Have you ever had a moment in practice or a match where you were like "Wow, this position is REALLY AWKWARD."
AND
Have you dudes ever gotten in to some gigglefits because of whacky match shenanigans?
I've had plenty of those moments lol, Head scissor holds are the worst for that exact trail of thought. Essentially the opponent wraps their legs around your neck/head in a leg based sleeper hold. it can be ESPECIALLY awkward when you face towards them... .-. .
And one moment that had me stifling a laugh and a my partner too, was the time we wrestled in Butlins, Minehead. One guy decided to go a "Wizard" Gimmick, the flowing robes and pointy hat, the full shebang if you will. Anyway, as he entered the ring, he tripped over his robes and barreled forward. Everybody in the crowd chanted "Gandalf fucked up!" and we couldn't hold our laughs in.
Who are your wrestling idols? :)
My main, top idols are as follows: Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man Randy Savage, British Bulldog, William Regal and Keiji Mutoh. Those are the guys that I look up to and have inspired me even outside the ring.
Do many indie wrestlers have gimmicks? If so, what's the weirdest gimmick you've encountered?
Short answer: Yep, nearly everyone has a gimmick of sorts.
Long answer: Nearly everyone MUST have a gimmick really, even those who seemingly have "no" gimmicks since they at similar to "Counter-Cultures" You could technically call them "Counter-Gimmicks" if you want. It's most often played assmall as just an emphasized version of yourself, like for instance CM Punk, he's often used his Straight Edge lifestyle as a Heel Persona, often acting quite radical about it, even militant at times.
The weirdest gimmick. Not even joking, one of my friends used to perform as "Happy Hobo the Homeless Clown" Needless to say he only ever had ONE match as that gimmick. There's plenty I've seen, such as a guy using a Shining Wizard Variation called "The Shining Dick" and that guy I'm glad I didn't wrestle lmao. His move set is bonkers.
Is there any videos of your matches?
Sadly, I've never been the one to record his own matches. Although, and I don't know where there'd be, but I'm sure some of the promotions I worked for have videos of my matches somewhere.
