    I havent been able to locate Tom after we parted. I have asked everyone I knew in the gyms if they knew where he was at but they did not know. I could not remember the location of his house and had misplaced the directions to it. I would love to write it for him. He has a great story and from what I saw was a great person. very nice and accomadating to his guests. Unfortunately at the time I used the wrong words, my loss...........Rockin'

      Even then, im not sure how much "wrestling" they do. Most fights are saturated with "fake punches".
      Sorry, my sarcasm was a bit flat in that post. Must be late.

      We don't really have wrestling in the UK any more, but we used to have it quite big in the 70s/early 80s. Our wrestlers weren't muscle-men though, they were fat blokes in leotards with names like "Giant Haystacks" (really) and "Big Daddy".

      Big Daddy (catchphrase: "Easy"... well, it sounded good at the time) was christened Shirley, and killed a man in one of his final bouts.

        It's a shame because that would make it a nice part of the story, and involve you as the narrating voice.
