Ring Training

Yesterday I got it into my head I wanted to learn more in the ring.

The insulting comments on a previous blog post got me to thinking about what I did and didn't know about being in the ring. While the douche who wrote the comment remains an arrogant, self-righteous insulting troll, doesn't mean what it said can't serve a purpose. Looking past the blather, there was the fact that I'm sure there's a lot to be learned about being in the ring and after last night, I understand this fact with greater clarity.

I messaged with Sarge (his ring persona) in the day and last night I was in the ring with him. He ran through a lot of things with me, from tying up to escapes to reversals to properly landing bumps. I marveled at how second nature everything was to him. I'd love to have that level of physical knowledge and prowess. I know we only scratched the surface of all there is to know and I am so very grateful to him for sharing as much as he has with me.

The highlights of the night was getting suplexed twice in a row (the second one I didn't land right, heels should NEVER hit the mat first) then monkey flipped. I could have kept going for hours but it was Thursday night and we both had to work today.

He also mentioned he knew of another local wrestling couple who had contacted him and were looking to learn more about wrestling as well. A real possibility for wrestling another couple who both wanted to be there? He showed me a picture of them and the lady looked good. The fellow was in good shape too, the thought of whether Frenchie would like to try wrestling him crossed my mind. She and Frenchie together would make a hot match and the thought flitted through my mind of enjoying a match with her myself. Very exciting prospects, however much just wishful thinking at the moment.

Once I returned home and showered, Frenchie reaped the spoils of a man who felt very much alive, something she was looking for for the past two nights. Lately I've felt very sluggish and uninterested, yet all I did was wrestle in the ring, not even with her, and I was so wired and alive she got a two-rounder pounding which she loved.

The sad part is I know nights like this are the exception rather than the rule, which is really a painful realization for me. I like being active, I like doing something unusual, I like learning new things, I like being able to give my wife what she desires.

So that was that and I'd like to think the future holds promise of more fun but only if I make it happen...
