| Tuesday April 9 2024 - KickSands, MineBuster and MainEagle | Visitors in town | |||||
| It's 3 for the price of one! Julian_Chang (Previously known as KickSands (id 5185)), Dipper (Previously known as MineBuster (id 5188)) and MainEagle (id 1086) were visiting Montreal for the week-end. I thought I would be just a tour guide, but we ended up wrestling, I think partly because it was rainy outside. Being a party of four, we took turns triple tag-teaming each other. At one point, I was head scissored, body scissored and gut punched. I even got a very nice double-bearhug... I think my first ever, squeezed between Dipper and KickSands. ð The other guys weren't as cooperative as I was when they were being triple-teamed. I guess this really shows the inner jobber heart that I have while the others are showing that they can fight and persevere their way out despite being overwhelmed from all ends. I finished the night with a few light bruises, but the one that stayed the longest was a mark on my neck that actually looked like a hickey. The funny thing is that nobody gave me one.. it could have been a rear naked choke, an inadvertent squeeze, possibly some pressure point of some kind, everything gets lost in a four-way struggle and it's impossible to keep track of who did what. But who cares, right? You get to go home with a trophy! We should see it that way. ðĨ° Dipper wanted to go to Arcade MTL afterwards. It's a nice bar where you pay for a one-day cover fee and you get unlimited access to arcade cabinets and gaming consoles. We ended up playing The Simpsons arcade game, we did some DDR, we also played Super Contra, Metal Slug 5, 4-player pong, Warlords (a game where each player protects their corner and deflect multiple fireballs) and we had two tournaments of Mario Kart Deluxe 8. You can tell that people drink and play because all the joysticks had buttons stuck with alcohol. ð I think MainEagle would have preferred to visit the city being the historical buff he is, but it was rainy anyway and he was being a good sport by going with Dipper's idea and joining us and watching us play. I did see him play Terminator 2 and Crazy Taxi as well, so I'm sure he enjoyed our outing as well. Dipper dominated the rankings though, showing us his l33t gaming skills. We are just one generation apart: I grew up with the NES and he grew with the SNES. They went to a burger joint after midnight, but it was time for me to get back. I hugged every wrestler and we parted ways. I get to keep in my memories a very sweet night of wrestling and gaming. ð I had a rematch about one or two weeks ago. We tumbled lightly again, trying to teach him how to avoid my scissors. I toyed with him a bit more this time around, knowing his skill level and his limits. I think he had a better time in this re-match. He was constantly worried about me not having fun previously, so I kept telling him this time that I actually really enjoy squeezing him. Some people are very squeezable and RobyC is definitely one of them. He has the perfect size for me to put my legs around his waist and I can squeeze gently to get a nice little submission. ð RobyC eventually stopped struggling at one point, realizing that I was keeping him down, pinned, immobilized and making fun of him and letting me enjoy being the heel once in a while. | ||||||

| Monday June 20 2022 - Last minute Ottawa trip | Travel matches | |||||
| I don't usually do last minute trips, but given the circumstances, there are always exceptions. I was in Ottawa last week-end and had a blast while I was there. ð MainEagle (id 1086), who came all the way from Washington D.C. 3 years ago, originally planned to come to Montreal again, but the week-end that just passed was the Montreal Grand Prix (Formula 1), which also meant that all hotels are booked or any vacancy remaining was priced at 3x-4x the regular price. He was going to Ottawa to meet a few fellow wrestlers there, so I decided to join him there given that he came twice to Montreal to wrestle me... and while I'm at it, I might as well add in a few more matches from locals. It's a small effort compared to the bigger distance he needs to cover. On Friday night, I arrived by train at the Ottawa train station. MainEagle kindly drove me to our hotel. There, we got to meet KickSands, who generously took the day off for us because his schedule was already overburdened and he was preparing for his trip to Vancouver. KickSands destroyed each of us separately with a couple of arms bars and a couple of rear-naked chokes on top of all the jujitsu moves I can't name.
This is when we noticed that the only way we could win was to double-team against him in an old fashion two versus one. Payback has never been so sweet, although KickSands branded me as a traitor to my own country. ð Canadians should stick together when tackling Americans. I can't show MainEagle's face so all you get is his arm muffling KickSands' mouth while I hold him in an armbar with arm scissors or perhaps, a form of crucifix armbar holding his most precious weapons: his hands and arms while MainEagle treats him like his boy toy. ð
Our time was short, but we tumbled back and forth as much as we can. I am still no match against KickSands, but he kindly allowed me to put him in a few body scissors to cheer me up. As I squeeze my legs around his waists, he told me: "That's why I don't let you put scissors on me." ð which is really one of the best compliment he can give me. I'm putting myself a note to always try to take good pics and a lot of pics for KickSands when he wrestles others. He does a great effort of being an absolutely amazing photographer when there are bouts of others and it's the least that we need to do when he is fighting his opponents, where he cannot be there to manipulate his camera. It's because of KickSands that I was able to get excellent pictures from both the Sherbrooke meet and from today's match. MainEagle and I went to visit Rideau Hall and a couple of historic places. When we got back, CanWrestle (id 9693) was around and we rumbled a bit more. We occasionally added the two on one here and there, but in the end, I finally joined force with CanWrestle to make MainEagle submit to a variant of the Loserboy's Hold! ð I had a bit of one-on-one with MainEagle, but I realized afterwards I should have spent more time and I should have taken more photos or videos ð Nevertheless, KickSands did take this wonderful grapevine shot!
The next morning, MainEagle headed out to visit his friends, while I stayed to tangle with Minebuster93 (id 5188) (Dipper). Our last match has also been 3 years ago and he is still as strong as last time... if not stronger. I did remember that there wasn't much I could do against him and this time was no different. However, his fondness for head scissors allowed me to follow up with a session of squeezing that grants me a couple of free taps. ð Dipper is still the charming and handsome stud from 3 years ago and I still will wrestle him again each time I visit Ottawa. A couple of hours later, a newcomer whom I spoke with since a couple of weeks ago showed up: MDWIsAwesome is his online handle on MeetFighters. He's a very cute, shy and studly chinese fellow with a big big heart âĨ. His favorite holds include the torture rack, the spladle and the body scissors. Needless to say, we traded a couple of those. Obviously, his scissors was no match for mine! ð I squeezed him multiple times to submission while laughing (and flexing) at his own.
I'm laughing now, but MDWisAwesome has a lot of potential to grow. Give him a year or two and he'd probably destroy me easily... hands down. ð Since racks is also his favorite, I was happy to oblige:
He definitely could take it. His small frame and weight made him a very easy wrestler to handle and to carry. I have to admit that the best part was the cuddling part. ð He is very cuddable! I know.. that's not even a word. ðĪŠ I got the spladle he requested on him too, but given the jockstrap he was wearing, I am not sure if I can post it here. ðĪĢ Many thanks to CanWrestle for showing me how to do it the right way. I had to stand up, but I realized much after the session that I can do it next time just by sitting down and pulling my opponent's legs towards me. There is the fun sub way of doing it (that you never see in High school wrestling or on TV) and there is the amateur/freestyle way of doing it. The freestyle way is to hold one leg with both arms and the other leg with both legs. CanWrestle (id 9693) joined us afterwards and I volunteered to be their cameraman in their very hot match. ð You can support both of them by getting their match: https://www.watchfighters.com/posts/dad_son_wrestling_with_mdwisawesome_trailer-mtunmtwj The three of us went to eat at a restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. We explained to MDWIsAwesome that he was definitely the highlight of our week-end. We actually didn't expect him to show up because he was uncertain with directions even with today's standard with GPS and all sort of assistance with map orientation. We explained to him that most newcomers with zero or few past opponents usually are 99% fake profiles, end up being no-shows or profiles that ghost you the moment you get into town. MDWIsAwesome was that 1% exception that honors the engagement. MDWIsAwesome had to leave shortly after the meal. CanWrestle and I went back up and we casually wrestled each other in a light relaxing match. We didn't take any shots this time around considering we already took a bunch last month when he was in Montreal. My time in Ottawa went pretty fast... The awesome time I had there made me realize that it's time for me to start traveling again... more often!  There are still a few important restrictions when traveling in Canada, so I'm still waiting for them to be dropped so that I can be less stressed about it.  In case you haven't noticed, I do have an Instagram account now that uses a new rebranded online handle: ScissorMTL I guess this new username better reflects my wrestling style and my preference for body scissors on top of hinting my location. The  icon on the top right of the page should lead you there and my postings on that medium is limited to 1 pic per match, so you'll still always find more here. ð
After a bit of pressure from CanWrestle, KickSands and Sunny_DeLeon, I figured it was time. You guys know my stance and views about social media... They control your information and they can close off, ban and delete your account any time, so I usually don't bother with them and that's the reason why I have a site and a blog instead: I get better ownership and don't wake up the day after to see my account wiped out or given a strike for an obscure reason. However, I'll give Instagram a little exception this time around. | ||||||

| Sunday October 20 2019 - Ottawa week-end | Travel matches | |||||
| I took a trip to Ottawa by train this week-end. This was sort of a last minute trip. I usually plan my travels at least a month in advance. This was an exception, but I'll get to that shortly. Previously, both CanWrestle (id 9693) and MineBuster (id 5188) came to visit me in Montreal several times in the past few years and at least twice separately in the recent months, so it was only a matter of time that I would repay them the favor. The other reason I had to do this now is that there's a possible career/job change for me in the coming weeks that will technically restrict any travel that I can do for the next 6 months due to a probation period that I'll be going through. Anyhow, I took a stay at the Albert at Bay Suite Hotel in Ottawa and purposely selected a Luxury King One Bedroom Suite which would give me a large 1,000 square feet room that would cover my needs for a wrestling space. I transported the king bed to the living room (gosh, that was terribly difficult), put on the bed straps at each corner and I was all set. CanWrestle told me previously that he worked as a front desk attendant/clerk previously and I had completely forgotten about it. This is the reason why he recommended me this hotel and why I always pick this one when I'm in town. It's spacious and ideal for wrestling. I had a match early morning with ZeakMartin. A nice Pakistani wrestler, smaller than me, but with a drive for heeling that is far beyond mine. He's a very very sensual guy, preferring a one-on-one sessions and flaunting his prize and his slim and lean body over his opponents. I would call our match a passive submission match, where I would just let him apply his holds, defend from his attacks slightly and let him strike a submission after another. One thing I did notice is that ZeakMartin does not reset when a tap is made. Instead, he'll follow up with the next move. However, I'm sure if I had asked nicely, we would have gone right to a lock-up position. From his small frame, I determined that I could probably make him tap easily with a body scissors, but he already knew that and he made really sure to stay clear from them. His accuracy, unparalleled flexibility and speed and his heel-driven mind are what best describes ZeakMartin. This heel-driven aspect allows him to switch from one hold to another effortlessly. His reaction speed makes it such that if you blink for a second, you'll find yourself under ZeakMartin, not knowing what had just happened. MineBuster (id 5188) was my next match right in the afternoon. He was actually the one who suggested that I get in touch with both ZeakMartin and KickSands, the latter of which who would join us two hours later. MineBuster was at an advantage because my left side was sensitive. It's as if my left ribs would react intensively on any body scissor impact or friction. Since MineBuster's thighs are thick, it covers a wide area and can easily press me in such a way that I will immediately laugh and undoubtedly submit. With this handicap in mind, MineBuster easily crushed me and I felt totally useless and unworthy of his might and power. I was able to get a video with MineBuster, but he did ask me not to show his face. So, all you get is a mysteriously strong and handsome wrestler crushing me to death with a body scissors.
Since KickSands was coming in later, I skimmed quickly his devastating, terrifyingly awesome reviews, and I knew that a sub match was coming. With that in mind, I switched to an energy conservation mode in preparation for the dreadnought that would arrive shortly. I suggested to MineBuster to do a give and take session where I can give him a handful of head scissors for him to enjoy. This would allow me to recover slightly from the mild injury of my left side. When KickSands came in, I took the opportunity to let MineBuster and KickSands go at each other. Lo and behold, I was devastated to see that KickSands was utterly in control of MineBuster. He was swirling around, giving MineBuster such a very hard time. MineBuster told me he was a bit disappointed at his own performance because he believes he could easily handle KickSands due to his smaller frame. I was scared. If KickSands can destroy MineBuster who looked as if he was twice his size, how would I get out of there alive? I locked in with KickSands and immediately took out my best weaponry, the big guns  , sort of a desperation attack: I latched on him my infamous body scissors. To my surprise, KickSands submitted. I then took back a bit more defensively, trying to see what kind of attacks KickSands would throw at me and I determined that he was executing holds that I could relatively defend against and that I had enough resistance, willpower and pain tolerance to sustain most of what KickSands was locking into me. We were puzzled, if not shocked. I can't do anything to MineBuster and MineBuster can easily destroy me within a few seconds, but KickSands can destroy MineBuster with relative ease. KickSands had trouble dealing with me, but I was able to have a relatively good control of him: a body scissor, if above the coccyx, was a guaranteed win if I don't let KickSands use any pressure points. We eventually determined that this 3-way match was more a game of rock, paper and scissors.  MineBuster beats Loserboy, Loserboy beats KickSands, KickSands beats MineBuster.... and the inverse is not necessarily true. It was pretty amusing. KickSands gave me an example how this is possible: MineBuster's thighs are large and spread the pressure on a wider area when he gives a body scissor, which gives KickSands an easier time to defend against them. My thighs are smaller, so my scissors press on a concentrated area and have a higher efficiency on KickSands. I guess this would be the equivalent of saying that pushing 2 ribs is easier than pushing 5 ribs. Later on, we've decided to even out the odds by double teaming each other. Funnily, I ended up being the traitor quite frequently. I was either helping MineBuster beat up KickSands, or I was helping KickSands beat up MineBuster. I don't think I've ever put used the arm scissor with the arm lock as much as I did in this encounter. It was pretty fun to hold an opponent down and let your tag team opponent lash out his revenge or his desire and appetite for destruction. I would classify KickSands and MineBuster both as heels, both of which seem to hold a pride and honor for their willingness to fight and their persistence to win. Being more a jobber-oriented wrestler, it doesn't really matter much for me if I win or if I lose. I will still give my best if asked to do so, but if I lose, it doesn't shatter my pride as much as these guys. I guess that made me less of a target. One thing I've noticed is that KickSands and MineBuster would still struggle and try to break free when they are being double-teamed. I give up and stay almost defenseless (if not, motionless) when I am being double-teamed. What's the point of fighting back against two people at the same time? Unless you have the strength of a hulk, it's pretty impossible and useless. It would mean spending a lot energy to avoid the inescapable and getting out of it completely spent, worn-out and incapable of fighting any further. KickSands came up with a funny remark during our match. Whenever I stopped helping MineBuster, KickSand suggested that "Your partner meter is now empty." MineBuster later had to leave for his D&D night, so I was able to get some time alone with KickSands. I took the opportunity to toy with him a bit and occasionally, letting him get a few free locks and wins because it was a very fun thing to do.  In the evening, we've both decided to attend a theater play where CanWrestle (id 9693) is the lead actor. It was called "The Boys in the Band" and this was shown at the Gladstone Theater. CanWrestle was also the a co-director of the play. I had a friend that also does community theater as well and I can see the investment: a mountain (months) of effort, rehearsal, time, sweat and dedication that all of this represents. The play was terrific and I adore CanWrestle's rendition of Michael. I was glad to attend this because I've never seen this side of CanWrestle before. On top of being a great wrestler, he's also a great actor.  I was able to recognize some of the parts of the play because CanWrestle and I rehearsed a couple of lines when he visited me back in August. I'll reiterate that I'm still very impresssed at him being able to memorize and act out so many pages and lines of text. After the play, CanWrestle spent the night at my hotel and the next morning, we've tangled lightly. Giving his exhaustion, I went very light and cooperatively took any holds he was willing to lock in. I had KickSands come in again for an encore later, but CanWrestle scooted out in fear of being KickSands' punching bag. Heheheh... I went a lot lighter with KickSands and I've noticed that he started understanding the weak points of my thighs and legs and pressed on them as much and as hard as he could. I did manage to insert a few subs of my own to annoy the hell out of him. I learned from this meet that KickSands has a mix of cubano/chinese descent. He tells me that this puzzles most people. I find it charming. It's a nice mix. Overall, perseverance, strength, sportmanship, consistency and agility are the core values of KickSands' wrestling skillsets. By sportmanship, I am referring to KickSands' consent of opponent-made rules: he never rejected my request to go back on the center of the mattress whenever I asked for it. That being said, to come back on the subject of pride, I saw KickSands and MineBuster go at it on each other on the carpet on numerous occasions during our match this week-end. I had told them that some of my wrestling comradeship have been destroyed by carpet burns, but they wouldn't listen. I guess carpet burns means nothing when you can successfully land a submission on your opponent.  As the week-end ended, I realized that, CanWrestle aside, I was older than KickSands (26, 163 lbs), ZeakMartin (26, 126 lbs) and MineBuster (26, 240 lbs). I'm 39. Gosh. These guys make me feel old. I'm gonna cry.  I dunno what it is with the 26s, it's probably sheer coincidence. Needless to say, I had an amazing week-end in Ottawa and I'll be back for sure. | ||||||

| Saturday July 6 2019 - MineBuster | Recent matches | |||||
| MineBuster (id 5188) was in town yesterday for a conference. It's been a good 2 years since we've last wrestled. We did so in November 2017 and August 2016, but I never had a chance to wrestle him alone until now. We've started with a great submission match and gradually switched to a nice long held submission holds session: I was putting him in an array of head scissors and he locked me back on a barrage of body scissors. Previously, we never had a chance to do this because being around with other wrestlers is a bit awkward. Usually, you would round-robin a sub/pro match, but it's rarer to round-robin a long held give and take session when there are more than two wrestlers involved. I had the honor this time to see him shirtless. I still didn't get to rack MineBuster, but we did part ways with a nice bearhug. MineBuster is a big powerhouse with very strong scissors, but he is also the kind-hearted gentleman that watches over you and makes sure that you aren't hurt. | ||||||

| Wednesday November 22 2017 - MineBuster and OrionsBelt | Recent matches | |||||
| I wrestled on monday both MineBuster (id 5188) and OrionsBelt (id 10939). Both are from Ottawa, but they were in town for a little bit of sightseeing and some wrestling. I wrestled MineBuster last year, but for the life of me, I could not remember his strengths. MineBuster gladly gave me a flashback by wrapping his legs around me. It all came back to me and I realized that his body scissors are very strong. Even the great Ben Monaco (id 5578) defined his legs as stronger than mine. Therefore, if you're in love with either head scissors or body scissors, then MineBuster is definitely your man. I tangled with OrionsBelt as well. He started wrestling last year and he is still a bit shy and hesitant. I tried teaching him a couple of moves, but I think only time and experience will help him shape his fierceness and confidence as a wrestler. He has a lot of potential, so I do expect him to develop great skills in the years to come. He'll just need a little bit of coaching. Both wrestlers wish to stay anonymous to some extent, so I am only posting pictures without full frontal head shots from these wrestlers. We'll start with MineBuster applying a grapevine that was pretty difficult to counter.
He later changed up his gear and was too shy to show his upper body, so he added a t-shirt, then coiled me in a triangle head scissors. Mind you, I do love guys his size, but if he's not comfortable showing more skin, I won't force him. I really wish he'd wrestle me shirtless though.
OrionsBelt gave me his version of the headscissors. Now it just looks like that I'm the jobber, but headscissors are really a great excuse to hide your opponent's face. OrionsBelt has strong legs too. With the proper technique, he can make them lethal. He is also pretty cute and thank goodness he wrestles shirtless.
This boston crab is slightly incomplete, but you get the idea. The missing element is that you need to put at least the upper part of each ankle under your armpits, but I didn't want to overcomplicate things for OrionsBelt.
All in all, I had some good fun and I hope they did too. It's nice to see them team up and do a wrestling trip to discover and learn from the community. During our meet, MineBuster told me he couldn't believe that I own a Soldier 76 mask and that I don't even play Overwatch (gawd no, my colleagues are forcing me to play this and I absolutely don't want to waste my time on it). I also came to the room with a Cyberdyne System t-shirt (yeah, very geeky, I know) and I told MineBuster I also have one for Weyland-Yutani. I did watch the Terminator series, but I've never watched the Aliens film series despite owning a Weyland shirt. Hey, I can like the logo or an object without being knowledgeable of its real source.  Interesting fact, MineBuster was happy to deliver light punches, but he won't take any. He especially told me that he's the only one that can give out the punches. Not that I mind it anyway. During the match, when OrionsBelt locked his body scissors on me, he shouted to MineBuster, blaming him for not elaborating on my resistance... or my fondness for body scissors. OrionsBelt ended up blaming MineBuster even further once I locked my own scissors on him. Heheheheheh.. Conquering the world, one wrestler at a time... with my (not so) secret weapon!  OrionsBelt was happy to let me put him in a standing torture rack and later on, in a fireman's carry, but MineBuster didn't really like the idea of having someone half your size lift you up. In any case, he told me that I racked him last year already. Obviously, I did not remember, so I quickly reached for my external hard drive, scrutinizing it for any kind of hard evidence, but I unfortunately couldn't find any record. We definitely took photos, but we never took a shot of the rack... How is that possible? It's inconceivable! I think I'm gonna cry. | ||||||

| Sunday August 14 2016 - Ottawa Week-End: MineBuster and CanWrestle | Recent matches | |||||
| I spent the day yesterday in Ottawa to meet up with CanWrestle (id 9693), whom I haven't seen since last December While I was at it, I was also able to schedule a meet with MineBuster. CanWrestle suggested that I stay at the Albert at Bay Suite hotel, which has really spacious suites to have enough space to wrestle. We were at one point all three on the mattress, trying to tackle each other. It was pretty fun. In this shot below, CanWrestle shows a bit of his MMA savoir-faire by holding me in his guard:
He's pretty tough to handle because he can be quite technical and his experience allows him to often be on top of you, such as in this picture below:
I did manage at one point to mount him though...
Truth be told, this moment didn't last long because I got distracted and CanWrestle easily used his legs to bring me down. This is actually my third time fighting against CanWrestle. We fought back in September and December 2015. Here are two shots with MineBuster: in this one, I'm the one keeping him in my guard on top of holding his arms to prevent him from escaping it. MineBuster shouldn't be underestimated though because his strength allows him to break most of these holds easily.
You can see how tall MineBuster is when he picks me up in a bearhug!
MineBuster is quite charming and so is CanWrestle. I will definitely be returning to Ottawa to challenge both these wrestlers again!  The only unpleasant thing that happened was that the hotel we stayed at had a power failure for most of my stay, but this is obviously beyond their control. I believe that rain and thunderstorm was the original cause of the outage. | ||||||
