Tough It Out

Stephon Michaels vs Charlie Epps (Movimus Wrestling)

Two ruggedly handsome wrestlers, both superbly muscled, highly competitive, vigorous, face off in the latest match from Movimus, and it is a stunner. Stephon, the new guy (in green), 6'1", 191#, gives Charlie, 6', 207# (in navy and white), the fight of his life, with both men tied seven minutes before the squeaker of an ending - one of the most satisfying give and take (and grunt and groan) confrontations I have seen in a long time. Charlie and Stephon grow plenty of respect for each other over the 25-minute video, and I, for one, want a rematch.

This is Charlie's third match for Movimus. In April, he impressed me with his instincts for causing Julius Parker a great deal of pain and frustration in a fight that demands another five or six viewings, I think, especially in light of the intensity generated in this battle. Charlie and Stephon stay gloriously entangled in each other's limbs for a good (no, great) 90 percent of the match. It's a struggle that's all muscle and willpower; at various points the two wrestlers pull through "nasty chokes" (Movimus's words) that would have decided most other contests. It's the kind of showdown that brings the word epic  to mind. I love to watch big, solidly built athletes grapple - especially if, like these two, they are 100 percent there  for it. Kudos to Michaels, Epps, and Movimus!
