Match 1
Bobby Baker vs. Paul Ritacco
Bobby Baker 5'11" 166 19yo
Paul Ritacco 5'9"` 140 18yo
Paul (black speedos) was at the Chicago Rec Room to watch Bobby (green speedos) take on Tino Bravado. Paul has been asking NHB for a match against Bobby ever since. Paul figured that he could catch Bobby with his legs. He knows his legs are very, very strong and he figured one good head scissors and Bobby would submit. Paul knows that Bobby is stronger, but it made no difference. Paul wanted the match and the win.
Paul immediately throws a front face lock on Bobby and hangs on tight as Bobby tries to power out. Paul keeps control and keeps working on the bigger guy. Even when Bobby gets behind and tries a body scissors, Paul squirms and muscles out. Eventually, Bobby gets a head lock from the rear, turns it into a cross face, and throws in the body scissors. Paul is pushed into taping and he doesn't like it at all.
From that point on, this match turns into a real brawl. Paul pulls out all the stops. He does everything he can to get the big guy on the mat, in a tight leg hold ñ looking for a submission. It's like Paul doesn't care what happens to him as long as he beats Bobby. Bobby is sure up for the challenge and loves wrestling this kid. It's a great brawl. You'll watch this match over and over and over again.
Match 2
Jon Marc Hogan vs. Jax Holland
Jon Marc Hogan 6'3" 194 18yo
Jax Holland 6' 190 19yo
Take a look at these two awesome, in shape guys. JonMarc (navy blue speedos) played Quarterback for his HS Football team. Tremendous shape, super powerful legs. Jax plays tight end for his college football team. Also tremendous shape, very muscular upper body and legs to match. Both these Texans came to NYC ready to wrestle and both wanted the win in their first NHB BATTLE match. The action is fast and continuous. There is only one short break in the first match, a vicious exchange of holds and total mat wrestling. Wicked headlocks become the trade mark of this first match. Both wrap their legs around the opponent, but never get the squeeze just right. They finally go off the mat, continue to wrestle, and JonMarc gets choked out ñ right across the wind pipe.
The second match starts with one of the best head scissors I've ever witnessed in NHB Wrestling. JonMarc is the recipient. He wrestles out of Jax's legs and then takes over the match. He pounces on Jax for all of 10 minutes until he finally gets the powerhouse to tap out.
There is no third match here ñ these guys were spent and it would not have been a pretty site. But you can be totally assured that this is not over. These two guys are not only going to finish with each other, but they are bringing their football friends to wrestle. Watch for all of them on NHB BATTLE WRESTLING.
Match 3
Enrique Tallos vs. Tino Bravado
Enrique Tallos 5'6' 136 18yo
Tino Bravado 5'7 155 19yo
Enrique (blue speedos) has been asking NHB for this match for almost a year. Tino (red speedos) is just so strong and powerful, cut and shredded, that we hesitated to set this match up. Enrique doesn't like to tap, and we were afraid he may get hurt against Tino rather than submit. He didn't get hurt, but we sure were right about him taking a beating and not submitting. Tino just kept muscling Enrique. Enrique does his share of handling Tino. He is a real good wrestler and loves a real challenge, so he gave it his all. He actually had Tino working real hard a few times to escape a tight, tough long by the smaller wrestler.
But Enrique get tossed, wrapped up, squeezed, and pounced without submitting. He is game, and he just won't quit. Enrique is turning out to be one the best NHB Wrestlers. Both Pappagio Brothers have challenges out for Enrique. But Enrique wants the bigger, stronger guys, and he expects to win. Keep watch NHB Wrestling for Enrique Tallos. As he matures and grows, he's going to be a force to recon with.
Give Enrique another year and we will rematch him with Tino. The muscle boy (Tino) may be in for a surprise.
