It's confirmed, I will be training to be a professional wrestler at APW Boot Camp in nearby Hayward. Class starts in July.

We'll see what comes of it.

Good luck Kirby!

I'll need it. I was told that I'm going to have to start working out 6 days a week, with emphasis on cardio and that I'll have to DOUBLE how much I eat.

Doesn't sound like an entirely bad exchange...

Though I bet its not nearly as neat as I think it is.

But good luck all the same.

We've never seen eye to eye kid, but you have a HUGE opportunity. Good luck man. You'd better keep the guys and girls of WR updated... you would be our first trainee wrestler I believe?

Sassafras?


Good luck, Kirby! Don't forget about us when you're smashing heads in the big leagues, kay?

I'm pretty sure he's training to be a wrestler, yeah. Or even wrestling right now, I have no idea.

That just shows how out of touch I am!!! Oh well. I won't cram this topic up with that.! It's Kirby's moment.

Good luck Kirby do us and most importantly yourself proud.

Does WPW_Champ count? He hasn't been around much since OWW, but he is around occasionally.

Regardless the circumstances, there will always be a fair amount of respect for you. From what I understand, Sassafras is also in training to go pro, as well.

It will be my pleasure to help revive the old-school style of technical grappling. That would make me proud.

I see it now, the unbeatable team of Sassafras & Kirby!!! Dont let Orton or Cena squash you guys.

Give me (us?) a break! We're going to be PROFESSIONAL WRESTLERS! Not "sports-entertainers"

That's not to say that I won't rule out having a peek at WWE, if the time is right.

Hey what's wrong with a bit of exposure right? Lol.

GOOD LUCK DUDE!! :ymhug:

Though I don't envy you one the beefing up part.

I may like travelling, but 300+ days out of the year would make me more psycho (if that's possible)

Good Luck kirbs

I think its great your training and that you want to focus on tech/grappling, you should also try submissions along with it

but all in all, congrats and good luck

Wow. Glad I saw this. Yes, I'm in training. Early 2012 debut, if all goes well.
I'd be honored to work with Kirby someday. A solid 60-minute match with a technical wrestler less than half my size would be fun. To see those conflicting styles would be pretty awesome. Grappling/technicality vs. brawling/submission/Krav Maga. Get on it, Kirbs. First one to a World title wins.

Your brawling, submissions, and Krav Maga versus my speed, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and some Marine Corps Martial Arts (adopted from my brother)... Sounds fun.

Challenge accepted!
