Stevie vs Falcon, No Holds Barred 218 (Thunders Arena)

Ideally matched in height and weight, these rookies play for keeps in this give-and-take no holds barred contest. Falcon is the newer of the two, but he takes Stevie and the mat by storm. The swirling back-and-forth action is a repetitive blur in still shots, but the bodies at ease make clear the brawlers' exhaustion and intense competitiveness. By turns, playful and vehement, the battle displays the value of pitting well matched wrestlers against each other. Let there be rematches, please. These two are born antagonists.
