Recommendations

I am incapable of finding words that adequately describe the experience of meeting BackToPro. I have never enjoyed a morning of wrestling as much as I enjoyed the time with him. He has such an easy engaging manner that by the time we sat down to chat I felt I had known him for many years. As much as I enjoyed the chat, I enjoyed the wrestling much more. He is someone who actually understands the definition of a "long held hold". He claims to be a "newbie" but his knowledge of the proper application of holds belies that classification. I knew I would not do justice when I began this recommendation. I'll end it by saying if he contacts you for a match, run don't walk to accept the invitation.

I'm ready for the next meeting with him anytime.

Opponent #24 on my cross-country wrestling trek is, in my book (and I hope yours), AlexTheGreat.

He's energy, style, a genuine force of nature who instantly lights up any room. With the glittering blue speedos he sported, Alex did have a little help on that last part. He came, set up shop, and then we were soon filming my third (or is it fourth?) match – which he steamrolled. Gut punches. Backbreakers. Body slams. Body scissors. Boston crab. Flexing. Beautiful.

My contribution: teaching the man a few new holds for his arsenal! Of course, that meant experiencing a crucifix, a scissors nelson and a bow and arrow. My hotel room came furnished with a huge mirror, so he was jonesing to check out our pro action an abdominal stretch (reach out anytime you need a primer).

Good guy. Big fun. Good times. Thanks, man!

Solidman and I finally met a group matchup in London. We had missed each other for a couple of years but had the great opportunity to roll multiple rounds!

First off, he's a very affable, wonderful gentleman with a charming slightly sardonic wit that is captivating when he's not quite headlocking you into the ground. Solidman is literally his namesake, quite solidly a beefy build and a strong a-f man, all around. He has incredibly good instincts and can sense the moment you're off balance and can take him down. We're officially 1-1 on taps, but I only got mine after all the other blokes tired him out first.

Highly recommend, and would be among first in line on another revisit to London!

After talking to Joelwrestler a few times in the past, finally was able to meet up last minute for a match. Joelwrestler is a competitive and skilled wrestler. If you are looking for a fun challenge, be sure to not sleep on the opportunity. Safe, sane, and will adjust to your level. Great to talk with on and off the mat. Looking forward to meeting up many times in the future.

Finest joined a much anticipated group match at the London Walthamstow ring, and man, he was awesome and a great opponent. He looks strong (look at his muscles) but it's not until his arms are wrapped around your neck or his thighs are crushing you that you actually understand just how strong he is! He has a repertoire of submission moves and is still nimble and we had a blast on the mats. Finest is just a great guy off the mats and a pleasure to hang out with. Hope to see him again in the near future.

I had the great pleasure of meeting solid man during a meet in London!

Despite the fact he isn’t formally trained, he ran absolute circles around me haha. a tough strong guy, who knows exactly what needs to be done to gain the submission!

Off the mats he has a kind, friendly but also slightly cheeky personality, all of which makes him even more of a pleasure to be around!

I hope to meet this guy again soon!

Well, finally!

I feel like I have been speaking with Finest for a long time now, and finally got the chance to meet up with him during a wrestling meet, and it was definitely worth the weight!

He is a strong lean looking guy, looks great in his gear and is more experienced then he lets on, he managed to catch me in a few submissions but I was lucky and managed to return the favour!

A kind and very friendly guy! I hope to meet again when the opportunity arises!

Had a fantastic match with this great wrestler. We had a great tussle, and I put him in some great holds. I got to squeeze the life out of him with my "Masterful Bearhug", and break his back over my knee. He also got to teach me some new moves that are now in my arsenal. I can't wait till we meet again, and I can also show you some new moves.

Finally I got to meet scrapper02 through a group meet in London that’s he’s kindly arranged and invited me, and boy am I glad I attended.

The guy is strong, skilled, safe, patient and has what feels like a shield bubble that’s impenetrable around him.

More importantly, he’s very friendly and kind. When you roll with him you really don’t want to stop.

I really hope to meet this chap again. He’s one of the few memorable wrestles I’ve had. So if you get the chance to meet him don’t hesitate.

Ryan is a great guy on and off the mats. Very chatty snd friendly. Big guy and Strong AF. Good training and I think if he keeps up the training couple with his body strength will be a problem for most. Really good to roll on the mats with. We had a good chat and a good grapple. Hope to meet him again soon.
