Hey,
Yesterday I went to Glasgow, as I was scheduled to compete in a 10-kid Battle Royal, on the Saturday night. I will tell you of my experience and more!
On Friday, I left the house around 2PM and got in Glasgow by almost 4. It was a rather slow trip, and the traffic was crap.
When we got there, the Promoter said he told us the wrong dates, and that the matches were infact, on the night!
So, we had 1 hour to relax, and then we were on!
I was expecting more or less, 50 or so people to be there. The amount of tickets sold was 132! So, including other wrestlers, referee, cameramen and bouncers, we were performing in front of about 150 people!
I'll tell you know, I was crapping myself, but it actually went really well!
The match was fantastic. I went down to the final 3, but I was getting shaky from my Diabetes, and I wasn't well known at all, so I just whispered to one of the kids, "OK, I'll try and throw you out, but you reverse it and throw me out."
So, I got swung to the ropes, and he made me sit on the outside of the mat. Then he said, "Here comes a dropkick!".
He swung from one end of the ring, to my side, and dropkicked me in the face. This was a legit hit, as his foot clipped my chin, so it hurt really bad.
It was about half-5 now, so I traveled to Kilmarnock to see my sister. She showed me a leaflet about some "amatuer" wrestlers in town, and so, at half past 6, I went to the Royal Hall and sat down to see some more wrestling.
Yvonne didn't know who they were, but I had actually looked at the leaflet well.
It was a BCW (British Championship Wrestling) event, and there were about 250+ people!
It was an amazing event, with appearances from people like Bubblegum, Lionheart, Wolfgang, The Highlander, Carmell, Kirby, Dragon Aisu, Liam Thompson, Johnny Star and many more!
There was an amazing angle at the beginning, where Lionheart called his girlfriend into the ring.
He said, "Now, I know my wrestling has been taking over my life, and I haven't been paying much attention to you, and I'm really sorry. I love you."
He kissed, but then suddenyly, he grabbed her and BOOM! A big finisher!
The audience was shocked, and you couldn't hear ANYONE!
Lionheart turned fully heel, but Wolfgang came out and slammed him down, to save his girlfriend!
Bubblegum with his "Peter Pan" gimmick was hilarious, and I got a picture of me, in between him and The Highlander!
We also was 2 raffles. I picked up a poster of Drew Galloway, Lionheart, Liam Thompson, Andy Wilks and, who appears to be, BG Jones.
It was a Scotland vs England poster, and I loved it, mainly due to the fact that my wrestling hero, Drew Galloway, was on it.
My dad went up to pick the next one, and he picked a Queen DVD.
Overall, I had a fantastic day, and wouldn't mind doing it again!
