Tag semi finals

I did my hardest match  so far this year for Ultimate Surrender on Friday. My toughest opponent of the year, Dia Zerva and boy oh boy and I sore now.  The thing about amatuer wrestling is I wrestle amateurs. Some of the girls I end up rolling with have never wrestled a day in their lives. It’s crazy talk. I destroy them. So Friday I got to wrestle a girl who’s pretty darn good. As a matter of fact, she won me last year in the semi finals for Summer Vengence. So last Friday we went tits to tits in the 2009 Summer Vengence Semi finals. The difference this time was that I wasn’ t nervous. I was going to have fun, I was going to enjoy myself and I was going to win. I had no doubt in my mind that I was going to win. I could feel my mind of matter working for me durning the match. My opponent is strong, very strong, her head locks are brutal and her side control is almost impermeable. She to has a very strong mind over matter sense about her, however Friday just wasn’t her day. I sensed she was nervous and had not desire to be there. I respect her greatly and in real life, outside of work, I consider her to be a great friend. Neither of us really wanted to have to compete with each other, but that part of the sport. C’est la vie.

So We start the match and she come out super strong, as I knew she would. My plan was to just be faster than her. I didn’t think I would be able to out muscle her so I knew I would have to use skills to control her. And Control her I did. I would get her in holds and she would grunt out of discomfort and frustration. The grunts were intimidating at first. I thought maybe I was hurting her so I would whisper ” are you okay”. Afterall, we are there to wrestling, not to paralize each other. When she would tell me she was okay I would keep pressing and pressing. I found positions that worked great for controlling her and I capitalized on that. I was very proud of myself. The match was close. It will be released on Thursday so I will post pictures from it once it is up on US
