| Movimus Wrestling: Jimmy Reilly vs. Aron Stokes |
Beefier, wild-haired Jimmy Reilly (5'10, 190) takes on clean-cut, lean and focused Aron Stokes (6', 164).
One of my favorite things about Movimus Wrestling? No crowd. No audience. I know a lot of people like the element of excitement that a crowd can bring, and wrestlers can feed off the energy of a good audience. But just as likely, a bored crowd, a restless crowd, a fickle crowd can suck the air out of the room. Without the crowd, what you're left with are the wrestlers themselves: The match itself can be everything, with no distractions, no checking how they're doing from a third party. Take this match. Jimmy and Aron are given the opportunity to really focus on winning this match, hold by hold, transition by transition, and boy, do they take advantage of the chance! Each wrestler takes this match dead seriously--you'd think it was the most important match of both of their lives. And for the moment, for the duration of the match, this one match IS the most important. And without a crowd, you're put into that intense moment: The sounds you hear are Jimmy and Aron, the camera keeps you with the action, so you never miss a thing that happens. Which is lucky, because a lot goes on. Momentum swings back and forth like a distressed wrecking ball trying to shake off a fabricated pop star. (Sorry, that joke was SO 2013.) If you look away from this match and then look back, chances are the tables will have turned.
Seriously, this match. This is definitely NOT a clean sweep. There's certainly no shame in losing here, and the winner definitely has to work for it!
