Match 1
Johnny Romano Vs. Jason Arhe
Johnny Romano 5í11" 170 45yo
Jayson Arhe 5í7" 172 35yo
Many of you have asked NHB for the "more-experienced" wrestlers - well, youíve got it here. Johnny (black speedos) was sent to NHB by the new NYC wrestling club -- "WINS CLUB" -- He hails from Philadelphia and comes not only with the enthusiasm of the WINS CLUB membership, but with many impressive credentials. He is a wrestling gold medalist in the 1992 Gay Games. He is a master of all wrestling moves and holds, a gut-punching specialist who really knows how to work over an opponent. He is trained to be a "winner" at all cost and proves it here.
Jayson (hot blue speedos) is no beginner either. Hailing from San Francisco, California, he is the product of many matches for other wrestling video producers and was recommended to NHB by Kyle Bradford. He too is a trained specialist in submission "sambo" wrestling. He is built like a "brick s_ _ _ house" and always wrestles to win.
These two wrestling proís start off even and determined. They use all the moves and holds that can possibly be used in a "REAL" match. There is no fake stuff here - you can see that for yourself. The verbal abuse is just an attractive side effect. Itís the wrestling that is totally awesome. NHB began to wonder if this match would ever end. Both men took a beating. So, obviously, they both dished out a lot of punishment.
It wound up being two-out-of-three, but totally lop-sided. Youíll have to see the match to understand what we mean. Both these "experienced" men are a credit to all of us who have been wrestling for a lot of years (NHB included). They show us how "good" it really is. ENJOY THIS ONE!
Match 2
Swage vs. Erick Richards
Swage 5í9" 157 24yo
Erick Richards 5í7" 134 35yo
Erick (white speedos) requested NHB for a match with Swage (gray speedos). When he found out the match was on - "youíve really got a challenge for me" was his memorable comment. But Erick was sure up for this match. When Swage heard of this smaller, older guy who wanted to take him on, he was psyched. Swage had seen Erickís match with Jace Davis, one of Swageís best friends, and he wanted a "piece" of Erick.
Erick knew he has his work cut out for him and the first match was monumental. Swage actually got the shock of his life when the "small, older" guy wrapped him up and made him submit. Swage got right up and went at it again, and Erick didnít last long against the totally intense Swage.
The third match is outstanding. There were truly "no holds barred". Swage wound up with blood on his face and Erickís eye was swollen and bloody. No punching, still respectable NHB wrestling, but all-out. The outcome will be left to the viewer. Whatís even more remarkable is that both these guys wanted to keep going, and they did.
Swage learned a lot about wrestling that he didnít know from the experienced Erick. Now Swage thinks he is ready for the bigger, muscle boys. Weíll see.
Match 3
Darrin Hoffson vs. Patrick Donovan
Darrin Hoffson 6í5" 187 31yo
Patrick Donovan 6í1" 165 27yo
Darrin (light blue speedos) recently moved to NYC from Germany. He is definitely the Alex Wright of NHB Battles. Youíll love his accent. He asked to take on the hot, tight, experienced Patrick (dark blue speedos). Patrick never turns down a match, as we saw in Rec Room Battles VI, but he sure was nervous about this one. "If he uses those long legs, Iím dead" observed Patrick when he met Darrin. Well, Darrin did, but Patrick held his own and fought like a trooper. Patrick was out to prove that this "big" guy could be taken down. NHB warned Patrick that real tall guys are the toughest to wrestle because of their length and balance, so Patrick was ready.
Darrin used an awesome headlock to totally control Patrick. He tried to work in the submission arm bar numerous times (and even worked into the sleeper hold), but Patrick just refused to submit. Using his own version of the sleeper and body scissors, Patrick shocked Darrin into submission. Of course, that wasnít all.
These guys wrestled and wrestled, and then wrestled some more. Even when NHB said it was enough, Darrin wanted to keep going, and Patrick was most obliging. Patrick had fun in this match, and Darrin wrote to NHB the next day "great match and thanks for letting me wrestle Patrick - just wish he gave up more easily".
Match 4
Marcelo Mattar vs. Nick Fabrizio
Marcelo Mattar 5í11" 230 31yo
Nick Fabrizio 5í7" 190 31yo
Itís extremely rare to find an avid bodybuilder who is also a "real" wrestler. NHB is showing you the best of both in this match. Nick (yellow speedos), a native New Yorker, is a former cover model and escort, and a present body builder and all around nice guy. Marcelo (blue speedos), originally from Brazil now living in NYC, is still a cover model, escort, and body builder. When you look at these guys there can be no doubt about the massive weights that both must be used to. They asked NHB is they could wear shorts in the match, but NHB suggested they wear speedos underneath. AS ALWAYS, NHB was correct. It wasnít long before the shorts were ripped off.
These two power-houses were out to have some fun. They started by throwing each other around, playing, laughing, and just having a good time. That didnít last too long. Just about the time the shorts got pulled off, the smiles went away. The match turned real serious. One can only imagine the power used in this match. Each was able to throw the other all over the mat, and did. Marcelo's huge pythons (legs and arms) really had Nick squeezed a few times. Nickís vascular body was being stretched and strained and the camera caught every second of it.
Fists were aimed at the abs of both, but to no avail. Too much muscle there. At one point, Marcelo tried a series of head butts out of frustration, but Nick took it like a trooper and gave back plenty more of his own.
At the end of the match, both "muscle-hunks" just lay still on the mat. Then Marcelo started to show off (and man has he got a lot to show off ). Nick lay still taking it all in until he jumped up and tried getting a full nelson on Marcelo. No way! Marceloís pecs are humongous . He just turned Nick around and put him in a full bear hug - totally awesome sight.
You like muscle-hunks who really know how to wrestle, bodybuilders with great stamina, a fight to submission - - itís all here.
