Heya guys, lately I've been really pushing hard in a few hobbies and areas of my life, and to be honest I'm really pleased with the outlook of a few things.
First off, HM is soon going to get a full design, and I'll be pushing HM as much as possible once it's done. We've already got a sliver of activity, even though I've done sweet fuck all with it since launch, so the potential growth we can expect when I actually start pushing this thing is really something I'm nervous about.
Nervous because by the time we get big, I'll probably be a wrestler, and I'll more than likely also be doing web design, so I'm nervous about whether I'll be able to keep up with those two activities and keep running HM at 100%
Speaking of web design, after finishing HM's design I think I'll probably use it as a base for my own free phpBB designs.
I'll probably start selling custom phpBB designs too.
As for Wrestling -- I'm trying hard as fuck to find a new job so that I'll have the time and energy to start again.
I think it should take about a month for me to be back to where I was when I left -- I can still do the ground work perfectly, and I can take and give the moves relatively well still too, though my body will need to re-learn them all and how to do breakfalls as well. Thats actually pretty impressive though, considering I havent wrestled in a month shy of three years(!) -- I've known guys who had to go back to training after just six months off.
I actually used to pride myself on my ground wrestling, my speed, and my cut-throat viciousness in matches, but right now I doubt I'll be anywhere near as quick as I was, not even close. While I can still move fast, the fact that I'm larger means I cant do any of the fast things that require twitch control over your movements, and going real quick would probably take up more energy than it used to as well.
However, I am much stronger now, physically, than I used to be, so I think with everything I wont be able to do, theres just as much that I will be able to do. Hopefully it all still fits to my technical/ground and pound style, which is another thing I was proud of.
Thats just getting back into it though, when I'm actually wrestling theres so many storylines I'd love to work, and if the contracts allow it I intend on working for multiple Federations at once -- specifically Riot City Wrestling and the Snake Pit. After that, theres Japan, which is where you can really strike it big, though I dont like the idea of working just matches -- I love the glamorous side of wrestling almost as much as the actual wrestling side, and I'd love going into a few lengthy fueds and sporting a nice solid gimmick.
Speaking of gimmicks, I'm not even sure what I'll do with that. Originally they billed me as the junior pro wrestling champion of Australia, which is obviously made up, but now I'm having trouble thinking of exactly what kinda gimmick I wanna use. Really, I'm not even too fussy about what I'll have, so long as it facilitates me being vicious in the ring, and has an actual solid theme to it, like The Rock or Shark Boy -- something I can turn instantly recognizable.
Hell, I'd even work a videogamer gimmick, which I could still be vicious with if I played a heel.
As for a name, my best friend says to use Norlick, he says it sounds awesome, though I'm not sure if I should since I doubt most peoples first reactions to hearing that would be "Holy shit, awesome". Thaughts on that would be very welcome, thanks.

I've got the perfect name:
The Muffin Man -- do you know him?
And then a badass picture of you below the words. Preferably with a chef's hat or crushing a gingerbread man in your hand.

Wow, Nor. Never knew you wanted to pro wrestle. That's awesome. Keep at it and maybe I'll have a reason to watch WWE or TNA.

Haha, you might actually see me there too, I was, according to my trainer, very good.
If not Pro Wrestling, then MMA has my eye(I Wouldn't mind doing both to be honest)

Never wore tights, those things are expensive if you want ones worth buying, so instead I just went in with whatever I felt suited the character. Usually that meant knee-length jeans, anything else kinda limited mobility.
