And it was wrestling, and wrestling it was.  I do not think that halve of the people attending had ever been to a wrestling match other than sitting in front of their tv.

At first we could not keep the people out of the hall on the Friday evening as everyone wanted to see the ring.  The youngsters all tried out the wring and the big boys checked the carpet out.  Just to see how much is real and how soft the landing would be.

Let me tell you –………..

Andy was the first to almost break his backside when he tried falling.  That carpet is a little thicker than a blow up mattress without air in it.  Underneath that, thin pieces of wood and underneath that just steel.  Eina – was all I could think off as I watch the guys assemble the ring.

So I promise you that when they hit that floor in the ring, they really hit it.  There was a lot of floor hitting and as if that was not good enough they sommer gooi them out of the ring.  Falling in front of the VIP seats and the kids went crazy.  With halve the crowd sitting all fours on the chairs they continue their fights outside of the ring with the judge counting off.

Tussen deur het hulle mekaar met tafels & stoele geneuk.  Hier na die einde van die aand was dit net die voorste mense wat nog hul sitplekke op die ou manier gebruik het.  Die res van die toeskouers het bo-op die stoele gestaan en gejuig en geskreeu.

Lucky en haar trawante van die kombuis het agter die kostafel so staan en naels kou dat ek hulle ‘n paar keer moes vertel dat hulle moet nou stop.  Skoon vergeet van die kos soos hulle saam met die manne staan en seerkry.

Dan praat ek nie eens van die manne wat by die bar gehang het nie.  Mens sou sweer julle het ‘n vinnige wegkom kans gesoek.

En toe ons begin oppak en die vloer word al hoe kaler en die musiek al hoe harder toe het daai einste manne heeltemal verdwyn. Slegs ‘n paar vlugvoetiges het oorgebly en die dames gevat vir ‘n swaaitjie of twee op die vloer.

Vir ‘n eerste keer was dit ‘n lekker sukses en dankie aan al die manne van AWA wat hier by ons moes kom seerkry vir die gaste se genot.  Dit was lekker om julle hier te ontvang.
