Sunday September 10 2017 - Week-ends are for wrestling ;)Recent matches
The last time I wrestled Ben Monaco (id 5578) was more than a year ago. His schedule got pretty busy with University and work at the same time. He kindly gave me time yesterday for a match in the ring. It was nice to see that I could still punish him with my scissors. He's one of the few wrestlers where I sort off heel him in a semi-submission match. We caught up for what we missed during the past year and we took it easy. I did not forget his claws or his excessively strong (!!!) headlock. They are still lethal and if I didn't have a good resistance and love the squeezed this much, I would have tapped out. Unfortunately for him (or luckily for me), he can squeeze me as much as he wants.



I'm actually terrible at keeping in touch. Lumber_Jack_G is another wrestler I haven't fought since February. So, we've decided to give it another go in a brief match on Friday. Lumber_Jack_G took the opportunity to introduce me to SlowSubs, a fighter from Arizona who was in town for the week-end.

SlowSubs was quite a tough beast! His scissors pack a punch and he has an endurance beyond any wrestler I've seen. Big, beefy and strong, his slow sub style like his name implies is an absolutely great way to fight while watching out for your opponent. As our stamina drained in our continuous fight, we eventually switch to trading long submission holds, mainly body scissors and head scissors. And we've continued to do so until our ribs were sensitive and the slight squeeze or touch of it would make us wimper in pain. We both enjoyed this... this sort of pain made us both laugh. We were both arrogant and stubborn, refusing to give, re-applying the submission hold and squeezing over and over.

We were in a hotel room so movies were played in the background to cover up the noise we were making. I saw Princess Bride and partially saw Hoodwinked, Surf's Up and To Die For while I was battling out SlowSubs. It was a bit distracting, but it was a light way of resting in between holds. At one point, we were taunting each other. He'd squeeze me in a body scissors and tell me to flex as a sign to give up, and I'd refuse to do so. Then, when my turn came, I'd ask him the same. I'm pretty sure I forced him to flex more often in body scissors than he did to me... However, he did made me tap more often overall using headscissors and sleepers. It really didn't take him long to overcome me by simply avoiding my legs. A fast learner.

That being said, I didn't wrestle Lumber_Jack_G much because he was already pretty worn down by SlowSubs. It shows how much wrestling SlowSubs can take compared to any of us. Now, I'm heading to bed, holding my left rib... It should heal in the next few days. I think I'm getting old... I can't handle this many matches with this intensity over a week-end anymore. But really, when I grow older, I'd like to be like SlowSubs. I'd like to have his endurance, strength and stamina to be able to wrestle for so long and still be able to fight.
