Who here is/was a professional wrestler?

[sdoyle7798]

I know this thread has been done before, probably several times, but...

There was a post in one of Headcase's threads where someone was surprised there are people on this board who either are wrestlers or have been wrestlers in the past.

I blanked (and still am blanking) on the names of these people, so I figured I'd start this thread.

I can think of Headcase and Godz, and I know there are many more.

So, please, introduce yourselves.

[Larryhausen]

There's quite a few, actually

I'm in training right now with the Ballard Brothers.

[mrmulluk]

There's a few kicking around. My good pal StrykerDarkSilence used to frequent these boards very regularly, and he wrestled under that name on this side of the pond.

[Phil Parent]

More than you think, and better ones than you'll ever know!

[derickyuki]

I wrestle out of Savannah, GA. There's still a TON of talent kicking around down here. I'm on a couple shows this month with Prince Iaukea, Tommy Rich, and several other guys.

Once got booked in the main event after being confused with one of The New Heavenly Bodies. They took one look at him and knew for a fact he was no Casanova!

I'm going to be starting my training with Lance Storm in Calgary in January. My ticket is booked, my spot in the class is booked, I'm going to be staying with my cousin who I haven't seen since I was a baby (she lived with my parents when I was just born). Tomorrow there is going to be a sale for a yoga class which is close to my cousin's place, halfway between her place and the school. I plan on going to that every morning before class.

I'm planning on wrestling around Ontario, as there are much more promotions in that area, and it's a shorter distance between spots, but I'll see what happens.

I train at the Bell Time Club in Everett, Mass. It's run and owned by former NWA World Jr. Heavyweight champion Jason Rumble. I'm currently out with a broken ankle, but should be back in January.

[sdoyle7798]

I just remembered one of the names...Jake Diamond.

[DJ Maniak]

I was from about 1997-2000, trained at the LIWF Dawghouse in Jamaica, NY. Worked shows with GCW (NY) and LIWF. I've been thinking about getting back into the business recently, but I have over a decade of ring rust to shake off.

[Ricky Ruckus]

Been wrestling since 2000. And I actually make money at it so I'm a legit "pro".

[minorleagueguy]

....on and off since 1989, mainly in the greater Buffalo NY area, southern Ontario, and northern Pa....not bad for a 44 year old...

[Honeybear Lyder]

Been with the Israeli Pro Wrestling Association since 2003.

[Rave]

I know Ben Boone used to hang around here a couple years back.

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

I almost pursued it, but decided I didn't want to deal with the injuries. I don't want to be a broken man in my forties.

[majortom]

I have been known to apply the occassional hammerlock.

[johnnyk9]

I've went about a good four years in the ring as referee/manager/wrestler, but I gave it up mostly because of gas prices and a huge fall out with my trainer

You mean He's NOT one of the new heavenly bodies?! That fraud! He told me he was on our podcast. I'm calling the pigs.

[Throwback]

I spent some time wrestling around the maritimes.
