Scout told his dad a few days back that he didn’t like that they hadn’t wrestled in a while.  Little did he know that it was a bit of a conscience effort on our part because his playing with kids his own age had become a little too aggressive.  So in an attempt to calm him down, we sidelined the wrestling.  But when he seemed so bummed out about not partaking in his favorite past time, we relented and gave in.  We made a date — the next night — to have the ultimate wrestling showdown.  I let him pick any name he wanted, and he came up with “Battle Destroyer” all himself.  Then the next day, he came up with an outfit, and I gave him a little face paint to add to the drama.  He was so excited for the match, and knew his dad would be SCARED!
Knowing what was going on upstairs, Micah got into an outfit of his own, and started taunting Battle Destroyer as he came up the stairs.  Scout was beside himself with excitement.  And when “Malcho Man” showed up, Battle Destroyer came out swinging!

There were some really crazy moves during the match. Especially when MM needed his Malcho power and started doing some sort of crazy rant.  Upon seeing it, Battle Destroyer needed his own power, and started doing a crazy dance.  Icka got in on the action, but in a jump from the “top ropes” (top of the couch) to the ground, she sustained an injury to her left foot.

The good news is that Malcho Man was taken down in about the eighth round, and Battle Destroyer claimed his victory.

Poor little Icka ran over to Uncle RyRy as she nursed her foot.  Poor thing is tough — and the fact that she sidelined herself must have meant that she got hurt pretty good.  And I learned all throughout the night as I was up with her moaning and crying, that she really did hurt her little foot.  But I’ll admit that her limp today is kind of cute.
It was a good battle.
I am glad to see the little guy beat the big (and very skimpily dressed) big guy.
Congrats goes out to you Battle Destroyer!
