Centaur's blog

Today marks my 7th year from hardly being able to look in the mirror, being in the wrong relationship, the wrong mental state and the wrong life.

I want to thank the man who helped me out of this rut and made me pick up and put down heavy circles

I want to give thanks to his friendship and share my gratitude that people can offer a hand out when someone is clearly unhappy.

I also want to thank those on here than engage with me, be it on chat, in meets on social media or even on the mat in a sweaty submission struggle, you all mean a lot and matter incredibly to me.

I finally want to offer a hand be it here or elsewhere to anybody else that is struggling that just wants to talk or ask for some advice or just have someone to vent at.

I’m 43 and I feel like I’m 30 I’m so incredibly lucky I get to do this with you all be it in pro wrestling or submission wrestling.

Look out for each other and give me a shout if you need.

Well 2025 has started with a bang!

Wrestlefest in the US looked like a complete success ! Congratulations to all that attended!

But I turn my attention to the continent of Europe and what it offers me this year…

I would like to hit 100 opponents this year, and with the UK group meets I think I can get to around 70 odd, so I need to see if I can get to the magic 100

I’ll be at Wrestlefest EU taking on all those who wish to have a go, I’ve a meet in Belgium that should also get me some new opponents on here so maybe that will save my aches in May ;)

With that in mind if you’d like to take a shot at me, younger, older, lighter heavier, please let me know and I’ll be happy to oblige!

Have a great 2025 everyone!

So I’ve returned from a foreign group meet in Belgium, wrestlefest has been a success in the US and the Canadians are organising their next ‘Fest for this year!

The UK group meets don’t seem to be attended as much in Manchester and London?

I’m wondering why? We have a pro wrestling tradition, we have a strong combat ethic (or did anyhow)

Age? Cost? Covid? The dichotomy between jobber and heel breaking down?

Who knows!

What I think I know is that group meets are incredibly fun, and if you don’t attend one you are probably missing out, you make new friends, new rivalries and learn new game types.

For those into pro you get to actually practice it!

Anyhow, just a quick thought from me, be great to flex my pro skills a little more than just my submission skills! Anyone thinking of a UK wrestlefest hit me up!

Good morning all,

Hope you are all recovering from the bulk inducing Xmas day and I hope the fat man tapped out to you and have you presents (or tapped you out if that’s your thing!)

I just wanted to push an idea to those that read these blogs, go to a group meet in 2023, while one on one is always a solid staple all of us come to this site to meet other like minded men and women, group meets are such an important and more meaningful (in my opinion) connection, you not only get to battle a selection of men but you get to talk and converse about your battle, the guys battling in front of you or the battle that’s about go on after the guys in front have finished.

It makes solid connections and I’m sure people will make friends from it, which in this time of massive social connection online but ever increasing real life loneliness can only be a good thing!

I took a deep breath before going to Barnet and walked in to a friendly atmosphere which was very welcoming, even after I waded through most of them with no issue ;)

In Manchester, again a deep breath before walking through the doors to a relaxed and pleasant group of people, sadly I didn’t get to match up with all but hopefully the next time I will :)

2023 a new year, new opportunities, don’t be 80 and think “what if” be 80 and think… “Ha I whopped him good that time”

Have a great new year all!
