I absolutely love this! I love your wrestleing look it looks very anime/ comicbook character style :)! I would ware stuff like that just for the shits and gigs lol :). Beacause I love that style. my question tho is, how did you come up with the look and character idea? :)
Thanks Jessica! This newer look was intentionally removed from the "Lightning" look - for the first 12 years or so that I was wrestling, I was Lightning. But once that evolved into "The Master of a Thousand Holds" I wanted to start phasing out the lightning motif, which ran through a LOT of my gear. The gear I've had for the last 4 - 5 years or so is deliberately asymmetrical, and if you look at it, you'll see there is both an M and a Q in the design itself.
@@TilWeMakeIt @Til We Make It yes I did notice that lol. it's an amazing design i love it :) its very creative:). I gotta ask y did you choose the name quackenbush and whare did you learn all those holds? I myself want to learn those holds they are very effective. I mean I don't know if I'd be able to cause I'm really short 5 foot 2 inches to be exact 😂. but it's worth a try☝️! Wen I saw a video of you useing the holds I was impressed, and I was like I wanna learn those! I never knew that was a wrestling style although I'm still kinda new to the fandom I've been a wrestling fan for about a little over a year and I freaking LOVE it but still have much to learn but what made you wanna learn the holds and who taught them to u? And y did you choose that style of wrestleing? Sorry for all the questions I just love to know these things it fascinates me :) and thank you for being awesome and giving replys and knowledge
As great as a football player Ernie Ladd was -- he stated for years that if he could have done things over again......he would have ditched the gridiron for the ring immediately after college; because (back then) it was putting a pair of boots & socks and wrestling trunks in a gym bag and working the territories for a nice chunk of change.
Finding wrestling shoes for wide feet was so hard to the point I ended up buying ringside boxing shoes. They’re firm and they give me great ankle support
@@TilWeMakeIt the only real difference is that they’re wider. They give great ankle support because they’re a little higher up than wrestling shoes, but your foot is pretty much the same height off the ground. I know Fandango use to wear ringside boxing shoes and Candice LeRae wears them too
I went with embroidery on my first set of gear. However, eventually once I switch up my attire, I may want to go with a different form of stitching, because the embroidery only works in outlines and is a little expensive for bigger designs. Is there a name for the type of stitch that you see on custom wrestling gear?
Jared, there probably is, but that's just outside my wheelhouse. The actual stitching process and such is not within the sphere of my expertise, sadly.
How can someone choose the right gear for themselves? Do they choose what fits their style? Is there dos and don’t when it comes to wrestling gear? New video idea?
I got my gear from elucha.com and elucha makes custom gear as well but it’s a reasonable price for the quality and the texture of the kick pads feel comfortable. Follow elucha on Instagram @eluchastore but the only thing they don’t have yet is boots so high spots is we’re I’m getting the boots.
Hello Mike I love the videos you make and I have a question I am in high school and I have chosen to be a wrestler but do you have any advice i also not the most fit and I am trying to lose weight and get in shape I want to be a lucha libre wrestler but I am confused were to start (if you replie to this comment I will be incredible thank full and sorry for it being so long)
Hey mike hope ur doing well, Does your nationality make you more attractive in tryouts and recruits? I’m Venezuelan/Lebanese does that help me in any way because for example I’ve never heard of any woman wrestler from the Middle East so that would be groundbreaking and wouldn’t promotions be interested in that? And with that I speak 5 languages fluently ( Spanish,Arabic, English, French,Turkish) so yeah that’s my question:) I’m trying to help myself as much as possible because there are no training centers for wrestling here :,) Also thank you for the videos they’re really helpful ♥️🇱🇧
Hi Salma! I think many companies that want diverse rosters are always looking for unique, or, dare I say, "exotic" appearances. I think it can only help, and being a multi-linguist gives you a MASSIVE advantage. Thanks for the kind words, too!
Hince forth why I wear only trunks and boots..... 2 reasons , I pay way less money and I can get all the colors over time and it keeps me in shape. 🤣😂🤣

I’d absolutely love to see more wrestling homework videos, the last one was really interesting
Thanks Joe! I have been brainstorming about a second one, so maybe that needs to get slotted into the rotation...
@@TilWeMakeIt That would be really helpful thank you so much

Intriguing! How are the boxing shoes different?

This is a compliment when I say that you give off a wrestling version of blues clues vibes
I was waiting for this video 🔥
Were you the one that requested this? It was a great suggestion!
This guy is the man!! Keep up the good work brother!
Thank you, Tyler! I appreciate that 👍🏻
Super helpful to know what I should be charging for gear! How much did you originally spend on the entrance gear?
Are you currently making gear?
My robe was…550, I think? Then I had some alterations made.
@@TilWeMakeIt YES I am! I’m actively trying to make it my full time biz because wrestling is life! Wrestle on the side too. Awesome! THANK you!!

This is a tough one. I think a lot of people go through trial and error in an effort to get it right. That's certainly been my experience!
i love these videos so much
I'm glad, Aaron - thank you!

Wheres the best place to get custom gear/how do u make gear?
To make gear I would watch tutorials and buy stretch fabric and have a sewing machine
@@spookytv1531 thanks
@@Justrobschannel your welcome
Learning to make your own gear will give you a MASSIVE leg up on everyone else!

Can you start wrestling training without any background lyk martial arts or amateur wrestling or any other sports
Funny you should ask, Fayaz! Here's a video about that exact thing: czcams.com/video/un8XyY_vvV8/video.html
How did you make your gear
Do you mean the design itself, or you mean the actual cutting of fabric and sewing part of the process?
@@TilWeMakeIt actual cutting if the fabric.
You wrestling pants, are they fitted?
I want my pants cut like yours and idk if I should tell them to make them fitted
Yes, absolutely
Hince forth why I wear only trunks and boots..... 2 reasons , I pay way less money and I can get all the colors over time and it keeps me in shape. 🤣😂🤣
You are several degrees smarter than I already!
You know what’s so amazing Highspots is in my state I only need to drive 3 hrs to the place.
If you've never seen their warehouse, it is a sight to behold!
Do you know any other places to get boots besides Highspots?
$450?!? Wow that’s a lot. But I suppose you’re really paying for the durability and the time it took to make the gear.
Yes, you're right. The time to put it together, just the raw hours of the work, is a lot of that.
This is fantastic. And absolutely fucking ridiculous; very expensive.
You have summed up pro-wrestling neatly, Steven.
that the worse outfit gear ever?
how about Cody from WWE gear? his gear looks good.
Probably around 2-5k
