So much better than NFL or NBA of any of that other mess in my opinion. Two warriors, evenly matched in the arena. Get Some!!!!

    I agree. I was a college wrestler. Not like you'd see one TV though. D3 lol.

    @shootuadeal Competing at any collegiate level is no small feat. Congrats on your accomplishment.
    Enemies of armed self-defense focus on the gun. They ignore the person protected with that gun.

    One of my Grandsons was on both high school and college wrestling teams, those kids don't play  :), they can have you all knotted up faster than you can say "Jack Rabbit", they can/will when pushed make husky football players scream for mercy........I'm not particularly a fan of the spandex wearing though, too feminine looking for that sport IMO.

    i'll second the opinion that football jocks won't mess with the wrestlers. i, 280 lb left tackle, watched a 230 lb linebacker[steriod enhanced] be embarrased mightily by a 160+- wrestler.  it wasn't even a contest

    When I was in high school in Donelson, TN back in '66 & '67 the Tennessee School for the Blind (TSB) was across the street from my school. They had a wrestling team that beat everybody around. They were amazing.

    That's one of the few sports that I'll watch on TV.  I wrestled in high school and did pretty good.  
    I think I still hold the record at my high school for the most reversals (32) and pins (17) in a season (22 matches).  I'd let guys take me down just so I could get the reversal.  I never did make it to state, I dislocated my collar bone the last match of the season before districts the one year I probably would have.   
    Man!  That was a long time ago!!!

    I Was pretty much the opposite. I was basically a takedown artist. I would just take guys down and let them go over and over. Wasn't real good on top so never got many pins. I had 162 takedowns my senior year in 38 matches, I think I gave up something like 128 escapes from letting people go all the time. I did alot of freestyle and Greco-Roman also so that kind of helped with being on my feet.

    Wrestlers are a tough bunch. I have always been impressed with those people that took judo, too.

    What's next?
