All Night Long

Joey McCoy vs Quin Quire, Catalog 12 - The Muscle Boys Get Nasty (MuscleBoy Wrestling)

Joey tells Quin, "I'm going to move around you all night long," stretching the last three words to fill five seconds. He makes a determined effort to bring his heavier adversary down fast, whipping behind him and grabbing him around the waist. Quin breaks loose and reverses the hold. Joey thrashes and thrusts, caught in a tight grip, at last escaping and succeeding at getting Quin down on the mat, though not as quickly or as smoothly as he had hoped.

The two guys are equals, though they may not immediately appear to be. Both are slim but strong. Both like to win and know ways of getting what they like. The opening skirmish is messy, and once he's got Quin down, half-pint Joey finds it hard to keep a hold on him. Soon, Quin is straddling the littler wrestler's waist and aiming closed-fist jabs at Joey's solar plexus. Then he rolls over on to his back, carrying Joey along with him, stretching and elevating McCoy's body about a foot above his own.

Joey breaks loose with a breathtaking show of strength, impressing even Quin. They lock up, shoving and grunting, till McCoy drops Quire to the mat in an excruciating arm lock. Quin rolls out of the lock, and the two again square off. Joey snaps Quin into a side headlock. Quin tries to break free by dropping Joey to the mat, but Joey's grip is as tight as a tick's, and the little guy keeps the hold fast as the two bodies writhe and pivot. "All right, I got you right where I want you," Joey boasts, prematurely.

Joey maintains the hold for forty seconds. Then Quin punches his way loose. Neither man maintains a long-lasting advantage until the very end, their bodies tumbling and swirling in the MBW fight space like shirts in a clothes dryer. The recurring moves are a shortlist of my guilty pleasures:  side headlocks, arm bars, hair pulling, and against-the-wall pummeling. The decisive finisher happens in the video's last minute - the victor bulldogging his impossible-to-submit opponent, then tidying it all up by locking legs and pinning the guy's shoulders while arching over him for a sexy three-count.
