| Saturday November 12 2016 - Mini-Rumble in Montreal :) | Recent matches | |||||||||
| I had a mini-rumble or a mini-wrestlefest in the wrestling ring today. We were a total of 4 people: EvilDark (id 1077), Sylvain (id 2636), Phil (id 5843) and me. The ring setting was perfect. The owner was actually gone that week-end so he gave the keys to a neighbor that opened the door for us. The room was quite cold because the heating system was defective, but I manage to find a little heater to warm us a bit. In any case, after a bit of pro or sub action in the ring, our bodies was generating enough heat to withstand the cold without getting pneumonia.  Most of the time, the match on the ring were 1 vs 1, but we occasionally paired up two by two, hovering between sub and pro... The ring has enough space for two simultaneous matches. I did made sure that all three of my guests know each other before putting them together. For instance, I wrestled Sylvain last month, but both EvilDark and Phil haven't wrestled Sylvain for more than a decade. It was good to bring them back together after such a prolonged absence. Phil and EvilDark previously wrestled each other already last year in November 2015. We missed the opportunity to do tag teams or to do a two-on-one (or three-on-one) because we were short on time. I did rent the ring for 3 hours, but time really went fast. With four people around, we were however able to take pretty good photos... there was less of a need of a tripod this time around... thank goodness! We will start with Sylvain taking control with a dragon sleeper:
He gets a better grip by applying the head scissors:
We managed a little bit of double-teaming here. While EvilDark was taking a picture of Sylvain's headscissor, he took the opportunity of stomping me with his boot...
EvilDark has to keep his shirt on and so did Phil for a little while. EvilDark felt it was too cold, but Phil mentionned that the friction on the surface of the ring actually burns his skin. Needless to say, when I went on later to tackle Phil, I made sure to avoid pushing him against the mats. EvilDark later tackled me with a good old headlock with body scissors.
This one below is a move I frequently use for double-teaming: An arm scissor that immobilizes the opponent and allows any of my allies to attack freely... like a gut punch or a stomp on the stomach. You don't see it here, but I think I have a video I'll try to post later where you can get to see this revenge ring action on my nemesis.
Here's in a pin on EvilDark's arm that I don't get to do often anymore since I have to keep my reputation as a jobber... but once in a blue moon, a jobber wins a bout or two. 
I should thank the photographer for taking the shot in this angle... It's very nice and it's again not an angle I can take with a tripod. I am not so sure anymore if it was Phil or Sylvain who took this shot... My shots with Phil came out a bit blurry... I think the lenses got dusty at one point or some of us simply had trouble using the new Nikon camera. It's big, it's heavy and it's complicated, but sometimes it takes amazing shots and other times, you just want to throw it out the window. Luckily, I believe I have a few videos with Phil on the ring, so I'll need to filter, edit and upload them when I have a chance. Near the end of our session, we made a group pic to remember the fun time we've had. Brothers in arms.
This one below is actually my favorite. I was actually showing EvilDark how to do his stance for the next group pic, but the camera was set up to take a picture every 2 seconds so it took a shot I really love. Sometimes, the best pic are when you don't look at the camera or when you are naturally doing something else rather than forcing a smile.
After telling Sylvain and EvilDark how to position themselves, I went back down to join Phil on one knee.
Two other people were supposed to come, but they couldn't make it. They were Lumber_Jack_G and Phili (id 3894). We'll try again next time. Overall, this was an excellent session. It was nice to see Sylvain, EvilDark and Phil get very well along with each other. EvilDark however did not get much ring time with Phil... he believed that Phil didn't want to wrestle him much. I told him that Phil is usually very open and you just need to ask or tackle him while I'm wrestling him. I do hope to do this again some time in the future and next time, I'll make sure to put more double-teaming action. | ||||||||||
