So my training starts...

[Jeremy Sterling]

I officially signed up to learn how to wrestle tonight. My first practice is August 23rd, which is the same day as my first day of classes for school. Should be a lot of fun. If I learn everything as quickly as I'd hope, my first show will be one of the training session shows the company has in September. Pretty damn exciting.

For those wondering, I'm training at the House of Pain Professional Wrestling school in Hagerstown, Maryland. Head trainer is John Rambo, some of the guys that have wrestled in the mother promotion (NWL) are Gene Snitsky and Mick Foley.

[Trav McBang!]

If I'm free, I'm gonna come heckle you for that first match.

Which chant shall I use? "DEL-I-KADO" or "YOU'RE-A-LEX-IS"?

In all seriousness, that's awesome, Jeremy...and I'm serious about the heckling.

That might be optimistic from what I've heard.

And try to do better than Cris. In my rp when "Chris" got crippled 20 mins into his first training session...that was Cris >_>

That's awesome, it's a lot of fun (unless you work with Chris Sabin). Anyway have fun with it because it's a great experience and a lot of hard work, I have two pieces of advise for you ... chin tuck is number one. The worst mistake everyone makes when they get into the ring and learn break fall ends up serious headache and whiplash because you don't chin tuck.

NEXT and this is the important one. If they let you wrestle an actual match in September ... quit. Seriously, not even a wrestling prodigy can put on a compitent match with less then a month of training. Don't get excited and rush into things as it's the fastest way to get hurt and also to not make your first match the experience of a life time (unless of course that match is breakfall and job)!

I've considered for a long time getting back into the wrestling gig, but I am not sure I want to. Trained with a lot of decent guys, had a lot of gun and hope the same thing happens for you. Just ... don't get hurt and also don't get walked over.

The match I'd be working in September wouldn't be a legit match, it would be a ten man battle royal. Nothing big. The shows are also basically training shows not like full legit shows. They're titled as a Tuesday/Saturday Night Training Session. Admission is free as long as you reserve your spot ahead of time. No tickets at the door. Basically what I would be doing is probably taking a shoulder tackle, maybe do an arm drag or two, take a few arm drags and then get eliminated. Probably no longer than like three minutes in the ring. I wouldn't have an actual match until sometime in April, I'd imagine.

As for the chin tuck, I've noticed that. That's something I'm definitely going to try and remember, I saw a guy forget to do that yesterday and he was holding his head the rest of the night. Definitely don't want to concuss myself by forgetting something as simple as the chin tuck.

Thanks for all the support guys, I'm crazy excited.

Ah, that makes more sense with the matches.

You'll probably just be learning how to take a fall/spot first lesson anyway mostly.

Congrats man.....being in the ring is fun. Hope you look forward to taking about 100 bumps your first practice.

Seriously though, as Joshie said....DO NOT get into the ring for at least 6 months. You do not want to hurt yourself or someone else. I should know, I used to train, because I am awesome.
