  1. A little friction at the end there with Steven pushing Johnny's face to mat a few time in an attempt to control him a bit over done looking from here

  2. Wow–I think there needs to be hair length rule. I'd hate to wrestle against the dude with that mop in my face!

  3. Amazing camera work! Your videos are absolutely great! I feel Red lacks a bit of sportsmanship.

  4. If you gotta wrestle Marvin, grab a handful of nuts or hair and don’t let go.

  5. yeah there's a reason hair ties were invented also the famous mullet. Red must've got boink in the eye ouch too much hair in the way. Videos are good.

  6. There is a lot to unpack here. Hair length, Is there a rule? I remembered a incident where a referee got in trouble for making a wrestler cut his dread locks off to the side of the mat. If green was choking and tapping out why did the referee ignore it until he started to hit red in the face? This video was really good by the way lots to learn from it and I heard the referee clearly so I understood what was going on.

  7. Oh. Oh.. please cut off that stringy hair dude.. Looked like granny clampett fighting off the indians. And I saw that green tapped out but the ref ignored it. what a hot mess this was.

  8. Thanks! For being informative and clarifying as usual. Thanks for taking in the time out of your busy schedule to do so.

  9. Seems to be some sportsmanship issues in this match, mostly coming from red. However, I do think green was playing up the choke hold a bit. My thoughts on the hair… I don't see a problem with long hair, but it is clearly interfering with the match. Ref, at 6:45, seems to be saying "Are you ready to proceed?" Plenty of long-haired wrestlers out there who wear knots, braids, buns or ponytails to keep it out of their way.

  10. Steven needs to check his attitude, tie his hair up and learn what sportsmanship is.
