There are wrestlers who have such a captivating presence that watching them stretch alone is a pleasure. While seeing them take on opponents is thrilling, observing their preparations and stretching routines holds its own unique appeal. Tanner Ripley and Scrappy are two such wrestlers. The camera silently captures their bodies as they stretch, gradually panning up and down, capturing the incredible imagery of each wrestler getting ready for battle. When the time comes, a brief handshake marks the start of the match. It’s No Holds Barred (NHB) wrestling in its purest form, where the winner is determined by the number of submissions obtained within a set time limit.

Tanner claims the advantage in height, but Scrappy earns the nod for power. Scrappy’s experience in the underground wrestling world, particularly in NHB contests, sets him apart. The banter, snarky remarks, and humiliation are gone, replaced by a focused business mindset, as it should be. While Tanner secures the first submission, Scrappy quickly evens the score. They continue exchanging falls back and forth, maintaining a clear parity between them. As the time limit approaches and the score remains tied, the question lingers: can either Scrappy or Tanner secure the final submission before time runs out?

Indeed, one wrestler does. A definitive winner emerges from this outstanding bout between two wrestlers who possess incredible physiques and a clear respect for their opponent. If you’re a fan of old-fashioned wrestling, where two sweaty men grapple on the mats, searching and probing for any weakness in their adversary, ready to seize the winning hold, then this match is tailor-made for you. It has been some time since we witnessed such evenly matched grapplers face off, and one can only hope to see this dynamic pair engage in battle on the mats again very, very soon.

TOTAL RUN-TIME: 25 minutes and 07 seconds.
