Luiz Campos and Tasneem Sarjoo (pictured above)
Screenwriter and administrative assistant, East Village and Rockville Centre
How did you get paired to wrestle each other?
Luiz: I actually saw Taz in the corner, and I thought she just looked really pretty and her outfit was fun. She kind of looked like Wonder Woman. I just went up to her and then started talking and asked her to wrestle.
Tasneem: I thought he had nice hair. He had a decent enough fit on.
Who won?
Tasneem: Luiz has been saying that I won, but I think he beat me.
Luiz: It was a draw.
Tasneem: It was a draw.
Luiz: Yeah, no one pinned anybody.
Do you think youâll see each other again?
Tasneem: Weâre planning to get dinner next week!

August Pointer Mace and Roman Bickson
Theatrical costumer and student, Poughkeepsie and Fordham
Whatâs it like wrestling a stranger?
Roman: I played tackle football for eight years, and I go to the gym a lot. So I was a little worried I might appear scary. But I appreciated having Gus as my partner because they had experience being thrown and throwing other people.
August: I play rugby at my college, and I dance. I guess Iâve got a baseline flexibility and physicality that made me think I wouldnât get injured.
