Challenges
At the end of the day people challenge you, you are not always going to want to accept the challenge but when you do, why the hell would the challenger just ignore you! I really don't get this, I've had a challenge from the same person twice and both I've accepted, the person has now blocked me as I've pulled him up on it. But I don't get why the hell people would issue a challenge in the first place when they haven't got any intention of actually wrestling. At the end of the day for whatever reason if you've changed your mind, say something, don't be an a hole and just ignore it! Rant over...but surely people like that shouldn't be allowed on here if all they want to do is play games!

Blocking should be reserved for guys who are pestering you at least once a week after having declined, egregious insults, threats – in other words, plain-old pains in the ass. Reckon it can be a real downer if one ends up on the "10 most blocked" list here simply for having looked at or asked a guy for a match. Maybe in your case, the man has a serious "approach-avoidance conflict' problem or is a 'butthole en excelsis,.' If you ever wander over my way, I'll wrestle you.

No idea what this guys problem was, it was at the point of asking he blocked me lol but to be honest given the behaviour I probably had a lucky escape in the long run, good that I know now rather than later! If I do wander over that way I will hold you to that mate...

For all we know, the guy could be a real nut case. Maybe good he had his "change of heart" when he did, rather than on the mats with you. While it's unlikely he could be a replay of "The Boston Strangler," he might have started tearing into you face with his fists or something equally crazy [I had a case of a guy from a different site some months back trying to go unduly rough on me, TRYING. He learned right quick what a sleeper is; and he's welcome to come back and take me on again.] They are out there.
More than likely he had been "bold" enough to engage you on line after he had few drinks to embolden himself; and after sobering up reverted to his likely intrinsic recluse nature. Maybe any recommendations about him or if he's been registered for a long time and no opponents could give you a clue. If he left his profile open to the public you could revisit it when not signed in or have an unblocked friend check it for you. OTOH, probably the best route is to just write it off as "Hasta la vista, baby.....That's life."

Good god, really! I really hope I never have any run ins like that, good job you can take care of yourself mate! I have written it off and am not about to let it ruin things, he did what he did for reasons unknown, he didn't want to divulge so good luck to him and yeah he's been on for a while had a couple of bouts but that's been it so I guess his thing isn't to actually meet people, at least I didn't waste my time and money going to meet him only to get blown out!

11/02/2017 8:53 PMAll is good---I got a 48-hour high from how I handled him – without injuring him – and he voluntarily no longer has his name on the list of guys claiming to have a fetish for fighting on that site. I would be happy if he wants to come here and take me on for a rematch, and for the instruction he had said he was seeking the last time.
