I got invited to a wrestling match last night... First one I've been to. I got few photo photos that I really like, but I want to know how to get better ones?? Anyone shoot wrestling? I mean think WWE type of wrestling... The lighting in horrible (stage lighting).... I didn't go right up to the ring do to the fact that there was a film crew there, but I have ring access at the next match which is next month...

I shot with and without my flash... The ones without my flash were really "yellow" ISO 1600... 2.8... Should I lower my ISO to 400 and shoot with my flash all the time? Any suggestions would be great!! I'd really like to nail the next set due to the fact that this could open a lot of doors for me here...

Here's a few photos of what I got..

This is a job for the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II (http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-50mm-f-1.8-II-Lens-Review.aspx) and high ISO with available light. Examples at ISO 1600 and 1/200 from a Rebel XTi:
