Match 1: Connor Flynn vs. Chuck Rowen

Connor Flynn 6’1” 169 22yo
Chuck Rowen 5’7” 147 23yo

Chuck (blue speedos) challenged Connor (dark red speedos). Connor considers himself a tough guy, and a good wrestler. He’s a really great athlete and been practicing ju-jitsu. Chuck is one really strong, trained wrestler. We figured that this would be an awesome match-up , and we were right.

Both wrestlers are strong enough to toss each other around –and they did. Many, many reversals and it became obvious early on in the match that whoever lasted longer would come out on top. Chuck loves to wrestle from the guard position, on his back. That’s where he is the most dangerous. Connor likes being on top and staying there. Connor relies on his really strong legs and knows when he gets a tight head or body scissors, it’s all over for his opponent. Chuck is not about to let that happen.

These guys are as evenly matched as you can get, but there is a definite winner. Both has the ability to beat the other and they both know that. Lots of great holds and reversals. Lots of leg locks and tests of power. Connor gets a nasty full nelson and body scissors that has Chuck squirming to escape – he does. Chuck gets a wicked head scissors and we thought it was all over for Connor – we were wrong.

Two submissions, both by the same wrestler. One really upset loser that is demanding a rematch. These guys are great to watch on the mat.

Match 2: Jared Stone vs. Denny Webb

Jared Stone 5’7” 192 25yo
Denny Webb 6’ 166 23yo

Denny (green speedos) returns to NHB to challenge Jared (pink speedos). Denny is challenged by the weight difference and just loves to wrestle a bigger guy. Both these guys are trained wrestlers they totally love the sport – that is quite obvious in this match. They both talk trash at each other but that doesn’t hamper the wrestling at all. Really great holds, head locks, armlocks, head and body scissors, full nelsons, ankle locks, etc., from both wrestlers. This is a super match.

Denny is at his best. He is convinced he can beat the big guy but there is no way Jared is going to let that happen. Jared comes on strong and takes control only to be reversed and put in some really tough moves. Denny knows all the most intricate moves and holds and uses all his skill to keep Jared under control, but Jared is no slouch. At 5’7” and over 190 pounds, he is a really tough guy to wrestle. He has lots of power and knows how to use it. Eventually, he gets Denny in a long held head scissors, real long, and just pours on the pressure. Denny is in real trouble.

But the head scissors is also Denny’s favorite hold and he sure knows how to apply it effectively. Eventually, Jared is caught and can’t escape. Denny is very proud of himself. The last match is an all out brawl for the winner – and there is definitely a winner.

These two wrestlers are great friends and it shows all over this match. It’s great to see two good wrestlers that have a lot of respect for each other go at it, full force, till there is just one winner.
