Match 1: Donnie "Brax" Braxton vs. Chuck Rowen

Donnie “Brax” Braxton 5’11” 172 24yo
Chuck Rowen 5’7” 149 23yo

Brax (yellow speedos) is looking better than ever. He challenged Chuck (red speedos). We warned Brax that he was in for a really tough match. Brax was ready. He gets his patented head lock right off the bat and holds it for a real long time. Chuck escaped – the only NHB wrestler to escape Brax’s head lock. “I knew I was in trouble when he got out of the head lock” Brax told us after the match.

Brax works real hard to keep Chuck on his back on the mat, and he’s good at that. But Chuck is great on his back. Brax escapes a wicked arm lock more than once, but Chuck just keeps the pressure on. When Brax gets his legs around Chuck, Chuck squirms and wrestles out. Brax tries every move and hold he knows and he has great balance, so he can keep himself in great position.

But Chuck is just awesome – no other way to put it – this guy just won’t quit. He’s as strong as he can be at 150 pounds and he knows how to use his power to immobilize his opponent. Chuck has endless stamina and he loves to wear down his opponents. That’s how he got Brock Hammer and he intends to do the same to Brax.

Brax wrestles harder and better than he ever has before. He doesn’t get frustrated – he keeps his cool and keeps the pressure on Chuck. But is it enough? This is one match that you will watch over and over again. I did !

Match 2: Brock Hammer vs. Michael Hanlon

Brock Hammer 6’2” 211 20yo
Michael Hanlon 5’9” 173 21yo

Mikey (red speedos) just keeps asking to wrestle the big guys. So we put him against Brock (black speedos). Brock at 211 pounds, 6’2” and loads of wrestling experience, we knew Mikey would love this match. And he did – he was totally ready – and he wanted to win. Brock is just awesome, not only is he big and a great wrestler, but he has a mean streak that shows itself whenever he starts to lose.

The first 10 minutes is just power and strength. Brock tried to get a tap in the first minute, but Mikey withstood the onslaught and turned the tables on Brock. Brock reversed, got behind and threw in a full body scissors. Mikey immediately got an ankle lock with his legs (Max Anderson’s favorite hold). Brock was screaming in pain but wouldn’t tap. He escaped just to be caught in the same hold in less than a minute. Mikey had him good and Brock was again screaming. Again Brock got out, and choked out Mikey. (Mikey told us later that he let go cause he was afraid he was going to hurt Brock - - too bad! )

The second match is very even but Mikey keeps the upper hand. Great moves, serious wrestling and a stunning finish. This is great. You don’t want to miss this great match.

l and brawling – it’s all here.
