Nous avons pu nous rencontrer en Correze avec FBlake19 pour un combat. J'avais acheté une grande bâche en plastic pour un combat huilé. L'exercice etait plus compliqué pour nous car il est difficile de trouver prise et FBliake19 est un sportif endurant de haut niveau. Nous avons bien sué et bien combatu mutuellement. A refaire.

TOWrestler85 is a solid fighter, physically and in terms of skills. I had the chance to meet him during a group fight during the Winter Rumble in Toronto, where we did a bit of 1:1 grappling and then a fun battle royale with two other fighters where we all wrestled at the same time. It was fun!

On the mats, this fighter is very strong and looks great in his gear. In addition, he is a very pleasant individual and the kind of wrestler that makes you feel comfortable through his demeanour and his sincere smile, yet he can challenge you with his strength and grappling abilities. Obviously, TOWrestler85 doesn’t need more positive recos. He already has lots!, but he also has my sincere recommendation and hope to meet him again for many more matches in Toronto.

Had the opportunity to fight Lee one on one then part of a group battle. He’s very easy to plan with before and also genuine.

He is definitely strong and knows how to use his body to take advantage. For the group portion, we gave him an initiation which I think he enjoyed :p.

I recommend this guy for a match to anyone coming to Toronto

Had an amazing match with RNC23! Don’t be fooled—he’s way stronger than he looks. His legs are lethal, and he’s incredibly fast and skilled. I’m grateful he managed to squeeze in our match at the last minute. If you ever get the chance, you have to meet up with him. Super friendly and just an awesome guy.

The Wrestler:

Rebelwrest is a strong technical wrestler that despite having a size and weight advantage on me, was very careful throughout our match to ensure that we had a safe roll. Rebelwrest is also a great teacher: He showed me a few moves and let me practice on him. He made me sweat profusely trying to overcome his strength as he put me in tough holds to escape. I could tell that he was measuring his strength and adjusting his skills to mine, which I am grateful for because we had a good flow without me feeling squashed but rather motivated to keep going. He was a very nice host who had a fantastic mat set-up in his hotel room that he drove across the border. On top of this, he has many facets as an individual off the mats, and you will have fun discovering them through his amicable conversation. He has my full recommendation.

The Match:

I had a déjà vu moment wrestling with Rebelwrest because 40 mins after we started our match, the fire alarm in his hotel went off. This happened to me during the summer WrestleFest in the same hotel in Toronto. Was this another “saved by the bell moment?” (Read my reco for MKEWrestlebear). Maybe, but before we got to that point, I had an amazing sweaty workout fending off Rebel’s attacks and learning some BJJ moves from this experienced fighter. Given the fire alarm, we didn’t get to do pro style wrestling, which I wanted to try with Rebel, but this means that we will have to meet again!

Finally had our long awaited match & it lived up to the expectations. Gambit was cool on & off the mats. The talking did match the skill. It was a great vibe & a fun match to have.

Another one will definitely be in the works soon.

Ohhh.... Finalmente dopo tanto tempo sono riuscito ad incontrare "lotta t" approfittando di una sua vacanza dalle mie parti. Che dire... Avversario con un fisico imponente come si evince dalle sue statistiche. Molto forte di braccia (mi ha battuto a braccio di ferro) ma nella lotta sono riuscito ad avere la meglio.... Comunque molta resistenza da parte sua. Persona cordiale e simpatica.... E di compagnia, come ho potuto constatare nella cena Post match. Consigliatissimo per chi cerca un match tranquillo e divertente con una persona a modo! Speriamo di incontrarci ancora.

Had a great time with this young Wrestler, he is sexy and fun, and with time, he will learn more and get stronger.
He is a great person to talk to, and I would highly recommend him!

The rolling with LuchadorChinito was only part of the experience because the conversations before, during, and after our match were just as memorable. Very early on, it became clear that we share some similar doubts, questions and insecurities. The interesting part was discovering how differently we handle them: he approaches things with emotion, while I tend to rely more on analysis. That contrast made our conversations surprisingly enriching.

As a host he was fantastic: he showed me around Bologna, took me to great restaurants and somehow made sure I never had to worry about a single practical detail. And for the record: if I’m really “Tintin”, as he wrote in his own recommendation… then he did a very good job proving he’s not the kind of villain I can defeat in one chapter

On the mats his passion shows in everything he does. He loves exploring different styles, switching pace, trying techniques and we ended up doing quite a few rounds. His weight is probably his biggest disadvantage in grappling, but he compensates with creativity, determination, and a constant awareness of how his opponent feels and reacts. He’s fun to roll with, attentive, and unique in the way he approaches this.

Meeting him was enjoyable and meaningful. After spending time with him (talking, walking and rolling), it became clear to me that the parts he doubts most about himself are often the things that make him unique. I hope he’ll one day be able to see himself with the same appreciation I had for him during our time together.

Combattente forte ma attento a rispettare i limiti dell'avversario. Abbiamo avuto un piacevole incontro di lotta dove nonostante i miei sforzi alla fine ho dovuto arrendermi alle sue prese.
Le sue scirros ti lasciano senza fiato e alla fine devi cedere. Persona simpaticissima e te ne accorgi appena lo vedi. Consigliatissimo
