So glad I met him. He is aggressive but so charming you almost don't want to fight back (almost). He came on very short notice and we made the best of it in an apartment. Want to meet him again in a ring or at least on mats, or anywhere really, just want to meet him again. Very masculine, handsome and earnest, Sebastian will have you wanting to lose- if you are not careful...I was careful. He taught me how to say "I submit" in Spanish by saying it to me several times ; )

Let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way. In order of descending obviousness: OliLifting lifts. He’s big and he’s strong. He wrestles aggressively and his hunger to win inspires a kind of bloodlust that takes some facing off. Frequently punctuated with a surprisingly disarming smile, I must add. With relentless gusto, at least in the first hour, he brought the fight to me and didn’t, I think, hold anything back. I am obliged to add that I had committed to bringing my all today (I’ve held back in matches in the past 6 months, with the exception of when I faced Sailor). An opponent like Oli deserves nothing less.

Less obvious than the above: Oli is much quicker than someone of his build really ought to be, and I daresay a slower-footed opponent would find Oli all over him before they knew it. Not a fate I relished sampling and so I was forced to adapt my usual stances almost immediately. I tend not to let rip the second of kickoff; I had to today. I tend not to spend more time in defence than offence; I had to today. I tend to spend more time on top than bottom; today that reversed. That said, the majority of our wrestle saw us trying for the takedown, throwdown or other advantage, only unerringly to find ourselves repelled by one another’s defences.

Oli a couple of times had me in trouble and somehow I managed to quell his advantage. I had probably 2 attempts where I’d finally got his back, but failed to execute anything meaningful. The elusive tap - switching back to the obvious once more - eluded us.

Oli is a grounded, northern gent and a good sport. Very self-aware, he mixes things up so that he always presents his best and I found getting on with him the easiest thing in the world. My thanks for arranging the venue, Oli, and for being a great host. My full recommendation.

wrestled several times and still one of my favorites...his cute shy boy smile as he tries to play rough/tough, but suffers so well. A real strong silent type that pops the excitement in all aspects! Glad we are scheduling more meetings....

Brazilwrestler is a beast of a man, but behind that confident, focussed and ruthless approach on the mats, there's a gentle giant. I didn't really stand a chance with him given the size difference and his vast experience of BJJ but hope I made him fight for the subs he got. Once he got on top, there was little I could do to move him! He was gracious enough to give me a few tips though. It's a fight I won't forget and, since we discovered we had shared interests other than wrestling, I hope we keep in touch.

Had tons of fun taking down and destroying this guy. He was a tough one, flexible and is built to withstand some punishment and keep coming back for more. Enjoyed watching the mirrors as he was both up in the air and down suffering on the mat. Look forward to owning him again.

Very nice guy + very sexy body + very mean heel + very good host = very very fun match! Don't pass on an opportunity to wrestle this hot wrestler!

This guy is the real deal. He's as strong as they come, knows a lot of subs and pro moves, and worked me over like I was much smaller than I am. Can't wait to lock up with him again and *try* to get some revenge. Highest recommendation.

This guy is strong and looks great in gear. We had just a quick match but I'm looking forward to more back and forth meetings with him. Definitely recommended.

I met Arrow today in Manchester. He very kindly made the journey to see me, and I hired out The Wrestling Factory for our match. Despite traffic and poor weather, he was there on time and ready to roll.

Our wrestle was a great workout. It became apparent that we’re both competitive and aggressive wrestlers, and that neither one had sufficient advantage to be able to take control of the match. We both came close to landing successful submissions, but by the end of a very sweaty and breathless battle, it was an obvious stalemate. We exchanged some strength tests and give/take at the end. I’d be very keen to meet Arrow again to settle the matter.

Personally, Arrow is a really nice guy to meet. He was kind enough to make the journey to Manchester, and gave a powerful and skilful display on the mats. He’s easy to talk to, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Had the privilege to get on the mats with this young fit and tough luchador. Hesitant to face me at first due to my trash talk tactics, I knew I had got in his head. He came to my hotel, and he gave me a great match. We worked up a sweat but the Destroyer was too much for the tough Mexican. Cant wait for the rematch.
