Wrestling Beast's blog

If you can't host, then you have to find somewhere else to wrestle. I would recommend Motel 6s. Motel 6s are probably the cheapest chain in the industry in the United States. Rooms are not huge and amenities are sparse. The rooms are reasonably clean, but I would not recommend staying there overnight. The mattresses are hard, there may be burn holes in the sheets and they are stingy with the soap. Refrigerators may be extra. If you want to use a pool or a workout room, go elsewhere. Takeout may have to be eaten on the bed.

Even so, the Motel 6 is especially good for budget wrestling. The box springs are not attached to the floor and they do not even have a separate metal bed stands. It is usually an all-in-one job that can be moved to one side. The rooms are not cluttered with furniture, but the nightstands are built into the wall, so you will still need to exercise some care. In the summer, there are many free-standing AC units going to help mask the noise of a fight. This is one of the benefits of a more down-market place, noisy free-standing AC units instead of central air.

The floors now use wood-laminate. On the plus side, you do not have to worry about staining the carpet or rug burns, but on the downside the laminate does not absorb water and sweat and the floor is hard. Be prepared to wipe down the floors and bring extra towels.
