Sunday March 5 2017 - 2 matchesRecent matches
I met Vicious (id 5128) again yesterday. He was all out to work on part 2 of our previous match, mentioning that some people told him that I should get a punch in the crotch (a fake one of course, thank goodness) or be caught in a Tree of Woe. It was too late for a ring rental. Rentals are usually made at least a week in advance, that way I don't disrupt too much Bella's schedule... so instead, we met for the traditional 4 hours match. I told him to take it easy this time around, and in any case, he was recovering from a flu. According to him, a combination of coughing and me applying a body scissors may have caused some muscle pain near his ribs. Oops. He'll take it easy for the next weeks.

I did tell him that pics aren't necessary each time we meet, so we simply laid low and relaxed, occasionally trading a few holds. Vicious was kind enough to let a one week beard grow. In my honest opinion, he looks great with one... but then again I'm biased and as far as I'm concerned, a lot more people prefer guys that are clean-shaven. I guess I'm part of those weird guys that thinks the opposite. I won't be seeing him sporting any beards soon because his working field requires a bit more professionalism, hence, the razor comes daily into play. Booo.



Today, I had a 2 hours ring rental with BeastMtl (id 10067). Both pro and sub were on the menu, but trial and error was also part of the goal. It was a good time to experiment. It helps that BeastMtl has a very imaginative mind, capable of improvising and coming up with new holds.

BeastMtl had the great idea of taking shots first... because the last two times I met him, we wrestled sub and we were then too tired in the end to take pictures. After having learned our lessons, we've decided to take the camera out and BeastMtl was a very good sport to do traditional shots like the bearhug, the rack and the camel.

BeastMtl prefers his bearhugs with the arms in, because the opponent is helpless and he cannot defend himself (like hitting the opponent's head with the arms for example). I suppose you could still use a head butt... but I'm sure I would hurt myself in the process. Both BeastMtl and I agreed that this bearhug was particularly a very nice shot compared to the other ones that were taken:



I obviously won't let BeastMtl go away before putting him in my infamous rack.



One of BeastMtl's favorite hold is the camel clutch.



Oddly enough, it's after I placed the camera away that BeastMtl came out with absolutely excellent action poses and held me in all sorts of amazing holds that I would have wanted to capture.. but, meh... It will be for another time.

As the name implies, BeastMtl is pretty strong. In pro, he lifted me with ease in an Argentine Backbreaker (that's the rack that is done on one shoulder, the one that is done over both shoulders is called the Canadian Backbreaker). He also got me in a rare inverted bearhug and then an even rarer reverse-inverted bearhug.

When we were doing sub, I stopped doing my leg locks on him because his legs are so strong that he just reverses the hold in such a way that it hurts me instead. With boots, it's just worse. I'm tangled, can't get out and have to work hard to get my legs and feet free before I do anything else. He's also one of the few guys I've fought where my body scissors with full nelson are kind of useless... until he gets very tired. Then, maybe I can get that one little submission in there, but that is, yes, kind of a cheat. With a nickname like Loserboy, you'd have to expect me to cheat once in a while, right? Hehehe...



I was taking a few profile shots of me since I never took them with this somewhat unconventional combo of a gear for a ring... It's more a sub's gear than pro, except for the boots and kneepads. BeastMtl did tell me that some of my poses were a bit cliché and common (like the one with a foot on one rope), so I've decided to try out something a bit different.



I'm actually quite happy with this one. I probably should replace my current profile picture with that one above, but then again I'm going to scare the shit out of many wrestlers just because of my leather gloves. However, overall, I do look less menacing and somewhat playful, don't you think?

I'm thinking now that I should have also taken a side shot where I'm shooting a hadoken fireball from my hands... but that artistic photoshopping business (or silliness) will be reserved for another time.



I'm writing this down as a side note, but I just realized that I completely missed adding a blog entry about my match with Anonymous on Monday Feb 13 2017. I can't talk about this much, because his domain on journalism requires him to be a bit hidden from public view (how ironic!). All I can say is that he toughened up by a LOT since our last match and that I now recall that I should not give him free full nelsons... This is where I am facing down on the mattress and he climbs on top of me and latches his full nelson behind me. With a weight of 260-270 lbs on me, I obviously can't do a thing... and for some reason, that makes my opponent extremely happy.
