When the dust settled on that beautiful spring morning in lovely Middleburg Heights, Ohio there would be two titans of grappling left standing. James Neeley representing the whole of the keystone state upon his shoulders, facing off against what may be a literal giant, Tackle Jiujitsu’s Kyle Vlcek. Both men having left a trail of beaten opponents and $5 Sheetz giftcards in their respective wakes just to get to this point, surely their families are all very proud of the warriors that they helped raise.
It would be Kyle who would free himself from the bondage of the seatbelt first, as he rockets himself towards the near-side shoulder, and seatbelt of James Neeley. However, James responds quickly and effectively by getting squared up to Kyle, with his back framing against the roof of the Durango.


Neeley, using his taint to brace against the steering wheel to gain some leverage, and help in pivoting himself around Kyle, manages to swing into the passenger seat, leaving the big man a bit flabbergasted on the center console. Neeley would look to get in on the near-side leg of Vlcek, and Kyle would respond with an overhook of his own.
At one point, Kyle would look for a short of tea-cup choke, but James would not let him hang there for long, removing the threat of the choke, but Kyle manages to remain on top. Neeley opts to try the low-road, the results were dubious, but Neeley does manage to march the big man backwards, at one point threatening expulsion, but Kyle cuts the angle, and the play shifts, but only for a moment, as James Neeley once again presses Kyle toward the already open door.

James Neeley, with seatbelt in-hand would now loom heavy over the partially expelled body of Kyle. Sliding the seatbelt home, he would eventually get the tap, the victory, and (yet another) $5 Sheetz giftcard (sponsored by Prograppler.com).
