A few weeks back we ran a Twitter poll asking what you would like to see more of here on the blog and Fitness and Wrestling won the poll by quite the high percentage. We love reminiscing about our wrestling days and we enjoy telling stories, so the fact that you would like to hear them made us smile.
Over the past two years we have been busy at work on a book that bought together some of our most favourite wrestling memories, mixed with many delicious cupcake recipes we have concocted over the six years we have been in Louisville KY. The book is an on going project for us and we hope one day it will see the light of day. However, for now we thought it would be fun to start a fortnightly (or possibly every three weeks) post that shared a sneak peek at some of these stories to see what you guys think. If you like them then please let us know and we will continue to share! :) Without further ado, lets start at the beginning...

Entering the world of training at Ohio Valley Wrestling!
We would go on to spend three years under these conditions. Introducing the likes of James 'Moose' Thomas, Ali Vaez and Shiloh Jones to our list of mentors. Looking back on these crazy days we can only smile, and on the occasion shake our heads in disbelief. This kind of high intensity training could be rather overwhelming, from the physical drills themselves to the emotional toll of just trying to get 'it' but we are so thankful for our time at OVW. We often wonder if we could get back in the ring again and take 15 arm drags and hip tosses all in a row from people twice the size of us, our minds say 'hell yes' while our bodies cringe at the thought. :p Honestly though, we thoroughly enjoyed every 14 man tag match we had, every history lesson we were taught and every bump we took. We wouldn't change the bruises, sprained ankles or painful bouts of tennis elbow for the world!
It's you, luv.
