Well was up in Blackpool for a stag weekend. Had a great time, had lots of fun.

Looking round my B&B room, bunkbeds, small as a broom cupboard and above reception, it made me realise how lucky as a guy who can't host, we are that we have all these matrooms in this country. And of course, those chain hotels.

Hotel matches are always a good compromise when you can't access a matroom. Its a convenience. Now this isn't to say I don't enjoy hotel matches. Have had a lot of good matches in a hotel room. But I know with more space, (There's nothing more annoying then rolling off the mattress when you have your opponent in a killer hold and have to break) and not having to worry about the noise levels and furniture, the good matches would have been even tougher.

When I first joined this site and people said to me, "I don't do hotel meets only matrooms." I thought they were just being fussy, now I know where they are coming from. I would never rule out a hotel match and know I will have many more as you can have a great match in a hotel room, and the more I have done, the more tips I pick up on how to make it better. But I would also always pick a matroom over a hotel room.

So I guess I would say that I guess we all should appreciate how lucky we all are in the UK to have a choice of matrooms/rings.

PS: The Blackpool trip?

I didn't get any wrestling because the space just wasn't right.

Plus the strength of my hangovers each morning would have made me a very weak opponent. :-)
