| 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. ๐คฉ 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. ๐งธ 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. ๐ 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. ๐ 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. ๐
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. ๐ 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. ๐ 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. ๐ 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 ๐ 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." ๐ 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!" ๐ 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. ๐ค 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. ๐ 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?" ๐ | |||||||||

| Wednesday September 30 2020 - Loserboy vs GT | Scenarios | ||||||||
| Yes, I am long overdue for a new scenario. I apparently haven't written a match since almost a year. The rebuilding of the site has a lot to do with it along with the 2020 crisis, but still, I should have made a little bit more effort. This scenario with GT (id 233) is actually a rematch. We've fought before and the contents were posted in the old format and I unfortunately still did not find time to restore the legacy matches yet. Anyhow, you can view this new battle by checking out Match ID 373. This story was a quick write because we took very few pictures and videos... just enough to produce a 3-page match. Maybe it's easier this way because when I write a story that spawns 10+ pages, I get discouraged very fast and it ends up taking a lot of time before I release it. Here's a shot of him slapping on me one of my favorite stretching hold: The Full Nelson Grapevine.
Many thanks to GT for being such a great sport. Make sure you read until the end of the match because his last pose is in my personal opinion a very great flex.  | |||||||||

| Monday August 24 2020 - Marty and GT | Recent matches | ||||||||
| I had two matches this week-end, each separately. While getting at the hotel, the elevator is limited to capacity of one, we wash your hands once we get in, both me and my opponent are staying safe overall. Plus none of us has attended a super-spreader event. It's been a year since I had not wrestled Marty (id 6169). He actually took the initiative of contacting me to ask me how things were going. He gained a little 5 lbs in his belly that is barely noticeable. I told him I like it anyway. It's nothing like the 10 lbs I gained... Marty was much more of a heel this time around, taking control, which was a bit strange because I see Marty generally as a jobber. I guess confinement has awoken and refined his wrestling senses.  After a few bouts, I could feel Marty weakening, so I took the opportunity to put him in my arm scissors with gut punch combo. He loves gut punching so this is the perfect hold for him. You can view a video in [ Clip ID 398 ]
In the evening, GT (id 233) came over and he kindly shared a couple of holds with me (even though he doesn't wrestle). Again, a very good sport. I personally think the mask goes very well with his hairy chest and belly.  You can see him give apply a head scissors under [ Clip ID 399 ]
GT didn't mind showing the strength of his legs. Being confined as well, he invested some time exercising on a stationary bike at home. GT can be taught a lot of stuff and he'd accommodate most styles and scenarios. He's very flexible. The pro gear also suits him well, although next time, i'll make sure to make him wear boots as well. It should give him a meaner look. | |||||||||

| Monday June 1 2020 - Scenario: Loserboy vs Cubby | Scenarios | ||||||||
| I received an approval from Cubby (id 4578) for the match that we held back in November 2018. I finished writing it in June 2019 and I know.. it's now June 2020. It just so happened that our schedules were busy and conflicting, then the site went down, and then there is thing going on. You turn left and right and it has almost been two years. Yep. Time flies. But hey, better late than never, right? You can access the scenario under Match ID 360. It's as campy as ever, with a twist on superheroes against villains. Guess who's the villain? By now, I guess you guys are already accustomed to my very unconventional writing style for most of my matches. And honestly, if I made you laugh while you read the story, then I've completed my job successfully. 
If you've enjoyed the match, then please take the time to leave at least a thumbs up or a comment. Also, please let me know if there's a bug that prevents you from doing so. Cubby and I really want to do a Chapter 2... if you know what I mean. | |||||||||

| Saturday April 4 2020 - Staying inside... | Blog entry | ||||||||
| It's during times like this that we don't realize how much freedom we have and how much we miss it when we no longer have it. Like everybody else, I'm staying inside waiting for the events to unfold and for the current crisis to pass. I should consider myself very lucky because my workplace forces everyone to work from home. Not everyone has this luxury. It also does make me more eager to wrestle once this is over. I do want to travel, meet the wrestlers I've talked for years, but never had a chance to meet.... Or meet again those that I haven't fought for years. But yeah, nobody knows when we will be able to do this again. I used to be a hermit and stayed indoors for months playing video games for hours on end until 3 AM and then realized that online RPG games were just destroying my grades back in university. So, I guess I'm not too bothered by the current state of affairs, I still play games, but in a limited way. I guess nowadays, I spent a bit more time on YouTube or other video sharing sites instead looking for matches that gives me ideas on what holds I can apply (or being subjected to) and what scenarios I could write. This gives me more time to work on the site as well. Most of the blog is up while the personals is lagging a bit behind, because it was important for me to lift myself up before I can lift others. I see people browse and send wrestling messages more often these days. It does add up to the anticipation of being able to meet and wrestle again. I guess this is also a nice opportunity to get to know your wrestlers better. I also see more people turn towards virtual matches, or send more videos and photos, which of course still will never replace the real thing, but they do ease down the tension. Those that would never reply to my messages before would suddenly talk to me all of a sudden. I guess when the world changes or when it gives the impression that it is near the brink of extinction, there is less cherry picking between wrestlers.  Hey, I'm not blaming them and I'm not complaining either.Some of us probably wish this was all of a dream... and that you would wake up the next morning and everything is nice and normal. And I'm curious: what happened to Globalfight's personals? In spite of all this, this event while limiting and dividing us physically all apart, it does mentally and emotionally bring us closer in some way. Whether it is from interacting online more often, calling them, thinking about them or wanting to meet when things go back to normal, whether it is wrestlers, friends or family. Anyhow, guys, please stay well and safe. We'll all go through this and we'll probably wrestle more or be willing to travel to wrestle more once all of this is over. We might even train and fight harder because of this. | |||||||||

| Tuesday September 17 2019 - Cubby match | Scenarios | ||||||||
| I think Cubby has been pretty busy. I haven't received a response from him yet for the approval of the match I wrote since the end of June, so I'm gonna try something different. This is the link to the match: https://www.bearhugger.net/match/view.php?id=360 You will need an access code for it. Both me and Cubby have it. I obviously can't give it to you guys because I require his approval of the match, but you guys can, if you are friends with Cubby, try to ask him for the code. You can tell him it starts with 833 and I'm sure he'll figure out the rest. You can access Cubby's profile by clicking here: https://www.meetfighters.com/users/cubby Please try not to piss him off. | |||||||||

| Saturday June 29 2019 - In progress: Cubby vs Loserboy | In progress | ||||||||
| After 7 months, I've decided I'll take some time to sit down and write a scenario for the match I had with Cubby (id 4578) in November 2018. The last match I wrote before that was in December 2018, so it's not too bad. Usually, it takes me a whole year before I splurge out a new scenario. Anyhow, It's done. It took me 6 hours to sort/pick/resize the pictures, write the story, re-arrange the sections, do a few editing passes and put it all together. Phew. I've sent it to Cubby for approval and I'm waiting for his reply. The story might still change depending on his feedback. That being said, I won't post the match publicly yet until he gives me the "ok". For this blog entry, I took the liberty to include four pictures that has different frame shots than the ones I've included in the match. Since my camera was configured to shoot rapidly in a short time lapse, I usually pick anywhere from two to five pictures of the same hold in a set of twenty. What happens with the other shots? Well, I take another one or two to post it here and I discard the rest. They are usually trash because the hold was being prepared, someone closed their eyes, I was doing a weird grimace or I ended up laughing or smiling too much. Mind you, you'll notice that in the pics I select for any given match, I still smile too much, but that's because I really don't have any other pics I could use to replace them. And wrestling is supposed to be fun anyway and you guys know that I don't take myself seriously when I write these scenarios or take the pictures.  WolfJobber (id 8490) once told me that my wrestling matches scenarios are very campy and I absolutely intend to leave them that way. So here are a few: we'll start with me putting on a Reverse Indian Deathlock on Cubby. What better moment to show who's the boss? I really love Cubby's expression here.
I'm probably very obnoxious with this nipple hold on Cubby, but he is really irresistible and I don't find that many wrestlers that are into nipples... so... I'm gonna take advantage of it.  Plus, Cubby seems to cooperate very well, expressing sorrow in an otherwise pleasurable hold.
I know what you're thinking. Does Cubby even fight back at all? Well, of course he does. Here, Cubby shows his newfound strength by lifting me up and carrying me around. *blush* Cubby can always lift carry me anytime wherever and whenever he wants. 
Finally, Cubby combines his knee backbreaking skills with a little claw on the gut! For him, I am light as a feather. He pulled this out with ease.
I'm gonna run the risk of repeating myself, but I'll do it again anyway: Cubby gives me hope that handsome wrestlers his age and generation can still show respect, honor the agreed schedule and travel hours to have a match with you. Cubby is a a very good and kind wrestler, so I hope you guys will get a chance to wrestle him too one day if you ever make it to Florida. | |||||||||

| Wednesday March 6 2019 - Elrac: 7 years later... | Recent matches | ||||||||
| Elrac (id 692) and I go a long way. The earliest record I had of him was a match we had in 2008, but we did wrestle before 2008. We simply only started taking pictures around that year. We've posted at least 3 matches online and they're relatively very similar. Elrac estimates that our last meeting was 3 years ago, but something tells me that we haven't had a rematch since 2012 (7 years ago). What gives? Well, sometimes, we lose contact of each other. When we do get back in touch, our schedules just doesn't appear to align themselves. People change with time. I do too. On my side, I gradually stopped wrestling on weekdays since I usually prefer to rest or do something a bit more relaxing after work. Hence, I've started concentrating my encounters on the week-ends. I prefer to be on full steam, full power when I wrestle anyone. Elrac, on the other hand, is usually only available during weekdays. Nonetheless, I've decided to do a little effort this time around and met him on a Wednesday. Through our exchanges, which were mostly light trading of holds, he reminded me that his favorite moves are chokes, neck hangs, power domination holds and arm wrestling. In fact, if you looked at any of our previous matches, you'll see a lot of those. I always try to take into consideration my opponent's preferences when I create scenarios. This time around, I went much easier on him because he had a previous left shoulder injury. It also meant that he didn't rack me this time around. It's a sign that I'm getting heavier when I am now officially heavier than Elrac. Elrac lost some weight recently and he now stands at 160 lbs. On my end, I'm at 162 lbs. I guess I should start watching myself and stop running after those hamburgers. Elrac prefers to dominate if his opponent is smaller, and prefers to be dominated if his opponent is bigger. Since I'm crossing the gray zone, we've both did a bit of both.Anyhow, we took a few shots today. Yes, I'm having that calm, resting, nonchalant look again when I put someone in this bearhug body scissors combo. It's such a peaceful hold.
Elrac returned the favor and since I'm so full of myself, I had to flex to show him that it has no effect on me because I just love this hold so much. I think I was even laughing in this pic...
Since Elrac is such a fan of arm wrestling, I've decided to include a shot here. I think in this particular shot, I was pretending to be stronger than him.
In response to a request by a fellow laddie, I also took in a few boxing shots. They're a bit fake due of my lack of experience in the boxing domain. They're still better than nothing.
You can tell that I am in a jobber mood when everything I wear is white: white trunks/speedo, white wrist bands and white ankle bands. Can it be any more white than this? This last shot below was a preparation shot to instruct Elrac what to do next, but it looks like as if I'm putting on him some sort of headlock. It could also be a half baked sleeper. (It's really a question of perspective in my opinion.) Anyhow, I've decided to keep it in just for fun.
Elrac quickly realized that the mask goes very well with the boxer trunks because they are both blue. All that is missing are some blue boxing gloves... We continued to trade holds to each other for about 2 hours. Elrac reminded me before leaving that we need to meet again, but in less than 7 years. | |||||||||

| Sunday February 17 2019 - The Hulk | Memories | ||||||||
| Sometimes, there's a memory that's hidden deep within your thoughts that would just resurface now and then. While I was in the subway, something like that came back to me: I remember a match I had about 7 years ago with a fellow under the pseudonym JB. His style was a bit different, but then again, we all have differen styles or tastes. I think he was younger than I was. He was bigger, taller than me and I remembered he was definitely hairy. He had this scenario: He would be this mean bad guy that would use his bearhug against me. However, the bearhug would give me power. The more he would bearhug me, the angrier I would become. I would be so angry that I would become The Hulk, act like him and hulk him out of the bearhug, taking revenge by bearhugging him in return. However, if he reached and grabbed... uh... my groin, I would lose my powers and I would turn back to a powerless human. Then he'd proceed to bearhug me again and the great circle of The Hulk would loop forever. He shared me this idea he kept pushing over several months. When we finally met, he was too shy to enact the scenario. Still, doing the effort to meet it's one big step out of that cocoon. One person's scenario, style, or preference may look weird or strange for one, but to me, each of those differences are a great way to explore. I'm not unfamiliar to superhero wrestling and yeah, you may think I'm weird, but I do enjoy that element of super weakness or super strength as you may have seen in some of my wrestling scenarios. I try to be open as much as I can because many scenarios are easy enough to realize and yet, so many people hide them in shame, while there is nothing to be ashamed about. Just for fun, I tried sending him an e-mail because I think it would be fun to retry this, but to no surprise, the e-mail has been deleted due to inactivity. Life is short. Explore your fantasies or at least, share them with someone else. | |||||||||

| Monday January 7 2019 - HeadSqueezeKing vs Loserboy | Scenarios | ||||||||
| HeadSqueezeKing (id 5553) took the time last week to write a very nice story with the pics we took back in July 2017. He came up with a match scenario of 8 pages. You can take a look at it under Match ID 355. Here are two pictures that came from the match. I think this is a reverse head scissors. I usually apply them the other way around, with me facing my opponent rather than looking the other way. My guess is that applying this way probably yields a different type of pressure that HeadSqueezeKing might enjoy.
You guys have seen this cross-breed body scissors with bearhug combo that I'm starting to use more and more. Many opponents don't like the full nelson, so what better way to make the body scissors even better by replacing the nelson with the bearhug instead?
If you like the match, please don't forget to put a "Thumbs up" on the match to at least show HeadSqueezeKing your appreciation for the time and dedication he invested in the story and scenario he shared with us. | |||||||||

| 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. | |||||||||

| Thursday November 29 2018 - Cubby in Orlando | Recent matches | ||||||||
| My time is Orlando was limited because that trip was reserved for family. I however managed to slip in a single match with a cute fellow cub who goes under the name of Cubby (id 4578). He was able to put time aside for me and he drove 2 hours to get to my hotel in Kissimmee, Florida (close to Orlando). Looking at the map, I realized afterwards that it is quite a drive since he is from Gainesville. Yet, Cubby was very nice to take the initiative and go all the way. When he appeared in front of my door, I knew I was in for a very good time. Wow, what can i say about Cubby? He is perhaps the cutest, most handsome and nicest cub I've ever met. Possibly, the youngest too (he's 21). *blush* We started with submission wrestling and gradually switched to promission. We eventually also tried pro fantasy with a touch of superhero/villain. This is one of the rare occasions I can do this style because not that many wrestlers are into this variation of wrestling. Cubby was very nice to be verbal about it by sharing to me that he enjoyed the superhero matches I've posted. That made it easier for both of us to have an even better session. I've always said that communication is the biggest problem between two wrestlers when they wrestle each other for the first time. Well, you wouldn't have that problem with Cubby. He'll share his styles, understand deeper your liking for it and incrementally work his way from there. I really felt comfortable sharing my thoughts with him. For example, we've elaborated on the subtle things we like about wrestling. We know that some pro moves on TV are really just for show: you could tell which moves are really painful and which ones would do nothing at all. You would experiment this by trying them on your opponent (despite the TV saying not to try it at home). Yet, no matter the hold, the opponent would always be in pain. It has to come a point that I would imagine that a wrestler could just touch his opponent's shoulder and he would scream in pain. As such, it became a fantasy for me to see wrestlers apply unorthodox moves like perhaps the nipple squeezer with the groin claw and an opponent would still sell it... and even pretend that he cannot do anything about it. That he is stuck. Caught in a move that he cannot escape. In reality, is the opponent really stuck in this hold, or does he just wants (or loves) to be caught in this hold? Mix this with superhero/villain scenarios, one could also consider this as a kryptonite or a way to drain away your powers. Cubby and I seemed to agree on several elements of these scenarios. Cubby told me that he often gets to be the heel, so I've decided to turn the tables around by trying to be heel instead. He would try to escape or to fight back, but I would often ignore it or make it sound that his attempts to escape are all but useless and futile. It seemed to me that he was enjoying being the jobber. I offered to rack Cubby since he told me he has never been racked before. Sweet! I get to be his first racker! He wasn't really comfortable at first since he doesn't usually get lifted, but honestly, he was very light for me and cooperative. We tried it kneeling down and then I captured it standing up.
By the way, Cubby had no trouble re-applying the rack back at me. Fast learner and efficient. He's definitely a natural!
You can see here that Cubby is a master in the art of applying boston crabs! Look at him though: that beard he has is to melt for... and that cute face. He told me that he can't grow a mustache to go with it. I think with time it will grow itself naturally. He shouldn't worry about it... And he's cute the way he is anyway.
I rarely ever get to do this rare "You are mine" hold. It didn't seem to bother Cubby at all. In fact, I believe it's one good way to drain him from his superpowers, to render him powerless, making it easier for me to follow up on other... humiliating holds. I was showing one of my biggest grins in this picture, while Cubby was selling it as one of the most punishing holds he has ever endured. 
I definitely love his "S" wrestling gear. It suits him well and it makes it looks like that I am perhaps dealing with  Super Cubby! An invincible wrestler, but this groin hold is his only weakness! His kryptonite! I now know the secret to defeat this cute cub! Mwahahahhaha!Since I was traveling light and only brought carry-on luggage in Florida, I didn't bring my tripod and had to improvise again with Do-It-Youself makeshifts stands. The pics didn't turn bad after all. Thank goodness. I told Cubby I was intimidated by his age since he is much younger than I am. He told me he'd wrestle anybody as long as he is not afraid to hurt you when he puts you into a hold. He's very open. He spoke to me about his life and his family. He went through a lot and he is very mature for his age. He's most probably more mature and more responsible than me. Things seem to brighten up for him at the time being and he's pursuing a career that has a promising future. His schedule is very busy and he studies as much as he works, which makes me realize that he really goes out of the way to make his matches happen. I am very thankful for that. It shows great personality traits in Cubby. I offered him to stay the night, but he had to go back. I obviously had to give him a big warm cub hug. But yeah... I would definitely return to Florida to wrestle with him again. Cubby is really an awesome wrestler and an even better person.  As for the rest of my stay in Kissimmee/Orlando, I am more the Universal Studios/Harry Potter type of guy rather than a human caught by a mouse trap (Disney). I spent most of my time in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley or with Transformers, Jurassic Park and X-Men, capturing various clichรฉs. Yeah, I know, it's very touristy and Universal is still a mouse trap, so I'll spare you the details. I'll just share one clichรฉ which I am very happy about: I caught this during the nightly 6 pm Hogwarts light show right when they shot the fireworks. It's a bit sad that this came from my cell phone camera (LG G4) and the resolution/quality isn't really to die for. But meh, it works and the pictures are still fine. The pixelation you see when you get close to the image makes me wanna cry though...  Okay... I'll also include this one last shot in front of The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade.  Luckily, I didn't buy any of their 50$ wands! I did regret not taking a picture with Wolverine. I was thinking of extending my pinky and my index on both hands (no, not the middle fingers) to imitate his claws while I pose beside him. But you know what? I can always do this another year. Universal had a few big cranes behind Diagon Alley: they were building what seems to be a new extension for the Harry Potter theme parks (perhaps the Fantastic Beast franchise). So, I'd imagine I would be due to come back very soon. Honestly though, I'd come back more for Cubby than for the theme parks. | |||||||||

| Monday June 4 2018 - Atlanta Pre-Clash: Fun4Us and Shawty | Recent matches | ||||||||
| Where to start? Where to start? I just came back from a trip to Atlanta and I've decided to split the summary of my time there in two parts: one for my hotel match with the boys which I will write right now (pre-Clash) and one for the Clash which I will write later. The Clash entry should appear in the next few days since that one will require much more to time for me to write and remember... I arrived in Atlanta last Tuesday and met up with the Fun4Us (id 8822) and Shawty (id 520) at the HartsfieldโJackson Atlanta International Airport a day afterwards (Wednesday May 30 2018). I've previously met with Fun4Us in April 2017 so I gave him a big huge hug. It's been more than a year, but we've kept in touch through the usual online communication streams. However, this is the first time I was meeting Shawty. I've only known him through chatting online. We've known for longer than I can remember: we used to trade wrestling pictures and I certainly remember approving and admiring his many wrestling matches/scenarios which he creates on the site. As you can see with his track record, he loves losing as much as I do. After catching up and getting to know each other better, we promptly headed back to our hotel where we've unmounted the frame of the bed and transformed it into wrestling grounds for our 3-way rumble. Fun4Us is still the very strong wrestler that I remember. He might even be stronger this time around. I had quite some difficulties managing him in sub, but I felt Fun4Us toned it down for me (been the nice guy he is). My scissors couldn't do much to him, but the ankle lock would work only if I had him low. As for the cheat of a leg scissors using my knee caps, that still worked well. I then locked horns with Shawty and I realized that I could easily overpower him, so I took Fun4Us' example and reduce my strength just a wee bit. It's not everyday I get to wrestle someone whom I outweigh by 30 pounds and this gave me a clear advantage over Shawty. To his credit, he did manage to make me tap anyway in a couple of technical holds. I always imagined Shawty a pro wrestler, but he is actually a sub wrestler. We eventually ended up doing some double-teaming. At that point, chaos ensued because the room became a war field where everyone was on his own. You never know if your friend will go against you. We erred mainly in submission and promission, but added a few give and take. The body scissors was often used as a benchmark to gauge our strength and endurance.
We obviously didn't used this hold exclusively. Fun4Us is shown here massaging my back with a camel.
And I am displaying here some tough love to Shawty: little bros like him should remain in a nice and tight headlock.
Overall, Shawty is a fierce fighter with lots of stamina. Give him a few more years and he'll also become a formidable wrestler. I'm sure at his age, Shawty has already wrestled more wrestler than I did. Later in the evening, Fun4Us had this bright idea to go to a male strip club, similar to what we did in Montreal last year. Atlanta holds many of them and he picked one that was called "Swinging Richards". The name itself cracked me up. At the same time, this would become Shawty's first experience and we really wanted him to break the glass and explore the underground. Let's just say that Shawty wasn't too shy to insert those one dollar bills around a dancer's band or underwear.... He was pretty generous with his ratings on the dancers, then again, I'm sure we'd wrestle almost any of the strippers at these clubs. Over the next few days, we also spent some fun time at the theaters watching The Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2 and Solo: A Star Wars Story. Call it a breather in between the many matches that were intertwined with our schedule in the upcoming days. Wednesday was our day for all three together and our paths slowly diverged in the days to come. While Fun4Us and I headed to the Clash from Thursday onward, Shawty had scheduled hotel matches during that time: he felt more comfortable with a one-on-one setting rather than an open warehouse like the Clash. That being said, he was still available for two short evenings and wrestled various guys in submission matches at the Clash. Fun4Us didn't hesitate to remind me to write more blog entries, but then I slammed it back into his face again by repeating to him: the day he writes his own blog and updates it as frequently as mine, then I'll allow him to complain and judge its frequency. I should mention that Fun4Us gave me a new teddy bear and baptized him as "Beau", which means "Handsome" in French. Here's a shot of me showing off this new recruit in a silly selfie.  I actually look tired here, but after 4 days of consecutive non-stop wrestling plus the travel, I could use right now a healthy dose of beauty sleep. You'll notice you won't be able to rank this picture and that's because I don't want any 1s or 2s out of 10s on this image. This little fellow is a 12 in my book. Knowing that I do own a collection, Fun4Us had this burning rage and desire to augment it by adding a new cuddly member in the family. Does this new teddy bear have any special powers? Of course it does: his stomach smells like "Cake" and his paw has a button that will emulate his heart beat. Awwwww... I honestly fell in love with it instantly. Beau has other defensive abilities: I used him several times during this trip to warm me up by putting him on my chest while I sleep. The extra padding serves as a dual/triple-layer of warmth and protection. Fun4Us likes to cram the AC of the hotel room to the max while I shiver in coldness underneath the thin sheets of blankets. Despite this, Fun4Us' body is a furnace while mine is a Popsicle. Incidentally, Fun4Us also has his own collection of plush toys he carries around with him. His Star Dragon by the name of Orville is now his travel companion. I took a sneak selfie of him while he was busy talking to Shawty.  All right, time for me to get some sleep to go back to work tomorrow. It felt surreal being on vacation for one week, but it was certainly needed and it felt nice and good. I needed the rest... maybe wrestling for four days isn't a rest, but it's still better than typing on a computer all day. | |||||||||

| Sunday January 7 2018 - Loserboy vs Jobberboy, chapter 3 | Scenarios | ||||||||
| I actually sent this match for approval to Jobberboy (id 482) since mid-December, but my guess is that he's very busy nowadays because I still didn't receive any response. In any case, I felt that there was nothing in the match that prevents me from releasing it. Even if Jobberboy has any objections against the storyline or on how I used the images, I can always change the match afterwards. Jobberboy is someone that is really nice and enthusiastic about these photo matches, so I'm sure he won't mind. This is actually the third chapter. Jobberboy wrote the first two and since he ... uh... spoiler alert... forcefully made me lose the first two chapters, I told him that I would take care of writing the third one. The only problem was that it took me nearly 5 years to write it. In contrast, a much more disciplined Jobberboy usually writes a story in a year or less. So yeah, the pics were taken during the NYC Wrestlefest of 2013.Anyway, the result is in Match ID 341. If you need to read from Chapter 1, you can click here instead. Again, it is not a necessity. You won't get lost if you haven't read the previous chapters. Here are a few sample pics from the match. Ranked second on holds I love being caught in, here's the Full Nelson Grapevine again!
Jobberboy's shows that he is no pushover. In fact, he's Heelboy here when he locks in his lethal triangle head scissors! Personally, I can never make those work properly on someone else. Triangle head scissors always hurt me more than they hurt my opponents, but Jobberboy has the right length of legs and he probably knows how to use this technique properly to get the most bang out of it.
Another grapevine festival, this reverse grapevine is actually very fun. It's slightly painful, but it's a good type of pain. It's actually better than the good pain that people talk about in the gym when you lift weights. This kind of pain usually makes me laugh... and when you make me laugh, it's because you're doing it the right way.
Lastly, this knee backbreaker is a bit funny. I think I was a bit too heavy for Jobberboy.
I just realized that my hair is so long in these pics. I could even have a Mohawk in some of these shots... I guess I'm due for a Chapter 4, but I've decided to skip Wrestlefest this year again. Besides, it's a bit too late. When I make plans, I usually make them in November or December because the terrible Penn hotel always has a big promotional sale on December. I get my room at a discount and lock in that rate until February's fest. If I changed my mind and reserve now, I would probably pay 20-30% more, so I'll skip it again this year.  Update (2018-01-08): I just got Jobberboy's approval one day after posting this. I guess I was too impatient. | |||||||||

| Sunday December 3 2017 - Loserboy vs Marty: Rematch! | Scenarios | ||||||||
| I finished writing up yesterday the story for the 2nd chapter of the chronicles of Loserboy vs Marty. I sent it for a review and approval to Marty (id 6169) and he gave me his blessing. You can read the scenario under Match ID 340. Similarly to what I did to one of my previous matches, I added a few animations to spice it up... make it slightly different. For example, here's one of me racking him indefinitely:
With this mechanism in place, I don't have to worry about getting tired holding 200 lbs on my shoulders even after racking him for an hour... Unlimited stamina! Its as if I'm using cheat codes and save state hacking in real life. (Don't worry, only a geek manipulating emulators would understand that last sentence.)If you haven't gone through Chapter 1 yet, you can still read that one first under Match ID 152 (this was actually written in 2012...), but there is no real requirement to do so since you will understand what's going on regardless if you've seen the prequel or not. It's not as if there is a necessity to read the chapters in order or to read them at all. Don't worry, you won't lose yourself in the silly twisted plots and overwhelmingly campy storylines I come up with in my matches. Anyway, if you liked the match and would like to see more chapters in the future, then please be sure to leave a thumbs up on the match or a comment or two. Marty is someone that's very enthusiastic and collaborative about the idea, so I'm sure I can get him to shoot another chapter... hopefully, one that doesn't require 5 years of waiting. I just need to put my act together, call him and wrestle him. He's a busy man, but he's not impossible to schedule for a match. Perseverance, understanding and patience is the key to work with Marty. | |||||||||

| Sunday September 3 2017 - Attack of the C-Cub | Something silly | ||||||||
I was doing a little cleanup on my laptop and I bumped into this animation that I created 5 years ago. Yeah, that's 2012. It's a very very silly file, but I was just having fun and I was also learning the mechanics of GIF animation that is currently in use in some of my matches. Yeah, 2 birds with 1 stone. It's not very difficult with the online tools that are made available to us nowadays, so I get to make better ones like this hadoken animation that will be used in one of the sequel scenarios. GIF animation and Photoshop allows me to distort reality and create dazzling overzealous science-fiction nonsense and campy storylines. I've given this cub (or teddy bear) the un-original name of C-Cub (id 800). It kinda played somewhat a very minor role in my previous relationship with Be-Bear (id 2910). He always pushed it away because it was too rugged compared to the rest of the collection. Yes, this C-Cub (id 800) also has a profile, but I only use it to test new code that I add onto the site. In other words, it's a guinea pig. | |||||||||

| Wednesday August 30 2017 - Fun4Us vs Loserboy | Scenarios | ||||||||
| A new match (or scenario) has been made available: Fun4Us vs Loserboy. I didn't had to do anything: Fun4Us (id 8822) took matters with his own bare hands and came up with the perfect recipe to defeat me.... oops, spoilers! Ha ha ha, it's not as if you weren't expecting it anyway. You can see the combined weight of his work in Match ID 334. So yes, full credit goes to him for assembling the photos together, writing up a story to go with them and investing all the time needed to do this (which is a lot because I can tell by experience with all the matches I've been writing in the past). I'll include a few pics here, but I think he went and posted at least one instance of each of the different moves we took together except for the few unusable ones. Please do take the time to put a little thumbs up on this match to show Fun4Us your appreciation of his work. The two images below shows his versatility and his knowledge of wrestling moves, since I am rarely caught in these: The Hangman and The Crucifix.
Fun4Us can also show his sheer power by applying the Single Shoulder Backbreaker... also known as the Hanging Backbreaker. There are so many names actually. Fun4Us refers to this one as OTS or an Over-The-Shoulder Backbreaker.
This one is very close to the Loserboy Lock: it's a Dragon Sleeper with Groin Claw combo. The only thing missing from it is actually a Nip Bite to complete the combo.
Last, but not least, this one was more of an experimental move. While we couldn't figure how to follow up this hold, Fun4Us simply grabbed me... so yeah, this one is not part of the match.
That's it for now. We're currently discussing about meeting next year for maybe an event in the states, but that's still a long way ahead. | |||||||||

| Monday August 28 2017 - Second to last stretch | Recent matches | ||||||||
| Last day to rent the ring is September 15 so I made sure that my latest matches were in it. I wrestled Mainewrsl (id 559) about a week ago, so I took the opportunity to give him his first taste in the ring. While he is unfamiliar with pro, he did appreciate the space that was given to us considering his light-sub wrestling style. Mainewrsl is a nice guy with a good swimmer's build and quite a modest personality. He says he doesn't have much experience wrestling, but I can see that he knows what he's doing and his profile also mentions fourteen matches under his belt. So, I didn't let my guard down. Nevertheless, he had a wrestling style that's very easy to follow and adapt. He has good strength with his scissors, so there's a lot of potential there. With some fine tuning, I think he can become a very fine sub wrestler. Yeah, he's domain also prevents him to post pictures so we didn't take any. However, yesterday, I met with both Sylvain (id 2636) and Eman (id 2668). We intended for our session in the ring to be a photo session, so here goes: We'll start with Sylvain applying the basic, but effective full nelson:
He kindly applied on me one of my favorites to be caught in: The Full Nelson Grapevine Combo. It may look like I'm yawning, but I'm actually howling in pain... or expressing joy.
I repaid the favor with my signature: The Full Nelson Body Scissors.. yes I know, this is a full nelson fest. It's very nice physical contact if you ask me.
This last one from this set is the typical, but lethal head scissors. You can tell that I'm relaxing here...
You'll notice that I'm wearing new gear and Sylvain is actually borrowing one of those gears as well. They are from eLucha.com - from all the places I've bought trunks, they are the ones who has provided me with the most resisting, tough and great looking material. They are high grade, high quality and last a long time unlike the thin and cheap trunks I buy off eBay. They also make you look pretty good and you don't really see your thing going loose. Mind you, this is probably a minus to many. Eman was next to step up and we actually started his set with a new mask that he bought... but I told him that it made him look like a killer, so he ended up using my yellow mask which I never use anymore. You can't get a bigger jobber than Eman, so you'll be happy to now that I'm heeling him in every pictures we took. You guessed it: this probably means that I would most likely win my match against him if I wrote a scenario. It would be that rare shiny win in my endless streak of losses. Without further ado, let's start with my traditional bearhug:
Then to show him my strength, I lifted him in my Fireman's carry. For the record, I did rack him too. Him and Sylvain actually, separately of course. Eman did told me he prefers the fireman's carry over the rack though.
This is the time to show me inner strength.. or my inner heel, or the mean part of me! How about this Chinlock with Gut Punch using the ropes? I'm happy with my mean face here. I actually don't get to do that often.
Last but not least, let's put Eman in the Tree of Woe with my boot on his check. Actually, considering that Eman is not locking his boots around the post, this is just him being down backwards with my boot on him... I suppose it could be a boot choke, a kick or a stomp.
Again, I'm happy with my heel grimace in that pic. Maybe I should heel more often... or maybe I should stop looking at the camera and smile. All in all, there's definitely enough pics for two separate scenarios, actually three because Sylvain and Eman took their own set. However, at the speed I'm going through my matches, I estimate that it will probably take a year or two before I get to it since I have a dozen of previous other scenarios to produce... I had one final match to close this stretch with HeadscissorGuy (id 9989). My previous match with him was not too long ago: February 2017. It was another one-sider where I mainly applied head scissors on him although I did manage to make him put a few holds on me. Like most jobbers, he can be trained. Though I have to admit that I was a bit surprised with his behavior today... I felt at one point I was a germ for him and he was trying to avoid some contact with me. Maybe it's a misunderstanding. | |||||||||

| Tuesday August 8 2017 - Ready... Steady... Crush! | Scenarios | ||||||||
| Yep, my match against The Crusher (id 1228) is already ready. I had good inspiration in the last few days because the photos went out pretty well. You have to admit that The Crusher is quite a model to follow. There's no way I'm going to be like him, but one can always dream, right? It does encourage me to train somewhat harder, lose that extra weight in that belly I've been accumulating in the past few months... Anyhow, the match is ready and you can access it easily by checking out Match ID 331. Please leave me a thumbs up or a comment if you liked the match. The good news is that with enough feedback, I do have enough pictures to produce a second chapter.
I already have an idea of how I am going to set it up. I'll be using a little bit of unfair advantage to even up the odds. I would be able to have The Crusher kneel down and hold him like this. I'm sure you are wondering: how would this be possible? The real truth in this picture is that I was just explaining to him how to do a chinlock. Without the right context, you can easily insinuate completely diametrically opposite situations in these pictures.  While I'm at it, here are a few shots that will never land in my scenarios since these are sort of demo shots or prep shots. I guess some of them can almost be considered as blooper/outtakes shots. I was trying to explain to The Crusher here that his headlock needs to be tighter and closer to the neck and he needs to be a bit more.. intimate. I mean... pull me closer please. Big guys tend to be careful and have this little fear of hurting others. It's always a good thing. Better safe than sorry, I guess.
In this one below, it looks as if I'm doing a monkey stance (ooo, ooo, aah, aah, aah), but I'm actually telling him how to hold me in a torture rack. The Crusher doesn't need that much training because I did say he was a natural. Racking is in his blood.
Despite me looking like an idiot in that pic above, we get to at least see another nice shot of my opponent. | |||||||||

| Sunday July 2 2017 - BeastMtl vs Loserboy | Scenarios | ||||||||
| I took opportunity of our three day Canada day week-end to write down a scenario/story for one of my previous matches. As I mentioned in a past blog entry, my match with BeastMtl (id 10067) was the one I wanted to write next. I got the approval pretty quickly from BeastMtl, so you can now access it under Match ID 330. Here are two images that I couldn't include in the story. This one below is a full nelson camel clutch combination, one of my favorite combo holds to be caught in. It has to be done properly though because you can easily burn or pinch the skin due to friction between your arms and the opponent's shoulders. Needless to say, BeastMtl applied it like a pro. I didn't put this pic because I felt that I already had a good set of camels included in the match.
This hold below is very technical. It's that professional armbar submission you often see in UFC. The angle was just inappropriate. I either should have placed the camera differently or I should have asked for a photographer to take this picture. We were only us two, so my friend the tripod was the only unresponsive and immobile photographer...
To finalize the set, here's a nice sleeper that *is* included in the match. I selected this one because I like my struggling expression... hehehe.
Believe it or not, despite all the moves being placed on me, I do get to put a couple of holds on BeastMtl for about a little bit less than half the match. In any case, you probably know the drill by now. In the matches I invent nowadays, I most often get to throw in a few attacks before I get completely overthrown and overpowered. I need to change this format, but sometimes I lack the inspiration. It's also because I enjoy this style. I have to respect my nickname after all.. In any case, I hope you guys will enjoy the match as much as I enjoyed writing it. Next up in my queue is the match against CanWrestle (id 9693). I need to sit down for a couple of hours and write it down. | |||||||||
