    Rather than posting this in the Q&A thread, I'm going to post it here, it seems like I'm more likely to find an actual wrestler here.
    I'm buying my first set of gear soon, I measured my waist, and I got 43 inches(which, to be honest, seems like way too much, I am overweight, but, I don't look or feel that overweight.) but, I wear a large, which is 36-38 inches in everything, and it's not tight, does anyone know what size I should go with?
    Also, another small question, I already have a pair of knee pads, but, since they don't go with my attire, I'm buying a new pair, I originally bought medium, and they're a pretty tight fit, but still, not too tight to use, if I buy large this time, would it be possible for them to be way too big?

    Hey mate,

    Phil Boyd here, I've been wrestling a while. Get large(r) knee pads if you can. I wear large AMA knee pads and they are fairly snug on me and I'm only an average sized cruiserweight. Also most things made will expand but if your measuring tape says 43'' I think you should go with that. Maybe cut it to 41'' if you feel better that way but don't go by your jeans size. Anyway hope this helps. Are you training in Ireland?

    Thanks, Phil.
    Yeah, I'm training in Ireland, at MSW to be specific.
    I have another question, how far would a singlet be likely to stretch?
    I've lost quite a bit of weight since I started training, and I'm still losing weight, which will probably increase when I join the gym(don't have the money till after Christmas.) so, I'd rather get a smaller size, I redid the measurement, turns out I actually measured slightly wrong last time, it's actually slightly smaller, at a 42, do you think I'd get away with a large singlet from eLucha at 36-38, or should I go for an extra large at 40-42?
    Do you think an extra large would fit someone who's smaller than that?
    I'm trying to make it last as long as possible, since, including shipping, you're generally looking at over €100 per singlet.
    Thanks in advance for any answers you give me.

    This is stuff you should be discussing with your trainers not with people on a fan site, and the way you made your original post bout getting an answer from wrestlers shows that A: your clearly not ready for ring gear otherwise your trainers would of pointed you in the direction of places for gear or B: or you don't trust the word of those meant to be training you, you do know they're on here and will probably work out who you are...

    Get on facebook if you dont already have an account, and look for and become friends with or like the page AWP Australia, they do custom gear for guys all around the world
    They will be able to answer your questions pretty well

    I trust my trainers, I just can't get a hold of any of them before Monday, I didn't realise this problem till last night, after training, and I only train Monday and Wednesday, I was planning on ordering my gear today or tomorrow, since I'll probably spend the money otherwise.

    Yeah in fairness Rawm2008, is BetterThanThou interrupting some massive discussion on here. Like I think this has more posts than when Fergal Devitt wrestled in Ireland last week. Why are you trying to get the lad in trouble. Your two points make little sense and your fabricating a issue out of nothing. I'd tell lads to get gear straight away ready their ready or not. That way I'm not the one waiting on them to get gear so I could use them on a show.

    At least the discussion is productive. By all means if he interrupted some great discussion about PWU's show last Sunday or MSW's show in Finglas next week or NLW's in Belfast the week after or even any IWW shows then I'd say fair enough. There's just such a negative attitude on this forum.

    I remember when I started posting on forums it was great craic and the interaction between us '1st gen' Irish wrestlers and the people who came to shows was great. I remember Cannibal making a 'Phil The Trifle' picture from my original NWA Ireland roster pic. That was good harmless fun. Can this forum not try and go back to days like that.

    I know you have used some PWU talent before and all I have to say is that some of the newer guys coming up the roster will be awesome, and you should defo look into booking them in the future

    Failing that, can we even go back to the days of promoters having very public breakdowns, like 3 months ago? That was great craic altogether!

    I've just heard that an Irish indie star has been offered a wwe contract. cant say who exactly but he's from the south. hopefully more will come within the next few days.

    Just a quick question. There seems to be several training centres for wrestling on the south side of Dublin but is there any on the north side? I was taking a look at MSW's training facility on their web site and from what I can see it looks fairly impressive but if there was one on the north side which would be closer I would probably check that out too before making a decision.

    I honestly have no idea who it is as there is that much talent in Irish wrestling at the moment. I just hope that if they get a contract WWE honours it this time and does not release the person part of the way through it the same as they did with 'Tron'.

    Personally I have only seen Maxer wrestle once for PWU and he didnt do much for me, Damien Corvin is twice the wrestler he is in my opinion

    If you think that's big I heard today that Philly the Kid has been offered a trial with Juggalo Championship Wrestling in the US.
    They've long been searching for someone to play a gay cowboy character, and no one is more over in this role than Ireland's own Phil.

    Violent J of the ICP had this to say of Philly, "This guy could be the biggest thing to hit JCW since Kamala".

    Exciting times indeed.

    How hilarious is this conversation? Wow with all the LOLing and LMFAOing I don't know whats going on. Was that a Rotflcopter flying by?

    AAAAAAAAAAAAnyhow there was a great show up North on Sturday courtesy of the crew from NLW. I got to see the whole show, the match between Morrow and Omen was the highlight for me. A good crowd attended so it was a great way to end the wrestling year.
    Next week is the Irish wrestling Christmas Party. Everyone involved with Irish wrestling is welcome, for more information ask the gay cowboy on facebook.

    Hey lads, what happened to DCW? A mate of mine told me it went under, can anyone shed some light on this?

    Please don't turn this into a slag fest, I just want to know, roughly at least, what happened to it? I used to frequent this area but moved over to the motors section of boards... Kicking myself that I didn't keep up with wrestling in Ireland.

    it is mentioned earlier in this thread, the promoter is an alcohoic who assaulted danny deans and threatened his family at a show, which led to a lot of wrestlers walking out and there had been a good few walk out before that
