Nice beefy heavyweight guy, great in gear. More pro fantasy stuff than subs. Reliable, easy to fix a meet and punctual. Highly Recommendad.

I was blessed to wrestle the legend of all legends from MF a few years back. He’s everything as advertised and then much more. Anyone with a chance to take him on do so for the match of your life on here

Wrestled this solid tough wrestler years back in New York City. Totally reliable, easy to fix meet, fun on and off mats! Would wrestle him again if given the chance! GOLD STAR Recommendation!!

It was really easy meeting up with DadWrestle. Communications between us was clear and we easily kept each other updated.

Once we hit the mats we had a very tough and fun wrestle. There was some weight difference between us and DadWrestle used this to his advantage. Yet he was safe right through the bout.

It is rare to meet someone on Meetfighters who is straight forward, sane and safe. I would recommend him whatever your age, build and experience.

Good to hook up with this muscled wrestler again! Looks great in his gear enjoys his time on the mats. Easy to fix a meet safe and sane. Roll on the next session! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

It was really nice to finally be able to meet.

We have been attempting to meet and finally been able to.

He is in great physique n great techniques. He is strong and he can take.

Great looking with his gear as well.

We were rolling for hours and it was a great time.

So glad we finally met and I am looking forward to wrestle again with him.

Outside of the mats he is nice and easy to hold a conversation

Now this is one wrestler not to miss! I was not sure what to expect. Fixing up the meet had been easy after a series of chats and messaging. What I found was a solidly muscled hunk, ready to take the bigger, older guy down, which he proceeded to do! Yes I got some submissions out of him but he quickly turned the tables and had me tapping out. Three hours of good, hard tough body contact wrestling...who could ask fr more? Safe, sane and able to judge his opponents level of skill, he is one of the toughest guys I have wrestled....a joy to fight! Added to that, he has a great sense of humour and looks amazing in his gear. I really hope this becomes a regular fixture! Hard to find enough superlatives to describe him, so its a PLATINUM STAR Recommendation!!

I have had the pleasure of meeting Paul several times, apart from being a well versed wrestler, he is respectful and knowledgeable.
Great to wrestle, great to chat to.
Highly recommended

Good to see this wrestler back on line! We have met over the years and had some good tussles! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

dadwrestle is a strong and feisty grappler. Always a good bout.

Nothing to say that hasn't been said already! This guy is simply ONE OF THE BEST! If you get the chance....wrestle him!
PLATINUM STAR Recommendation

Met this wrestling legend in the Walthamstow ring this morning. We almost missed each other due to a misudnerstanding but he dashed down and we had 1 hour of excellent wrestling. This man is an awesome wrestler. I just came out on top in the match but we almost had me out on several occassions. Brilliant mate - thanks for a great match. Obviously highly recommended!

After months if not years of chatting we fixed to meet in the ring. I then totally messed things up by getting the wrong start time!! Luckily the gods were on my side and I made it to Walthamstow quickly. Once there we took it straight to the ring! This is one tough, determined wrestler. Whatever I threw at him in attack he countered. Despite my weight and height advantage, he took the match. A rematch is promised so I hope to get my revenge! Totally reliable, fun on and off the mats. What more could you ask? 100% Gold Star Recommendation.

Had a great time with dadwrestle, well worth the long journey! Spent nearly 2 hours in the mat room and had lots of fun. He's strong, fit and taught me a thing or two! Highly recommended

This wrestler is a star! He actually travelled up to London for the day for our match. We had been chatting for some time, hoping that our free dates might coincide.....well today they did! A good few hours grappling, with a bit of coaching from me. This guy is much stronger than he appears and has the real heart to wrestle. Looks good in his gear. Despite still being what he thinks to be a rookie, he kept on coming back for more! What more can you ask of an opponent. I look forward to Round 2! Come on you guys in the SW....take him on!! GOLD STAR Recommendation

I have just noticed that there is no recommendation from me on this tip top wrestler's profile! So it's time to do something about it!
This was one of my all time favourite regular opponents a few years back when our paths crossed more regularly. Tall, strong and determined....even after unbroken defeats at my hands lol. Great host, fun on and off the mats. Great to see him still around. Because I am a totally useless boxer never tested that side of his fighting life. But he certainly looks the part in whatever gear he wears. GOLD STAR RECOMMENDATION! Top guy!

After a lot of chatting on line, wondering if our paths would ever cross, we had the chance of meeting here in UK. This is one feisty wrestler, ready for action as soon as I arrived. We had a good few hours rolling, trading holds, testing strength. He certainly looks the part in gear, with a solid, tough build......just what I like!! Totally safe and sane too. Off the mats he has a great sense of humour and is a perfect conversationalist. I'm working out how we fix Round 2 soon!! This is a recommendation that writes itself.....100% Platinum Star Recommendation.... a wrestler not to be missed!

Hardcore match!Yes, this match deserved the name...was a great mix of give and take...both had to give up in between...but we didn't pay the points afterwards. dadwrestle is really brutal and put me to sleep several times. was such a great experience getting ready toobe.he was the first opponent older than me. but he is an example that age says nothing. even though he said it was a draw I respectfully conceded him the win. yes..of course there will be a rematch soon...but then I'm already prepared

I met this wrestler for a 1on1 "hardcore" match (his description!) at Walthamstow. We had been chatting and trash talking about the meet for weeks! I wasn't disappointed! Nearly two hours of tough, rough action. I must say, he's much stronger than he looks. Yes, hes a mainly pro wrestler, but he took some battering from me. In the end England proved victorious over Germany, but I had to fight for it. We sweated it out in the ring....perfect way to spend an afternoon! This guy gets my GOLD STAR recommendation! I look forward to the rematch.

Dad and I met up in his awesome London flat years back and wrestled for hours. I remember lots of sweat, grunting, straining, and getting my ass thrown all over the mats. It was an awesome time. Dad was the consummate host. Not only was the wrestling fun, the conversation, too, was awesome–as if we'd known each other for years. You can't go wrong taking on this big man. Get ready to tap, tho, cuz this guy is strong.

I wrestled this stud a few years back when I had my own mats in London. We had one hell of a night's wrestling. I had been hoping he would make his way back to UK for a rematch....see if he can redeem the honours for the USA!! LOL Safe, sane, strong....what more can you ask! Total 100% GOLD STAR rating!

dadwrestle is a very feisty wrestler and a genial host. His size and incredible experience made him a real challenge but he was accommodating to my relative lack of technique and, as a consequence, we had a good, sweaty, long back and forth encounter. A genuinely decent bloke and an impressive wrestler; I recommend him.

Its sometimes quite hard to convince a lighter guy to wrestle. After a bit of chat we fixed on a date. We had a real blast!! Boxer v Wrestler! The guy has great upper body strength and biceps to be proud of! Totally safe and sane but with a born fighters aggression. He wasn't going to let me win simply because I was the bigger wrestler! We filled a good two sweaty hours with action. Subs on both sides, and some good body punches exchanged. If you get a challenge from this fighter...SAY YES! You will not regret it. He's learning fast, wrestlers. 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation. Roll on Round 2!
24/05/22
The long awaited rematch! After lots of on line trash talk we took to the ring at Walthamstow, and I have to own up to being totally outclassed! This great wrestler has beefed up and is as strong as an ox....a real treat to fight in the ring. Looking amazing in gear, he made me tap too often to recount. He left me aching for the chance to even the score! We just wrestled, but hes up for boxing too. This is one class act....fight him if you get the chance!

It was a wonderful pleasure to meet dad wrestle and both very similar build and age were able to perform heel v heel with much give and take during the bouts. Dad wrestle is recommended and we looking forward to our next meet.

I had the pleasure of wrestling this guy today! He was a generous host, picking me up at the train station. He's a big guy and we wrestled heel v heel. We raised a sweat and were on his mats for a couple of hours. Definitely a Gold Star Recommendation!

Paul is one of the true Gents of our sport, a legend who just keeps going. Wrestlers come and go but Paul has the history, you only have to look at his past opponents list to see his experience. Always safe and fun and an all round nice guy. If he aint on your past opponents list you've missed one of the best...

This guy is one of the stars of the UK wrestling world! Safe, sane, tough and skilled....what more can you ask for. Gracious host in the past, we have had some great mat and ring battles. This wrestler is simply one of the best! PLATINUM STAR RECOMMENDATION! Don't miss a chance of rolling with this guy.

Met dad wrestle again after a few years . Had a great tussle with this big guy .very strong and dominant ! He's very experienced and well travelled wrestler . I really enjoyed locking up with this guy ...and hope we can meet again in the near future ..can def recommend dad wrestle for a good strong wrestling bout ..and is very easy to get along with ...thanks Paul for a great afternoon of wrestling ! 😀

We agreed that it was far too many years ago for either of us to remember our previous bout! Today I had the privilege of wrestling this skilled star of the UK scene again. Don't be fooled by his size....this is one strong, tough wrestler! He had me well and truly tied up in knots, and the only subs I got off him I achieved by bending the rules (cheating!). A generous host, it was a good afternoon spent on his mats. I can't speak more highly of this guy, even if I did suffer a rather humiliating defeat at his hands. 100% PLATINUM RECOMMENDATION! Don't miss out on wrestling this man if he challenges you...you will have a great time!

I met Paul in Newcastle. He is a very strong powerful man who know's
lots of holds but was able to tone things right down so we were able to have a good wrestle. Off the mats he is great to chat with. I look forward
to our next meeting

At very short notice, after a brief chat, we fixed to meet. Totally up front about his physical limitation, he happily took on an opponent of my size! Safe, sane and prompt. We had a great evening exchanging holds. Whatever you do, do not underestimate this wrestler's strength and determination! Never let your guard drop, because he will be in there taking advantage. Off the mats, a fun conversationalist. I look forward to tussling with this guy again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
06/01/22
The rematch! Just as good a our first encounter!

Really nice guy and very enthusiastic wrestler ready to give you a good match. We have wrestled several times over the years and always enjoyed it. Safe and sensible as well as a good wrestle.

It is really good to see this wrestler with a live profile again. Years back we were regular opponents. He's tough and strong as his pics show and a really good guy to tangle with on the mats. Now he's back, I am looking forward to renewing our mat rivalry!! 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation

dad is great fun on mats, we wrestled a few years ago at a mats room, he is a very tough man, also a very friendly man off mats

Fought this guy years back! Hes called a "Bull" for a reason! Be ready for a tough, hard, technical match. 100% GOLD STAR RECOMMENDATION One of the best

Great wrestler. One of the best I met so far. I thought I will give Dadwrestler away and be gentle with him then within a second I was in trouble!! He definitely know the drill and meanwhile can make the session really enjoyable. He definately willing to accommodate the level of the opponent. Would definitely meet again. Lots skills you can learn from this guy. 👍👍👍

We had chatted a bit on line but it was a delight to lock up at a group meet at Barnet. I was not disappointed...this is one tough, fast wrestler. Great build, solidly made as his pics show. He brings to the mats determination and a real desire to learn. Our session were tough and full on, which we were both looking for all the mat time was enjoyable and safe. I REALLY look forward to locking up with this fine wrestler again soon! 100% PLATINUM Recommendation! A wrestler not to be missed!

I have wrestled this stud bear many times over the years! Every single time was a great match up. He never disappoints. Hope we can get together again soon! GOLD STAR RECOMMENDATION

I wrestled this guy so many times in the past, and every single occasion was a blast!! It's so good to see him back on the scene! Totally reliable, tough but fun to fight. Don't miss out on the chance to face him. 100% PLATINUM RECOMMENDATION!!!

I first met this man at a wrestling meet at the Rochdale ring in 2007 a very competent and tough wrestler he has forgotten more about Wrestling then I will ever know . I fully recommend him

Having missed the chance of wrestling this man when he had a spell in the UK, it was a real privilege to meet up with him on his home ground when I was on a wrestling tour of Australia! This is one strong, skilled and tough opponent who keeps it safe and sane but who brings 100% to the mats! Really looking forward to Round 2 once travel becomes a possibility again. Also, a most generous host. Platinum Start Recommendation! Don't miss out on wrestling this guy!

Met at Pippas on a group meet a couple of years ago.Much stronger than I am but a very fair,safe and sane session.

A few of my past opponents asked if I had been in touch with dadwrestle thinking that we might be a good match up, and were they ever right!!! Initially intimidated by his size and experience, I quickly realised I had nothing to worry about, as his focus is on having a good time, and we had such a good time that I did not notice the time flying by. Great build, strength, technical expertise, trash talk... all the ingredients for a proper dad/son, vet/rookie, heel/jobber fantasy and he made sure I knew my place in the end!!! Definitely want to get in some more bouts with this stud and would highly recommend to anyone!

It was a real pleasure to be able to fix a meet with this wrestler during his stay here in UK. It was very easy to arrange. He was spot on time! But all that is preparatory to saying that he delivered 100% on the mats.We had two hours of wrestling, and, as others have said, this guy is much stronger than he thinks he is! A great back and forth bout, testing each other out. The old veteran came out on top, but he had to fight for it!! Looks great in his gear too. Off the mats, good conversation and a great sense of humour. Perfect way to spend a Friday afternoon! I just hope we can fit in the return bout SOON! 100% GOLD STAR recommendation....dont miss your chance to fight this man!

Had a great meeting after alot of chatting. He definitely knows his stuff and had me locked up alot - very safe despite the difference in stats. Would meet again :)

27/08/21
After a gap caused by Covid, we managed to snatch an hour or so wrestling on my recent visit to Lincolnshire. Tony has not wasted lockdown! Biceps like steel and a mean side headlock. Always a pleasure to tangle with this guy!
11/05/18
After a long gap, in which we kept missing each other, we snatched a quick hour on the mats. Great as ever to wrestle, and "little" Tony has beefed up! Nice strong counter attacks despite the weight difference. Don't miss your chance of wrestling this guy. You won't be disappointed! 100% RECOMMENDED!
15/08/16
Impromptu tussle with this "little" powerhouse today! He's put on some muscle since out last meet, and uses it to effect! Despite the considerable weight difference,this wrestler just keeps on coming back for more. Great fun to be with, on and off the mats! Roll on the next time!
After ages chatting on line we finally got to meet up at Barnet. Despite weight difference we had a great set to on the mats. Reliable, safe, sane and fun. Watch out for the choke! He might call himself "little" but he is determined and kept on coming back for more! Really enjoyed my time on mats with this wrestler. Give him a go...he's learning fast! Highly recommended!

I tried the Dadwrestle school of wrestling this weekend, and got well and truly schooled! As has been said many times before this big man is an incredible wrestler, he has a counter manoeuvre for whatever you try on him, and is always two or three moves ahead of what you’re thinking. Off the mats he is the nicest guy you will ever meet and a great conversationalist. I’m already looking forward to the next time we meet, I just need to recover from the Mr Bader impression first!
21/08/21
Round Two was even better than the first against this legend of the mats. Although he still had the upper hand, it was a bit more evenly matched this time. As ever, off the mats he was his usual gracious and friendly self. Already looking forward to the next time

Had my first ( I hope the first of many!! ) session on the mats with this great guy! This is one strong, tough, tenacious heavyweight! A delight to wrestle! Immensely hospitable, it was easy to set up the meet. We were on the mats for over three hours, but the time flew by. He has amazing upper body strength which he uses to advantage! Also, for a relative rookie, he's learning fast! Safe and sane at all times. This is the sort of wrestler you hope to meet. I have no hesitation is saying this is a PLATINUM STAR 100% recommendation. If he challenges you, ACCEPT!
21/08/21
Round 2!!! Damn, this wrestler is learning too fast...even using some of my tricks on me! A perfect weekend of wrestling; dreadful weather, so no need to go out, just stay put and wrestle! Great host and a wrestler who just keeps coming back for more!

Awesome meet up, put up a great fight and learned a fair bit along the way. Would defo recommend a wrestle if you get the chance; don't let your guard down though because he'll have you on your back before you know it.
Top gent off the mat too with a good time spent trading stories.

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting this big man on a quick visit to the NE of UK! Let me say for starters, the pics do not lie! This is one built heavyweight who looks the part and delivers on the mats. He has awesome upper body strength....watch out for his arms! Despite an injured hand, he was ready to rumble. The action was fast and furious, with submissions on both sides. He is that perfect opponent who can be a good defensive wrestler, but can turn the tables in a flash to take the offensive position. Off the mats, he a has a great sense of humour and is fun to chat with, before the battle resumes! What a great addition to the heavyweights here in UK! Without doubt, this is a 100% PLATINUM STAR RECOMMENDATION!

Having known Dadwrestle for many years, and wrestled him at several group meetings, he recently came to my place. Each time we've met, we've both got down to a good hard-fought contest, then looked forward to the next match, rather than writing about it. The time has come to put that right. For the benefit of others thinking about wrestling him, I can report that our matches are always an energetic workout, safe and sane with mutual respect and lots of sweat! Highly recommended.

I am really not sure why I have never written a recommendation for this legend of the UK wrestling scene! We have wrestled regularly in the past. This is one class act! He's strong, well built and skilled both as Brit Pro and submission. A meet with him is always safe, sane, fun and a challenge! I can't speak too highly of him! If you get a chance, wrestle this man! 100% PLATINUM RECOMMENDATION.....one of the best!

I had a session on the mats at the Barnet meet yesterday with this feisty newcomer! Despite the weight difference, he was game to step on the mats with me. He's strong and determined, and very quickly was picking up and executing moves. This guy is going to prove to be a fast, capable wrestler! He looks great in his gear too! If you get the chance, take him on. You won't regret it! Off the mats, he is engaging and fun to chat with. All in all, a 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation. I look forward to wrestling him again.

Well this has been a long time coming. Dadwrestle, the legend that is, actually came to my home to wrestle, an honour.
we got down to it and we had a hot sweaty wrestle. strong and a man mountain.
He is everything every recommendation has said on his long list of opponents.
subs , pins the lot.
just keep wrestling mate , you are the top.

I have been trying to think of a word to describe this wrestler, and it's FIREPLUG! This is one of the strongest guys I have ever encountered on the mats. He might not be tall but he makes up for it in raw power! This was a last minute arrangement after months if not years, of chatting. He's a gracious host and it was easy to arrange things. Our battle was fast and furious, and I have to own that he took more subs than me. Safe, sane, tough and a perfect opponent. I enjoyed every minute of our meet, which i hope will be the first of many. 110% PLATINUM Recommendation!

Have met Dadwrestle a few times now and each time as enjoyable as the time before.
Possibly one of the first wrestlers I had ever met from the Southern Region so always a North/South divide and battle between us, which is great for us.
A great guy who can be very wicked when he needs to be.
No hesitation in meeting. Rematches are definatley on the cards. Until next time.

Really great guy! We have wrestled in the past! He's a tough cookie with lots of pro tricks up his sleeve. Safe, sane, fun ad skilled! Roll on our next battle! 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation
July 2021
The feud is gaining in intensity! Next stage is a falls count anywhere brawl in the ring!

July 2021
I had the chance to meet and roll with this lovely guy on a trip up to the NE! Easy to make arrangements and fix style of the meet. Safe and sane, too! An added extra was the chance to order some new gear from this amazing stylist! He seems to be able to conjure up whatever you want in the way of wrestling accoutrements !! What a great gift to the wrestling world! 100% GOLD STAR recommendation

I got to the meet at pippas got changed and was challenged immediately I had no hesitation in saying yes we hit the mats I wrestled my best but he was more experienced but the match was good safe an sane an I managed to use the moves I've learnt after the match we agreed to another later on in the meet a great guy an was glad I agreed to wrestle him would recommend him to anyone for a match hope we can meet up soon for another match

26/09/19
A chance to take on this amazing wrestler on his own mats in the North EAST! Extraordinary how he fights bigger guys like me. We had a good hour and a half of full on subs wrestling! Could not have been better. He so resilient! I look forward to testing him out again on the South Shields mats!
I am always surprised when much smaller guys agree to wrestle me! There was no hesitation at all in this case! We hit the mats a few times during a meet in Manchester. This guy came at me with all he had and was determined that he brought a real fight to the mats. Safe, sane and determined. A feisty wrestler! Hope to meet up with him again SOON! 100% GOLD STAR recommendation!
July 2021
Had the chance to head up to the NE so couldn't resist the chance to take on this beast on his mats! He's put on some pounds, which is hot! The encounter was as fun as ever!! Roll on my next visit north!

It was a great honour to have the opportunity to spar with this wrestling legend. A genuine and friendly guy who immediately put me at my ease. Took me through a whole range of basic moves and holds allowing me to test my strength against his powerful body and to see just how it felt to wrestle a real pro. I knew I was in safe hands and he made it great fun and all seem so easy but make no mistake this one heck of a tough strong guy. Can't recommend him enough especially to anyone just starting out. Thanks a million.

I had the pleasure of meeting this guy when I was up in the North West! He's new to to the world of wrestling, but is keen to get on the mats. We chatted a fair deal before we met as, unsurprisingly, he was nervous about taking on a much heavier guy. We had a good few hours exchanging holds and testing each other out! Don't be fooled by his size....he's strong and tough, a resilient guy! I look forward to meeting him again. He will prove to be a worthy opponent for a wrestler of similar weight. GOLD STAR recommendation.

Met this man mountain years back at a Clash meet in USA! Nicest guy out, but as tough as nails and can take anything you throw at him! We have been talking a rematch since, but never been able to fix it so we are in the same place at the same time. BUT the challenge is still on. This is one top class wrestler! Don't miss your chance to take him on!! GOLD STAR Recommendation!

He's quick for a big fella and was all over me in my matroom, I imagine given more space he would royally work me over, but he did manage to get me down and let me have it, hehe.

Well this cocky stud just took on more than he could chew when he faced me! Lots of trash talk before hand about what he was going to do to me! I let him think he could dominate me...then showed him who was indeed "the dad"...nicely humiliated! Now he's back, still talking big! Well, the rematch will prove who is the alpha wrestler! BRING IT ON!

Fantastic guy, very experienced and strong wrestler. Highly recommend!

Every now and again you seem to run out of superlatives when describing a new opponent! Londonmeet might be new to the wrestling scene, but he is a natural. Tall, with a a tight, hard muscled body, he is fast and furious on the mats. In the few hours we wrestled he displayed his ability to learn fast and turn your favourite holds back on you.....to good effect! Like the Duracel bunny....he kept on coming back for more....and more! In fact...the perfect opponent. Add to that, he is a handsome guy who looks at his best in gear. Easy to make arrangements with and punctual. Safe, sane and a real bull strength wise. I hope to have many more mat sessions with this awesome guy! 100% PLATINUM RECOMMENDATION!

14 May 2021
New season starts with a tussle with dadwrestle. Good workout and I picked up a few tips to refine some of my moves too. I made him work for positioning and we had a good laugh at the same time (during the intensity of course !!).

Paul is a great guy to wrestle. Good fun too. Never a dull moment. You won't be disappointed.

What better way to get back in action than to face this guy on the mats! We rolled an hour or two, and he proved the tough strong opponent he always was.
06/08/19
Was it three years since our last bout? If it was, it was my fault for not chasing up this star of the mats. He's beefier now than I remembered, but still one hell of a class act on the mats! It won't be so long before the rematch, I hope!
29/12/16
After a long break, met up again with this wrestler at Barnet mat room. He's looking good as ever in gear, with a great physique, especially his arms. We had a good, fun, sweaty roll for an hour or two! Was great to lock up again after all this time!
This is one great guy to wrestle! We have met regularly over the years. Tough, strong, reliable, hes a skilled wrestler who enjoys the struggle on the mats. HIGHLY recommended!

I wrestled with this big man many times and our matches were very intensive and long. We fight to see who was the best and nobody wone. He is very handsome and good fighter. I want meet him another time

We had several meetings and always a great time with this tough and handsome guy. Cant wait for our next clash on the mats. Highly Recommendation

I have met this tough guy a few times over the years in a variety of places! Safe and sane, he is a tough, strong opponent who always brings his best game to the mats. Always easy to fix meets. GOLD STAR Recommendation

Met several years back in New York. Was an honor then to take on an iconic legend and will be the same when we have our eventual rematch. Great guy, easy to set up and just all around fun. Hard to ask for anything more. A 5 star opponent. Double thumbs up to Dad👍👍

Met this great wrestler some years ago now in NYC. Easy to arrange the meet; on time; safe, sane and tough! We have kept in touch since, hoping to get the rematch fixed at some stage. Good sweaty, intense match up. What more could you ask? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Have met this gentle giant a few times now. An experienced, safe wrestler with loads of stamina who is happy to work at my level but ready to remind me, with a subtle change in hold and/or pressure, who is in charge. Can’t recommend enough and look forward to further meets.

Had some really great tussles with this guy at meets in Manchester! A tough, defensive wrestler who gives it everything hes got on the mats. Also a great asset to the wrestling world in the way he took on organising meets so efficiently and well. He come with a 100% GOLD STAR recommendation fro me!

Powerful guy who can use his great weight to pin you down. Great and welcoming guy too.

This is one strong guy, as you can see from his pics! If you get the chance, wrestle him. I am looking forward to the rematch! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Met up with this wrestler when he was visiting Houston. He was totally accomodating since he is a more advanced wrestler than I am. We traded many holds and I did most of the tapping out. Had a great time meeting up and hope to meet up again to continue where we left off. I recommend meeting up with Dadwrestle whenever possible. Great fun!

Great to see this feisty wrestler back on Meetfighters!! We met on one of my visits to Houston a few years back. I cannot recommend this wrestler too highly! Easy to arrange the meet. Punctual and a blast on the mats! He is at the top of my list for a rematch if I ever get back to Houston! Off mats, great conversation. Fun all round. 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation!

I have met dadwrestle a few times he is a great wrestle strong and hard
Also good looking man in his gear
Really liked our bouts
Rough and both out to win
Excellent bout
Would recommend him to anyone

One tough guy! We have wrestled in the past on a few occasions when our paths have crossed! A determined wrestler, strong and rough when he needs to be. Looks the part in gear! Hoping our paths cross again soon! Highly Recommended

Ah how times change! Years ago as a rookie wrestler when this evil heel was in his pomp he bullied me mercilessly (as a proper heel should). But revenge is sweet and best served cold. Yesterday he put up a good fight, but was my plaything and I made him suffer (Had I known he was going to describe me as a behemoth he would have suffered even more)! A character, out of Agatha Christie (One of the more upper class ones naturally) !
Great sense of humour and very easy to talk to. The dear jobber has my highest recommendation!

May 2015-
As he said its been years, dad has lost none of his enthusiasm for the sport. He is a skilled strong and agile heavyweight who can hold his own against the best of them. As a person he is very funny, sociable guy who wants to wrestle everyone in the room. I was impressed by his fitness & stamina & asked him about his regime, it is unorthodox … ie. there is't one. But it certainly works (He was constantly on the mats, in fact possibly spent more time on them than anyone else present & there were some young guns at the meet)
He was first person who ever challenged me to a wrestling match & I still remember the excitement I felt that day 10 years ago when I received it.
If you don't like coming to the meets & your fed up with people wasting your time with the usual lame excuses & cancellations , or a foreign visitor with limited time, want a safe, sane, genuine submission bout with a heavyweight opponent c/w heel tendencies, give him a shout. He won't let you down.
April 2013-
One of the great Characters of British Wrestling, big strong skilled , a heel from central casting
But safe & sane
Formerly Mauler Paul which describes his wrestling style, pity he doesn't use that name ( its just so HIM!! LOL) When I first started out, he was one of the people who befriended & encouraged me & is one of the nicest & funniest people you can meet. He won't waste your time. you must wrestle him.

04/01/20
Its been a long time since we last wrestled! Have to admit that in a brief tussle at a group meet in Manchester this behemoth proved he was the better guy!! As he said, he now claims the Heavyweight title! GOLD STAR recommendation for this great wrestler!
2/5/15
Its been YEARS since I was able to face up to this heavyweight on the mats! Chance came yesterday at a group meet in Barnet! Honours were even I reckon! BUT this guy has developed his skills since we last met up and is a real monster on the mats. Weve agreed we need another meet! SOONER THE BETTER!
No idea why I haven't done this before! Tanker is an old wrestling foe LOL! He looks great in gear and is tough in the ring or on the mats. He's thoroughly reliable,strong, safe and sane. he has lots of experience and is a fun guy to be around. WRESTLE HIM!

17/6/17
4th meet with this solid wrestler and now good friend, he's still as tough and totally unpredictable which keeps me on my toes and always makes for a good wrestle.
Here's to round 5
19/4/17
Always great locking up with this great wrestler, he never disappoints. Just as tough and strong as ever. I must've caught him off guard this time but I'm sure he'll make me pay tenfold next time and I can't wait for that. Off the mats he's great company and I hope we have many more meets in the future, as always 100% recommendation from me.
26/1/17
Had the pleasure of meeting up with Dadwrestle on his trip north and boy did it not disappoint, with a two hour rough and tumble session, I soon found myself out of my league, he's one tough fella but safe and sane, even managed a few pints afterwards making for a very enjoyable evening
100% recommendation from me.

Met Paul at the group meet at Manchester and it was a great start to a great group meet. He is a very strong, experienced grappler who give me a hard but very enjoyable grapple. He can go from standing smiling and chatting with you to pinning you down in a blink of an eye, very impressive for a big guy. 100% recommend this safe and sane wrestler, look forward to meeting again in the future.

4/01/20
GREAT to see this guy back in action!
13/08/17
What's there not to like? Great repeat session on the mats at a meet at Pippas! I would never turn down a tussle with this guy. Watch out too, he's learning. When he's got your relaxed, he's in there with a quick submission!
17/06/17
Met again at a Manchester meet! What a star guy! Cheeky grin is deceptive....watch out....hes learning fast! Gold Star 100% Recommendation!
19/04/17
Had another chance of getting this Newcastle wrestler on the mats! He's a cheeky guy, who is fast learning his trade as a wrestler. Strong, determined and never stops keeping coming back for more! Great fun to wrestle. Yes, he got a sub off me, I have to admit it. But it won't be so easy next time!
26/1/17
Had the chance to lock up again with this lovely guy on a visit to the North East! We had a good few hours of tussle, which was a great experience! He's as strong as ever....don't be fooled by the innocent smile! He's a toughy! Roll on my next visit north!
A newbie he might be, but this is one strong, tough, fun guy to hit the mats with!! We met at a meet in Manchester and it was the first session for both of us! It was a perfect beginning to a great day. He learns quickly and is no pushover!! I look forward to facing up to this wrestler again.....as soon as possible. Safe, sane and fun, on and off the mats. 100% Recommendation here!

14/12/2109 - Had the great pleasure of meeting dadwrestle at the group meet at Pippa's. What a guy. Was definitely looking forward locking horns with this big guy and was not disappointed. Very strong guy with a great physique. Had a good wrestle with him and later a gut punch session where we were evenly matched. He can certainly take some hard punches. All in all a very enjoyable encounter. Certainly looking forward to meeting him again and preferably in the ring. A charming man off the mats as well. Highly recommended.

Now there are some legends on this site who I have really wanted to wrestle! This guy is one of them! We finally got to hit the mats at a group meet in Manchester. The photos do not lie! This is one awesome physique! We had two sessions; one a submission grapple; the other, a gut punching session. Both were some of the best experiences I have had. Thank you, mate! If you get the chance, take this man on. You will not regret it! 100% PLATINUM STAR Recommendation

Tough guy this. Had a great grapple with him. Don't give him an inch because he will take a mile. Had me sweating in no time and fighting hard. Very friendly bloke off the mats but you can forget that when the match starts. Shows no mercy. He's great with the verbals too. Awesome opponant.

WOW! Got my arse kicked by this great wrestler at a group meet in Manchester! What a great guy! Good, solid muscled physique; looks amazing in his gear. Perfect attitude on the mats, tough, aggressive, safe and sane. What more could you ask? He certainly underestimates his skill level. He is a natural wrestler! One of the best submission sessions I have ever had. I really hope that Round 2 happens soon, and that we have more time. This guy is a real star. If you get the chance, wrestle him! 100% PLATINUM STAR Recommendation

14/12/19 met dadwrestle at a group meet at pippas, started with a ring Pro match which was awesome, and in matroom later, this guy is brilliant, can't wait to meet again, highly recommend by Ripper Roger

I have never really rated my skills as a pro wrestler, but when this guy challenged me to a ring bout at a group meet in Manchester I thought "Well, what the hell, let's give it a go"! It was a David v Goliath match weight wise, and Goliath came out on top LOL! This guy can certainly take a beating with style! He sold perfectly. We went for a 2 falls, 2 submissions or a KO bout. Good old style Brit Pro. I have to admit, I had a blast, which was totally due to this amazing pro style skills. I hoe Round 2 happens soon! I think this "goodguy" might just have unleashed the pro heel in me! 100% PLATINUM STAR Recommendation

After quite a bit of chat we managed to bridge the north/south divide and meet at a group meet in Manchester. I certainly wasn't disappointed! He lives up to his profile. tough and rough, he fought back as I brought my best game to beat him down. Sane and safe, but clearly up for a good, hard scrap. Pity was we didn't get to have the second session we wanted; weather and the train defeated us! But Round 2 will happen! 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation!

Oct. 2019

It was such a great pleasure to wrestle dadwrestle again !!! He was as aggressive as I remember and even more seasoned --- and --- better than the first couple of times we wrestled when I visited London six years ago. It was really too bad we waited this long time before we met again --- and hopefully we will not wait as much till the next time !!!

9/26/2013

If you were in London and failed to wrestle this man, you have no idea what you have missed.
The name, "dadwrestle" says it all: he is a dad type who genuinely likes to wrestle. (Can it get any better ?!...) His enthusiasm on the mats is overwhelming, with aggression to match it !!! Indeed, he is aggressive, but in an immensely pleasant and exciting way. He is NOT disrespectful by any means. The fact that he never backs up from challenges, and gets quite creative when he wrestles, is a part of the fun game. Furthermore, there is a lot more to him than just wrestling. He is a true classy English Gentleman, with playful and intelligent wit, which tremendously enhances not only the wrestling encounter, but also the whole experience of meeting him and getting to know him. If you were lucky enough to experience and appreciate this side of his character, you might understand why he is this popular, as evident from all the raving reviews he has received. Must I be redundant and emphasize that regardless your skill level, age, and size, you should not miss the opportunity to meet "dadwrestle" on the mats (and perhaps off the mats), by any means !!!

16/10/19
On one of his rare visits to UK we managed to snatch a two hour session on the Barnet mats! Action packed match up, this wrestler has lost none of his speed, strength and ability!! It was a pleasure hitting the mats again! This wrestler never disappoints.
I first noticed this guy's pics! Then we got chatting. Then a trip to UK was planned, and it all rolled out from there. But the pics only told half the story! Here is a pocket tank of a wrestler, well built, solid, muscled. He's skilled, fast and determined on the mats, eager to teach and coach and share his expertise. He is 100% reliable, safe and sane. Off the mats he is sociable and full of knowledge. He has wide interests, and loves to chat and get to know his opponent.
Watch out, this is one HOT wrestler! Accept his challenge when it comes!

I’ve been chatting with this legend of the UK wrestling scene for ages. It was great to finally meet up with him in person. He was the first guy to take me on at a recent group meet at Pippa’s. Needless to say, he had the definite edge on the mats but it was a great battle. It was a pleasure socializing with him at the group dinner that evening. Highly recommended.

After chatting for literally years, I had the real pleasure of meeting and at last wrestling this great guy! We hit the mats at a group meet in Manchester. As expected, this is one classy guy. He looked great in gear and delivered a close, tough submission match. I only had the one go with him, but certainly look forward to his next UK trip for the rematch! Safe, sane but about all a fun and skilled wrestler! If he challenges you, accept. You wont be disappointed! 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation!

Wow!. That's all I can say after wrestling this very strong, firstly and firey opponent!. Had the privilege of wrestling this guy at the meet in Manchester and oh boy, he did not dissapoint!. We had a really tough, rough, sweaty bout which for me is a good challenge and I loved every minute of our match!. Subs were hard to get but the challenge this strong, experienced wrestled presented, I relished.
He's a really great guy off the mats but very safe and sane on the mats with good aggression!.
Thanks for an awesome match!, 100% gold recommendation for you too! Looking forward to match no2. Definitely challenge this wrestler, you'll have a great match!.

Manchester 12th October

Update

Rounds 2 and 3 at the meet were as awesome as our first encounter!, rough, tough, sweaty with good aggression ( safe n sane ) exactly how I like my match!.
I really enjoyed our 2 bouts and this wrestler is one tough cookie!, I really had to work hard to get submissions!.
I recommend this guy 100% too and I look forward to our next tough encounter!

12/10/19
Rounds 2 & 3! I help manage to clear him of an early morning headache by taking this stud of a wrestler to the mats early on in a meet in Manchester! He showed no signs of ill effects!! Great tough, rough, sane sessions with subs on both sides. You couldn't ask for more! I just love wrestling this man!
This is one tough, determined strong wrestler!! Was delighted to be able to lock up with him at a meet in Manchester! Looks great in his singlet but don't let that distract you! He will be after the first submission as soon as you hit the mats. Safe and sane, goes without saying. If he challenges you, say yes....you won't regret it! You will have a blast. 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation

Finally got to meet up with DadWrestle and it was worth the wait! He’s a tough and brutal guy on the mats, yet a gentleman off. He can take a beating and give one right back, and then some. A great opponent all around. There’ll be a rematch in the future because there are still some things to settle!

Sometimes pictures can lie, but in this case they don't! And indeed, the reality in the flesh is even better!! After a short exchange of messages, we managed a brief but full on wrestle before a business dinner. I wouldn't have missed this match for the world. Strong, tough and imaginative, this was one fun, exhausting battle. He also looks great in his gear. Safe and sane on the mats; off a good guy to chat with. Roll on a return visit! 100% PLATINUM Recommendation.

Don't know why it took so long to meet Paul. Don't let his name and age put you off, he is a gentleman on and off the mats and he has a mean headscissors. Highly recommended.

Round 2 today, second match of the day for me so I thought I'd be too tired but Paul made me feel at home and we started wrestling straight away as I walked through the door. More scissors on me and he can squeeze!

Round 3 in the ring at Pippas and Paul took me on in the Pro ring for a Pro wrestle. He is still a great wrestler 👍

12/10/19
Pippas ring at Manchester I had chance to face this Pro star! Pro is not my favoured style, but couldn't resist the sight of him leaning back into a cornerpost taunting guys to face him! Fun session....he knows his stuff!
Good, tough session tonight! This wrestler has powerful thighs so watch out for his head scissors! Hr just keeps on coming back for more! Fun on and off the mats.
We finally got to hit the mats today! Great guy!! Eager to wrestle, strong legs put to good use in scissor holds. Safe, sane and reliable. Looks good in his gear, too. Highly recommended!! Hope round 2 is not too long in coming!!

Great and fun "big vs. small" match with dadwrestle. I had to do my quickest moves to avoid being trapped under him, and place a hold on this guy. Lovely person to talk to also. Thanks for this nice bout ! See you soon :-)

As we climbed into the ring this guy commented "This is David v Goliath"! It was true, even to the end of the story! Despite the huge height and weight difference this was a great match up! It was like wrestling with an eel! Fast and skilled, this wrestler is a superb opponent! Whatever I went for, he countered and slid out. Off the mats, he was fun to be with, with a strong sense of humour. He looks good in his gear too! Roll on a rematch! 100% PLATINUM Recommendation!

Dad made me feel very welcome as soon as I walked, through the doors at my first meet. Within no time we had got in one of the mat rooms and were checking each other out. Dad's reputation precedes him so I knew he was good and could handle a rough match plus he is a sturdy man who looks good in his gear.

I got to work straight away with headlocks and chokes, but the big guy got some taps from me. I got my scissors around his neck a few times too. Dad's gut is also just calling out to be punched.... hard, so I did, many times whilst he was under me. 😉

Dad is a great guy and I enjoyed meeting and showing him what I can do. Roll on round 2 big man 😎

Now here is one classy bear! I have to admit that I TOTALLY underestimated this wrestler. He's probably one of the strongest guys I have ever wrestled. He's safe and sane, but delivers a tough, aggressive bout with ease. Beware the signature move! The chokehold is applied with swiftness and deadly accuracy. LOL its a killer! He also bring an obvious skill level to the mats which is great to experience. In gear, he certainly looks the part, with a big strong, beefy physique. This was one of those meets that I will long remember! No doubt about it 100% PLATINUM Recommendation. If you get the chance, wrestle him!

Have also known Paul for a number of years at the group events,we have also had great matches and he is also great to talk to both on and off the mats.looking forward to having another match in the future.

05/10/19
Had my best bout ever with this big lad at a meet in Manchester! He's always up for a good Brit Pro tough action scrap! GREAT fun!
Great lad! Will take anyone on! Always good for a chat after a bout! We have wrestled at meets for years now, and its always fun and safe! Highly Recommended!

I can only reiterate Paul's very kind words. After what seemed like an immeasurable length of time, I finally got to meet this tough wrestler who knows his holds and moves, and predicts your next one. He's not in the top ten recommendations list for nothing, he's met some very worthy opponents, and I feel honoured to be added to the ever growing list. Make no mistake Paul is strong, capable of bouncing me around the mats, but I (just) managed to hold my own for some of a long and enjoyable session. Round 2 is definitely on the cards. Those that haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting this guy, do it. I promise there'll be no regrets.

05/10/19
Long gap to arrange Round 2, but a meet in Manchester gave us the opportunity! Same amazing physique and strength. Tough and feisty against a bigger opponent. What more could you ask of an opponent? Don't be distracted by the winning smile, either LOL!
I had one of those wrestling meets today that makes the whole game worthwhile! We had been chatting for years and not been able to set up a meet. Today's meet was easily arranged. This is one first class wrestler! Not only that, off the mats hes fun to be with, with excellent conversation. On the mats he's strong (don't be fooled by his weight and tight, muscled physique!) and determined. Watch out for his arms, too! He has a powerful defense that soon turns into a well planned attack! We had a good few hours of give and take. He dishes out and takes in equal measure! There were submissions from us both. I can't wait for Round 2! Gold Star 100% recommended!

Great guy,polite and easy going and despite the size difference we had a great match. if you get chance of a match with this guy take it.

Wrestled this tough lightweight a year or so back now! He loves his wrestling and is strong and determined! Well worth meeting up for a match if he challenges you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

6/10/18 I had the great pleasure of meeting up with and wrestling Dadwrestle at the Pippa's meet. It was as much fun as ever and he puts as much into a match as a much younger man. I love the bloke!

The agreed rule was "no headshots" and we both took full advantage of the lack of other rules.

This is a tough man and he took every blow that I gave him (including one accidental punch to the back of his head).

I'd recommend Paul to anyone; especially if they are after a rough NHB match. He can give it out and take it.

May 23rd; Round two. Another bruising encounter with Paul. he must enjoy a pounding from these Geordie fists as he keeps coming back for more. And more. I had a great time and repeat that I'd recommend him to anyone for a NHB fight.

21/April/2015 My latest meet with Paul and another great match. Starting as soon as we got in his room we fought for a couple of hours with the same NHB rules. I'll admit to being sore afterwards but it was well worth it. He is one of the stars of this site and gets a 100% recommendation from me.

13/August/2016 - a long awaited meeting with Paul at Pippa's today at John's meet. It's always good to see him and, of course, to fight him. A match in the ring was followed later by a too brief 3way tag match. I must be doing something right as I finally managed to stop him getting on top of me and I think i actually got him to submit. Of course I could be imagining that! Thanks again Paul mate.
28/1/2017 Round 5 (I think) and the best yet. That is mainly because I finally and definitely got the tough bugger to sub. We had a good, fun match with subs on both sides. It is always a pleasure to meet Paul whether socially or to wrestle and look forward to our next meeting.
13/8/17 it was really great to see Paul again and even better to get another bout with him amid his busy schedule. He is still as feisty as ever and still prone to use dirty moves. Tugging on my beard was almost unforgiveable. LOL but I did.

24/9/19 Another meet with this star of Meetfighters. He is cracking on a bit now so Isn't as good as he was but.....ha ha, no, it was an excellent meet and he has learned a few dirty tricks since we last met. I had to batter him to put him in his place and I hope he isn't too bruised (he would have done the same to me though). It was literally delightful to meet up again; it has been too long. Thanks mate.

24/09/19
An early birthday gift was meeting up with the "Beast from the North"! He hoped I would be bruised. Sadly, his fist taps have left no marks at all! BUT I do have to admit, I got my arse well and truly kicked by this awesome guy! Safe 'n sane but as tough as hell, I had to use every dirty trick in my considerable repertoire to get the two subs I did get! Its a total pleasure to count this man as one of my best wrestling friends!! If you get the chance, MEET HIM!
06/10/18
One of the best guys on the circuit! No need to say any more!
13/08/17
Phew! Tough n rough as ever! Great scrap at a Manchester meet! This is one, hot wrestler! I know now that I have met my match with him! But I shall keep on coming back for more! Off the mats, as always, fun to be with!
28/1/17
Had to face this scrapper on his own turf! He's beefed up and trains regularly, so is even more of a handful than he was before! AS ALWAYS a hot, hard , fun fight. He had the upper hand early in the fight but I evened things up a bit as time wore on. I got in some good body punches, I am glad to say! This is one great, regular, exciting grappler who always delivers on the mats. Off the mats, he is the best tour guide out! This Tynesider gets the highest recommendation I can give! Platinum Star 100% Recommended!
ROUND 3:
Just as good, if not better, than our other fights! This is a wrestler who loves to get down to it...as I do! He is muscled and strong, and packs a good punch. We were both pretty knackered by the end of the fight, as it should be. This is one of the guys from this site who I most enjoy taking on. Its an intense session but fun. Off the mats, the conversation flows! Roll on Round 4!!

ROUND 2: Have to admit, this was an even better session than the first AND I have to admit I was beaten this time by the better man! Long hard sweaty full on scrap! Some great knees to the gut from him to me too! 100% genuine guy! Wrestles to agreed rules, safe n sane. GREAT GUY all round, on and off mats!

This was one of the best fights I've had! This guy has a great physique; broad shouldered, well muscled, strong! We agreed rules and fought by them. He punches HARD!!! he turned up exactly when he said he would; safe, sane reliable. fun guy off mats, really tough, mean and intense on them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We plan to fight again SOON!

It's a few years back that I took on this formidable, skilled wrestler! It was a great match of strength, endurance and wrestling ability. Certainly one of the best wrestlers I have ever encountered! 100% Gold Star Recommendation!

ROUND 2
This time we met at the matroom in Barnet. Said he'd go rougher and harder on me this time after all the taunts I'd sent him in messages... And he did. Didn't even give me a chance to get into my gear. Instead, I was immediately put into various standing locks before being forced on the floor. And the next several hours were me trying to break out of his holds. I've got a reasonable amount of strength but Dad wore it all out of me. Mind you he did thump his fists into my gut and chest and back on dozens of occasions. Managed to get a few locks on Dad but he powered out of them easily. By the end of the match I physically couldn't take anymore, I was totally drained. His bear hugs and scissors are insanely tight. Amazed by how expert this man is on the mats, but I enjoyed every second. Left with a lot of aches and bruises after but I wouldn't trade them! I taunt him because of our age difference but he showed me who the tougher man was today. Definitely up for Round 3.

I didn't go into this wrestle as a jobber but I felt like one after leaving. I put up a good fight (I think) considering I massively underestimated his strength. Whilst I was able to apply some holds they didn't have much of an effect. Saying that.... I didn't make it easy for Dad to force me to tap. The leg scissors across my head and then my torso wore me right down but the arm locks became quickly unbearable. Determined to get a tap from Dad next time. I'll definitely be more prepared.

06/09/19
Round 2! This time upwards of four hours battling. We took our fight to Barnet mat room, so had lots of space! As before this was one long, tough, rough session. Again he took lots of punishment, but simply wouldn't admit he was beaten. No one could ask for a better match. This is one blast of an opponent. Roll on Round 3!!!
This was one of those encounters that just fell into place easily! After a short time chatting, we fixed a mutually convenient time and place and the fight was on! He turned up spot on time, we stripped and took it from there. This handsome guy certainly absorbed some punishment, but just kept on coming back for more and more! Strong, with nice iron hard biceps and a flat hard belly, he fought back hard and fierce. We wrestled for a good two and a half hours. This is one tough, feisty competitor! The rematch was promised as we parted.....and it will happen! 100% GOLD STAR recommendation. A wrestler not to be missed!

10/09/19
Another long gap followed by an early morning scrap! As always a tough, hard hitting match up. This time, I had the upper hand but I have the distinct feeling that the word "revenge" might be in the air before too long! Great guy on and off the mats; safe, sane and reliable but tough!! 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation. Roll on the rematch!
13/08/16
After years of not managing to meet up, we finally met again at a meet in Manchester. This grappler was on fine form. He delivers a tough, hard fight on the mats! He certainly had the upper hand now. Looks like I need to up my game!
HIGHLY recommended!
Should have put up a recommendation for this fighter years back! Tough, strong, nice attitude on mats or in ring! Gives a good account of himself.

9th September 2019.
Caught up with this lovely guy, hasn't aged at all and it was a while since we last met, still strong and skillful, age doesn't matter when your Dadwrestles calibre. Hope it's not as long till we next meet. Highly recommended a must meet for all.

09/09/19
Not even a date on my last recommendation! It's YEARS since I wrestled this amazing guy last! He's beefier now, turning into a real body builder wrestler. Still strong and feisty. What more can you ask for? Reliable, punctual and fun. It's just a real pity we are located at opposite ends of the country. HIGHEST Recommendation!
Great to see this star of the Northern Ring Scene back on line! I've had some awesome bouts with this wrestler over the years! Safe, sane, reliable....and always a hot, hard fought bout! GOLD STAR RECOMMENDATION!

Had a great time with Paul. He is safe, strong and great fun to wrestle. If he comes your way, don't miss the chance to meet him.

08/09/19
Been far too long since I last wrestled this big guy from the South West! Rectified that, I am glad to say. As ever, some great scissor moves! Hes tough and resilient and the nicest of men! Was a real pleasure locking up with him again! Good sweaty wrestle! GOLD STAR Recommendation!
This was a great, fun meet! We had chatted over the years but never managed to meet up. This is one big, strong, determined wrestler. Don't be fooled by his gentle manner....he has scissors which will have you tapping!! Powerful crushing thighs!. And that not to mention his arms! Safe, sane and totally reliable, we had a good few hours exchanging holds, I hope the return bout is SOON!!! 100% recommended!

I just realized, to my shame, that I never wrote a recommendation to dadwrestle, even though I met him twice in London and both matches were great fun. He is a big guy but always safe and very friendly – off the mats, that is. :)

I have to say I was not a little nervous having accepted a challenge from this very experienced wrestler. What had I agreed to?
Though he could have easily crushed me Dadwrestle was kind enough to tone down to my level and we had a very enjoyable evening swapping holds and chatting. If you get the chance, this very skillful fighter, interesting and humorous man is highly recommended by me (& many, many others).

I always admire much lighter guys who say "yes" to a match! This wrestler was no exception! As others have said, he underestimates his own strength! He is a powerful defensive wrestler with a style that is tough to counter. Add to that a great sense of humour and you have the ingredients for a fun, sweaty evening ! So, if he challenges you, say yes! You will not be disappointed! 100% Gold Star Recommendation

Giving away just shy of 100lb, I was never going to win this catchweight contest. But boy, I had fun trying! An absolute gentleman in every respect, there's nothing I can add to the hundreds of recommendations preceding this one. Except this: that if ever they publish a book, "100 Wrestlers to meet before you Die," then DadWrestle will surely appear in it. And in the top ten, I'll wager. A must-meet for every serious wrestler here. Thanks, DadWrestle!

I was delighted (and a bit surprised considering the weight differential) to be invited to a small group meet at Walthamstow by The Flashman! It proved to be a really fun meet. The word "feisty" has been used to describe him, and its TRUE! He came at me in the ring determined to take me down. LOL he failed, but honourably! He's tough and very strong for his size. He does the pro style really well! I hope I get another invitation to face him again in the ring! 100% GOLD STAR RECOMMENDATION

He's a great guy, safe and sane, plenty to say for himself off the mat, and determined and strong on it. Happy to tone it down for a lighter opponent such as myself, highly recommended.

Have met up with him several times now, and he is an education every time !

Have met him again, a solid work out and plenty to talk about afterwards. Always look forward to our matches

5/08/19
Just thought I ought to update this recommendation! We are now regular opponents in 1on1 bouts and at Meets at Barnet. As I said before, he never disappoints! Great physique, strong and feisty. One of the best!
30/10/17
A late evening match up was as good as ever! He might be slim, but hes tough, resistant and fights back. I am never disappointed!
13/05/17
Another great tussle with this strong, tough wrestler! Can't speak too highly of him!
(Earlier Recommendation below!)
Had the real pleasure of locking up with this new wrestler at a Grapevine meet at Barnet. Superb physique, unafraid to step on to the mats with a wrestler way out of his weight class, this guy is one feisty, tough, strong grappler. Had two or three sessions with him, and in each he gave 100%. Dont undersetimate his strength either....he can handle himself well. I look forward to the next battle. this is a 100% Gold Star recommendation!

Lovely guy, known him for years, is safe and sane with a light guy like me, but loves the big guys too! I would recommend him to anyone, a very genuine guy.
6/4/19 met again , have lost count of the number of matches we've had over 20 years. but he's been nagging me for an NHB match for ages, this day we had the chance and went for it, I battered him! but he lived to tell the tale til the next time ! great guy , meet him or miss out!!

06/08/19
Got just a little of my own back against the long term opponent, especially after the beating he handed out in April. As ever, a GREAT guy to wrestle. You could not ask for more in an opponent!

HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN! After lots 0f trash talking, we faced each other in an NHB match up; AND CAN THIS FIGHTER PUNCH! I have to own up I was completely outclassed! Sir, you are the champ!
After what seems years, got to wrestle my old opponent Den yesterday at Grapevine. He's as tough as he ever was! Happily comes on to the mats with me, a MUCH bigger guy, and tries some sneaky tricks, often successfully!! Don't miss a chance of stepping on to the mats with this tough wrestler!

No idea why I have no written this before! This guy is one of my longest standing wrestling mates! He a fun guy, totally reliable. Dont be fooled by his weight and size. He's tough and skilled on the mats. Packs a punch too if you are into that. Proud to call him a friend.

I have had the enormous pleasure of being well and truly beaten by Dadwrestle on more than one occasion. One of nature's gentlemen and a truly fascinating guy both on and off the mats. I would recommend him to everyone and look forward to the next time we meet, who knows, I might even get a sub out of him?

GREAT to see this guy back on the mats! It's YEARS since we wrestled last, but I will be heading to Wales as soon as possible to enjoy a rematch! Safe, sane and fun! What more could you ask for? 100% Gold Star recommended

30/07/19
I checked to see when I wrote my recommendation for this amazing guy! Hadn't realised it was SO long ago!! Since then we have been regular opponents. He always delivers an awesome, hot bout. Strong and muscled, he also takes some hard gut punches, and delivers the same. Always safe and sane. Tough, feisty, he keeps on coming back for more, whatever you dish out. This guy I reckon as one of my best wrestling mates! 100% Platinum Star Recommendation!!
Don't miss the chance of taking Gaz on! He might be small but he is tough!

24/10/2014: It's pretty intimidating taking on a guy who outweighs you by 32 lbs and has had 222 past opponents just here on Meetfighters alone! And yes, all that strength and experience certainly told, with him getting multiple submissions out of me from a wide arsenal of holds and techniques. But wrestling dadwrestle was a great, if punishing, experience - he's a true gentleman, welcoming and hospitable, and plays safe and respects limits, with an excellent spacious set up for wrestling. Don't let his age fool you! You'd never guess it and the man is still in great shape, with a lot of strength. Although he prefers competitive matches dadwrestle can certainly punish jobbers. Highly recommended and this jobber will be back for more.
18/04/2015: A rematch with dadwrestle, competitive this time, at a small group meet in Hackney. As strong as ever, he had me controlled and submitting most of the time, but he seemed almost paternally proud when he found that his protégé had developed something resembling a defence and could even (very occasionally) get the odd sub himself. Dadwrestle's a lovely man, thankfully far above such base things as cheating in tag matches. Wrestle him and learn....
12/10/2015: For my swansong at dadwrestle's great home set before he's reduced to joining us plebs at the matrooms and it was as good fun a grapple as ever. I think he's quietly pleased with how I'm coming along, but that didn't stop him working me over yet again. Which is how it should be.
14/05/2017: He'll tell you he's retiring soon. He won't. He'll tell you he's past it. He isn't. Ow....
25/06/2019: A while since weʼve tussled, so it was time for the new lean and mean dadwrestle to put me through my paces and show me whoʼs boss. Which he certainly did. And which is always an immense amount of sweaty fun!

25/06/19
A long awaited and hugely enjoyed (be me lol) rematch with this Star of the Mats! Simply one of the best there is!!
14/05/17
Had the real pleasure of locking up again with this star of the UK mat world! Don't be fooled by the "I'm only a jobber" routine! There's real skill and determination in this grappler's repertoire! A superb few hours wrestling! The perfect opponent!
12.10.15
Another great session today! Watch out for the legs! Hes a cyclist...get caught in the head scissors and you know it! He's got some sneaky fighting back moves, too. Always a pleasure to wrestle and excellent chat off the mats. Continues to be an A1* opponent!
18.04.15
Dont be mislead! The so called squashlad is fast learning good aggressive tactics! Hes strong and resilient. We had several good sessions today, making me definitely want more! Whats this about rule breaking? Who? Me?!! Great guy off the mats too.
This is one first rate jobber! He can certainly take his punishment! Easy to fix a meet; safe, sane and reliable. Tough on mats, he delivers exactly what his profile says. Intelligent and good conversation off the mats, too. For a "newbie", he's a natural, I reckon....born for the mats! I had a great, fun evening...just hope he comes back for more! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Met up with dadwrestle at the Barnet matroom to use for the first time, very easy to arrange picked a date and no hassle at all. Dadwrestle is a very nice and friendly guy off the mats on them on the other hand he is a force to be reckoned with had an awesome time wrestling was good sweaty fun put me through my paces with some good and tricky subs also took some time out to show me a couple tips and tricks, look forward to round two 100% safe and sane guy don't miss a match with this guy well worth it!

Well, what a great guy this is! Having chatted a short time, we fixed a weekday morning meet at the Barnet room. Arrangements easy to make; he was punctual and ready to roll. Then the fun started! Don't underestimate this tall wrestler! He claims rookie status but he's strong, feisty and determined on the mats and has killer legs! BEWARE the scissors! He the best sort of wrestler; he keeps on coming back for more! I REALLY look forward to Round 2. He learns quickly and is only too ready to try out what hes just learned. Off the mats he's quiet and yes, shy, but good fun to be with. 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation.

I met paul at Barnet on Sunday 17th February group session he a big gentle guy. It was brief roll on the matts. Mabe at some point we meet in the future for a longer match

On this occasion I had 1.1 match with paul at Barnet matroom on Sunday 23rd June he a big guy but I gave my all we both worked hard on the matts i got a few submissions of him. Which he got the same with me. It was a pleasure to wrestle paul and I highly recommend him. I hope we can have another match in near future.

24/06/19
Had the pleasure of a 1on1 with this wrestler at the Barnet mat room! He had no hesitation in taking on a bigger opponent and showed his metal in our match. He is strong and tough, much stronger than you might expect for his build. We battled for well over two hours. An excellent way to spend a Sunday evening. Roll on the next round!!
28/04/19
Met this feisty guy again in a 4 way wrestling afternoon! Always huge fun on the mats! Loads of energy and out to make sure everyone enjoys the wrestling! Who could ask for more! GOLD STAR RECOMMENDATION!
I had had Dan in my sights for some time and it was great to get the opportunity to wrestle him at a meet in Barnet. Although there was a considerable weight differential, he came at me hard and fast. We only had one session on the mats, but it was enough to prove that I want to test him out again....SOON! Safe, sane and fun opponent! Roll on Round 2.....longer next time, too! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I'm so honoured to meet these two veteran MF wrestlers, Dadwrestle & Mikeswuk at the same time!
Big, strong & skillful, Dadwrestle have taught me a good lesson on how to behave as a "good son"...

Three of us had a great match & fun. I have been disciplined: being locked in various locks & trapped in so many positions from both dads that I can hardly escape. I look very weak in front of these two veterans.

Off the mat, Dadwrestle is a very nice gentleman. He is those that you can easily make friends with.

Highly recommended

What can I say, simply one of the best I have EVER met!! Arrangements were easy to make. He kept in contact beforehand and was punctual. Then the fun began! This is one fast, extremely skilled, strong, ripped wrestler. A delight to roll with! He adjusted to my skill level at once, but made it clear who was the better wrestler in a cheeky, and entirely appropriate way. I was given a master class in defense and attack. If you get the opportunity to tangle with this guy, say YES at once! You will not regret it! Off the mats, fun and intelligent. What more can you ask of an evening on the mats? 100% PLATINUM Recommendation!

Dadwrestle is an excellent wrestler - a beast on the mats but a gentleman off mats. Don't think he was expecting my armbar which made his submission even sweeter. Highly recommended.

Ive wrestled this guy over the years. Tough and strong, he enjoys a good hard safe and sane bout! Certainly recommended! Looking forward to taking him on again SOON!

10/6/19 - third meeting this time at mine, last minute meeting arranged. He looked bigger and felt heavier than before, we had a great time again, tasting each other’s strength

10/3/16 - second time we met at Barnet matroom in a heavyweight foursome. Had a great wrestle with the strong big guy

30/1/14 - I had a wrestle with him in a hotel room. Big strong man, we had a good tussle and i could tell we were both enjoying it. He did try to wind me with some belly splashes but didnt, instead i enjoyed them. Very nice gentleman, really glad i met him and will meet him again soon hopefully

11.06.19
Round 3! Last minute meet up. He's stronger than ever! Awesome bearhug! Hosted the meet, kindly. As ever, tough but great fun!
10.3.16
Belly to belly again with this BIG MAN at a small group meeting at Barnet! As ever, safe and sane, but a formidable mountain to move on the mats! Great fun!
Met this BIG guy for a brief but satisfying hotel scrap! Totally reliable safe and sane opponent! Next time we meet on the mats for the next heavyweight CLASH!

28/04/19
Another fantastic bout with dadwrestle. Lovely guy, skilled wrestler and super-friendly to boot. What more could you want?
Had only heard good things about dadwrestle and they were all confirmed when we met for an excellent bout at Barnet. I was a little unsure given the size difference but I needn’t have worried. Going easy on me in the beginning, once we got the measure of each other’s strength the real contest started. Dadwrestle is a smooth operator using his strength, skill and stamina to great effect and getting me into some superb holds causing me to submit quite a few times! We also traded a few safe and sane punches – all in good fun. A very engaging and friendly guy off the mats, I too can only agree it was a great way to spend a Saturday morning. Thank you for taking on this ‘lightweight’. Hope we can arrange another bout at some point. Highly recommended.

28/04/19
Had a chance to wrestle this fearless guy again! Stronger than you think he takes his punishment, but beware, he is more than capable of dishing it out too! Immensely personable off the mats! This is one star turn, guys!
What a nice guy! I am always amazed and delighted when wrestlers a lot lighter than me accept a challenge. I had heard great things about this man, so was doubly pleased when he agreed to meet. On the mats he was a tough, defensive wrestler, taking what was thrown at him but also sanely aggressive in his attack. He underestimates his strength and skill! This is now no rookie! He also packs a good, hard punch (if you agree to it!). This was no mismatch; the heavy guy had to work for his submission! Off the mats, he's charming guy and fun to chat with. All in all, a superb way to spend a Saturday morning! Roll on Round 2 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation!

trash talking for a couple of years...happened to be in the same area at the same time so a match was sorted quickly!

Needless to say, I expected to be worked over badly...shockingly, that didn't happen and I got the "victory" in the small confines of a hotel bout.

The grandad wants a rematch on mats, he's got one ;)

Well, after what seems like years of chatting and trash talking we finally managed to meet up in Leicestershire of all places! Despite a lack of proper wrestling mats we managed a reasonable exchange! By that I mean I went down big time to this great man mountain of a wrestler! Yes, he's a big lad, as you might expect, but he's also fast, strong, skilled and huge fun to wrestle! Next time it will be on proper mats; lets see if I can do better! That said, I did get one or two subs off him. A delight to meet and fight this man! This is one of the best guys I have ever tangled with. If he challenges you, accept immediately. You will have a great time with him. 100% PLATINUM STAR Recommendation!

I was a bit apprehensive when I received a challenge as thought this "legend" would be well out of my league. I needn't had worried.
Paul is a friendly guy and respected my limits and although I was out powered by him felt totally safe wrestling against him. Luckily for me it was a hot day and the sweat was pouring off us and it made it easier for me to counter his moves.
Top recommendation for this great guy.

29/04/19
Last minute Match Request (after a time waster on here cancelled on me after weeks of chatting!) came up trumps! Had a good solid hour of submission grappling with this ace wrestler! Great fun! Safe, sane and 100% reliable!
After some time chatting, it was easy to fix a time to meet and wrestle. Totally reliable, safe and sane. More importantly, great fun!! This wrestler is more skilled that he gives himself credit for. He's tough and surprisingly strong. He counters moves well and is sanely aggressive on the mats. It was certainly more than simple "play"! This was a superb way to spend a lunchtime! I am most definitely looking forward to Round 2! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Don't miss your chance of taking this guy on.

Big, strong, skilled, reliable, safe and a top bloke. Known him for years and always a pleasure to catch up with and wrestle.

GREAT NEWS! This wonderfully skilled wrestler is back on the circuit! What better news? Safe, sane, fun, competitive....all the words you might want to hear in an opponent. I look forward to being able to lock up with him again! 100% PLATINUM Recommendation. This guy is one of the best!

Yes, it's all true what the guys say about him – he's formidable. A wily old fighter with a startling array of sly moves and the strength and energy to go on using them for three hours. He pretty much wiped the floor with me and I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute. Maybe even picked up a trick or two. Thanks Paul – until the next time.

12/04/19
Another great session on the mats! Beware, he's picked up some awesome technique!!
27/04/18
We had been chatting for years and at last had the opportunity to lock up! Punctual, safe and sane. That's the boring bit over! Quiet, determined, coming back for more over and over. This "wee" guy is strong, tough and certainly no pushover. He has considerable upper body strength which he puts to good use. There were submissions on both sides, I have to admit. A perfect way to spend a cold April morning in London!!! I hope and trust this was the first of a succession of fights!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 5 Star rating. Dont miss your chance of wrestling this guy!

17th June 2017
Fought the Daddy again. As expected I had no chance to win any bout, but he would let his guard down once or twice for me to take my revenge for a second, then he would be on top again. There was plenty of sweat and fun with the Daddy, and surely more sweat and fun in the future.

22nd November 2015
Finally met the Daddy during one of my visits in London, and luckily just before he moved out of his place. He wrestled me at my level, yet he's on top all the way through the tough sweaty yet safe and sane bout stating that he's the boss of wrestling. He did let me fight back a few times but only under his full control. Thank you for taking the time to meet me for a great match. Sure we will wrestle each other again somewhere in the future.

06/04/19
It just gets better and better wrestling this slim, tough guy!
13/08/17
Another chance to see if I could wear out this wrestler! Of course, the answer is no! GREAT fun on the mats!!
17/06/17
Wrestled this "Duracell Bunny" again at a group meet! He just keeps coming back for more! A delight to wrestle! Despite the huge weight difference, he delivers a tough bout that makes me work just as hard as him! Gold Star guy!!!!
7/2/16
Great to have a chance of a "rematch" on the Barnet mats at a group session!! Good to watch this wrestler take on guys in his own weight class too. Skilled and tough, it was a pleasure to watch!
I must admit that I was perhaps a little apprehensive about the weight difference between us, but I need not have worried! This is one feisty, tough, energetic wrestler! Arrangements were made easily. He was spot on time. He stripped down and was on my mats within seconds. He just kept on coming back for more every time I put him in his place! We had a good two hour, non-stop match. He has some great technique which he uses to advantage. It was a great bout! It was the last "battle" on my mats in London; and it was a perfect way to end!! 100% recommended!

Not sure why I hadn't written a recommendation after our first meet a few years back in London. Met again at a group meet in Manchester! This is one smart, skilled wrestler who is happy to step on the mats with a much bigger guy. Looks great in his gear and is a fine technical wrestler. Safe, sane and fun to fight! !00% GOLD STAR Recommendation. A wrestler to look out for!

Great short tussle with this Gentleman.
Very strong technical wrestler. Unfortunately, due to a back injury we had to cut our match short. Can’t wait to lock up again.
Highly recommended 👍🏼🍻

Had chance of a brief session with this man. He's strong and tough! Sadly he was having some back problems so we only wrestled a short time. Rematch though agreed and much looked forward to by me! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

it was a great pleasure to meet this inviting, elegant and open wrestler, An experienced and a tough man. On the mat he is playful, funny, but also a strong man with a lot of experience. He has a relaxed style of making contact on and off the mat.
Thanks very much for introducing me to the group wrestle last Sunday afternoon,
Looking forward to meeting again in the near future and of course highly recommended.

I spotted Frits' match request and invited him to a meet in London. Easily arranged, punctual at the station. On the mats, clearly a skilled, experienced wrestler, ready to take anyone on! Safe and sane, but a determined, forceful wrestler. I only got to roll with him once, but hope that we might coincide in UK again for a longer session! 100% Gold Star Recommendation.

"he kept on top for most of our time wrestling" - I thought I was on top only when a tight pair of scissors held me up there!
I think I might have been able to do better if he hadn't got on top of me... only I couldn't've stopped that either!
Still, I was planning on working on my scissors anyway...

Nice guy (& safe, sane, knew what he was doing), but the result was what you'd expect!

I had the chance to hit the mats with this skilled wrestler at a meet in London. I certainly wasn't disappointed! He is fast, very strong, and clearly loves the wrestling game. Despite the weight differential he kept on top for most of our time wrestling. He's a tough man to control. Am looking forward to the next meet to see if I can even thing up!! 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation. Don't miss the chance to wrestle this man!

Dadwrestle is a really nice guy. Very strong and a great opponent. I would wrestle him again. A true gentleman.

Had a second match with this Brit pro hero and was defeated once again! 😩.
Can’t wait for the next sweaty round with this genuine, strong opponent who is a complete Gent and took the time to travel to mine. I highly recommend him, but be warned he is very strong!

24/03/19
Another chance to roll with this GREAT guy! Always fun! Great sense of fun and humour he brings to the mats! Never fails!
02/01/19
Caught up at last with this hospitable wrestler after his move to Southend! He's better than ever. Sells a good Brit Pro bout well, handles himself well too on the mats. Fun, safe, sane and totally reliable. An excellent 2 hour post Christmas! Hope this becomes a regular fixture! 100% Gold Star Recommendation
We had chatted for a bit, and then managed a really last minute meet! We realised we had some great past opponents in common! This wrestler looks the part in his gear and we settled to a long, sweaty Brit Pro bout. Sane, safe and fun! Roll on Round 2! Highly recommended.

16th March 2019
Had another great time with this tough man. Always learn a lot from him (including dirty tactics, lol) and have a great time. Reliable, safe, sane and so easy to chat to. Know we'll meet again and he's so understanding with my busy schedule. Do wrestle this man if you get the chance, you won't regret it.

Dadwrestle is an amazing guy. He's strong and has tons of ability. He's more than a match for any wrestler. But he's also patient and can lower the pace to your standard. A real treat for any wrestler of any level.

This powerhouse looks great in his trunks. He's a perfect host. Friendly, safe and definitely sane.

There's a reason he has so many recommendation and that's because you're mad not to meet him if you have the opportunity. Really can't recommend him high enough.

Thanks for a great evening and look forward to doing it again soon.

16/03/19
Had the REAL pleasure of hitting the mats again at the Walthamstow wrestling room with the big, tough guy! It had been a long gap since our last tussle, but we resumed our "feud" immediately and had a good few hours fighting it out! This is one hot, strong guy! Always delivers a memorable match. Roll on our next encounter!
It had been a long time since we last locked up! This is one impressive heavyweight!! Watch out for his arms....like steel, and he can use them efficiently! Great evening spent on the mats. This wrestler is reliable, safe, sane....and huge fun on the mats! He knows his stuff, and is a real challenge. Can't wait for our next session. 100% GOLD STAR recommendation! if this guy challenges you, ACCEPT! You wold be mad not to.

Literally what can you say about Dadwrestle, which hasn't already been said. His a totally Gent, until you're on the mats and heed this warning DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HIM ! at your peril if you do. Totally safe & sane guy, who has forgotten more about wrestling then I'll ever know, a true expert. Great fun on and off the mats and can't wait for round 2 !

27/02/19
Last minute messages paid off and I got another chance to wrestle this big beast of a guy! As before, tough, strong and ready to rassle! Was GREAT locking up with him again! Safe, sane and fun! Hope it will not be so long until the next fight! 100% HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Had pleasure of taking this big lad down again! He's big and he's mean, but the "dad" still took him down!
Now, here's a strong guy! Dont let him tempt you into a finger-interlock...there's huge power in his shoulders and arms. Reliable, safe and sane. Yes, he's a novice wrestler, but he's up for a good tough encounter and is certainly no pushover. If you get the chance, take him to the mats. Roll on the rematch!

Had a good time with Paul. He is strong and great fun to wrestle. Gave me tips on a few holds. Great to talk to after the match.

22/02/19
Another great round of hot and sweaty action! Really good to hit the mats again with this hospitable wrestler! 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation, as always!
11/05/17
Round 2! After a bit of a gap, we made it back on to the mats! He's a deceptively strong wrestler! Again, watch out for the leg scissors! They are real killers! This round as good as the first if not better! Such a great guy on and off the mats!
What a great host, on and off the mats! It took some time for us to find a mutually convenient day, but it was well worth while waiting! I agree with others....watch out for the legs! Safe, sane, fun as a wrestler! Good conversationalist after the bout, too. No hesitation...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I look forward to Round 2!

So, this has probably been the easiest most straightforward meet I’ve had. Arranged, agreed and arrived on time (I didn’t but he was kind enough to get the room set up for my slightly delayed arrival).

We chatted and within second were at each other’s throats in the ring. Big, strong and sturdy. Has good experience and good stamina.

We realised soon enough that I was at a much higher aggressive level than his and I was more than happy to tone it down (I hope i toned it down enough).

He fought back and got on top of me quite a few times. I have genuinely enjoyed fighting this man and would recommend anyone to take him on. Once the fight was over we chatted and talked and it was as interesting as the fight.

Thank you for a genuinely good fight and hope we fight again.

There is a grave danger of running out of superlatives in writing this recommendation! Yes, straightforward and easy to fix a date and time to meet. Good pre-match banter! But nothing can prepare you for the match experience itself! This is one hot, hard, skilled fighter! Don't be distracted by his look in gear....a man born to wear speedos! You will need everything for the fight itself! He brings to the mats speed, skill, a sane but truly rough aggression, with an intensity that is a blast to face! I think I would liken his punches to a rivet gun lol! It must be stressed though that this is all controlled! He knows exactly what he is doing. I was TOTALLY outclassed, but had an awesome evening ! I think I can claim I got him slightly worried twice....but that's all! Off the mats, here is a person who is interested and interesting and a delight to chat to. So, all in all, I rate this man as one of the finest wrestlers I have ever encountered! 5 STAR PLATINUM RECOMMENDATION!

What a nice guy!! Honestly I’m probably one of the most nervous people on here, but I can genuinely say Dadwrestle was really great and genuine! He made me feel at ease with a nice chat before the match and again after.
Now I’m almost pretty SURE he toned it down for me haha, but it was obvious that Dadwrestle is a really strong, skilled and competent wrestler, and was great at teaching me a few things!
So I would definitely recommend Dadwrestle for fighters of any ability, he is great at adapting and making you feel safe, even despite his DIRTY moves ;) which of course I loved haha.

A second last minute arrangement in a field of cancellations which turned out to be really good! This slim wrestler is a rookie, but don't be fooled. He is strong and tenacious. He has a great defensive style and learns VERY quickly. To my surprise, he tried a move on me gaining a tap a few minutes after I had taught it to him. Talk about embarrassed! I shall be back before too long to wreak my revenge! Simple to make arrangements; fun and intelligent off the mats (an added bonus!) So it's a 100% Gold Star recommendation!

21/12/18
Its such a privilege wrestling a guy like this! Safe, sane, amazing physique and imaginative on the mats. a total star of the UK wrestling scene! 100% PLATINUM RECOMMENDATION Simply one of the best!
9/12/17
Whenever I get to wrestle this star of the mats I come away thinking that this has been one of the best mat sessions I have had. He adapts to his opponents skills and style preferences, making it a good experience. I cannot recommend him too highly!!!
January 2015
Just wanted to note, after a great rematch, that this wrestler is really muscled up these days! As strong and determined as ever, he's one of the best around. Always safe and sane, but delivers EVERY time! Off mats, a good conversationalist, fun company!
What ever you do, dont miss the opportunity of wrestling this guy! Awesome body, strong, skilled and a thoroughly reliable person.

18/12/2018

We meet again after 3 years at my current break, our meet are better, despite is my first meet in a year time, our meet did cut of short due to my nose bleed otherwise we will sure having another blast, definitely want to meet up again when I down to London.

2015
We finally meet after a near miss in October, at the end very glad to make it up, feel safe wrestler with him despite the size, it is well balance between fun and intensity also with lot of techniques exchange in between, more important safe and sane and good manner. a good start for the year 2015, hope we get to meet again.

18/12/18
Good to get my hands on this star wrestler again! Stronger and tougher than ever! 100% PLATINUM RECOMMENDATION!
We fixed a morning wrestle easily! Just to say...the pics do not lie! This is one muscled, strong, lighter guy. He was determined on the mats. Great technique, that got him out of some difficult moments! It was a great fun to mix with this wrestler. We promised a rematch whenever it could be arranged. He is 100% recommended. Dont miss out on taking this grappler down to the mats!

So glad I finally got to meet and wrestle with Dadwrestler. I could tell immediately that he knows what he's doing. Excellent technique and very strong. Even though he's much more experienced I never felt out of my depth. He knows exactly when to turn it up and when to give you a little bit of space and time to recover. It was a perfect match and can't wait to get back on the mat for Round 2!

Got my hands on this pocket tank of a wrestler at the Barnet room! Easy to make arrangements, prompt, safe and sane. That's the boring bit over!! WOW is this one hot guy to face on the mats. Strong, tough, sanely aggressive, he delivers in every way an opponent could want. He may be a rookie, but he learns fast!! Two and a half hours of non stop wrestling. Who could ask for more? Certainly looks the part too in gear. I reckon it was a pretty even fight. So, roll on Round 2! I cant recommend this wrestler strongly enough! Don't miss the chance of tangling with him. 100% GOLD STAR RECOMMENDATION

Dadwrestle was one of my first matches on this site and I can’t think of a better way to get into wrestling than with this guy. He def had me sweating like crazy and I I loved every minute of this match. If you ever get the chance to fight him, take it!

Met this young handsome wrestler on a trip to Houston a year or so back. Great physique, strong and feisty on mats! Easy to arrange the meet, he was safe, sane and arrived spot on time. It proved to be a most enjoyable, tough wrestling work out!! Roll on another trip to Texas! 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation here. If this guy challenges you, ACCEPT! You wont regret it.

Catchbear1 and I met dadwrestle and Ben Skull Stevens at the Walthamstow Ring for a Tag Team Match. And what more can I say except that it was awesome. Not only did we had a hard fought wrestling match in the ring but also a 1 on 1 submission match on the matts. Dadwrestle is a strong and skilled opponent and I can recommend him to anyone. I would wrestle hin anytime again.

08/10/18
Another chance to take on the German Bear! We had a great time 1on1, on the mats and in the ring as well as doing a good tag match!
02/04/18
Mixed it 1on1 on the mats before a England v Germany tag match up! This is one solid, tough wrestler with endless stamina! We wrestled submission, and it was hard to get him to tap. He takes his punishment and comes back for more! Real joy to wrestle. Safe and sane, handles his weight well. This was a fight I had been looking forward to, and I certainly wasn't disappointed! Watching him to be coached in pro was good, too. This guy gets a thumbs up.....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! If you get the chance, wrestle this guy!

I met dadwrestle at a meet in Manchester. We were chatting a while ago and lost touch (my fault)

I really enjoyed hitting the mats and we had a good pro match which I really enjoyed.

I am looking forward to meeting again soon!

Well, pro is not my favoured style, but I hit the mats with this great looking pro style guy at a meet in Manchester! He certainly looks the part in gear!! Must admit I enjoyed our session. Hope I got into the scene well enough to give him a good roll. He sells well, and we ran to three submissions! Nicest guy off mats. Safe, sane and fun! 100% Gold Start recommended.

06/10/18 yet another amazing grapple with Paul, this time at Pippas. I'm sure he gets stronger every time we meet but still makes an awesome match. Had a great time! Thanks Dad ;-)

19/12/16 Had a trip to Barnet mat room to meet this fantastic wrestler again. Will echo my previous recommendation. Paul is such a great wrestler and always so much fun to be with and get to grips with!! Had a wonderful time and will happily recommend him to anyone who enjoys a great wrestle with a real great guy.

Had the pleasure of meeting Paul yesterday. He's a great guy, powerful, strong, very skilled wrestler but totally safe and sane - got some amazing holds which will really test you but also respects limits. He's also a really genuinely nice guy who loves his wrestling and enjoys having fun as the big bad heel! Highly recommended and hope for a rematch!

Now this wrestler never fails to deliver on the mats!! He travelled down to Barnet for an afternoon session. We got up a good sweat, and wrestled a good few hours. Great fun; totally reliable!
REALLY enjoyed locking up with this great heavyweight on his mats! We had a perfect Brir Pro session, he looks good in the gear and delivers on the mats. Definitely safe and sane, and the perfect host! Rematch will follow soon, I hope!! Dont miss out on this Midlands rassler!

he is experienced and safe, with a wicked sense of humour on the mats. don't be put off by size - he will give you a good time, although try to stay on top! highly reliable and recommendable

I have NO IDEA why there is no recommendation from me to Mike!!! We have been wrestling for more years than either of us care to remember! He has never backed off from wrestling guys my size, and sessions on the mats have ALWAYS been safe, sane and fun. Hes quite the skilled wrestler now, and I have to watch my step not to get caught. He is also one of the best most patient teachers!
100% PLATINUM STAR RECOMMENDATION

DAMN! He got a sub out of me!

Simply one of the best! I think I was the first to face this AMAZING guy at a meet in Manchester! Awesome skills, able to adjust to make the fight enjoyable. Great physique to match his skills. Off the mats he brings French charm and a winning smile!! What more can you ask? 100% PLATINUM STAR!! Don't miss a chance to roll with this superb wrestler!

A great wrestler and a gentleman (off the mats). Very easy to setup our meeting. I unfortunately came down with a cold, which I did warn DadWrestle about. He was happy to still meet. He was very accommodating of my weakened physical state and took it easy on me. A skilled wrestler, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and I look forward to a tough wrestle next time. Highly recommended.

A bit last minute, but we realised that we could meet up while this wrestler was in London. Sadly, a nasty cold on his part meant we couldn't go as hard as we might have wanted, but he proved without doubt that he is a skilled practitioner on the mats. We both got some submissions, but his were stylishly applied! I hope I get the chance to wrestle him again when we are both fit! Great conversationalist off the mats, too. 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation

A short notice message enabled a meeting! DW checked I was OK and kept pushing me and testing me out then pushed more. He is a hard man, with lots more to give and so Obviously very skilled and tactical. He’s lots of fun, thoughtful and I’m taking note of under arm tackle.

After a while chatting we managed to fix a last minute meet up! It involved him driving quite some way, but he arrived spot on time ready to wrestle. True commitment! We had a good two hours wrestling with this worthy tough jobber taking his punishment and coming back for more time after time. A great way to spend an evening. Safe, sane and imaginative. I look forward to getting into the gear again for Round 2! GOLD STAR Recommended!

Fantastic time wrestling this absolute beast
Arrived right on time and had a friendly chat before hitting the mats and damn i was outclassed
Brilliant learning experience. 2 hours of sweaty submission and i think i can safely say that i didn't stand a chance
Highly recommended

What a way to celebrate being back in UK! Met up with this big, beefy wrestler at Barnet. He traveled some distance to be there, but was spot on time. Arrangements had been easy to make. He may to new to the wrestling scene, but he's a natural. He uses his weight well, and is fast when he wants to be! We had over two hours of sweaty submission fun. Watch out for this guy! If he challenges you, accept! You won't be disappointed. I really hope Round 2 happens SOON! 100% GOLD STAR Recommendation.

A good guy to wrestle. I always thought breast squeezes and stomach claws didn't do much - I was wrong! Will be happy to wrestle again in future.

My last wrestle in my Oz trip! This guy kindly came out to my hotel the night before I flew home. Easy to arrange the meet; prompt and good company. Safe, sane. This wrestler has a strong defensive style. We rolled for around an hour. I think I might just have been a bit big for him, but he certainly fought back!!

What can I say that hasn’t already been said.
Easy to organise
Reliable
Strong as
Ticks every box that we talk about and one of the best guys that I has been out with afterwards beer and meal. I’m so glad I made the effort. He is a guy not to be missed. I had a iffy shoulder and he accommodated for it well. 2 full hours of wrestling plus a massage at the end. I felt so relaxed at the end. Hopefully our paths will cross again one day.
One of the biggest recommendation I can muster

This guy has been on my radar for years! Look at his pics to see why! The reality was even better!! One strong, tough, safely aggressive wrestler who brings it all to the mats. Despite his difficult shoulder, the fight was fast and furious. Just what I had hoped for. He looks great in gear and is built like prime beef! Off the mats, good, fun conversation. The rematch MUST happen. 100% PLATINUM recommendation. A wrestler not to be missed!

What a superb wrestler and gentlemen!

I had the absolute pleasure of tussling with this living legend. Super strong and tremendously skilled, he constantly kept me on my toes and gave me a real going over. The next morning I'm feeling the satisfying soreness of a night of terrific wrestling. He was gracious enough to also share a few tips and tricks. Most enjoyable, and an outstanding chap. An absolute pleasure to wrestle. Thank you so much, mate. Couldn't recommend higher.
