Match 1: Dillon Walsh vs. Reggie Banks
Dillon Walsh 5’11” 188 21yo
Reggie Banks 5’9” 203 18yo
Reggie (yellow speedos) is much more prepared and ready to start winning. He promised NHB that he would never lose a match again. We’ll see about that. He watched a couple matches on the NHB BATTLE website and immediately asked to wrestle Dillon (blue speedos). Reggie was impressed with the 22 inch biceps on Dillon and his huge chest. “I’m going to be bigger than that” he told NHB. At 18, he’s well on his way.
So we put them on the mat against each other – and it’s all muscle. Dillon just turned 21, two days before this match, so he was looking forward to a night out in NYC. He wasn’t concentrating on wrestling Reggie. But Reggie changed his focus real quick. When Reggie put the first head lock on Dillon, got behind and threw on a body scissors, Dillon was paying attention. Reggie picks Dillon up in a face-to-face bearhug – awesome. Didn’t’ last too long, they fell to the mat and Dillon escaped, but the try was very impressive. These guys are big, strong and aggressive.
Both wrestlers know how to apply a hold and get a submission. This match is totally great – watch them both use their muscle on each other. You’ll watch this match over and over again – I have !
Match 2: Brock Hammer vs. Mike Cappio
Brock Hammer 6’2” 189 19yo
Mike Cappio 5’11” 213 20yo
Mike (black speedos) is Jason Guarino’s best friend and football teammate. When Mike saw the beating that Jason took from Brock (rust speedos), Mike wanted a shot at Brock. Mike wrestled all four years in HS at 215 lbs. and had quite an impressive record – only 2 losses. He wanted this submission match and he promised Jason that he would “beat Brock bad”. Brock readily agreed to the match.
Brock took one look at Mike’s huge legs and told NHB “I’m staying away from them”. But Mike had different ideas. This is one totally awesome wrestling match. These two skilled wrestlers are not about to tap out. It’s a wide use of all moves and holds and some we’ve never seen before at NHB. Both guys are way skilled and willing to do whatever it takes to make the other guy tap out.
It’s back and forth over and over again. Brock puts two nasty headlocks on Mike early in the match and keeps asking him to tap. Mike just rolls and powers out. Mike puts an ankle lock on Brock that has him screaming, but he too will not tap. Mike gets a body scissors along with the ankle lock and Brock is in real trouble, but he is one of the toughest wrestlers we’ve ever met at NHB and he knows his moves. He wrestles out and goes for a full nelson.
They end in a draw after a full 30 minutes of wrestling with a promise, as you’ll see at the end, of a major rematch. They have both promised that the next match will be a definite winner, no matter how long it takes.
