Sunday January 27 2019 - BeastMtl and D28383Recent matches
BeastMtl (id 10067) told me previously that because of his size and strength, he often heels and rarely gets a chance to be a jobber. Hence, whenever I see him, I'm more in the mindset of being the heel since I get to job most of the time anyway.

He taught me a new hold: it's sort of an Abdominal Stretch, but on the ground. He is laying on his stomach, I sit slightly on him near his pelvis, then I take his right arm and bring it behind my back and turn him around almost 120 degrees so that he could be facing me. It stretches both his back and abs.

Now, we experimented a bit more: while I had him on a Reverse Indian Deathlock, we've decided to add this Abdominal Stretch on the ground. When combined, it offers quite a nice stretch and BeastMtl gave it a new name: Darkhan's Death Stretch. "Death" makes reference to the Reverse Indian Deathlock wihle "Stretch" refers to the Abdominal Stretch. Darkhan is actually BeastMtl's wrestling handle or nickname on MeetFighters.

I particularly liked the session we had and I've decided to make a commitment to at least wrestle BeastMtl on a monthly basis. This will also help me develop the heel side in me and perhaps, improve my thinking speed when switching between holds. It also goes in pair with my resolution to do an effort to wrestle more frequently.



I met with D28383 (id 8921) for the first time. D28383 kindly hosted me in his apartment. I knew he like scissors, but however, I had no idea that he likes side body scissors rather rear body scissors.

What's the difference? Well, rear scissors put pressure on the ribs, whereas side scissors puts pressure on the stomach and on the back of your opponent. In rear scissors, you usually position behind your opponent and put one leg on each of his sides. In side scissors, your opponent is on his back, then arches his back so that you can put your legs in: one behind his back and one on his stomach, then squeeze. The pressure points here are completely different.

That being said, we traded both type of scissors anyway, but I have to admit I have a lot more trouble submitting someone in side scissors rather than the rear ones. After all, it's easier to contract your stomach than contracting your ribs. The amount of pressure required on side scissors is way higher. This is where I told him that I'll bring my wrestling boots next time to help me out.

I took the risk of meeting D28383 despite not knowing his face. He asked me why I didn't ask for a picture. I told him that many faceless wrestlers remain that way for a reason. It's usually because they want to stay anonymous and/or the internet freaks them out because we live in a culture where we are surrounded by cameras everywhere we go. It's also by experience that when I ask for someone's pic on a faceless profile, I often no longer get any replies afterwards. It's a deal breaker for some. So.. I didn't want to take the risk. D28383 explained to me that he would have given a pic to me without any issue, so I could recognize him when he picked me up at the subway station.

Anyhow, we did mostly some give and take and took it easy. He has this nice hairy chest and I felt that he was quite shy, but I tried to make sure that he was relaxed and calm during our session. We exchanged bearhugs, I picked him up in a rack, but he was uneasy because being picked up off the ground in the air like that always makes anyone uncomfortable, especially on the first try.

Before leaving, I did tell him to give me a shout if he'd like to be squeezed again.

I did forget to ask him something though: I still don't know what his username stands for. Then again, it could just be random characters and digits.
