Wednesday 20th February will see another battle between the young challenger jay219 and the experienced mark_uk. This will be their 10th match and the kid is determined to take the veterans title from him. In the 9th meet the kid came close for a while but the big guy came back and showed the kid who is the boss on the mats. This week the kid promises to bring more to the match. Watch for the press release on thursday but who do you think is going down this time. The Champ or The young punk ??

I am not a shy guy in any way but I was to attend my first group meet in Manchester. John's manchester missing meet at pippa's. Well for you guys that haven't been to one these events then like me before, your missing out big time. I can't tell you much I enjoyed myself. Great organisation and a mix of real nice guys that for years I have been chatting too but finally had the chance to meet.

My day started with a Tag match me and prowrestle1 vs chesterbloke and submissionboi. awesome fun with me and callum becoming a father/son tag team (heels off course). My firts proper match in a ring and loved every minute. Went on to have some great sub matches with Robert England, Ady, Strongnlight, Submissionboi, Prowrestle1, mike1122 and jackinthering. By 5.40pm I was hurting but the adrenaline was still pumping. The father son team headed back to the ring for a final tag match against 2 young spotland scrapper lads. John came in a special ref for the match. The scrappers put up a great match but there was nothing stopping the dirty tactics of the me and Callum to stay champions.

All in all I have to thank all the guys yesterday for a fantastic day, their hospitality and new friendships. A special thanks to the spotland scrappers for the time they spent teaching and working pro with guys and to John for organising.

Finally, for you guys that enjoyed trying to beat on me yesterday. Well the day was an adrenaline rush but today (sunday) its just pain and all over. lol Cheers

Well how do I start, well I stopped over in Fort Lauderdale for a few days business but had scheduled a couple of matches. The first a respected BGeast veteran. He NO SHOWED. Then a new Kid on here. Family issues so cancelled. Lots of other guys wanting to meet but just becomes too difficult or too late. I pop into meetfighters chat and my pal ceefa99 come in the room too. To my surprise he was also intown. I pack my trunks and head over to his place. We chatted and had the chance to chat about life. Then putting on our speedos we entered the pool. It started with a bit of verbal then turned into a pool wrestle which grow hotter as it went on. Def evens up the odds in water. We I will leave the rest to your imagination but all I can say is if you haven't done it before then you should. Was an awesome experience and another great session with a reliable and charmimg friend. mark

Well I am at the end of another trip and had a blast. Wrestling in Dallas was a first for me but by no means the last. First on the list was rassledfw (ryan), cocky son of a bitch but has the skills to show for it. Awesome match and learnt a few things too. He had the edge on me but i would never tell him that. lol SH0308 is a new guy but boy was he hungry to learn. great great match and superbly nice off the mats too. Jester2008 was a big surprise for me. I wasn't expecting much of a challenge and how wrong i was. Mr determination is my new name for this guy. A few more lessons and he will give alot of guys a hard time. A return match with rassledfw had to happen before I left and yet again i enjoyed the match and his company hugely. Finally a special mention for two guys i didn't get to wrestle Dungeon_master (alex) a legend and now a great friend. met twice for dinner but unfortunately he wasn't able to wrestle. we will next time. Last but by know means least. BigDaddy, all talk, sets up a meet and then cancels it all becomes my fault and I am not his type anyway. Seems his reputation is as bad as I was told but hey, if he wants to be rude then block me so i can't respond then let him. Don't waste your time on this one guys he's an ass. Second leg Seattle and i hook up again with young timmy1. great guy and loves a bit of pro. this kid can not only take a huge amount of punishment he can dish it out too. Thats it for this trip other than a spider bite in Dallas on my last night. Can't decribe the pain i was in by Tuesday when i went to see the Boeing medical centre. Hey, but we're fighters and life goes on.

So after a great start to the year with 9 matches in the UK during January I had my first major trip of the year for work. Sat 11th In Jeddah Saudi Arabia Sun 12th. Fly to Dubai and onto Hong Kong. Mon 13th. meeting in Shenzhan and Dinner Tue 14th. Fly to Shanghai for dinner and more meeting Wed 15th. Arrive Singapore Sun 19th. Arrive Los Angeles Sat 25th. Leave for UK

So the matches. 5 in Singapore and 2 in LA Jefary and i had met before in the UK. Great guy and always a good match. alan2009, Our first meet and a good time. Nice guy and not a bad little wrestler Joe (not on here). Met before in the UK. Awesome wrestle and a real challenge. After my loss last time it was a really even match this time. Top guy and real friend Growin_dude. Awesome guy with outstanding stamina. He doesn't pretend to be the most experienced guy and who really cares. he listened, he learn, we had a great 4.5hour match and then the rest of the day together. A real must if your in the area. Bunnyman. Wow this guy had a body to die for and is just the nicest guy there is. We battled for hours and had a great match. A real gentlemen off the mats too. I wish every city in the world could be as reliable as this one. Can't wait to get back again and meet them. So onto LA. You don't realise how big and difficult it can be to get around this metropolis. So many guys i wanted to meet or wanted to meet me but for both we also have a job to do as well. However, I had awesome luck and met 2 guys from global who will soon be on here too. Musclajock. 24yo inexperienced guy who was great. Met at real short notice and only had an hour and a half. Great recommendation if your in the downtown area. My final meet was with jesse123 also from global. Having cancelled on him on the Tuesday due to work I took the opportunity of my trip extension to make it up to him. WOW and what a blast we had. He stayed over and we wrestled, eat, wrestled, drank, wrestled slept and wrestled again. Outstanding guy and just clicked from the minute he arrived. A great trip and thank you all so much for the time and hospitality. mark
