Also February did not give me any chance to wrestle, but I just managed to have some wrestling done in March, for on the last day of the month I had a visitor from Ireland. And not just any tourist, but the first guy I had ever wrestled when I met him for the first time in 2007. Although he already then was not into competitive wrestling but more into play wrestling, he already then knew enough about this sport to turn me on to wrestling.

It was now 12 years ago since I had wrestled him for the first time, and I was a bit curious if we could have a good match, for I certainly had had a lot of wrestling matches since that first time in 2007. Probably I now was more experienced than he was, so I started with inviting him home to my place. He is the only guy I had wrestled in my home, and certainly my apartment had not become larger in the meantime, only more crammed. But after having moved some furniture I succeeded in obtaining a free space of two square metres, and he said that this would be enough. For the 'shoe box' he had as a hotel room here would not be useful for wrestling.

But what he didn't have in wrestling experience he certainly had in his spandex fetish, and since we both are spandex aficionados we could have a good time anyway. So I took him through a variety of scissors - leg scissors, body scissors and head scissors, sorry that I didn't know of many other wrestling holds. During this I estimated that we had about similar stats, him having maybe a bit more compact body than I had, so certainly he had a good body to build on.

The following day it was Sunday and we had the whole day to enjoy, and after taking him out to brunch and afterwards taking a stroll through Copenhagen we ended up in his hotel room. With my friend not being a MeetFighters member (at least not yet) he was happy that at least he could wrestle me, for he could not find any other wrestlers at his place in Ireland, though a look at MeetFighters showed that there were five times more potential wrestlers at his place than in Copenhagen. So he worked out that maybe his shoe box hotel room would be good enough for wrestling after all. For to be able to use his room we only had to move two chairs and then we had a space the same size as we've just had in my apartment.

My friend still had a clear memory of the wrestling story I had built up on my personal lycra website in 2007 taking in the many pictures I had taken during his last visit, so he was thinking that maybe we could do the same this time again? At least we could try, for even though we had removed these two chairs there was not space for any proper wrestling in his hotel room, which seemed to be a children's room. So thinking back of the match we had had back then in 2007 we tried to at least make a lot of good situations. Then he left it to me to put these many pictures together to make another good history again.

Maybe we did not have much proper wrestling, but at least I actually built up a good sweat, which for me is a sign that I have had some good fun, and also is a sign that I have had a good workout. Which is important for me so I can use my good muscle, which I have not really been able to since that stroke in 2013.

So maybe this wrestle was not a proper one, but at least it gave me some kind of workout. And I expect that it was a good warm-up session before I will have the next wrestling session later this week. I will be traveling to Germany again, and this time I have planned to meet two other guys I have not wrestled before. I can get from their stats that at least one of them will serve me a serious match!
