MATCH 1
Paul Ritacco Vs. Lenny O'Toole
Paul Ritacco 5'10" 154 18yo
Lenny O'Toole 5'10" 164 18yo
Paul (Black speedos) has been bulking up since his loss to Bobby Baker. He put on more than fifteen pounds of muscle and has been wrestling around with his friends often. Lenny (black-red speedos) is one of those friends that has been asking for an NHB match against Paul. These two teens are bound and determined not to lose to each other. IT's a hot, humid night in Chicago when these two teens decide to do battle.
Lenny tries to throw Paul around the mat, but Paul will have none of that. Paul has those incredible legs and Lenny knows enough to stay away from them. The heat and humidity makes for a really sweaty match. Finally, Paul gets behind Lenny, cross-faces him and body scissors him into submission. The second match is just as tough - lots of equal exchanges, great leg locks from both wrestlers. Finally, Lenny cross faces and body scissors Paul and he is done. Amazing - Paul taped.
The third fall is wicked. Both guys do not want to lose. It goes on and on and no one will give up. We were actually thinking of a draw on this really hot night, when the speed got faster, the holds tougher, the wrestling more intense and finally, a tap out. Very excellent match. You'll love these two teenage friends tearing each other apart.
MATCH 2
Damon Mandrake Vs. Paul Aristede
Damon Mandrake 5'11" 159 21yo
Paul Aristede 6'3" 170 19yo
NHB BATTLE goes to South Africa to get these well conditioned wrestled to show us some real submission brawling. Damon (red speedos) and Paul (black and blue speedos) are both practiced and accomplished wrestlers - as you will see for yourself. Damon is not intimidated at all by the four inches that Paul has on him. Both these guys are trained to use their legs to gain a submission, so you'll see lots of leg action in this match. Damon get control right off the bat and begins working some awesome moves on Paul. Paul is no "wuss" and shows that he can take what Damon has to give. Paul gets tossed pretty good in the first few minutes, but manages to reverse the moves and get control on Damon.
At one point, Damon slams Paul to the mat face first, criss crosses his legs immobilizing both of Paul's arms and executes a submission chin lock. These long, lanky wrestlers can do all that, distinguishing their sleek muscularity. Both wrestlers are experts with the head scissors and can usually work a combination at the same time. It's just a matter of who can take the most - who will tap out first. Incredibly, Damon has no problem handling the very long, extremely strong legs on Paul. Paul results in a violent ankle lock to get Damon to tap. Unbelievably, Paul is locked in a head scissors, and Damon taps from the ankle lock.
We have contracted to see many more of these South African wrestlers. The wrestlers are psyched and are looking forward to coming to the USA to wrestle some of the NHB guys. Who knows, it just may happen.
MATCH 3
Max Anderson Vs.Jax Holland
Max Anderson 5'11" 181 20yo
Jax Holland 6' 194 19yo
The Rematch ! Jax is ready. He came to NYC just to wrestle a rematch with Max. He's been wrestling with his football buddy, Bryan Hollister, just to be able to handle Max. His endurance is at it's peak. He is in the best shape of his life and he will do anything he needs to do to beat Max. A number of the NHB wrestlers came to the studio this Sunday afternoon to watch this match. Both these guys are ready.
When Max gets choked out and taps, Jax is full of apologies telling Max that he didn't mean to choke him and all that bull. The fact is that Jax would do it again if he gets the chance and Max knew that. Max just gets more intense and much more quick with his moves and holds. Max has a real hard time overpowering Jax - Jax is just too strong - so Max tries using more speed and skill. He really tosses Jax for a while and Jax can't handle that. Max really shows his ability, but Jax show his power when he shoves and pushes his way out of most every tight lock. This is some awesome wrestling.
Both guys tap out and both guys win, but there is still a definite winner. This is not over. Both these wrestlers want to settle this feud. Problem is that both are so strong, same attitude, good skills and won't quit that these matches could go on evenly for years. Who cares? NHB will keep taping them as long as they keep wrestling. NHB can't get enough of these two power boys.
