I had a great match with Snakewrestle. Being similar in size and strength made for a hard fought battle that left us both drenched in sweat. Off the mats, he's a super nice guy we found a fair amount of common ground in conversation. Looking forward to a rematch!

I enjoyed our match. It was competitive and hot. I also enjoyed our conversation afterwards. He's an interesting guy.

As numerous others have attested, this guy is a blast. He's tough, buff, and has no problems proving who is boss through application of an arsenal of pro holds (and yes, even racks). Highly recommend and hope to meet again if ever in the same city!

How do you talk about your experience punching up your idol? He says we danced around each other for years. We did, maybe 20 years, but it was worth every second of waiting. Punchpig is the gold standard of punching. Even as you work him over, he's inspiring you to do better, hit on target, do damage. I have never met someone as into being hit and worked over as he is. We talked about trading punches, but in the end he took hard shots from me and couldn't have been happier. I look forward to learning more from him. I like to think of it as brutality with finesse.

Had the pleasure to kick this jobber’s ass twice when he visited DC a few months ago. Great jobber that knows how to take all the punishment from a dominant heel. All fun, safe, and sane on the mat and even better to hangout with off the mats. Look forward to kicking his ass again when he comes back to DC!

I've known CoachSal for a lotta years. We've been kind of circling each other - not knowing if the right time would come, only knowing that if it did it would be explosive. It did and it was. CoachSal is exactly the man you're looking for if you're ready to feel the full force of an intensely focused (and turned-on) opponent. He will respect limits but he is very strong & has this irrepressible urge to take you where you've never been, that is, just over the line, so be ready for that. A lot of us say we're ready for that, but you gotta do it to know it. He's a smart, sensitive, terrific man with a lot of life experience as well as fight experience. When we got to our one-sided punching thing (me taking, he throwing) I definitely took shots I've never taken before - let's just say he throws a memorable punch. I'll let you find out the rest. But he's a man to meet.

Rematch 14th August.
Sailor was local thanks to a work trip and reached out on the off chance I was around. That is as kind as fate was to him, however. Though we agreed less frenetic than last time (on mats) we nonetheless ended up exerting fairly hard, if the copious sweat is an indicator. As before, Sailor is a tough guy to keep under control as pound for pound he’s up there with the strongest physically. Fortunately, I can hold my own in that space, too, and I have a slightly more refined technique on account of experience. The trickiest part with Sailor as an opponent is getting him to submit - he is more resilient than most and factor on running sweat, fixing any meaningful hold becomes very difficult.

Great guy, reliable, friendly, genuine and a worthy match physically. Until next time seaman.

Round 1. Early 2018.
Sailor is a great guy: articulate, good company and easy to get on with.
One disclaimer: his photos don't do him justice (how often is that said on here!?) but it's so true. Lately I wrestled g24lsa and raved about his legs. Sailor's piece de resistance is his arms. He's lean but muscled, with great abs and impressive biceps.

I found him a challenge to overpower - he is stronger than anybody I've wrestled since Perseus the second time (Oct 2016). Goes to show photos only tell half the story. Instead I had to rely on the deficit in experience to wrangle subs out of him, trying to vary my assault to all body parts. The only major area I failed to get a sub was his legs, which were too much like hard work to handle by the time I got round to them.

His stamina is also impressive (thankfully mine did me proud today) and with a bit more tinkering, his holds will start turning into subs. Relying on strength alone to dent him won't work - you'll need some technical know-how (not that I have loads) to back it up. I was delighted when he got his first sub from me, as the eventual score and outcome were not reflective of the effort and struggle, which was much more even than the numbers paint. Great guy and of course, highly recommended.

I had heard from several friends on here how great a guy bearohio is, but our paths hadn't crossed yet. I'm glad he found me on here today when his work brought him to Columbus.
He's a strong aggressive wrestler, who brings the battle to you. We definitely had a great time, and he's welcome back on my mats anytime he comes to town.

This review is long overdue! Got the chance to wrestle Piledriverva twice while I was in town visiting. Piledriverva is a strong, skilled wrestler, who knows a lot of great wrestling holds, especially the tombstone piledriver. He executes them in a safe and sane manner. Off the mats, he’s a very friendly guy. If you ever get the chance to wrestle him, I highly recommend it!

This guy is deceptively formidable, and tough, but he knows how much intensity to bring or not bring. Plus he is, overall, a beautiful human being! He is as great to talk to as he is to grapple. I'd recommend anyone meet him, because he is extremely open-minded and will definitely make it worth your while if you decide to lock-up with him!
