April 22nd, 2010 was a big day for me. I went up against a woman who has been a long time challenge for me. Isamar Gutierriez had beaten me every single time I had gone up against her at academy wrestling. I wanted to make April 22nd different than any other time; I wanted to win. With out giving away any details I want to talk about my day up at academy last Thursday. It was literally the best day of wrestling that I have ever experienced. On set was myself, Isamar, Dragon Lily and of Course, Academy Bruce. The energy in the room was amazing. Each girl was confident, calm and cool. There was great respect amongst the all combatants andthe producer.. The one thing I love about going against people I’ve fought before is the nerves I get. I find that going up against someone I’ve fought is much more stressful than going up against someone I’ve never gone up against. I feel that if I’ve gone up against someone in a previous “battle” I should do well. There are no excuses. I have been against them, I know their fighting style, I know their tricks, I know what to expect…I should be prepared. If I have never “fought” someone before, I allow myself a certain amount of error since it’s all a new experience.
I have been up against both Isamar and Dragon before. I had high expectations of myself. I was extremely driven to win. Determination to win can only take one so far. Heart will keep you going till you can’t go anymore..but skill and training and what will defy how you win. A wrestler needs both heart and skill and a wrestler can not rely on just only heart or only skill. I trained hard and I was ready for my matches. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. The thing that drives me wild in a match is when I have a girl in a hold and she struggles and struggles and tries everything she can to get out of a hold then she realizes that she is trapped and she makes the sexiest sound in the world…the sound of defeat. “oh no” she sighs and her body lay limp as she realizes that struggling is futile. THAT, my friends, is what keeps me doing what I do. THAT, my friends, is my “fetish”. Why do I love it so much…because I have been there…I have been in the position where I don’t like being held down, I think I can get out and I squirm and fight and fight ans squirm and I realize..”this bitch has me and there is nothing I can do other than let them do what they want”. Ultimate physical Domination…there is NOTHING sexier than that….wait there is ONE thing sexier than that…. and that is when the role of domination switches hands back and forth for about 30 minutes and the bell determines who the truly dominate one is. After 30 minutes, the time is up and the girl who has the most “submissions” is deemed victorious while the other girl who just barely lost is deemed “the loser”…if only they had 3 more minutes….would she have won? time will tell and time did tell in their match. This is a lot like what happened in Dragon and Isamar’s match. I got to sit on the side lines and watch the two girls fight it out.
There is something about Dragon Lily. She has a certain kind of “cool” about her. I was watching her scramble with Isamar…yes they scrambled…all over the mats. They looked like two squirrels in heat tumbling all over the mats…it was the most active match I’ve ever seen live as an on looker. Dragon would be in a predicament and she would breath in “ffffffffff” and breath out ” chhhh chhh chhhh”. It almost sounded as if Jason was looking for campers on crystal lake. She kept a cool about her the entire time. I recall seeing her in a nasty guillotine and then seeing her calm face and hearing her breath and I said to myself ” wow she is so calm right now, she’ll get out of this”…did she get out?….you’ll have to watch the video. Everything Dragon did was thought out carefully. There was no flailing. There was no panic. She was methodical and precise.
Isamar did was isamaralways does. She figured out hold as she went. There is something so impressive about a woman who has never taken a class on holds or submissions but who can find a way to tap a girl out in ANY hold she can get. From the top isamar is lethal and from the bottom, isamar is still leathal. One must constantly keep their chin down, their arms and feet tucked and their hair out of the way for if any limb is left loose, isamar will attack it. Not only is Isamar smart and a natural at manipulating joints but she is also strong as a truck. Even without training on a regular basis, Isamar’s muscle tone is more evidant than most full timer trainers. She is a lean mean fighting machine who can move a train with her pinky…well maybe not with her pinky….
April 22nd was THE most excited wrestling day of my life. It felt good, it looked good and at the end of the day all the girls were gushing over each other telling each other how amazing they were and this and that. The the fights were amazing but the thing that was the most awesome was the sportsmanship and great respect each person showed to each other before, during and after the matches.
