My wrestling frustration
Guys, you wouldn't believe the grip wrestling has on me, it's like a full-body bear hug that just won't quit. I'm talking about the kind of wrestling that has you strutting around in spandex trunks, slapping hands with the crowd, and hoisting that championship belt high like you're king of the world. But, you know, it's like Murphy's law is playing a twisted game of keep-away with my dreams.
So here's the deal, I'm stuck on this tiny island, right? And when I say tiny, I mean you could swim around it if you had a good pair of flippers and a lot of free time. Now, you'd think that'd be cool, all those beaches, but let me tell you, when you're dying to get into the wrestling scene, it's like being stranded on a desert island minus the whole "Survivor" TV show deal. The wrestling rings, the bright lights, the smack talk – it's all happening on the mainland, like a million miles away. And let's not even start on the local action because, well, there isn't any. It's like trying to find a decent burger joint in a sea of salad bars. Just not happening.
And then there's the cold, hard cash. Or should I say, the cold, hard lack of it. The dough you need to hop on a boat and wrestle like a pro is more than I can scrounge up. It's like trying to win the lottery without buying a ticket. Sure, I've got my day job and the family, but let's be real, wrestling ain't exactly a hobby you pick up at the corner store. The travel alone would cost more than my car is worth, and that's saying something considering it's got more miles on it than a marathon runner.
Speaking of family and work, it's like juggling hot potatoes while riding a unicycle. You've got responsibilities, you know? Bills to pay, mouths to feed, and a family that actually expects you to show up for dinner. Try explaining to your boss that you need time off to wrestle in a far-off land and see where that gets you. "Sorry, I can't come in, I've got to wrestle in my spandex" isn't exactly a killer excuse, even if it's true.
And the worst part? Time is not my friend here. It's like my body's got an expiration date for wrestling, and it's ticking louder than a clock in a library. The longer I sit here, the more my muscles are turning to jelly and my reflexes are going the way of a sloth. It's depressing, man.
But here's the kicker: I can't be the only one dealing with this, right? There's gotta be a bunch of other folks out there with the same wrestling fever, stuck in the same rut. It's like we're all part of some secret society, separated by oceans and wallets, dreaming of the day we can throw on those trunks and hit the mat. It's like we're all stuck in wrestling limbo, waiting for some cosmic tag-team partner to yank us out.
So, while I'm here, wrestling with the fridge and the occasional beach bum, I can't help but wonder if there's a way. Maybe, just maybe, there's a path through this mess of life that leads to the squared circle. Until then, I'll keep watching the big matches, pumping iron, and praying to the wrestling gods for a miracle. And maybe, just maybe, one day I'll get to feel the spandex squeeze and hear the crowd go wild. Until then, I'll keep dreaming and plotting my escape from this island of missed opportunities.

27/10/2024 07:54Surprising to learn you haven't had more opportunities. Your many videos and action photos made it seem as if you made frequent visits to the wrestling rings. The internet does create a siren song calling us to where the action is. Some are free to answer the call wherever it may lead and some of us aren't.

Hey there! Thanks for the kind words! It s true, the internet can definitely make it seem like I m living the high life in the wrestling world, but it s a little more complicated than that. I ve had my fair share of fun moments, but life has its own plans sometimes, right? Between work and other commitments, it can be tough to hit the rings as often as I d like.
I totally get that siren song vibe you mentioned! There s something about the energy of live wrestling that just pulls you in. I love capturing those epic moments and sharing them, even if I can t be there in person all the time. It s like living vicariously through the action, and I m glad to share that passion with everyone online. Plus, the community around wrestling is just so vibrant and supportive, which makes it all the more fun!
Here s hoping for more opportunities in the future! I m always keeping an eye out for the next big event or match to dive into. Until then, I ll keep sharing what I can and cheering on my favorites from the sidelines. Thanks for following along on this journey with me! ️

So true about the concept of vicarious action. While it's not the whole pie, it does give a taste of that action and maintains the interest. Meeting online may not be in person but it's still very real. Thank you for being part of that journey.

27/10/2024 10:43I hear you, not much better off here... a tiny island with a closeted, bigot mentality (twinks or nothing) where most guys get married to a wifey and have kids, then see if they are gay or not... baggage... much baggage

Ugh, I totally get what you mean! It can be such a struggle navigating those vibes, especially in a place where people are still figuring themselves out. It s like, come on, can we just be real about who we are without all the drama? It s frustrating when people are stuck in that mindset, but hang in there! There are definitely others out there who feel the same way, and finding your tribe can make all the difference.

27/10/2024 12:45If wrestling is more important than living in Jersey, move location, take action . Bleeting about it solves nothing.

Hello there! I certainly understand and empathise with your perspective on this matter, but I believe it would be beneficial to delve a bit more profoundly into the concept of "bleeting." It is essential to recognize that this act of sharing one's thoughts and feelings is not always solely about engaging in whining or complaining; it often stems from a genuine need to express profound emotions and frustrations. Individuals frequently find themselves in situations where they are grappling with a myriad of issues, feeling confined or overwhelmed, and they simply require a conducive environment to articulate their concerns. This is an inherent aspect of the human experience, is it not?
I am completely in accord with the notion that taking proactive steps towards change is crucial! However, let's not overlook the fact that life tends to present us with a multitude of responsibilities and commitments that can make it challenging to navigate. With the demands of work, family, and various other obligations, it's easy to feel as though we are perpetually juggling a vast array of responsibilities. There are indeed moments when we find ourselves in a predicament where we are caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place, unsure of how to proceed or escape the weight of our burdens.
While it is certainly noble and admirable to pursue one's passions with the same vigor and determination as wrestling, we must also acknowledge the importance of maintaining a sense of equilibrium in our lives. Life is a tapestry woven from the threads of various commitments, and it is crucial to strike a harmonious balance between our aspirations and our day-to-day realities. Rather than immediately suggesting a drastic change such as relocating to a new place, perhaps we could consider alternative approaches that involve supporting one another in our quests to incorporate our passions and interests into the fabric of our existing lifestyles. This could entail brainstorming practical solutions and strategies that allow for the pursuit of dreams without neglecting our responsibilities and obligations.
Let's continue this insightful dialogue and explore further the ways in which we can collectively offer understanding and encouragement to those feeling trapped or disenchanted with their current circumstances. Through thoughtful discussion and the sharing of ideas, we can potentially assist each other in discovering the means to harmonise our aspirations with the realities that life so often presents. It is imperative to remember that each individual's journey is unique, and the path to fulfillment may not always be a straightforward one. Our role in this interconnected web of experiences is to offer empathy and guidance, rather than simple or hasty solutions. So, let's persist in our exploration and keep the conversation flowing as we collectively strive for personal growth and contentment.

Hey there! I totally get what you’re saying it’s tough when someone so passionate about wrestling has a story that tugs at the heartstrings. It’s like they’re a real-life underdog, and we all want to see them rise to the top! Just remember, every champion has their battles, and it’s those struggles that make their victories even sweeter. I'm here for you too, and I believe we’ll all find our way to those dreams we’re chasing. Keep your head up, and let’s keep cheering each other on! ️

Totally feel you on that! It's tough being a fan of old school wrestling when it's not as celebrated here in Jersey, just like in France. Sometimes it feels like we’re missing out on all the epic moments that get everyone hyped up in the States. But hey, we can still keep the passion alive and share our love for those classic matches! Let’s keep the conversation going and maybe we can find some hidden gems together! ️
