Considered Wrestling Training?

Its not like your going to be getting thrown through tables or hit with chairs or choke slammed by 7ft guys, although id love to see what its like to get thrown through one of those WWE tables :pac:

Actually last year alone I was put through two tables, hit by countless chairs and chokeslammed three times by a 7ft guy. Just saying.

I suppose Paddys day would do but I'd prefer a day that I wont have the possibility of being sued for teaching people to wrestle while extremely intoxicated. I look forward to seeing some of you make it to this session Im sure you'll enjoy it and at least if it's only a one day thing you can say you tried it. For people who are giving excuses as to why they wont do it just give it a shot for one day, believe me when I say whatever excuses you have I have too (out of shape, injury , distance etc). One day to try it out, nothing ventured nothing gained. Plus we're about 50 feet from a great pub if you need scoops.

As for the non wrestling roles we'd love a few people to come along for manager/referee places. There are always room for newcomers in every aspect.

Chokeslams and tables were separate occurrences. I job alot in variety of ways, its my thing.

Didn't realise Paddy's day was the 17th so...

We'll open the school for you guys on the 24th of March... Sound good?

Saw you at the MSW show tonight Justin but didn't get a chance to chat to you about this, always seemed to be other people chatting to you.

It's an awesome offer and opportunity, I am interested but at the same giving it a bit more thought before I give a definitive yes.

You should have just come up to me buddy I'm a very approachable person and shy too. If you're having cold feet about it I'd suggest coming down to watch with training gear, at any time you feel like jumping in give it a go. It's only one day to see IF you like it. Nobody will be there with a contract for you to sign for you to come back every week. Although wrestling has been known as the heroin of the entertainment world.

So far its myself and cianan who have said that they will be able to go. After reading back through through the thread I could see the following were also interested:

Deftlefthand
Sirsok
The Boston Crab
Cena
Charisteas
Creative chris
Starviewadams
Voltwad
Connemara man

It would be for the best if we could confirm the numbers sooner rather than later so FFPW will know whether or not the session will be happening.

Eh I'd be interested, assuming we are all dreadfully unfit . Just wondering how much and does the DART leave you near?

You would be better off getting the bus from Dublin it leaves you right around the corner from the building. The Dart leaves you a good 15 or 20 minute walk away. It costs about 2.70 from Dublin Town on the bus.

Don't worry about fitness the session would be an introduction to pro wrestling, a slight warm up would be the height of it. Normally warm ups would be fairly intense but for these type of sessions, open days/beginner class, we do enough to avoid injuries like muscle strain.
What people can expect is a short run through of most aspects of the in ring side of pro wrestling- Bumping, Lock up and basic chain wrestling, Rope Running, Basic Suplex and Slams on the crash mat then progressing to basic spots in the ring. Its a way to give you a taste of everything with out it getting overwhelming. So not much ring psychology or technical stuff on day one. I hope this sways some people in making the trip and make it seem less daunting. I'd love if this got a few more faces down to regular training sessions not just for the obvious reasons but fresh faces always make for more craic at training.

Anyone interested in carpooling to this? id def be willing to pay petrol money in return for a lift from the city!

Right lads it has been confirmed for Saturday the 24th at 1pm.Good luck to everyone and remember all are welcome all ages and fitness levels and its free.

You can count me in for Sat the 24th / 13:00. Looking forward to it.

But as the lads above have been saying: what's the craic with footwear? I have a pair of running trainers that I normally use for jogging would they be ok?

Just confirming with everyone that we will have the gym open at 1pm next Saturday for anyone that wants to give this a shot.

If anyone needs to ring us call 085-7356972 for directions etc..

Really looking forward to this, i hope it is alright if i bring a friend?

Bringing friends is fine. In fact everyone should bring all their friends.....and family......if you dont have friends bring strangers. Plus dont forget the official Fight Factory T-shirts are available so bring money too.

Myself and Phil will be taking the session between us.
