My aches have aches, my bruises have bruises!
Well, had my first pro style bout ever and my first bout for at least 25 years with Brit Pro Heel at Grove Park. At the moment I am extremely knackered, aching and bruised but you know what, I loved it. Met up with BPH at the station and made our way to Grove Park where a full sized wrestling ring awaited us, this seriously was a dream come true for me, one I've had since a kid watching WOS. BPH went through ring etiquette with me, how to work the ropes and the ring and then pretty much got stuck in with showing me some holds.
I was quite chuffed that BPH thought I was a lot better than he had been expecting which was good to hear as I had been as nervous as hell! We wrestled for a good couple of hours, I like to think I held my own at times, just need to decide, am I a heel or a jobber lol possibly a jobber as I certainly brought the sexy back (joke with BPH) but my leanings are probably heel as I don't think I will be too much of a pushover.
As for BPH, seriously, what a great guy and again I want to thank him for extending a challenge to effectively a newbie given the time since I last wrestled! He took a chance and I like to think he's glad he did, well he certainly seemed happy as am I, really was a great reintroduction to the sport and I'm looking forward to more bouts with him and other wrestlers perhaps a bit more local to me.
Just to finish by saying I loved slapping that mat and working off the ropes and taking the postings, again, my dreams came to life during those couple of hours, man, what a sport, love it!
