End of studies, start of a new life!

It has been a while since I wrote here unfortunately, but that is all due to me moving home again, starting “the responsible adult life”. Two days after I arrived in Oslo from England, I started temporary work (waking up at 5:30 every day, damn) and got myself a small apartment, in comparison to my first stay in Oslo in 2011 where I spent two months looking for work. And it feels fucking great to have my own place, to actually be my own master again. So what is the plan now? Hopefully I will have an enjoyable job at the end of the summer, while I’m trying to get myself started as an illustrator. Life is pretty fucking good right now, and I even have someone looking over my shoulder right now (most likely shaking her head, but it still feels pretty good).

So what does this mean for wrestling? I wrestled two matches on May 30th, one against Ruslan, and the debuting Allan. Both men whom I have nothing against, but I still had to prove myself, and I did so in convincing fashion! I am now 3-0 after two shows, and I am looking to become Norway’s premier wrestler!

Unrelated to wrestling, I am FREAKIN’ excited to hear that not only is Five Finger Death Punch coming out with a new album in August, but DISTURBED AS WELL! After 5 years! They both released their own singles, “Jekyll and Hyde” (FFDP) and “The Vengeful One” (Disturbed). Both which I think represent each band as they should, and I am now so fucking ecstatic about August!!

Until next time, I hope everyone has a great summer!

NWF Ragnarok 2015, and going forwards..

On April 18th, I returned to the Norwegian wrestling scene and WOW did I have a great time!

The show was in Trikkehallen, which does not hold the biggest audience, but those who attended made sure to make themselves heard, a lively crowd with the intention of having fun! I was not sure how everyone would react to me coming back, but I was genuinely surprised over the warm reception I got from everyone. F’n awesome! AND, we even had a visitor from Australia, a young boy who came to watch us perform, his first show in Norway I believe. He met everyone, took pictures, and was just excited to be there. Really fun meeting him!

My match with Tommy P started out as a “who could top the other”, both getting takedowns and reversals, until he got cocky that is. I will admit that I underestimated Tommy P, as I didn’t expect him to be as intense as he was, but in the end I came out on top and hit the top rope double foot stomp for the 1-2-3! And as a bonus, I got the best seat in the house, watching his valet turning against him finally with a shove and a big slap!

I let everyone know straight away that I am aiming for the top, I wanted the chance to wrestle for the NWF title, even saying it to the face of our Chancellor. However, he shut me down and told me basically to get back in line, and earn it. I feel like I have earned it, but fine, I’ll go through anyone in the upcoming shows, sooner or later I will get my chance!

Funny little side story , on the plane back to the UK, I dozed off straight away pretty much, however I soon felt something weird on my right forearm. I sat right next to a mother with her baby, and the tiny lump of cuteness decided she wanted the cherry blossoms on my forearms, so with her sharp nails she started clawing on them. I didn’t want to upset the baby or make her cry (god forbid) so I let her continue, thankfully she grew tired when they didn’t come off…

So now I am back in England to finish my degree, I have one month left where I’m handing in my BA hand-ins to be evaluated, and after that we’ll see what happens, what I do know is that I am looking forward to coming back to Norway to see my friends and family again, to start a normal life (NO LONGER AS A STUDENT) and kickstart my career, hopefully..

Ragnarok & Chikara

We’re only three days away from NWF Ragnarok! My first appearance for the company since NWF “Young Blood”, June 7th last year, which also were in Trikkehallen!

On this show I am facing a proper southern partyboy from Moss, a man named Tommy P.
If you know someone who is overattached to his own looks and reputation, then you probably can relate to my feelings towards Tommy P. I know he is talented, by all means, I am not going to underestimate his ability to wrestle, but he has been running his mouth for way too long..  I have been gone for a while now, so my main objective for this upcoming saturday, is to remind both Tommy Partypooper and the loyal fans of NWF, who I am and what I am capable of!

On April 6th I got the opportunity to attend the last show of the Chikara UK tour, in London! Chikara, for those of you who may not know much of it, is a wrestling promotion where characters and comedy are more prominent in their presentation! It was so much fun, and gave me the chance to scope out some of the premier wrestlers from the US, including a guy I’ve wanted to see for a while now, Drew Gulak! I actually got to meet him, which was really fun! I really never get starstruck meeting famous people (not that I have met many), but wrestlers, I get so fucking excited, like the little fanboy I really am.. So of course, I was awkward and didn’t know what to say, but walked away when his attention was taken to someone else.. I also did get to shake the hand of Mike Quackenbush, former wrestler and founder of Chikara, which was really really really really cool!

London cafes, wonderful!

Oh, and a trainee of NWF got pooped on by a big fat pigeon, which was funny as hell.

Great way to spend easter!!

I will leave you all with this song, until next time good people!

Wrestling & life outside!

Well for those of you beautiful souls who visits this site, I haven’t been able to write much to due heavy amount of schoolwork, and the reason for me actually prioritizing school for once, is because this is my absolute last time as a student, thankfully.. So bear with me.

I did get to watch Wrestlemania ‘Play Button’, but not without a struggle.. Holy shit. Our local student pub advertised showing the event on the big screen, free for everyone to watch, live! And they did so a month in advance, so I decided not to renew my WWE Network subscription for the sole reason of watching WM31 with plenty of other wrestling fans. The day came, and so did a lot of people! Around 40 enthusiastic fans packed the pub, ready to watch the biggest Wrestling event of the year, and guess what, the fucking Sky connection dropped out.. I was mad as hell, and I couldn’t even complain because it was free.. I ended up watching the event through crappy streams, eating skittles and cursing the pub.. The WM event was great though!

So what is going on with me now? Three big projects to edit and hand in, and I have no fucking motivation anymore. What I wanna do, is wrestle, what I wanna do, is spend time with a beautiful madame and those I consider close, and what I wanna do, is start life as a “responsible adult”, establishing my own brand as an artist and performer.

Until then, I WILL get to wrestle again, on April 18th in Trikkehallen, Kjelsås, in Oslo Norway! I am ready, I am fucking ready to return to NWF to restart my quest to become the first ever Northern Norwegian to become NWF Champion! The guy standing in my way as I make my return next week, TOMMY P, is a guy with a big mouth, big temper, and a lust for partying 24/7 (hah). I am looking forward to finding out if his bark is worse than his bites. He’d better be ready, cause I fucking am!

18.04.2015 – I will return!

The silence before the Storm?
The date is set, the tickets are booked, I am coming back to the NWF!

For the first time since June 7th of last year, I will wrestle for my home promotion once again! And it was on that date that I wrestled the-then Norwegian Wrestling Federation champion Daniel Sebastian for the title, and lost, in controversial fashion. But that was then, and this is now, and I will get my chance to wrestle for the championship soon enough! Starting, on April 18th!

Until then I will be busy doing schoolwork, and training as hard as I can to keep myself in shape for the show! But hasn’t been all about school and training.

I recently became a year older, a quarter of a century old in fact, and to celebrate that occation, I was given the opportunity to go see ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ in London on the weekend that was. I had the pleasure of accompanying a beautiful french lady coming over from Oslo to see her friends for the weekend, and for my first time going to a musical/opera, it was amazing. Merci beaucoup mademoiselle, Tu es magnifique!

Adrian Storm vs Daniel Sebastian – NWF Title match

On June 7th, Trikkehallen in Kjelsås, Oslo, I faced the Norwegian Wrestling Federation champion, Daniel Sebastian. It was a physical match that left me incapable of chewing properly for quite some time, but from the reaction I’ve gotten so far, people really enjoyed our match. Daniel Sebastian may be a first class dirty assface, but he’s a phenomenal wrestler, it’s only too bad he chooses to wrestle the way he does. If you’re wondering what I mean by that, you can watch our match here:

I am soon leaving for England to study and learn. Feels very weird to leave everything behind with nothing but myself to rely on for the next year. However you can follow me here, and on facebook! www.facebook.com/AdrianThePerfectStorm

Now for a little bit wrestling in general. If you’re a fan of wrestling, you’ll know about Brock Lesnar’s mauling/rape of John Cena from Summerslam last weekend. It was really something special. However, while everyone was and still are talking about that match, there was another match I was particularly interested in, from TNA.

Samoa Joe faced Low Ki for the X-Division title in NYC this week. And I’ve been waiting for a match between those two again since I started following them. They had an amazing match in 2002 in ROH, and now they would get to showcase their stuff on national TV in USA. Although the encounter didn’t match their ROH bout, it reminded me why I ever was a fan of TNA in the first place, I recommend checking it out.
