Many comments have been made on blogs about Dirty Fit Cheetah (or as I keep calling him DFC)

I agree with them all but wanted to add my pro wrestling slant to it. I met DFC during my period of being off this site. It was our second attempt to meet. That was down to me and a sick family member

I have learnt in this sport that you never stop learning. About holds and about people. We had a great three hours together and more if you include our chat over a few pints in the pub and on the tube back from Barnet. I have never met anyone like him. He has a passion for his pro hold and getting them right. How to execute them and to ensure you get the required result. In my case it was important that I learned by being at the receiving end and to be honest this happened quite a bit but I did manage to get some back on him.

It's not often you meet a guy with a true passion for the sport. Not just an animal instinct to sub wrestle. Pro is all about process understanding and as I learnt that afternoon pain

Thanks for the lesson. One I have learnt and hope to have lesson two soon

I have never blogged before on this site.... Actually at all from memory But I wanted to write a short message to reflect on the last two weeks in the life of Steve Southerngrappler

Some will know that after three years on this site I chose to suspend my profile two weeks ago. The reasons for this are not important and are now irrelevant. I considered removing it all together to be honest.

Now the reason for this bit iof info is to introduce something that has warmed my heart a bit. After suspending my profile I suddenly realised how many good friends I have on this site. Those were the ones that called and text and emailed and facebooked. Infact did anything to get hold of me and ask me if I was ok and what had happened. Take it from me these messages of warmth and genuine friendship is why I am back here and I thank them all for caring about me to ask and enquirer and in two cases arrange meets too

So I am back.

Don't let the elements of life that irritate or annoy drag you down. I won't with the support I have. I have a passion for my sport and that will never be dented

Steve
