is also his favorite, I was happy to oblige:
He definitely could take it. His small frame and weight made him a very easy wrestler to handle and to carry. I have to admit that the best part was the cuddling part. π He is very cuddable! I know.. that's not even a word. π€ͺ I got the spladle he requested on him too, but given the jockstrap he was wearing, I am not sure if I can post it here. π€£ Many thanks to CanWrestle for showing me how to do it the right way. I had to stand up, but I realized much after the session that I can do it next time just by sitting down and pulling my opponent's legs towards me. There is the fun sub way of doing it (that you never see in High school wrestling or on TV) and there is the amateur/freestyle way of doing it. The freestyle way is to hold one leg with both arms and the other leg with both legs. CanWrestle (id 9693) joined us afterwards and I volunteered to be their cameraman in their very hot match. π You can support both of them by getting their match: https://www.watchfighters.com/posts/dad_son_wrestling_with_mdwisawesome_trailer-mtunmtwj The three of us went to eat at a restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. We explained to MDWIsAwesome that he was definitely the highlight of our week-end. We actually didn't expect him to show up because he was uncertain with directions even with today's standard with GPS and all sort of assistance with map orientation. We explained to him that most newcomers with zero or few past opponents usually are 99% fake profiles, end up being no-shows or profiles that ghost you the moment you get into town. MDWIsAwesome was that 1% exception that honors the engagement. MDWIsAwesome had to leave shortly after the meal. CanWrestle and I went back up and we casually wrestled each other in a light relaxing match. We didn't take any shots this time around considering we already took a bunch last month when he was in Montreal. My time in Ottawa went pretty fast... The awesome time I had there made me realize that it's time for me to start traveling again... more often!  There are still a few important restrictions when traveling in Canada, so I'm still waiting for them to be dropped so that I can be less stressed about it.  In case you haven't noticed, I do have an Instagram account now that uses a new rebranded online handle: ScissorMTL I guess this new username better reflects my wrestling style and my preference for body scissors on top of hinting my location. The  icon on the top right of the page should lead you there and my postings on that medium is limited to 1 pic per match, so you'll still always find more here. π
After a bit of pressure from CanWrestle, KickSands and Sunny_DeLeon, I figured it was time. You guys know my stance and views about social media... They control your information and they can close off, ban and delete your account any time, so I usually don't bother with them and that's the reason why I have a site and a blog instead: I get better ownership and don't wake up the day after to see my account wiped out or given a strike for an obscure reason. However, I'll give Instagram a little exception this time around. | |||||||||||||

| Friday October 29 2021 - A boot and Canadian speedo | Gear | ||||||||||||
A potential wrestling opponent has recently asked me to upload a picture of me with a boot... the clichΓ© type of shot that almost every jobber likes: where you are from the ground up, looking at your opponent victorious with a boot on your chest or on your face. It took me a while to find a shot that I like. POV shots from the ground up are rather hard to take when you're alone.
The second shot was necessary because I had to try to remove the fan on the ceiling... π In the end, you see instead my pull-up bar. π
I then tried the same view again, but without the boot.
It's completely different, obviously! This angle makes me look like that I'm super big! In other words, you don't need a boot in yer face to show that you mean business. π I finally got the red sweat ankle and wrist bands I've ordered to go with the Canadian speedo that Sunny gave me the other day. Here goes my typical pose. Funny, even though red is a color associated to heels, in this particular set up, I feel and look more like a jobber.... but maybe that's because I'm missing my boots. π
I took the shot the very same hour today along with the boot poses and the camera angles just show two completely different person. You gotta admire the contrast of alternate perspective views: I look... uh... flabby from the ground up and I think I look better when the camera is at the same level. But hey, I'm sure some people prefer my flabby look.  I tried here a relaxed pose by just eyeing or winking at the camera. In the end, it becomes the pose that just seems to suggest a threatening stance: "You think you can beat me?"
I was lazy to put up my black background. π΄ It's a lot of setup. Ideally, if I am to place that black background, it stays permanently there rather than having to mount it up and back down every single time I feel like taking pictures of new gear combinations. My weight did go down from 170 lbs to 155-ish. I've decided to try to do the effort when my doctor warned me that I currently have two times the recommended dose of low cholesterol in my blood. I think it's because of all the hamburgers I've garbled down my belly since last year. π I obviously forgot to move away that Styrofoam cylinder on the left. I actually use it to alleviate the pain on my right shoulder & neck. Maybe it's because I try to do one too man racks? π You're supposed to put it rolling down on the floor and put your arm pits on it with your arm stretched out. It does seem to help a bit. I really need to do more yoga... | |||||||||||||

| Monday April 12 2021 - EvilDark and Shantig7 | Recent matches | ||||||||||||
I've decided to take a leap of faith. Cases have been going down and I haven't seen EvilDark (id 1077) since June 2019. I took the train to get from Montreal to Quebec city and fortunately for me, there were only 7 passengers in my wagon (which would usually host 40 people at full capacity). EvilDark has instructed me not to eat in the wagon, but I've decided to calm him down by supplying him a picture of my empty train environment. I spent a nice weekend. We wrestled very briefly, caught up with the stuff we missed in the last 2 years and he made me visit a couple of parks and scenic areas. My mission was mainly to cheer him up, but I do feel that he is really fine on his own and that his morale was steady. Things have changed, he removed his profile from MeetFighters. He believes society will pay 5 years before normalcy. I do trust him because he has experience in this domain, but I tried to argue that humanity will be able to turn the page: we've had the Spanish Flu a century ago. It took a few years, but people started going back out to restaurant and cinemas again. Festivals and parades returned. Whatever happened became a thing of the past. People forget. Anyhow, we've traded quite a few body scissors. His scissors were still strong, although slightly less effective, but most probably because of the extra weight I gained. π€£ On the other hand, he is still weak as ever against my scissors.... and I took the opportunity to sneak a few submissions on him, enjoying every ounce of his difficult time with me. π EvilDark complained that he doesn't defend well against my scissors because apparently he doesn't hold his breathing like I do when he puts me in a scissor. π 2 weeks after, I went and met with Shantig7. We've contacted each other back in October 2020, but we've held off our match until things became better. As the clouds in the horizon started to dissipate, Shantig7 and I agreed that it was safe to have our first match because we both work from home. Shantig7 would describe himself as a jobber, but he would fight back if requested. This spunky cub is actually fun to tumble with. Young and enthousiastic, this 27 years old wrestler will do his best to take you down. He is still a beginner, but with the proper experience and training, I do believe he can be a very powerful opponent. In this particular match, we wrestled on his bed and I had forgotten to bring my straps so we horrendously spent a significant amount of time placing back the bed sheet covers on his bed. Nonetheless, we had our fair share of fun where I would lock him in one hold after another, or teasing him with a leg lock while putting my hands behind my hand telling him I can beat him without my arms. He is quite flexible. Camels, crabs and reverse deathlocks take quite a bit of pressure before he'd feel anything. Shantig7 agrees with em that racks don't hurt... until you move up and down. He boasts a strong lower body, so a good scissor grip. Unfortunately for him, scissors are my favorite thing, so he could give me all the scissors in the world and I would smile back at him, thanking him for a great massage. On the other hand, I would assume he wasn't prepared to receive my body scissors. π He is a fast learner though and was very eager to learn about the different wrestling styles and holds out there. I tried explaining to him as much as I can. His fondness for wrestling also started around the age of 13 with a match on TV. Shantig7 is an avid traveler. His great adventures overseas are overwhelming and shows that he does not hesitate to take risks and brave the unknown. He is very comfortable with his nice, handsome and compact cubbish body. In fact, he showed me one of his mugs that says: "I β€ Carbs". I felt that was very cute. He is of Turkish descent, with a little mix of Armenian traits from several generations ago. I would imagine he's the first Turkish/Armenian wrestler I have ever fought. A rematch is in order, so we will hopefully be talking again soon. This will give me the opportunity to train him and make him a better wrestler than me eventually. π As I write this today though, Canada has begun going into the third wave and have surpassed the US in some regions the ratio of cases per million inhabitants. New restrictions were put in place and curfew was set back from 9:30 pm to 8 pm. If there's anything that I've learned from the current situation is that you never know when the world changes completely, so you really should wrestle before you can't anymore.... while being careful and taking all the necessary steps to ensure safety of course. π | |||||||||||||

| Saturday March 13 2021 - First hotel match since... February 2020 | Recent matches | ||||||||||||
| It's been slightly more than a year since I held my last hotel match. To be exact, that was in February 2020. Now, things are started to go better in Montreal, the number of daily cases has been down, vaccination drives have started mostly for the elderly only. Meanwhile, I felt it was safe to have a hotel match as long as I quarantine my next match by at least fourteen days or a month if I want to be cautious. I haven't wrestled Tigui (id 10729) since 2016. He reached out to me because he hadn't had a match since December, so after checking his domain and seeing that he works from home most of the time, I've decided that he was safe enough to wrestle and that I was ready to get out of my cocoon. Tigui is mostly a jobber, so I had to assume and take my beast mode... or heel mode stance. Heel mode activate! π A good way to show this is by starting a match with some tough love: a bearhug to show you how much I've missed torturing you!
The little spunky jobber can fight back though, but being deep down a jobber like me, he does make it easy to beat him. Essentially, he is ready to take anything you are willing to throw at him. So, what better way to teach your opponent a lesson than to apply a Reverse Indian Deathlock? Low effort, big impact. Yet, for Tigui, this hold sems to bring him in a state of ecstasy.
As expected, racks do very little to harm him. You have to apply a lot of pressure at the cost of exerting yourself to get a little moan. I wish I had his endurance and the property and capability to bend as much as he can. Guess what? The rack is also available as a clip that you can view inside [ Clip ID 410. ]
So, we see Tigui getting beatened pretty badly, but that doesn't mean he can't apply holds off his own. He locked on me this camel clutch, although with a bit of difficulty. He told me that he has some sort of artificial joint/limb in his leg or foot, so we tried to be careful. Look at this face though, with that fierce expression, he definitely has what it takes to be a heel after all.
Anyhow, I learned from this match that TiGui loves sideway reverse indian deathlocks... with a couple of grabs. He enjoys been stretched since his body is flexible. Squeezing is a bit less of his cup of tea. I had him in a body scissors and he did whisper to me: "Less pressure, please!" π€£ Oops. Mind you, you can still squeeze him, but you have to be reasonable about it. Everything with moderation.  Previously, he posted in his profile pictures of him without masks, been very liberal about sharing his face. However, a recent change in profession requires him to be a bit more cautious nowadays. Mind you, he still looks absolutely great with his mask on. He used to have long hair... he trimmed them out in this meet and wow, I absolutely adore him like this. I've never been a fan of long hair, so his new haircut along with his facial beard, hairy legs and hairy chest make him a compact cubbish jobber that I would hold like a teddy bear. π§Έ | |||||||||||||

| Tuesday November 10 2020 - Torture racking time! | Racks | ||||||||||||
| I've been fighting with a ittle shoulder pain that flares now and then... it unfortunately means that I need to use the computer less often because it's that "hold-the-mouse" position that seems to make it worse. In the meantime, I can post these torture racks for you guys while I wait for my shoulder to naturally heal through regular exercises. This rack down below a bit of a cheat. It comes from my match with The Champ which you can access through Match ID 37. The Champ himself took pro training classes for a couple of years. He is now retired, but I will always remember fondly my matches with him.
Size difference is one of my major weakness: It's convincing and fun to see a large guy racks a smaller guy. You can also access this one online through Match ID 11. Curiously, I think I've never written his weight down because in his case, it was changing fast.
The best racks visually are in the ring... probably would help if there was some spotlights too, but I should stop whining. This one shows the Great EvilDark (id 1077) caught in the rack, unable to escape!
Finally, we have the one and only MustangCowboy (id 11699) in trouble! Bent over in a deadly submission, MustangCowboy fights on and refuses to give up! We took this quite a while ago, but he was a bit reluctant of posting any images that shows his face. Then suddenly, he recently changed his mind and asked me if I can post them.
Racks aside, I am lucky to say that I have been wrestling lately on almost a weekly basis. Trust is the key: in these tough and dark times, find someone you can trust and keep your wrestling fire running as much as you can. | |||||||||||||

| Saturday August 1 2020 - LumberG: First match since (de-)confinement | Recent 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. | |||||||||||||

| Sunday March 22 2020 - Two head scissors and two racks | Video clips | ||||||||||||
| While I was updating the site, I took a little break now and then to send a few messages to wrestlers. One of them was telling me that he loves head scissors, especially triangle head scissors (or figure-four head scissors). That made me realize that I actually don't have that many head scissor videos. I actually had only two and they were locked, so I added 2 more. In [ Clip ID 393 ], you get to see the Mighty Suggs (id 3009) demonstrate the power of his python thighs when he squeezes them together. Don't believe him when he says he lost some strength, because they pack a mean and powerful punch. You'll see a vein popping up near my forehead that clearly indicates that I'm trying my best not to submit.
Next up, I have a triangle head scissors (also known as a figure-four head scissors) that I applied on EvilDark (id 1077) in [ Clip ID 392 ]. It gradually shifts into a regular rear head scissors afterwards.
There's a repeat rack (or a rack round 2) from The Crusher (id 1228). He personally chose the mask, but it was a cheap one so it kinda shifted right while he was racking me. He is also demonstrating his power by squatting me while racking me at the same time... You'll find this secret clip under [ Clip ID 391 ], but you will have to vote on at least 40 of the other clips to access this one.
Also, if you missed it, I silently uploaded about 3 weeks ago a rack with Vicious under [ Clip ID 390 ].
I fixed up all the locked clips requirements properly. You shouldn't be getting any spurious error messages anymore. Therefore, some of the clip will require that you unlock by voting on pics and other ones can only be unlocked by voting on clips. Simply put, just follow the instructions that appears on your screen when a clip is locked.  | |||||||||||||

| Tuesday August 20 2019 - 4 clips added | Video clips | ||||||||||||
| I've been promising for the past few weeks a few videos clips for my recent matches, so here they are. Only Phil's gut punches should be kept private, so I've put a requirement on it. If you do manage to unlock it, please keep it to yourself and don't redistribute it. Or else, Phil won't do any more videos with me. For the rest, while my opponents are a bit more open about it, I still do prefer that they are NOT re-posted anywhere mainstream (especially YouTube). Thanks!
Enjoy! And don't forget to rate them to give me an idea on what wrestling submission hold I should focus on next time. | |||||||||||||

| Sunday May 19 2019 - Preferences | Passion for wrestling | ||||||||||||
| In my travels, I've met people who use wrestling to be able to satisfy a specific condition or fantasy that they really love. I call it "preferences", just to make it look nicer than "fetish" or "fantasy". A friend once told me that a hardcore "fetish" is really a condition that you MUST fulfill in order to come. However, I think that most people are lighter on their requirements and they are flexible: they will usually still gain pleasure through variants or other means. I'm just listing some of these preferences now to recall some of my older memories. There's plenty more in this list, but I'll stick with a couple few for now. β’ Head Scissor Lovers: Perhaps this is the most common preference I've seen in many wrestlers. Some of my opponents only want to be held for a long period of time. Squeezing them tightly until they tap, or remain within the boundaries and limits of submission. Examples of wrestlers having this preference is HeadSqueezeKing (id 5553) [ Entries ], HeadlockMeHard (id 2511) [ Blog ], Headscissorsguy (id 9989), Kevin_Patrick [ Event ] and SubJobber (id 713) [ Pic ]. β’ Body Scissor Lovers: I could classify myself in this category. I absolutely adore scissors, but then again, I love racks, bearhugs and full nelsons with body scissors. EvilDark (id 1077) falls into this category, but often enough, you have variants where people prefer the side body scissors. β’ Gut Puncher and Gut Punchees: Pretty self explanatory. Marty (id 6169) [ Clip ] goes into this bucket, as well as AKRob. Despite the clips, I think both Marty and AKRob are more receivers than givers of gut punches. β’ Sleeper Lover: I get a lot of people who wants me to sleeper them until they are KO and I always them that I'll never do such a thing. When dealing with the extremists in this category, I make sure to release much sooner than anticipated. The last thing I want is someone to fall unconscious while I have this applied. For some reasons, I don't have any examples of wrestlers that come to mind right now... I'll try to think about it and re-edit this later. β’ Shoulder Riders: While this is not a wrestling hold per say, many look up to wrestling as a great way to be lifted and to be carried around. Shoulder rides are often used in tag team matches as well where one wrestler puts his opponent on his shoulder while the tag team partner jumps from the third rope and performs a lariat. Obviously, you don't see this often in our community, because we try to play safe and we don't have the training to execute such a maneuver. Anyhow, known shoulder lifters are Transporteur (id 5373) and John (anonymized)β’ Face Sitters: I'd admit this is the hardest preference for me to fulfill. I've never been really strong on breath control. Some pains are fun, but this is a sort of pain or restriction that is pretty uncomfortable... at least for me. I don't mind sitting on someone's face, but to have someone butt on my face is... something else. You can't please everyone, right? Nevertheless, most of the preferences I've listed here are easy to fulfill: wrestling is often an excuse to reach that desire. But you know what? There's nothing wrong with that. Just like a chemical or electric reaction triggered my love for bearhugs while watching wrestling on TV, I find it that the same applies to many wrestlers that I've fought. One wrestler would watch a WWE wrestler apply the face sitter and that's how he got his fondness for this hold. Another one watched a cartoon of a body scissor being applied and that was his catalyst. | |||||||||||||

| Sunday January 13 2019 - Torture Chamber Pro Wrestling Dojo: Genesis XIII | Wrestling shows | ||||||||||||
| I know.. the title is a mouthful, but most wrestling associations have a long name anyway. It refers to another indie wrestling show that I've attended. The Torture Chamber Pro Wrestling Dojo is based in Montreal, albeit in the north east region where it takes me about an hour to reach. It's very secluded. It was cold today so I didn't expect many people to show up, but to my surprise, it was packed full. They had to add for me a chair in the back. These events are also pre-recorded with a cameraman going around the ring and a still camera in the back. There is also a commentator sitting in the back with a mike constantly feeding facts and statements. It is not really intended for the crowd, but for the audience later that will watch it online. I didn't think it would be elaborated like this. The lighting was very bright and they had no restrictions on the usage of personal cameras, so this was the perfect opportunity for me to test out my Nikon. I find it that given these circumstances, it's still very tough for me to catch a moment in action that I really want. I am to blame because I still haven't mastered my camera for live action shots yet. That being said, the videos I've taken are much better. I guess also the big difference between this show and the one I've saw last June is that you don't get a light show since they don't have racks of spotlights to support this. It does create quite an atmosphere, but I could pass that for now. I felt the crowd was very obnoxious and kept interrupting wrestler's speeches, cursing at them, telling them to shut up, but I guess crowds in any wrestling shows are like this. The dojo's style of matches are kept to a reasonable time amount to keep the audience's focus and interest. Some drama is obviously added to make the show interesting. The wrestlers are pretty hunky in my opinion. Here are a few shots. You can click on them for a larger version (x2). The first one at the top is from my cell phone, the rest are from my Nikon, the last two from the set are screenshots from videos taken by the Nikon.         Savage, the one with the beard, was very charismatic and carried the audience with him. In the last image of the above set, he was eventually quadrupled tag-teamed and beaten up. A female wrestler then took a pair of scissors and a razor to shave his beard. They managed a very small portion until some of Savage's teammates came up to the rescue and save the poor lad from this shameless abuse. Hey, pro wrestling drama at its best. I enjoyed it and the crowd was ecstatic! You can see a small sequence that I recorded from it down below.  Test There are quite a few kids in the audience. I'm always surprised that parents are okay showing their young ones this type of violence. But hey, if they do grow up and become a wrestler, then why not? If they use it to gang up and bully other kids, then that's another issue. I'm sure anyway that these kids look up to these wrestlers as superheroes doing the good thing, because in the end, like in all wrestling dramas, it's always the good guys that wins. A part that made me crack up was when a big bad guy won the match (in the photos above, it's the guy with the black singlet with an orange logo. I believe he goes by the nickname Nova Cain). Two ten year old boys in the front row booed him, so the wrestler came up to those kids and told them: - "You guys are next! I'll take you boys in the ring anytime!" You should see those brave kids, they don't get intimidated. - "Oh yeah!?! We'll beat you anytime!" Their responses were priceless. I can actually picture both of them crying for mommy. Anyhow, seeing these wrestlers perform still kinda breaks my heart. Like any industry in this business, probably less than 1% of these wrestlers will have their dreams come true of joining a big name association, hoping to make the big bucks to get the bread and butter back to their families. It's still great to see all these guys and gals have fun and put their talent to good use. The entrance ticket was only 10$ and I've only attended the first-half of the show. I felt I had enough excitement for the week-end. The room only accommodates around a hundred people or so. That being said, I will definitely come back to see them again... even in this cold weather.Technically, this was also a reconnaissance or a scout mission to see if this wrestling ring can be rented. I failed the mission miserably because I completely forgot to ask about it. I was thinking afterwards that I can always contact the owners of the dojo by e-mail anyway. The rings from ICW and Battlewar are mounted on the premises once per week or month, so using them is out of the question. This one though seems to be a permanent ring for the purposes of training.

| Thursday December 27 2018 - Heel or jobber? I will take the heel part today. | Scenarios | ||||||||||||
| Some days I feel more like a heel than a jobber. I checked my previous scenarios to see when was the last time I wrote a match: it was apparently last year in December 2017. I guess I'm due... I was scheduled to work on my match with Backbreakers123 (id 209), but I realized after looking at that set that he used a lot of technical holds which I still do not know the names today. Instead of cross-referencing and researching online, I was a bit lazy and I've decided to go with something simpler. I had a match with Eman (id 2668) last year and I know the name of most of the holds I used. This helps me simplify the process of writing a story for it. Anyway, it took me in the end about 3 hours of writing, editing, placing and set up to finally come up with a proper story for this match. I guess that's why I don't do this often. Being disciplined to sit down for three hours to type and concentrate hasn't been my cup of tea lately.  You can have a look at the final outcome in Match ID 354. While I'm at it, I might as well throw in a few shots with some of the uncommon moves I have used. I could put more bearhugs and more racks, but a little bit of variety doesn't hurt. I suppose this one below doesn't count as a hold per say... It just looks cool. I really like this shot where I am about to land an elbow strike to Eman's gut. It makes me look mean and it's very wrestling-gy. I know.. it's not even a word, but I'm sure you know what I mean.
I've posted a couple of figure fours previously, but they are still uncommon compared to my other holds.
My body scissors are best known to be accompanied with a full nelson, but truth be told, chickenwings are way more effective. I've seen people escape and break from my nelson with power, but they have a lot of trouble with chickenwings. Arms placement. It sometimes makes all the difference.
Finally, this is apparently the first knee drop i'm posting.
I hope you guys will enjoy the scenario/story I wrote for the match. Give it a thumbs up if you'd like to see more stuff like that. Overall, I guess I'm just okay-happy with the match. It feels a bit bland and plain. It's rare for me to be a heel, but I could have put a bit more thought and care to the story. I had some inspiration, but not the top version variety I usually get when I'm really into it. I think the lack of Eman fighting back may have slightly decreased my interest and concentration for the story. In addition, I was also working with a time limit: I started the story about 4 PM and had to do something else at 7 PM, so I did rush and hurried up. Anyhow, I'm sure Eman and I will have other matches in the future, so I'll have the opportunity to put a bit more love to the story in the next chapter. That being said, anything I write in my match scenarios can easily be altered or modified. If you guys think I should change a specific paragraph, add a sentence or re-arrange the story to your taste, then by all means, feel free to share it with me. You will notice in page 6 of the story that I had completely forgotten to talk about the Reverse Indian Deathlock I was applying. The way the camera is placed, it feels like I'm applying different other holds instead. The leg lock is partially hidden. | |||||||||||||

| Sunday November 25 2018 - A Wrestling Week-end in Burlington, Vermont | Recent matches | ||||||||||||
The customs officer at the US border patrol was very inquisitive this time around. I told the truth once again because if I lied or tried to hide anything, they would know. As I discussed in a previous post, I'll reiterate that these officers have interviewed hundreds of thousands of passengers in their lifetime and they've become experts in breaking people to make them tell every single ounce of the truth. Hence, the lady officer was surprised that I would wrestle in a hotel. She smiled as she interviewed me and asked me what happens if I break something. I replied that I've been wrestling for quite a while now, I always take a large room or a suite and I put things out of harm's way before I rumble. She was also very curious and asked me what was the name of the website where I meet my wrestlers.  There's always the question of whether I am getting paid for my wrestling or if I will take part on tournament with prizes, but I always reply that I am a casual wrestler that does it just for fun, in private, and I never take part in public or any type of regional competitions. I stayed at the Homewood Suites by Hilton in South Burlington, Vermont. A very nice hotel with a good amount of space to put the king bed on the floor for a good wrestling week-end. I came in prepared again with my usual 4 bed sheet clippers to make sure that sheets are not sent out flying when I roll on the mattress. One of the wrestlers later informed me that this is one of the rare hotels that actually provides you a fan. I know.. I already messed up the blankets and the covers, but that's what happens when you are a hotel/motel wrestler.  I met with with VTWrestleFun on Friday. We actually had our first match ten years ago and I still remember that back then, it was a submission bout where he was drenching sweat on me. I was however surprised in this encounter to realize that he shifted to pro. He enjoys this style a lot more, it doesn't get as sweaty and judging from his response to my actions, he prefers that I do not defend from his holds. He seems to be a pure heel, liking powermoves, specializing in lifts and slams, pulls them out very easily due to his strength. If I was lighter, he would press me over his head. Lucky for me, by "lifts", this included bearhugs and racks, which we applied to each other. He was very nice to have it recorded and he told me that he does not intend to run for president anytime soon, so sharing it with you guys would not be an issue. We'll start with a few stills since it'll take me some time to process and edit out the setup frames and the silly parts of the videos. This is my attempt of racking him: he bends nicely. I only wished he'd wear a speedo or something, but heck, I'd wrestle him in anything as long as he goes shirtless to show me his hairy chest.
His rack also packs quite a punch! You know.. considering the TV and the furniture on the background, it's no wonder why people are wondering with skepticism whether I have a history of breaking stuff in a hotel match. Had I or my fellow wrestlers lost balance, we could have utterly fell back and broke that screen or that nice wooden furniture, if not the wall or the window.
Luckily, nothing broke, because we are masters in the elegant art of racking. So now, I'm taking my revenge with a bearhug. How dare you rack me? It's funny, in this pic, either VTWrestleFun is expressing some pain or he is in a state of ecstasy. Which one is it? 
But my revenge is never complete without my signature hold: The Full Nelson Body Scissors! The smirk on his face simply shows that VTWrestleFun can take it like a pro.
He told me previously that I can apply my scissor only up to 75% of their maximum power, but I understood from that message that I simply shouldn't put any pressure at all. Hey, I can learn too. I'll adapt my style if it means I can wrestle this hunk often. When we tangled, I realized that it was better if I was just following his moves and let him apply what he wants. I can defend, but just a little bit. Each time I would try to put something on him, he would make it very difficult. I'd pretend to do a face rake to take control, but it has no effect on him. Or maybe he thought I was caressing his face. I told myself that he probably wants to retain control. He likes half and full nelsons a lot and he usually goes for smaller guys. Incidentally, I think he stopped doing nelsons when I commented out that he seems to like them because of the frequency of its use, which is a bit sad because I absolutely adore nelsons.He tells me some of the wrestlers he meet are disappointed because they wanted to be punished, roughed brutally, because it seems to be the general look that VTWrestleFun seems to portray from his general look and profile. I told him to take it as a compliment. He does look like a heel that would destroy you. Deep down, VTWrestleFun is like a harmless lamb. He takes things very easy, his moves are light and he is prudent when he manhandles his opponent. He's quite a strong guy, he slams, lifts me upside down and throw me down laterally and diagonally in a very firm and secure way. We wrestled briefly for about an hour and we discussed about our wrestling styles and preferences. Big vs small are matches that definitely fits his cup of tea. I even think I might even be a little bit too big for him or that I felt he'd prefer me a bit more in shape. I did offer him to stay the night but he had to tend to his 3 cats and cut firewood so they can stay warm. Suggs (id 3009) was my Saturday match. I try to be a bit more reasonable and scatter my matches by limiting myself to one per day. Sunday will be an exception though. What can I say about Suggs? Well, for starters, he is definitely the funniest and the most talkative wrestler I've ever met. He's incredibly handsome in my book. To top of that, he also has a very nice personality. He looks like Seth Rogen and when he puts on his cap backwards in an attempt to make him look younger, it actually makes him look like Drew Carey. I actually see him do a comedy show or host a game show. He told me he could absolutely do Family Feud. There's nothing very difficult about saying: "And survey says?" Wrestling-wise, this guy is pretty versatile, but prefers the promission style or total squash. Due to his shoulder injury, he plays it safe and light: he can be a complete tough heel or a submissive jobber that gets caught in a total squash match. You wouldn't expect that from his build, right? Suggs is just full of surprises. Both his wrestling style and personality will blend in with yours easily. Suggs admitted to me that he often gets to be the heel, so getting to jobber once in a while is quite refreshing. In addition, having seen my history of losses, he'd like me to score a win with him. I did not read his profile carefully enough to realize midway in our session that his all-time favorite hold is the head scissors... and wow, this guy can really take it. He's one of the few that can take head scissors like a pro. No matter how much strength I put, he wouldn't tap. That being said, I should have been careful anyway because I apparently moved one of his tooth. That's why I don't usually apply head scissors to full strength. In this case, I probably should have verified that my legs were more around his neck. I was a bit too near his jaw. Also, let's forget about the body scissors. If he can stand the head scissors, then the body scissors won't even make him feel a thing. I flirted with him a couple of times, but I don't think I am really his type. He's totally my type though, but then again, which bear have I ever declined? He was nevertheless a very good sport to wrestle as much as he did. He mentioned he was out of shape and had little endurance, but I felt he did great. In the future, I wouldn't mind being his complete heel since it would spell less work for him and since he's made so tough that virtually nothing would make him submit. I also need to remember he also loves bearhugs, camels and boston crabs. Suggs complained about his belly, but I told him he is perfect how he is. He replies he wants to be able to see his "pipi". Yeah, It shows his type of humour.  He did make it down from 260 to 230, so he can be self-disciplined as well. It felt lighter than expected when I was racking because I was mentally set for 260 and it really did not felt that way (not to mention he totally cooperated very well and he knew exactly what to do).Suggs has one of the Strongest Bearhugs I've ever had the luck to be crushed in . Check out the video under [ Clip ID 350 ]. I was selling his bearhug badly, until midway through, there was a sudden change in my facial expression. I felt I was in trouble. I was actually thinking: "Ooof! Ungh... URGH! This is a strong bearhug. I have trouble breathing... He's crushing me so hard that I might have to give up if he doesn't stop... but ... but.. would it be silly of me to submit in a bearhug live while the camera is recording?!?". Not that I mind though. I love big burly men with strong arms and strong bearhugs ...that look like Seth Rogen. Hehehehe. Near the end of the video, Suggs adds to the bearhug a wedgie. It's apparently his favorite. He was very flexible about producing content and offered me right in advance the possibility of taking pictures and videos. We took mainly videos, but I was able to get a few stills. You'll notice the same format because I tend to like racks and bearhugs  I racked him first and there was a little oopsie because I couldn't reach his trunks.
Suggs then showed that reaching for someone's trunk is never a problem.
And of course, I needed to apply that signature. You probably know the name by now. I'll spare you the repeat.
... And that bearhug! Suggs is a great seller.  With his clenched fists, Suggs is in the fight for his life to resist the crushing might of his opponent! Will he break free and muster enough strength to turn the tables around? Ok, now I'm just employing the sentences I use as description in my matches.
Suggs is quite sarcastic. I asked him if I could put my arm on him just to hold him in a cuddle and he'd say no with a funny face, but I think he was kidding me and I took it the wrong way. I'll just force myself next time or hold him regardless. Or even better, keep him down instead with a schoolboy pin. As a matter of fact, I believe he likes doing that while slapping his opponents in the face. I remembered that because he eventually flexed on top of me and I told myself that was such a nice sight to see. I eventually gave him back his own medicine though. A few days later, I received a note from Suggs telling me that our session was a total blast and that he can't wait until next time. That definitely gave me the boost needed to really cheer me up and look forward to our next encounter. I also remembered afterwards that I asked Suggs what he'd like to do if he could choose his career. Being a roadie to setup/mount big concert stages for a popular rock band and doing tours traveling around the world were one of his passions. It does come with a consequence that it does hurt his ears a bit. The other was to be a pilot. He enjoys turbulence in a plane. The rockier it is, the more excited he becomes. BadBillOfVt was my afternoon match. We've corresponded for ages as well, but neither of us took the steps previously to cross the border. Since I was on my way to Burlington, I gave him a last minute shout and he compassionately made himself available. We took it very easy, more along the style of give and take. Our chemistry was good and we each trusted each other pretty quickly. I was able to raise him in a Fireman's Carry, but we had a bit of trouble with the Torture Rack, so in order to play safe, I've decided not to pursue the rack after a first failed attempt. Doing it again might have spelled disaster. I know my limits and I should respect his. We took quite a few shots, but I can only share the ones with mask or the ones where we don't see his face. So here it is: guess what? My signature again. Yes, that's a record: three signatures move on a same week-end. What better way to restrain big burly and cuddable opponents?
He also applied this nice reverse bearhug on the mattress:
And this rare technical Cobra Clutch. I almost was going to call it a half nelson, but a Cobra Clutch is a much more complex and effective than a half nelson.
I'm sure you realized by now that it took me a total of three separate trials/photoshoots to finally realize that I had to move the sheets, covers and pillows that I was accumulating on the sofa bed to another area so that a mountain of junk does not show up in the pictures. Sometimes, I can be pretty retarded. For a few examples, just look at the previous pictures I took above previously (scroll back up), before my matches with BadBillOfVT.  BadBillofVT is very nice guy and an often misunderstood wrestler. During our tumble, he was a bit tired, breathing fast and I was quite a bit concerned. As we made sure to include resting times between our lock-ups, he eventually recovered. He spoke and shared about his career and the development of his passion for wrestling. He started pretty late because of the taboo of wrestling in the past decades and also because he was very shy about it. He kindly gave me this very nice spandex singlet. It has a very cool look. I'll be forever thankful. I love the pattern on the lower half and the whole gear is pretty high quality.
He did contact me afterwards to let me know that he was a bit sore, so I was apparently still a bit too rough. WrestleInMN (id 3305) was my last match, on a sunday evening. Oh boy, there's a reason why I kept him for last. We've met about five times before, he always came up to Montreal to wrestle me. It was about time I paid him a visit. I haven't wrestled him since May 2018. He came in July and August 2018, but he was only there for Montreal events (Fireworks and Highland Games). That being said, WrestleInMN has a sudden volcanic surge of energy this time around. He did one of my favorite moves when he's on me: he had me in a reverse headlock where his bulging hairy chest was on my face. I couldn't budge, do anything... Not that I really want to do anything. He's one of the few wrestlers I can kid around by saying he is the Pillsbury Dough Boy. I also flirted him many times and probably blurted out one of the cheesiest sentences I've ever dare to say: WrestleInMN: "Once I get out of this, hell you're gonna pay!" Loserboy: "With you, it's always heaven!" I actually couldn't believe what I've just said myself. Somebody reading this would probably be slapping his forehead right now. WrestleInMN has gotten considerably stronger. He learned to resist and make himself immune to leg scissors. He was able to tense up his leg and bar off the pressure I use, even with my knees. This guy is really incredible. WrestleInMN taunted me about my useless legs now. - "Where are the powerful legs that so many wrestlers have ranted about? What happened to those legs of yours? Why would wrestlers submit to those wimpy legs?", asked WrestleInMN. Yeah, WrestleInMN loves to tease me now that he's virtually invulnerable. The only thing that can make him tap are the head scissors (and even there, I think I ended up pinching his skin or hurting too much a side of the neck unintentionally) and the reverse indian deathlock which requires his cooperation. We still had an intensifying nipple pinching contest where he can be the only winner since he can still take it much much more that I can. I started to preemptively tap out to make sure that my nipples aren't too sore for the upcoming week. I want to be able to put a t-shirt and not flinch each time the fabric touches my nipples. It would remind me of WrestleInMN each time, although it's not necessarily a bad thing.  I had him in sort of restraining hold by holding his arm with both legs and holding his other arm with one arm, but this does limit the things I can do on him as well. As for the rest of the time, he was on top of me, holding me down, pinching and toying around with me. He knew that I didn't mind at all. I was actually exhausted after 3 matches this week-end and he knows it as well. I need to review and update my notes about him: I've learned this time around that he can't get deep tissue massage because he would hold his breath and pass out. I suppose it either tickles him too much or it hurts him too much. However, touching him softly tames him. He knows me a lot by now, so he is always on his guard no matter what I do. He called my attempts to tame him with a soft caress on his back "Fake news" as in a deceptive way to get him to calm down, so I can plot to do a hold on him that would miraculously make him submit. He's not wrong, you know. How else would I fulfill my title? After our 2 hours and a half match where he mostly dominated me, he took me out to see Burlington. He showed me the beautiful Church street. It's peaceful and serene, yet vibrant and beautiful on a Sunday night. Yep, it was already decorated for the holidays.  We walked around a bit and he was ranting about going up a hill. There's quite a bit of slopes in Burlington. I threw at him a little insult: - "Are you going to be okay going up the slope or are you going to tumble and roll down the hill?", I asked. - "Wait until I get you again in my holds", he replied. Despite my sarcasm, he treated me out to a nice bistro called Sweetwaters where i overate. I learned in this dinner that he is a bit of a holiday grinch, but I had a very fun and amusing evening with him. He's sweet all around, has such a nice laugh and smile and his life is full of passionate things to share. After dinner, he showed me around the city a bit more and drove me back to the hotel. He is an absolutely amazing wrestler, a formidable host... and a very handsome bear, but I've already mentioned this before. He kindly escorted me back to my room, we gave each other a big warm hug and I sighed as he left. He had to tend to his dog, so he couldn't spend the night. Burlington has quite a handful of animal lovers. I'll try to bearnap and raip this evasive bear another time. WrestleInMN also has great empathy: he actually contacted me everyday I was in Burlington to make sure that I was fine, that I didn't need any food or drink or was not too lonely or left alone. Truth be told, I should have spent more time with him. Maybe I could have locked him down after the bistro, but I didn't want to regurgitate my burger in case he puts his weight on me. I think both WrestleInMN and Suggs would get very well along with each other. Unfortunately, with the housing crisis in Vermont, nobody can host, so they never followed-up or met in any shape or form. They are very close in personality and character, they are both very witty, funny, extrovert and talkative, so I'm thinking of helping them host so they can both be together the next time I'm around. Incidentally, they both have the same age and they are both younger than I am. This is like bear haven. 4 matches out of 4. 4 was just the right amount over 3 days. Not too little, not too much. I am not too sore. Best of all: no cancellations. This is what happens in a small town of Burlington with a population of 43,000 people and 600,000 state-wide. The wrestlers here are respectful and welcoming. They do appreciate the people that come in to wrestle them. This is probably one of my best wrestling trips in my book.  I renewed friendship with an old friend, made two new great acquaintances and nudged the friend I had seen not too long ago. My only complaint is that a fun week-end like this passes by so fast.  Last thing I needed to mention that is a bit off books was that I gambled a bit by opening the Growlr application and caught a fellow called "B" who works as an opera singer. A very studly and big bear who is a very nice cuddler. Not a wrestler though, but he kept me company on a day where I was waiting. | |||||||||||||

| Wednesday June 6 2018 - Clash XXII: Atlanta Clash of the Titans 2018 | Wrestling event | ||||||||||||
| My 3rd year at the Clash of the Titans has come to an end. Another year, another memorable event where I met great wrestlers and made new friends. I mentioned about a week or two ago that I would take it easy at the Clash. Truth be told, it actually went the opposite way. Thursday May 31 2018 Fun4Us (id 8822) was my designated driver this time around. I was quite spoiled. I reduced my role to a co-pilot or navigator holding my phone in GPS mode to guide us between our hotel in Mableton to the event's venue in Austell, which are suburbs or counties west of Atlanta. Both areas are about a half hour drive from Atlanta when there's no traffic.  We arrived at the venue at around 8 pm and the ring was already set up. The first people I see are the commissioner Big Joe, Harley, Kevin_Patrick, TampaChaser (id 11434). I immediately gave them all a big hug. Even though I barely interacted with Kevin_Patrick and TampaChaser two years ago, we've talked as if we were lost buddies and suddenly found our way back. We've instantly recognized each other and I'm sure we've both wondered and told ourselves why we didn't spend more time to get to know each other two years ago. Luckily, I won't be repeating the same mistake: I'll be catching up with TampaChaser later on. LatinJock4_U, Steve, BigJohn and Viper (known at the event as Armani) were also around that evening. JackBouvier and Destroyer (id 2190) joined in an hour or two later. Shawty (id 520) accompanied us and took on the mats for a few sub matches. He preferred staying on the sidelines, so he avoided the ring because he wasn't ready for it yet. Fun4Us, Kevin_Patrick, TampaChaser, LatinJock4_U and Viper climbed onto the ring and started doing a round-robin tag match. I watched them in awe wrestle each other off for a good half hour and then took a deep breath: I wanted some of the action so I've decided to join in. Well.... little did I know that I became the jobber to pick on. That's what happens when you're small. The guys wouldn't let me tag out and they were just using me as a practice dummy. No, I'm not complaining. On the contrary, it was very exciting. According to Fun4Us, it allowed the wrestlers to break glass and go all out. When things calmed down a little bit, I was lucky enough to get some private time with LatinJock4_U. We tossed each other around and I was able to lift him up in a rack. He instantly turned to me and asked me how to perform this move. It didn't take him long: he learned it instantly and easily grabbed and picked me up as if I was a light little feather. Previously, I thought of LatinJock4_U as a very intimidating wrestler. I was looking at the pics before meeting him and I was telling myself that this is a guy that probably would not wrestle me. I was obviously wrong as LatinJock4_U is probably the nicest and most open wrestler at the event. This guy is really incredible. He is absolutely humble, well-versed in pro, always willing to learn and has an exceptional personality. I would even say his smile brightens up the warehouse. I also got some time with Steve. Now this guy is hard to find because he doesn't believe in online profiles, so he is not registered anywhere. He goes mostly under the pseudonym Jet Fan. Steve did sub wrestling in his previous years, but switched entirely to pro after an injury. He likes almost every hold in pro and loves to be the jobber. Ironically, for my match against him, I turned out to be the jobber. That's also because I have trouble chaining my moves as a heel and Steve honestly goes from one move to another without even breaking a sweat. His arsenal is infinite. He really knows what to do to get the momentum going in a match. I believe I also managed to squeeze a bit of time with both JackBouvier and The Punisher (also known as The Destroyer or The Crippler). Both of them are also great heel: all I had to do was follow their lead. Near the end of the evening, I spent some time showing TampaChaser (id 11434) how to apply the torture rack. He was really eager to master this hold. Unfortunately, I turned out to be a very bad teacher because my instructions led him to hurt his shoulders. This hold is easier said than done and performing it can be very dangerous. TampaChaser has a big shoulder frame and the way he positions his arms may have been a bit awkward for the rack. We've told ourselves we need to repeat and practice this somewhat complicated and convoluted maneuver another day. I eventually switched gear to have my first sub match. Lucky me, I was up against Viper (Armani). I later learned that this guy is a black belt, Muay Thai fighter. He is probably one of the toughest sub wrestler I have ever faced. To say that Armani kicked my ass is a big understatement. This guy is so far ahead, he is such a competent and formidable opponent that I don't have the slightest chances of winning against him. Armani didn't hesitate to play a few pranks by toying around with me. I really enjoyed my time with him, but I eventually stopped the match a bit prematurely in order to conserve my stamina. I know I've always said not to look back and not to have regrets, but I really would have love to spend more time wrestling him. A very charismatic, entertaining, dauntless and sociable guy. If you want to become a better sub wrestler, make sure you wrestle him. You can learn a lot from this expert submission wrestler! Fun4Us, Shawty and I stayed at the warehouse until Harley and Joe kicked us out at 11 pm. It seems that Thursdays has become the best day to wrestle people at the Clash. Why? Well, because everybody is at their top notch shape, they are ready for action and no one has injuries. Friday June 1st 2018 The following day, I did the mistake of starting the day with sub matches. I had 3 sub matches and they've drained me drastically. I quickly became significantly tired for the remainder of the day. Then again, had I scheduled my sub matches in the afternoon or evening, I would probably have collapsed. I started my sub matches with Wildwoolly (id 4258), an opponent that I have completely underestimated. In fact, all sub wrestlers at the Clash are usually all very good. WildWoolly had a defensive stance, but he knows how to chain up his moves and take advantage of mistakes you make in order to make you tap. Very talented and very nice guy off the mats. Next up, I had a re-match with Scottilla (id 3020) whom I have wrestled twice previously at the Clash and maybe another two times at the Wrestlefest. This fifth time, he still beats me pretty easily. Hey, he was an Olympic wrestler, I've never had a chance anyway... His skills, wisdom and his wrestling experience way surpasses mine.I also had a short sub match with LatinJock4_U where I tried showing him my ankle lock. It was probably the only match I could get someone to tap, but then again, this was the first time he was doing sub, so it was quite unfair for me to go full power on him. LatinJock4_U got pretty excited and he suddenly had this strong urge to learn more about submission wrestling. This guy has so much energy and is so passionate about trying new things to explore. A really awesome guy all around. Later in the afternoon, Timnbama showed up and he immediately took charge of the pro tournament. That also meant that he sacrificed his wrestling time to manage the matches and give instructions to each wrestler part of the tournament. Believe me, this is no easy task. This wasn't planned either. Joe had to step out for the remainder of the event and Harley initially panicked, having to manage the tournaments all by himself. Timnbama sided with Harley and gave him all the help he needed. This is why in my book, Timnbama has a wonderful and marvelous heart. Traveling all the way to help out Joe and Harley. I initially registered for the Pro Tag Team Tournament with Fun4Us, but later during the day, I was surprised to see the return of J. I wrestled with J two years ago, also at the Clash. We were in a handicap match: three of us against the Mighty Mongo. This year, J asked me if I can be his tag team partner and Fun4Us kindly freed his spot. J and I went on the ring to do a practice match and wow... J pulled off moves that I could never have pulled off. He went from ropes to ropes, bouncing from one to another to do stunts and maneuvers that require a lot of flexibility. Seeing him work out the moves was really mind blowing. J chose our tag team name: it was "Big Things Come"... from the full expression "Big Things Come in Small Packages". He explained to me that it does 3 stuff: - We are small, but we do big things - It has an innuendo - I can't recall the third one... I know, I'm terrible. Our first official tag team match was against Chip (id 1809) and Kevin_Patrick. J really had this under control and was able to lead the match. Kevin and Chip eventually managed to turn around the tables. I played a little bit of the bad guy by pulling out Kevin_Patrick's boot on one of the pins he had on J. Ultimately, J gave out the finishing hold that would put Kevin and Chip's tournament journey to an end and move both of us in Round 2. I actually wanted to lose, but Timnbama had other plans set aside for us: he instructed us to win against them. The heat was starting to have its impact. The Clash venue doesn't have an AC system and they leave the door of the warehouse wide open to circulate fresh air, but in the afternoon, the air can be warm enough to drench every wrestler in their sweat. Fun4Us and I eventually returned to the hotel to get an hour or two of rest in cool AC before eventually coming back to the venue. This is where I was very happy that he cranked the AC to the max. After several hours of heat, it feels heavenly to return to a fridge. When we got back to Clash, the pro tournament preliminary matches were over for the day. We were able to force Harley on to the ring. Timnbama also climbed up to have his share of the fun. You should see the pounding that Harley received. It was a way for all wrestlers to thank him for holding the Clash event. I think he was quadruple-teamed. TampaChaser (id 11434) and I locked up on the sub mats, trading scissors and such. I did not remove my pro boots so he managed to lock in a scissor counter by putting his boots on mine. Ow. Now I can feel the pain that I usually make the others feel. Saturday June 2nd 2018 Many of the wrestlers came on the Saturday: I saw WGA-Rassler (he goes under the pseudonym Rex Moros), Wrestle007, ChicagoMuscle, PiledriverVA, H2oWrestler and JJ_Sparks (id 2445). Unfortunately, I was unable to wrestle any of these guys. I was caught up in both the single and tag pro tournaments and I was pushed in the later rounds despite my request to make me a complete jobber and to end both my pro entries on round 1 for both tournaments. I'll explain this later on. I was however able to slip in a very short sub match against Chicago Piledriver. I think this guy became an even better sub wrestler because he was able to get out of my moves pretty easily this time around. I never stood a chance anyway. Why is that the case for every sub wrestlers I meet at the Clash? In the afternoon, the great Rasslin_Bodybuilder (who also goes by MuscleBuffBoy) walked in and um... wow, this guy is really something. Handsome, humble and kind. I was initially supposed to heel him in a practice pro match, but after he got me in a clothesline, he simply said: "I guess I'll heel then." and he immediately took over control of the match. He went on to pound me with multiple consecutive moves and then pinned me to the ground. Had I known he was just staying around for a very short time, I would have spent more time with him. Then again, it's hard to distribute your time with all the many wrestlers that show up, especially on a Saturday. I initially registered to be part of the submission tournament, but I opted out at the last minute because I knew I was going to be pushed for round 2 for both single and pro tournaments. It was probably for the best since I needed to take it easy this time around. I wasn't at my top shape, but the guys at the Clash really pushed me to do my best in pro. However, watching the preliminary sub tournaments was shocking. I would not have lasted long because every sub wrestler there were so skilled. I have to say that I admired LatinJock4_U who has decided to join the sub tourney despite being his first time trying sub. My 2nd round of tag team pro match started right after the preliminary sub matches. Now, this is the reason why I should write down blog entries like this the same day, because right now, my memories are getting blurry. This match was supposed to be against Roscoe The Rassler and WGA-Rassler. WGA-Rassler ended up coming later in the afternoon, so LS_Powerhouse (id 4337) took his spot instead. We were instructed to lose this match, when suddenly, at the last minute, J made a pin and we were moving on to the finals of the pro tournament. I couldn't believe it. I have no idea what happened and when the decision was made, but I went along with it. Heck, why not? I honestly can't remember what else happened in this match or how this match turned out. I think J recorded it, so I'll have to ask him for the video.I did eventually exchanged a few messages to Roscoe a few weeks after our match and he mentioned the he appreciated me selling some of the moves he threw at me. He said that I was not stiff or fighting every move. He gave me tougher stomps and punches and I did not complain about it. Honestly, sub wrestling does help me build up a bit of resistance to withstand incoming attacks from stiff pro. My first single pro match started around 1 pm-ish. I think we were ahead of schedule. I was set up against JackBouvier. Timnbama explicitely told me that I need to win the match because JackBouvier is a bit injured and is already exhausted by the previous matches he have had in the past few days. This match went easy enough as JackBouvier lead the match as a heel, locking me holds, dominating the whole match until he was ready for me to finish it off. His instructions were simple: on his signal, I would go behind him and apply the sleeper and win the match. After his defeat, JackBouvier asked me if I can take a few pics with him because he loves pics as much as I do.
The image above is actually ironic because he is shown here sleepering me out, while in reality, he submitted to a sleeper. My guess is that he likes sleepers.
What a better way to punish a jobber with a bearhug? JackBouvier has many more images, but he'll be sending them to me gradually over the coming weeks. I saw J wrestle against Viper, who wore a Spiderman costume. I have to admit that this was the most hilarious match in the single pro tournament. J and Spiderman went back and forth for quite a while, but eventually Spiderman decided to finish it off by using his "web slingers". He used a spray can that spreads some sort of sticky pinkish substance, I really have no idea what it is. It was funny, weird, yet creative. It's a good thing to see the wrestlers show off some originality and add up some spice to their matches.Fun4Us also had his share of single pro matches. He faced JJ Hart, followed by Peter Parker (the non-hero version of Spider-Man or Viper (Armani)) and eventually lost to Roscoe. While some of the single pro matches played out, I sat down with TampaChaser (id 11434). I told him that I was very thrilled that we got to wrestle a lot more this time around. I also told him that, two years ago, I was intimidated by him. He's a guy in great shape, wrestles other big guys with ease. I didn't think he was someone who would wrestle smaller guys like me. Well guess what he said? He replied to me that he was intimidated by me because I carried all the big guys around with my rack. Lesson learned: I've always wanted to wrestle TampaChaser and I should have taken a leap of faith and interacted with him sooner. TampaChaser and Kevin_Patrick are extremely nice guys. They get along with everyone so easily and they are funny guys too. Viper and I had a short chat on wrestlers across the world: he travels often and he recommended me places to visit. He shot down Los Angeles by saying that there are lots of wrestlers, but virtually every wrestler he was supposed to meet down ended up canceling or not showing up. On the other side of the coin, he said that London, UK was the best place to meet wrestlers. People there are apparently respectable and they will honor the wrestling meets. That city has the highest rate of wrestling meetups in his book. My second single pro match was up against DCJobber (id 3247), a veteran of the Clash. DCJobber is billed at 250 lbs, so technically, I would need to lose this match with my puny 160 lbs. Big guys dominate smaller guys, right? Not quite. We were both tired. DCJobber wanted to lose the match and I wanted to lose as well. None of us wanted to go to Round 3. We asked Timnbama, our pro commissionner/organizer, if we could both lose our match in a double count out or double disqualification, but Timnbama told us no. He needed someone to take on Wrestlg to be able to close his brackets for the tournament. Ultimately, I volunteered to win the match. It's ironic: people usually want to win matches, but at Clash, people were yielding for others. The heat and exhaustion from mass wrestling are big factors that come into play. Well-versed in both sub and pro, DcJobber wants his matches to look real, especially in pro. So, I suggested that we rehearse our moves beforehand. DCJobber gave me precise instructions to follow near the ending sequence of the match: throw him on the ring, give him a kick on the stomach, throw him again and give him a real punch to the stomach and on the third throw, he would hold the ropes. Once he regains control, he'd jump from the first rope then onto me in some form of a splash. He then climbs up on the second rope and brags to the crowd. This was my cue: I would need to do a low blow from behind him, grab him in a rack an proceed with an airplane spin. Normally I wouldn't do an airplane spin at 250 lbs, but he gave me his trust as he wanted me to go full power, he wanted me to spin faster and drop with a stronger impact to reinforce his wish for realism. He sold it well and actually so well that I thought I've harmed him for real. He's an absolutely terrific wrestler. My tag team partner J was kind enough to take a video while I was in the ring. In the following racks I've extracted from the clip, I honestly look like I'm out for revenge trying to uh... strangle someone. Maybe I'm trying a bit too hard to be into character and get into that wrestling persona. I'm sure these photos alone will prevent me from meeting new opponents. My evil, scary and aggressive look will probably chase people away.
I can hear people saying: if you don't want your back broken in half, don't wrestle Loserboy. He is a serial racker.
You can also check out Clip ID 339 for a short video sequence of the rack. I could not post the whole match because there was a couple of people in the background that do not want to be seen publicly on the web.I however took the time recently to listen to the audio track that goes along with this video and I just noticed that Jet Fan Steve was nice enough to be my personal commentator yelling at the top of his lungs: - "Oh! Oh no! Oh! It's his rack! He's doing it! Oh my gawd! The rack! Ahhhhh! He spins! HE SPINS!" I should personally hire him to be a commentator for all of my matches. So much excitement! Anyhow, with DC_Jobber submitting to the rack, I went on to reach the semi-finals of the single pro tournament to face Wrestlg (id 4402). He told me I should win the tournament with all my racks, but I told him I couldn't go on. Exhausted and sweating like crazy, he graciously took the win to get to the finals because I really really needed my beauty rest. My match with Wrestlg was actually a refresher as we were doing both sub and pro in the ring (I suppose promission). He got me in technical holds on the mats and I was actually giving him punches to his abs for real. I've always considered him an elite in both pro and sub and that he probably likes it anyway. I've wrestle him twice before and he has always gave me that general impression. My first time was in NYC, we were just horsing around. My second match was 2 years ago, at Clash 20, in a sub match where he out-skilled me by a great margin. This time around, it's a pro match where we agreed that he should win. That technically means I've lost all my matches against Wrestlg. Eventually, Wrestlg was pitted against Roscoe The Rassler in the finals, who incidentally defeated Fun4Us in the other semi-finals bracket. In the final bout, Roscoe defeated Wrestlg to win the Single Pro Tournament. Here's what the tournament bracket looked like from what I can remember. The empty spaces are blanks I need to fill. With that many wrestlers at the event, it's hard for me to remember who had a match against whom.  Single Pro Tournament Bracket Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 = Quarter-Finals S1, S2 = Semi-Finals After an hour break or so, it was time for the Final Pro Tag Team Tournament match were J and I were matched up against the other tag team finalists: LatinJock4_U and TampaChaser (id 11434). Having spent most of my energy in my previous single pro matches, I've asked J to stand in for me for most of the match and thank goodness he had no problem doing so. J went on to punish TampaChaser and LatinJock4_U with his awesome flying moves and leet maneuvers. TampaChaser took control a bit, tagged out to LatinJock4_U and J was able to tag back to me. I really liked our finisher: it was an awesome tag team combo. I would pick LatinJock4_U in a rack, airplane spin him and kneel down. J would climb on the 2nd rope, put his fists together and land them on LatinJock4_U's chest. The momentum would flip me backwards to drop my opponent on the mats so I can do my pin... 1... 2.... 3 and we were pronounced Tag Team Champions of the Tournament. It was awesome. I gave J a great big hug and we did the same to our opponents. I suppose I should now change my nickname to Winnerboy. This is what I recall from the Pro Tournament brackets. You'll notice that I am also missing the names of 2 other team formations. The days went so fast that I forget who was in each team. As you can see, you only need to win 3 matches in the Tag Team Pro Tournament to make it to the end (as opposed to 4 matches in the Single Pro Tournament).  Tag Team Pro Tournament Bracket After another short AC break back at the hotel, it was time for the Battle Royale. I've decided to skip it out again, but the Battle Royale was actually quite entertaining. You had a feeling you were watching a Survivor show where everyone decided to form alliances to decide who would get booted out and in what order they should be kicked off the island... uh I mean... wrestling ring. Staying under the radar was the key and outwitting your opponent was crucial. Roscoe and Steve were on the microphone and they had a strong influence on who gets to be kicked out as the wrestlers on the ring seemed to agree with them on their decisions. Being booted out of the Battle Royale was based on a few criteria: - If you are a newbie, your chances of being kicked out were pretty high. - If you previously won a Battle Royale, your chances to survive were lower. Sensational Danny actually won the Battle Royale quite a few times in the past, so he was definitely targeted quickly. - If you are a heavy wrestler, everyone will likely team up against you. Bigger means harder to push out of the ring, so you were perceived as a threat. At times, the wrestlers outside the ring were chanting "Boring" because the wrestlers in the Battle Royale spent too much time negotiating or discussing who should be kicked out next. There was 4 referees for the match, one for each side of the ring. If 50% of your body was outside the ropes of the ring, then you were out. Harvey and Timnbama were on the south side, Kevin_Patrick guarded the west side, H2oWrestler monitored the north side and I was donning the ref shirt on the east side. I think there was nine wrestlers in the ring and the booting order was: Fun4Us, LatinJock4_U, Sensational Danny, JJ_Sparks, WildWooly, BigJohn, JJ_Hart and DCJobber became the ultimate winner... When two wrestlers remain in the ring, they can make the other tap via submission. DCJobber managed to put JJ_Hart in a move where he couldn't breathe, so he had to tap out. I think I missed one or two other wrestlers in the Battle Royale, I can't remember whom they were. Timnbama entered the ring at the last minute when DCJobber came out. They joked around, playing and bending the rules by mentioning that in a Battle Royale, you can enter the ring whenever you want, but the last man standing in the ring is the winner. Timnbama entered the ring just as DCJobber walked out. In theory, Timnbama becomes the winner of the Battle Royale. This is why later on, he received the Zucchini Award, which is usually given to those who do the silliest thing. In any case, he was given the Battle Royale Winner Award anyway. Around 6-7 pm, a feast was given to the attendees, you had cold cuts, deviled eggs, fried chicken, fruits to help everyone recover. Fun4Us was very sweet to do the extra mile to get the chicken. Shortly after, Harley climbed onto the ring with his trusty laptop and announced the winners of the various awards for this year's Clash of the Titans. Awards Best Jobber: Jet Fan Steve Best Heel: Viper (Armani) Zucchini Award: DCJobber (id 3247) Best Dressed Wrestler (Diana Ross Award): Wrestlg (id 4402) Shittiest Referree: Fun4Us (id 8822) Newcomer of the Year: Fun4Us (id 8822) Sponsors Award: Fun4Us (id 8822) Lightweight Sub Champion: LatinJock4_U Middleweight Sub Champion: Viper (Armani) Heavyweight Sub Champion: UWillTap (id 9117) Titan Sub Champion: ChicagoPiledriver Final Sub Champion: Three-way tie: Viper (Armani) + UWillTap (id 9117) + ChicagoPiledriver Single Pro Champion: Roscoe The Rassler Tag Team Pro Champion: Big Things Come (Loserboy and J) Battle Royale Winner: DCJobber (id 3247) Best Match: Armani + UWillTap (id 9117) (29 minutes submission wrestling match - it apparently beat the previous record of 26 minutes) Most Improved Wrestler: Loserboy Most Inspirational Wrestler: LatinJock4_U Rookie of the Year: LatinJock4_U Wrestler of the Year: LatinJock4_U  Not everyone showed up for the group pic because of privacy concerns. Missing in this image is Viper and ChicaoPiledriver. Jet Fan Steve was a good sport and joined us anyway, but I blurred him out because he usually does not want to appear online. For multiple award winners, I've decided to put only one of the awards. Otherwise, the image would be over-cluttered with captions. Yeah, LatinJock4_U pretty much racked up the best awards. That's telling how amazing this guy really is. That being said, my friend Fun4Us had his own share of awards: Shittiest Ref, Sponsors Award and Newcomer of the Year. Shittiest Ref may look like a lousy award, but it's actually nice to have it. Some years, this award is sometimes transformed to best ref. Harley said that it was impossible to get Fun4Us off the ring. Fun4Us was definitely very intense and energetic. He reffed almost all the matches and he wrestled intensively by reaching out to almost every wrestler at the Clash. He got along with everyone, he roughed it up or toned it down whenever it was needed; Fun4Us showed me that he has a lot more wrestling passion and adrenaline in him than I do. As everyone started to leave after a day charged of wrestling, Fun4Us and I stayed behind with the very few that remain to enjoy a bit of casual semi-sub, give and take and some light pro wrestling. I was able to put a few holds on JJ_Hart to experiment and I also managed to put some on UWillTap (id 9117). After locking my leg scissors by cheating with my kneecaps, I realized that there was absolutely no way I can hurt him. It's as if I was trying to squeeze a piece of brick. UWillTap could only grin at my futile attempts. He went on to wrestle Fun4Us and took care of him without any effort. I don't think anyone can beat UWillTap... except perhaps maybe Viper, but then again, both had wrestled to a draw. Had they not both declared this, I would have been curious to see who would last longer and who would emerge victorious. If there is one thing I learned in this match is that a submission match can be paused if both wrestlers agree that the sweat from both wrestler needs to be removed. I tried to get JJ_Sparks (id 2445) to come onto the ring, but the heat really didn't agree with him. I told him that we were lucky this year: the heat this year was actually less worse this year than the two other times I was at the Clash. Fortunately, JJ_Sparks did have a few matches. I saw him go against LatinJock4_U in a non-tourney match. Timnbama finished his work managing the pro tournament, so I was able to spend a little bit of time with him. I asked him if I can get him in a standing rack again... actually, all my previous racks on him were kneeling down, but since I felt so comfortable with him, I really wanted to pick him up standing. Fun4Us kindly took a shot of us. I was worried prior to the trip I could no longer pull stunts like this, but Timnbama is such an calm and nice guy to lift that he made it very easy for me to carry him.
This cuddly bear is full of surprises. In one of his non-tournament matches, he drank from a water bottle, kept it in his mouth discreetly until the moment came: he spurted the contents on a wrestler rushing towards him, just like on TV. He took advantage of this to regain control of his opponent. I really wish I had more time with Timnbama, but we were both spent from a full long day of wrestling. I still managed to be his boot boy by tying and un-tying his laces for his wrestling boots. It was my personal time with him... Later in the night, I was doing my usual body scissors, ankle lock and leg scissors on TampaChaser and he got excited, asking me how to apply that ankle lock. I switched back and forth with Kevin_Patrick on whom I locked on head scissors and body scissors. I then realized we shared a very similar mind. He loved to be squeezed and asked for more. He apologized for been greedy and I told him that it was pleasure to crush him... He explained to me the experience of the near submission sequence: everything starts becoming bright, you see the lights, you are about to pass out, but you tap at the very last second to stay conscious. That's exactly how I would describe myself the joy of being in a body scissors near submission. Honestly, I could squeeze Kevin_Patrick all day... except I don't have that much stamina to keep him that long. I need extra rest between scissor sessions. I have to admit, he can take quite a beating... or a squeezing and will definitely come back for more. Sunday June 3rd 2018 Most of the wrestlers have already left on the Sunday. Many have been exhausted, had to take an early flight or were injured in the previous days and couldn't come back on Sunday. By the way, by injury, it could simply be muscle pain. On my end, I only had a stiff right shoulder. I suppose I got lucky. No scars this time around. Nevertheless, I had a casual match with Steve. He showed me an interesting combo: I had to throw Steve into the turnbuckle, then I bend down, he hops over me, goes to the other side of the ring, bounces back and launches a drop kick! I can't do drop kicks, but Steve is so good that he pulls them out with ease. Mind you, one of his drop kicks did land on my groin, but I pushed myself back enough to reduce the impact. Thank goodness. Steve also told me he found my blog very amusing.. you know all the teddy bears I've been posting. I told him I use it mainly as a journal so I can remember my past matches. Fun4Us told me that I should post my stuff on MeetFighters' blog or on Facebook, but I prefer to keep this in my corner, without popping notifications in people's faces. If people want to know what's going on with me, they can casually check anytime they want. Facebook is a bit too mainstream for me and I can't control the notifications being sent if I create blog entries in MeetFighters. We also had a tag team match with Fun4Us being on my team and Steve and DCJobber as our opponents. I was out of energy and tagged often to let the big guys have fun. I also recall putting Fun4Us in a kneeling rack (I had no energy left to lift him) and lock him in a nice and tight full nelson with body scissors to thank him for accompanying me in this wonderful trip. Did he submit? Of course, he did. Nobody, not even the great and powerful Fun4Us can withstand the devastation of my signature move. WildWooly, BigJohn, JJ_Sparks, Fun4Us and I all helped out Harley around 3 PM to dismount the ring, remove all the equipment and clear/clean up the venue. Fun4Us felt that JJ_Sparks should have been given the Sponsors award because he was also there on Thursday to set up the ring and do the initial setup. Dismounting the ring is a lot of work and a bit dangerous, this is why we should stay behind to help out. According to Harley, the final count of attendees for the Clash event of this year was around 42. As with every year, about 10% of the roster ends up canceling for various reasons (more than 42 registered, but ended up not showing up). That being said, I consider this year an excellent success for the Clash. Again, Big Joe, Harley and Timnbama are the real heroes. Setting up an event like this is no easy task. These guys do it with so much love and dedication. There seems to be no boundaries for them. These guys are showing us that their wrestling passion is above all of ours combined. I spent the remainder of the day with Fun4Us, we chilled out and took it easy. We went and watched at the movie theater "Solo: A Star Wars story". Meh... mediocre and unmemorable movie. I was waiting for Emilia Clarke to unleash her dragons with her "Dracarys". I will always see her as the mother of dragons. Anyhow, we ate at Golden Coral and we've also put back some order to our hotel room which we had previously transformed into wrestling grounds. Fun4Us had no expectations prior to the event. He told me that this was probably one of his best trips. So many wrestlers, so many matches and so many memories. We both made new friends that we will both cherish forever. We parted ways the next day: we drove back to the airport, returned our rental car. He went on to take his domestic flight while I strapped my bag to get my shuttle for the international terminal back to Canada. Notes My rotation for the Clash is usually once every two years, but Fun4Us might return next year. I enjoyed it very much, but I did explain to him that for my next time, I would want to stay on the sidelines and perhaps do sub only. The awards are supposed to be for the new Clashers: it's a way to welcome them in our family or our community. I get enough ring time and the spotlights should go on to the newcomers. The Clash needs new blood. LatinJock4_U was the perfect example, and we need other great guys like him to keep this event going on and growing. Fun4Us shared with me the history of the Clash. In its starting years, it was a closed and reserved event and it took a while before it was open to everyone. It is perhaps one of the few events today where everybody can mingle together and socialize rather than shut oneself off in hotel rooms in private matches. Of course, you will always have people who will prefer the latter. Not everyone gets along with everybody, but at Clash, everybody does a great effort to include everyone without having any hiccups or discrimination. The Clash is your chance to integrate with the wrestling community and to participate, shine and have fun in the ring with other great wrestlers that think alike, sub or pro. By the way, I do have lots of photos taken at the Clash. It's just that a big chunk shows Fun4Us in action. You know what? Fun4Us has always told me that he'd create his own blog. Now's your chance to nag him to create this new blog and ask him to include these pictures. Mwahahahahah. I'm evil. Last we spoke, he already created a few entries using MeetFighters' blog interface, so make sure you check them out. Now that I think of it, the reason why I don't have that many pictures is because I would ask Fun4Us to take shots of me, but most of the time, he was busy reffing or he was reffing my own match. Another point I'd like to mention about the Clash is that the event and the tournaments allows you to match up with new people and with wrestlers you wouldn't get to wrestle one on one normally. The board of the Clash decide who goes up against whom and you don't get to decide, but their picks are usually excellent match-ups. At the venue, wrestlers will usually tone down or remove their restrictions and they will cooperate with you to make the tournament work or just to be of good sport. I'm thinking of leaving my camera in my bag for most of the time the next time I come to the Clash. I should only bring it out when a wrestler specifically asks for it. I may have made some wrestlers uncomfortable by walking around with a camera and taking as many shots as I did (95% were shots that were not of me). Not everyone wants to have their picture taken. Stuff I could bring next time I brought a first aid kit just in case and it turns out it was quite a bit useful. I however had insufficient waterproof adhesive tape for bandages, so I would need to pack an extra roll or two for next time. These are useful when you have a cloth around one of your limb and want the cloth to stay in place. There was requests from many people for Advil, so a bottle of that would have helped along with perhaps a bottle of Aleve for muscle pain relievers or maybe a few Salonpas or IcyHot patches. Just writing it as a reminder for me to pack these along for next time. Better safe than sorry. While I'm at it, I think a tube of Polysporin can also be useful. Thankfully for me, I didn't get any injuries this year. I had muscle pain on my right shoulder, but that was my fault: it was caused by bad positioning for one of the racks that I delivered. I may have lost a bit of balance while I was holding my opponent and I may have jerked the rack too abruptly: it caused weight to shift harder on the right shoulder. That being said, the rack is definitely a dangerous move... don't try this at home. I also had a little bruise on my right elbow due to rug burn on the base mats of the wrestling ring. I thought the fabric would allow friction without pain, but it's just not designed to let you slide or being pulled while you're down on the mats. To mitigate this, JJ_Hart suggested that I get elbow pads to go along with my knee pads next year. Finally, I think I've hit something outside of the ring while I was walking in the warehouse. It must have being a scratch or a cut from a prop or something, so I had to apply a little band-aid on the middle part of my left leg. That would have prevented me from getting that rug burn and scratching it for a few days. Other than that, I was still in great condition after the event, minus the fatigue from over-exerting myself lifting bigger guys and wrestling quite a bit more than my average habit. The solution is to probably slow down on trying to show off racking guys that are twice my size.... but I can't stop it! I love racking guys! It also makes unusually great pictures. How often do you see smaller guys racking big guys? | |||||||||||||

| Tuesday January 16 2018 - No fest for me this year... | Blog entry | ||||||||||||
| I won't be attending the Wrestlefest of NYC this year. This is a decision I might regret because I've been contacted by quite a few wrestlers that I would like to tumble with again. I also received messages from new wrestlers that I would have wanted to wrestle. A combination of work and family commitments are telling me that it would be a wiser decision to stay in Montreal for the month of February. However, things are looking very good for a possible travel in Atlanta for the 22nd Clash of the Titans in end of May/beginning of June 2018. I'll try to post more about this soon. Meanwhile, for all attendees to the fest, I'll be missing you guys and I hope you guys will have lots of fun. Think of me by putting on those bearhugs, scissors and don't forget about those racks too! | |||||||||||||

| Saturday December 2 2017 - Loserboy heels! | Heel power! | ||||||||||||
| Epiphany (id 1458) told me the other day that he had issues with people who lower their self esteem. In this case, the title "Loserboy" I gave myself years ago has a negative connotation. I had to explain to him that it's mostly a gimmick and that there was a history behind it. It's all pure fun, really. In any case, I've heeled in many of my matches in both sub and pro. In pro, I do lose most of them, mostly by agreement, but I still win some now and then... again, also by agreement. People who know me well understand that I generally prefer to lose, but if a wrestler tells me he wants me to win, to have my boot on their face or to stand on top of them, then by all means, I'll gladly grant his wish. Here's a couple of shots where I do have the upper hand. What happens next during the course of the match is to be discussed... Do I maintain this momentum or do my opponents perform a dramatic reversal in an unexpected turn of events?
I love to carry big guys, if not through racks, then by using lifts with my mighty bearhugs! A good example is this warm hug I'm giving to Fun4Us (id 8822). He looks like he is wincing, but he's actually a very good actor. How could I possibly hurt such a cute, strong and tough stud?
When my opponent is down, the notorious Loserboy plays dirty and pounds his adversaries until they can't take it anymore. This is what happens to the poor Vicious (id 5128) who doesn't have time to recover. I shouldn't be smiling in this pic, but I couldn't help myself. Or.. you know what? I could be smiling because I have everything under control.
Another shot on Eman (id 2668) who honestly, is a much bigger jobber than I am. If there's one match I can win with one arm behind my back, then it will probably be this one. You can actually tell this guy to put a few holds on you, but he is hesitant most of the time. You'll have to provide some fort of encouragement and support to cheer him up and to coach him in doing the maneuver properly. Or just tell him that regardless of the maneuver, he's doing fine really.
I was supposed to go visit EvilDark (id 1077) this week-end, but both he and I caught a cold, so we've decided to postpone. EvilDark has a preference on stomping, but he generally prefers that I stomp his back. Rather than being a hold, I suppose it's probably instead some form of massage. Then again, who doesn't like a good massage?
I'm actively working right now on my Round 2 match against Marty (id 6169). This sleeper should give you a hint that I am actually driving the match... Heel or not, as long as you are flexible about it, no matter what title or pseudonym you carry, you'll have fun tangling with the thousands of wrestlers in our small community. If the world is filled with 7 billion (7,000,000,000) people, and that 10% are gay, that makes 700 million (700,000,000) people to choose from. However, among that 700 million, there's really only 0.1% that are wrestlers... so I'd say there is around seven hundred thousand (700,000) wrestlers from a pool of 7 billion. One can still be hopeful and say that there's 7 million wrestlers instead of 700,000, but I do feel that the latter is a bit more accurate. It's a small niche really and even then, 700,000 is a lot. | |||||||||||||

| Saturday November 25 2017 - Uncommon holds | Some pictures | ||||||||||||
| I'm uploading today images from uncommon holds... meaning holds I rarely post online. Not because I don't want to post them, but rather because I'm a bit unoriginal and usually post the same stuff... you know, my typical bearhugs, scissors, racks, you know them. So to make things slightly different, take for example this Figure-Four Leglock. I locked it on MustangCowboy (id 11699) since it's his absolute favorite hold. He actually reversed it, so I'm the one who's supposed to feel the pain.. at least, I have to try to sell it. I think I'm smiling so no, I'm not really doing a good job. It's a bit hard to sell it if this hold actually tickles me and makes me laugh.
You usually don't see me put a Schoolboy Pin... well, actually I did post one previously, but just one. This pin is courtesy of RochesterRasssler from Globalfight. You guessed it, that's his favorite hold.
The Reverse Indian Deathlock is actually a common hold with me, but I don't usually post this because it's hard to get the right angle for it. Needless to say, I am quite happy with how it came out with MarcWrestler (id 3658). I also like the expression I'm using. Now I'm halfway there to become the heel that many want me to be.
Last, but not least, here's VinnyDevine (id 3389) in action with Ted's Diabiase finisher: The Million Dollar Dream, also known as the Cobra Clutch. Vinny also posted this on his Globalfight profile so I felt it was safe to post it here.
I absolutely wanted to make a post today because it is a symbolic post for me. It is the last day I am making a blog entry from my old apartment. I'm now moving on to a new place. Almost all my boxes are ready. It's a new milestone in my life and it's a good time for me to reboot and to start over. No worries, this blog will remain unchanged and I will still continue posting new stuff. Be-Bear (id 2910) came to me and said: He gave me a long and warm embrace, and through this hug, I saw the 8 years we've been together as boyfriends, as exes, as friends and finally as roommates. All the great moments we've had together slowly passed through my mind: the cuddles, the fun times, the match, the trips, the laughs we've had together... We both would have wanted this to last longer, but we've both agreed that it is best if we both part ways and move on with our lives. But these memories will forever be imprinted in me. Hey, I even have this clichΓ© pic we took in Mexico to remember him.  Be-Bear had a wicked sense of humor and his personality matched mine very well. In the least, we part on good terms and he suggested that we see once every two weeks to hang out. Sometimes, life is about making the hard, but the right decisions... | |||||||||||||

| Wednesday November 22 2017 - MineBuster and OrionsBelt | Recent matches | ||||||||||||
| I wrestled on monday both MineBuster (id 5188) and OrionsBelt (id 10939). Both are from Ottawa, but they were in town for a little bit of sightseeing and some wrestling. I wrestled MineBuster last year, but for the life of me, I could not remember his strengths. MineBuster gladly gave me a flashback by wrapping his legs around me. It all came back to me and I realized that his body scissors are very strong. Even the great Ben Monaco (id 5578) defined his legs as stronger than mine. Therefore, if you're in love with either head scissors or body scissors, then MineBuster is definitely your man. I tangled with OrionsBelt as well. He started wrestling last year and he is still a bit shy and hesitant. I tried teaching him a couple of moves, but I think only time and experience will help him shape his fierceness and confidence as a wrestler. He has a lot of potential, so I do expect him to develop great skills in the years to come. He'll just need a little bit of coaching. Both wrestlers wish to stay anonymous to some extent, so I am only posting pictures without full frontal head shots from these wrestlers. We'll start with MineBuster applying a grapevine that was pretty difficult to counter.
He later changed up his gear and was too shy to show his upper body, so he added a t-shirt, then coiled me in a triangle head scissors. Mind you, I do love guys his size, but if he's not comfortable showing more skin, I won't force him. I really wish he'd wrestle me shirtless though.
OrionsBelt gave me his version of the headscissors. Now it just looks like that I'm the jobber, but headscissors are really a great excuse to hide your opponent's face. OrionsBelt has strong legs too. With the proper technique, he can make them lethal. He is also pretty cute and thank goodness he wrestles shirtless.
This boston crab is slightly incomplete, but you get the idea. The missing element is that you need to put at least the upper part of each ankle under your armpits, but I didn't want to overcomplicate things for OrionsBelt.
All in all, I had some good fun and I hope they did too. It's nice to see them team up and do a wrestling trip to discover and learn from the community. During our meet, MineBuster told me he couldn't believe that I own a Soldier 76 mask and that I don't even play Overwatch (gawd no, my colleagues are forcing me to play this and I absolutely don't want to waste my time on it). I also came to the room with a Cyberdyne System t-shirt (yeah, very geeky, I know) and I told MineBuster I also have one for Weyland-Yutani. I did watch the Terminator series, but I've never watched the Aliens film series despite owning a Weyland shirt. Hey, I can like the logo or an object without being knowledgeable of its real source. Interesting fact, MineBuster was happy to deliver light punches, but he won't take any. He especially told me that he's the only one that can give out the punches. Not that I mind it anyway. During the match, when OrionsBelt locked his body scissors on me, he shouted to MineBuster, blaming him for not elaborating on my resistance... or my fondness for body scissors. OrionsBelt ended up blaming MineBuster even further once I locked my own scissors on him. Heheheheheh.. Conquering the world, one wrestler at a time... with my (not so) secret weapon!  OrionsBelt was happy to let me put him in a standing torture rack and later on, in a fireman's carry, but MineBuster didn't really like the idea of having someone half your size lift you up. In any case, he told me that I racked him last year already. Obviously, I did not remember, so I quickly reached for my external hard drive, scrutinizing it for any kind of hard evidence, but I unfortunately couldn't find any record. We definitely took photos, but we never took a shot of the rack... How is that possible? It's inconceivable! I think I'm gonna cry.  | |||||||||||||

| Thursday September 21 2017 - The hair dryer | Anecdotes | ||||||||||||
| A few years back, a friend of mine wanted to have a match against one of my opponents. I made an effort to grant him his wish by organizing a group meet. We were three in a hotel room and I pitted him against the wrestler he had fantasized about for several years. It was clear that my friend had an advantage over his opponent. He was outweighing him by thirty or forty pounds, but he was also outclassing him in skill, strength and experience. That didn't matter. My friend purposely gave his opponent a few chances and a opening or two to fight back. Winning or losing was of no importance since the body contact alone with the wrestler of his dreams was putting him into a state of ecstasy. On occasion, my friend would toy with his wrestling opponent. He would make his opponent's life difficult by applying tough holds and technical maneuvers that are hard to escape. I get to be a spectator in all of this by sitting down a few meters away from them, watching the wrestler struggle against his admirer. Midway through the match, the wrestler is able to break free and retaliates by locking on my friend a reverse head scissors. Shortly after, my friend taps out and runs as fast as he can to the bathroom. The wrestler and I were confused as we watch my friend run away from the match. We then looked at each other wondering what just happened. After a brief moment of silence, I stood up, went to the bathroom and knocked on the door. - "What... What's going on?", I asked. "Are you injured? Are you bleeding?" I heard the faucet squeak and the water running for about thirty seconds. I continued: - "Hey! Answer me. Are you okay? Can I come in?" - "Yes, come in. I'm fine", he finally replied. I opened the door and I see that my friend had removed his wrestling trunks and turned on a hair dryer, directing the warm and gusty blowing wind of the dryer towards his trunks. I was puzzled. - "Did you sweat that much?", I asked him while raising my eyebrows. He turned red and whispered: - "No. I came... I *creamed* my wrestling trunks!" I really had to hold myself from laughing out loud. He instructed me to come in and close the bathroom door behind me. He explained to me that during the reverse head scissors, his face was against the wrestler's crotch and my friend's own crotch was rubbing on the bed sheets that we've put on the carpet. He was too excited and the friction of the floor against his crotch made him reach a climax. Feeling too embarrassed to continue the match, he felt it was his civic duty to wash and clean his trunks from any incriminating evidence. - "Okay... let me buy you some time for you to relax. I'll go wrestle him while you dry your trunks... and perhaps get your mojo back." As I got out of the bathroom, the confused opponent came to me and was worried. His face was looking down in shame, thinking he did the unthinkable. - "Is he okay? Did I hurt him? Should I call an ambulance?", he asked me. I smiled. - "Nah... don't worry. He'll be fine. Just let him rest and let's just wrestle. You and me. Forget about him for now." Luckily, about 15 minutes later, my friend got out of the bathroom. He got himself in a better "self control" situation and was able to resume the match... as if nothing had happened and happy as a kid. To this day, I still poke my friend and make fun of him about this. Yes, I obviously anonymized the story by removing the names so that other people don't make fun of him as well. In any case, I'm sure some of you have experienced a similar story in their lifetime. Okay... maybe you didn't use a hair dryer to cover up your tracks. | |||||||||||||
