RELEASE DATE: 6/15/2015
Two very evenly matched grapplers go the full distance – two out of three falls. The reversals are many. Just when you think one wrestler has the other in control, the other wrestler reverses with a hold or a move that you think comes out of nowhere. Lots of body slams, flying dropkicks, jumps off top rope, elbow smashes, monkey flips, suplexes. This bout ends up in a thid fall figure four that ends up being a real battle to see who will submit first. Lots of action. Great looking wrestlers.
BOUT 2: CRAIG CHANCE VS. JOHN BORSOS
Craig takes to the ring with almost puppy-dog enthusiasm, egged on by the attending crowd. He’s up against a very tough competitor in John Borsos who can both give extreme punishment and pass it out as well. But he underestimates Chance who has boundless energy and a streetwise instinct on how to handle himself. He does give Borsos many opportunities to start from a fair position, but although John does win a fall he fails in his attempt to win the match. A series of bearhugs and an over the shoulder backbreaker, twice, takes care of Borsos in the 3rd fall.
BOUT 3: RANDY PAGE VS. TONY DAVIS
Randy Page is one of the best freestyle wrestlers ever. Tony does his best to keep up with him, but as you will see it is a futile attempt. Randy loves maneuvering his opponent into a position whereby he can put his crotch right in his opponent’s face and rub. Or Randy will put his opponent’s head in a vise-like scissors. Either way, the opponent usually submits. The crotch in face technique is very humiliating to say the least.
BOUT 4: TOMMY LOPEZ VS. JOHN JAY
This is a very good two out of three falls freestyle wrestling matchup (with a hint of pro) between two knowledgeable wrestlers before a crowd in the Arena. You will see some unique holds, lots of give and take, and two stunning visuals. Tommy Lopez is noted for his extreme flexibility. He can be bent every which way and still not submit.
BOUT 5: BUCK GIBSON VS. GEORGE ATLAS
Two bodybuilders battle it out, Pro Style, in the Arena ring. Featuring good give and take, these MuscleMen produce a very entertaining pro style matchup which includes a wonderful wedgie, ring rope action, body slams, good wrestling holds, and muscle flexing on Atlas’s part.
