| Saturday January 12 2019 - Eman and GT | Recent matches | ||||||||
| I had a re-match with Eman (id 2668). I guess we were ready to produce a new chapter for the last scenario I have written. Suprisingly, Eman got a bit more experience now, was able to fight back, put more strength into his moves and can now apply holds. Something, which I remember, he was reluctant to do the first few times I met him. Eman learned to change over time and understand that wrestling is a 2-way street. This one is sort of a semi-headlock. Maybe I'm over selling it. 
This one is new. I believe Eman was going for a bearhug with body scissors, but it turns out to be a chinlock scissors instead. I won't complain. I don't think I ever posted this type of hold on my blog anytime before.. and I need to be fair and even with every submission hold out there. 
So, by fighting back, I've decided to try something new as well: this is a variant of the surfboard that is much less dangerous. The jobber fights back by bringing his arms forward and there is never a moment where the tissue, muscle or bone on the shoulder is at risk here, because you're not pulling backwards like a real surfboard. This is a much safer version that I've seen recently by watching an old school match. Eman has this nonchalant look, so I guess I should have trained him in the art of selling a submission hold. Here I am putting all this effort of making it look like I'm ultra mean and that my holds are apparently devastating, but he has this face that tells us "What are ya doing?" 
Lastly, since I had my boxer shorts and gloves ready, I took a couple of those as well to make a fellow boxing fan happy. 
Side note, Eman has this habit of forcing someone's hand on to his pouch pretty often, despite being straight. GT (id 233), whom I had a match that is only listed in the old matches section back in 2005, was a very good sport to wrestle me again after I requested it. Considering that he's not a wrestler, never had a desire for it and does it only for me, it is a very big leap and effort that I really appreciate. He lost some weight since and his legs now packs a real punch through his regular bicycle workout. For scissor lovers like me, that's a real blessing. I warmed him up a bit with my usual signature hold.
And you guys all know that with a furry chest like this, then no one gets away when they fall prey to my bearhug with body scissors! 
GT is quite a quick learner and since he is taller than I am, he was able to pull out with ease this full nelson with grapevine, one of my favorite holds. That being said, I cannot put this hold on him because I'm too short. Yes, it requires that you have longer legs than your opponent, or that you are at least taller than him. For a video clip with GT applying this, have a look at [  Clip ID 360 ].
Lastly, GT had no trouble applying this dragon sleeper. Another proof of his fast learning ability.
GT and I took the rest of the night to relax. We spent a good amount of time talking about our past and all the years that went by. 2005 to 2019 is a lot of time and a lot had happened since. | |||||||||
