VHS 'Rasslin 2005 a retrospective by Per-Lars
vhs rasslin 2005

it all started at the pickle factory, where duncan, the doctor and big willy showed their drive, their dedication and determination, firing pickles off, left and right, up all night. it was then that we knew that the season was gonna turn out alright.

the freight train demonstrating his solid defensive skills in the
finals, winning 17-16. “i owe it all to maddy and todd, and my
impenetrable leg defense,” he declared while vacuuming the connell commons afterwards.

me, to micah, after he lost to place fifth out of seven: “micah, you
need to defend the legs better.” micah, to me: “i’m trying!”

the pizza party that night, with head/coin games and lotsa pizza and
pop and a few updoggs thrown in there as well, that the cheerleaders
traded in for pickle jars the next morning.

the doctor stealing the show on the ride home. “i have a dream,” he
proclaimed, “that all the brothas will reach the promise land.” and
later, after explaining an unfortunate incident: “this is not happening to me right now.”

wiley introduced the big shocker, his own little shocking device. what many people don’t know, however, is that wiley was able to sneak the shocker into his singlet for the whole year, shocking brothas left and right, them giving up their fight, and wiley exclaiming “that’s tight.”

b.j. told laughlin to “git ‘er done” at north mason, where we proceeded to lose to a team that the rockbusters shut out the week earlier. we had some exceptional officiating, and we wrestled great. dom had a spine shattering slam that was heard throughout the peninsula. the doctor, pacing in circles, “i’m bleeding from the face!”

at about mid-season, we moved up in the team shower rankings to 5th.
the guys knew that by the end of the year, through blood sweat and
tears, the shower title could be ours.

we moved down in the rankings when the freight train, even after
showering three times a day, mysteriously got ringworm.

e-phil brought the team together, telling the team that this title
could be ours, if we really concentrate on our showers- shampoo and
condition, and never, ever forget to clean between the toes.

stephe dislocated his finger and broke his hand while napping. we lied to everyone, telling them that he had done it reasonably, like, while taking a penetration step in practice.

someone cancelled sugar shane’s june 2007 doctor’s appointment.

e-phil gets the team off to a good start against sequim, losing by 45
and then pinning the guy. wiley saves the day, wins the last match and the dual and then he free-ran home as a cool-down.

the managers continue to amaze the state. how in the world could they keep score and pretend that they are amused by the coaches?

micah ordered fifteen side orders on the way home.

big willy pins the guy from lakeside with a father nelson, and proclaims: “i am the greatest rapper alive!”

laughlin, down by 57 at sequim, comes back to win. he explains,
afterwards, that it was all part of the plan. “i just wanted to keep
all the fans in the stands, you know?”

we have a very enjoyable night at the sequim bay lodge, with an excess amount of light, heat, and, most of all, the manager’s sobriety. the cheerleader dad challenges him to a game of rock, paper, scissors, but he declines.

larry ligrano re-rolls a re-roll. on the way back he tries, and
succeeds, in spring-rolling an egg-roll.

we move up in the state take-your shirt-off-in-public rankings, to
number three. dave and larry lead the charge, leading the state in
their respective shirt size classifications.

alex gateman wins sequim again, becoming vashon’s first two-time sequim champion. he tells me after that he wouldn’t mind winning it again next year. might as well.

steamboat becomes the world’s most flexible human, after he touched his left shoulder to his right knee while in the down position. and then, of course, the steamboat always talking about it, chest puffed.

stephe air-guitars his way into the finals at the rock. and then, after the close loss, he exclaims “i will go to state, and he won’t.”

dom, trying to upstage his brother’s horrendous napping injury, hurts
his knee while typing. we lie, telling everyone that he hurt it quite
reasonably, like, while pretending to trip during a pep assembly.

e-phil gets blown out by an orting freshman, but that was part of the
plan as well. “i want him to think that i’m really ***ty,” he confided to me with a wink, and a smile on his sweaty, bloody face. then, as according to the master plan, e-phil destroys him twice, maliciously breaking both his knees and puncturing his lung.

work out-works all the state’s heavyweights. “i will be able to
jump-rope circles around my opponents next year,” he tells me. and: “i can bike so fast on a stationary bike that i have actually gotten places, like the old portage store.”

eric anderson gets in the league finals, and finally gets to wear his
yellow singlet. he tells me, after his match, that he would have gotten in the finals more if he would have known how cool it was to wear the yellow singlets.

anderson then calls it a year, cuts his hair, and his younger brother
derek turns out for the last week.

big willy destroys amberle, and exclaims, again: “i am the greatest
rapper alive!”

freight train beats his good buddy from orting in one of the greatest
matches in the history of algebra, extending his world-famous winning
streak against farrington to one.

micah loses matchs at both league and regionals. “i’m going with
e-phil’s plan,” he told me with a mysterious and kinda scary grin, “i
want them to think that i’m really, really ***ty.” i lie to him and
tell him that i think that that's a great plan.

dom wins league and regionals. he tells me, afterwards: “i owe it all
to me. i couldn’t have done this without myself. i deserve it. oh yeah, you also hafta give some credit to my mom’s wonderful focaccia. it’s really good.”

duncan wins regionals easily. “i am half man, half mayshark!” he yells to the crowd after his final, while flexing.

alex bean dips his arch-rival from lakewood in a great come-from-behind win. “i wanted to get down by a few, and then pull the ol’ reach around on him for the win.” his plan worked to perfection.

dave dominates his second match at state. the guy was frazzled right
off the whistle, most likely because dave was warming up without his
shirt on beforehand, kissing his biceps.

steamboat demonstrates his incredible flexibility in beating a guy from tenino. he celebrates with a finger to the sky, and yells: “i am flexible!i can beat anyone! i can get out of any cage!

micah wins his first match, then his second, and then his third. they
all, apparently, thought that he was really ***ty. he got knocked out in the semi-finals, but then quickly regained consciousness. “i wanna
wrestle, i wanna wrestle,” he told the trainer, “and could i get a side order of canadian bacon?”

after their coach gave them a speech about not being satisfied with 7th and 8th, they subsequently lost three of their next four. their coach
makes a mental note: get better at giving speeches.

freight train pins his way through the consolation side. “if i knew the losers’ side would be this easy,” he told me, “then i woulda been here more often.” there’s always next year, freight train.

duncan has a fireside chat with katzer for 7th and 8th. “hello michael katzer, and the american public. i am duncan “half man half” mayshark, and i plan on winning state next year.”

we wake up sunday morning, and think about what we are gonna miss next
year: stephe’s bowling-ball-like double leg and incredible
guitar-playing on the bus, larry’s hard work and unflappable
confidence, doctor’s speeches and front-flips, and e-phil’s leadership and bloody noses.

and finally, most of all, we will all miss this year’s state showering championship, vashon’s first state title ever.
