Arnold 'Nöldi' Forrer: "I miss wrestling for 2.3 seconds at the festival"
"I'm already enjoying not having to train anymore," Forrer tells Claudia Lässer, adding: "I trained a lot at the beginning of the year. Four months ago I weighed 110 kilos, I was lighter than I'd been for 25 years," the ex-wrestler says proudly, but then has to laugh: "My sweetheart cooks very well and usually a bit too much. Now I've put on 20 kilos again."
Forrer is also glad to have caught the right moment for his retirement. "I had spoken to many former wrestlers and practically everyone regretted retiring too early." Forrer didn't want that. That's why he decided to crack the 150 crown mark.
When he goes to a wrestling festival now, he only thinks about standing in the sawdust for a very short time. "I somehow miss 2.3 seconds and in the evening I think: 'It doesn't hurt me, oh that's nice'," laughs Forrer. He still feels the thrill as a spectator, but the tension from before is gone. "I'm glad I don't have to have that anymore."
In the blue Zoom show "Lässer", Nöldi Forrer also talks about his sweetheart Seraina and reveals why it was worth "traveling to Winterthur more than once" to get to know her better about a year ago.
