Last month I was able to spend a week in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, with my climbing mate from the 80s and 90s, and with whom I had climbed most of the many mountains I had climbed in those days. Nowadays, with mountaineering a thing of the past, wrestling had taken over and even though he is not a wrestler I naturally tried to squeeze in a wrestling match or two when I was traveling abroad.

For this trip I had planned to have a serious match with a heavyweight wrestler, a guy I was sure that could teach me a thing or two about Pro wrestling. I had always had an interest in Pro wrestling but rarely had a chance to try it myself, but with this guy I had a good chance to get to know what it all was about. Mainly I was looking forward to being put in a boston crab by him, and with his 287 pound body I would be sure not be able to escape his hold. So he would have all the time to make me getting used to this while my body slowly would be crushed under his weight.

We had planned two sessions, one in the beginning of my visit and one in the end so I could have some recovery time between the two sessions, for he also knew some other holds which he would enjoy to put me in, so I was looking forward to a sweaty and sometimes painful week in Munich. But it never happened, for when the week arrived he had gotten ill and had to cancel both appointments. Though at least he had given me enough time to change my own plans so I could stay those two days with my old climbing mate instead.

With these Munich matches now gone I was not going to experience the boston crab as planned, but I still hope that I will get another chance to meet this heavyweight Munich wrestler. Otherwise I feel sure that I can find other guys here on MeetFighters who wants to show me.

At least November did not become another month without wrestling, for one of my past opponents, bearlotta from Rheinland, came to Copenhagen two weeks earlier and wanted to have a return match with me, which I of course was happy to give him. For there are virtually no wrestlers here in Copenhagen, so I try to catch up with the few wrestlers coming to Copenhagen for a visit.

I would expect that I was more fit for fight after the many matches I just had had in Paris, but this was not the case. Bearlotta was noticably lighter than the guy I was not going to wrestle in Munich, but still heavier than me. So it didn't take him long to get on top of me, from where he had all in control. I admit, I am not good with evening matches, for once I've had my dinner my body have other things to cope with than wrestling. But in retrospect I was happy, for with bearlotta I also could have some wrestling done in November.

Next come December, and it seems that this will be a month without wrestling. One guy had planned to come to Copenhagen this month, but he has just cancelled his trip. So it seems that I will have to wait until 2019 before I get a chance to wrestle again.
