WR's Screencaps

I haven't been overly inspired lately, so I decided to look up a match that I haven't blogged too much about. In this match, Gunner Bayani gets off to a fast start, delivering a series of blows that leave Nick dazed. Nick Collins vs Gunner Bayani (RHW, Catalog 8) You'd think by looking at the photos that Nick is down for the count, but a missed kneedrop gives Nick an opening to spring into action. You can find the video here - https://rockhardwrestling.com/collections/catalog-8/products/804

Indy pro Gunner Bayani stomps Nick Collins numerous times throughout this match. Gunner has a cocky swagger that sets him apart from most of the RHW roster. Nick Collins vs Gunner Bayani (RHW, Catalog 8) See my original review here.

  If you watch this match between Nick and Gunner, a couple things will become obvious pretty quickly. Gunner clearly knows his pro wrestling and Nick has amateur wrestling and MMA skills. They meshed reasonably well. After making some changes to their website in 2020 / early 2021, Rock Hard Wrestling has been inactive. Here's hoping they'll continue upgrading their old videos. See my original review here.

Slash Morgan vs Dr. Maniacal: Hero Hunks (W4H) Gunner Bayani vs Nick Collins (RHW) Once More: Kyle vs Greg with Jay (UC) Dash Decker vs Blake Starr & Drew Harper (88W) Dr. Smith: "Adam's a cool guy, we should get him back at some point." "Tell him to come back and get his gut punched. (Jonathan chuckles)" My song of the week is Streets of Philadelphia performed by Bruce Springsteen. The song is taken from the movie Philadelphia, one of the first mainstream films to address AIDS. Both Springsteen and Tom Hanks won Oscars for their work.  Tom Hanks as Andrew Beckett in Philadelphia I wasn't satisfied with the official version on YouTube so I decided to re-edit it myself. Compare them and hear the difference. Since this video would likely get blocked on YouTube, it will be a WR's Screencaps exclusive.

 Lean, lanky boys do battle in this video from Rock Hard Wrestling. The boys circle each other as the video opens. Gunner tries to engage in some back and forth trash talk but Nick doesn't have much to say.  Gunner quickly doubles over Nick with a knee to the gut and dominates the early minutes. Gunner shows a bit of cocky swagger, delivering kicks in a style similar to The Rock. Gunner shows he's an experienced Indy pro, delivering a high elevation knee drop. Gunner goes to the well once too often and Nick takes over. A knee bar has Gunner crying out in pain. Nick shows off some amateur skills, pinning Gunner. Nick works over Gunner's arms. Gunner responds with some arm torture of his own. For me, the highlight of the match is long held armbar/chinlock applied to Nick. The final fall takes several twists and turns, the winner isn't apparent until the very end. Which lanky boy reigns supreme, Gunner or Nick?
