Sometimes I think I am a bit mad!! This weekend I visited Manchester for a Saturday of wrestling at Pippas. To get there in time though involves me a train out of Southampton at 6am!!

However the early start was worth it for sure

I met up with SE Wrestler at Euston after battling a half closed underground system Then we both met Tonyo at Manchester and made our way to Pippas

I love pro. Especially with guys who get a kick out of it like me!! SE Wrestler is one of those guys and I have met him a few times but Toyno is in that group too. He loves the sport, looks the part in his boots and trunks and is a great opponent in the ring. He is also a great tag partner and that's what we are now. Looking the business both in black trunks and white boots we had a great three way with SE Wrestler and a bit of double teaming took place. I enjoyed getting him in the tree of woe among other moves. We had a great few hours and look forward to the next meet for sure

I also stayed on with Tonyo at a group meet after. I realise at these meets what a great set of wrestling friends I have and how down to earth they all are. I wrestled Rick Royal and Muscleneck, both of whom I have wrestled before but a few years ago. And that's what this sport is all about. The friendships you develop and then rekindle years later. I really enjoyed my time in the ring and the buzz of pro.

And I am back up in Manchester next week, another early morning awaits......
