I used to wrestle. I dunno about wrestlers being crazy though if you wanna see crazy watch those freestyle motocross riders. Those dudes are insane. Alternative sports athletes don't receive the recognition that they deserve. Most people have NO idea the talent level that many of the top alternative athletes possess. In my opinion they are FAR more talented than most professional athletes that just rely upon natural given attributes such as speed and power.

I wrestled 119 my freshman year. After a certain time in the season, they add 2 pounds to each weight class.

So for my last wrestling man I weighed in a little under 121. The next day I weight 136.

yeah that cant be healthy. i had several friends that would wrestle in high school but i didnt notice them struggling to make weight. only on meet days would they not eat and try to lose all the water possible. after weigh in they would drink pedia light to gain the nutrients back or whatever.

FYP

Didnt someone once pull up buckinators hs wrestling stats and he like lost every single time?

Socal, so when you head up to San Fran to taste the rainbow, what weight class do you wrestle at???

Is this an Onion article in disguise or something? WhyTF would someone drop his junk on a dudes mouth during a practice? Its bad enough people talk shit on wrestling like "ohh its just guys rolling around in spandex." Although after I challenged them to come to a practice they usually shut up.

lol @ murderer.

I wrestled at 125 lbs all through high school and then 158 in college. I was hard as a rock (not my wang, homo) back then.

Now, I'm about 195 and I only lose weight if I work out hard core. It really sucks. I never thought I'd have to worry about being a fatty, but it's definitely come to that.

I started my junior year at 147 lbs and was under 125 in less than 3 weeks. I was 10% body fat at 147 and under 5% at 125. I remember losing 6-8 lbs of water weight at practice and then not being able to eat or drink hardly anything until weigh-ins the next day. It's no wonder why my body is all f'ed up...

Oh, and there were definitely some homoerotic things going on. My team was a bunch of crazy mofos. I've given (and received) my fair share of mushroom stamps. Also, I clearly remember flicking some guy's wang who had it tucked between his legs in the locker room. I snuck up behind him and flicked his wang so hard his eyes teared up. That'll teach him to walk around like Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs.

Yeah Oklahoma, won large class Eastern Regionals. 25-4 senior year. I had to pull about 20 lbs to get to 168 (I'm 6-3). Because I was so tall, I used leg rides for leverage, and my specialty was the guillotine... that move should be illegal because I just cranked mercilessly on their necks and 3 or 4 times a doctor had to attend to them after them match... heh...

Obv pics needed of you, not the coked out ultimate warrior that wore face paint.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. We had a crazy kid on our team too. He pissed on the freshman in the shower.... everyday.

I sucked a lot of weight.... an unhealthy amount of weight. Looking back on it now I wouldn't do it the same way. But at the time it seemed like the right thing to do for the team. I came from a very small high school and we had trouble filling weight classes, so some people were forced to sacrifice.

I was never "great," but i was above average. I turned in multiple 20+ win seasons in Pennsylvania's District 11, which is arguably the toughest wrestling district in the entire country. Unfortunately I never made any big time noise in the post season. My team went from 1-21 my freshman year to challenging for a state championship my senior year. We lost to the eventual state team champions by 12 pts in the post season tournament (which isn't much in wrestling, because 1 pin is a 12 point swing). Without a forfeit that we had in the lineup we would have been challenging for some hardware.

Ahhhhhh, the good ol' days. I have thousands of wrestling stories... I wish I had enough time to tell them all.

I am an assistant wrestling coach at the high school when I am home. When I settle down I plan on eventually working my way into a head coach position where ever I am.

I will say this: there is NO greater sport out there for a high school athlete to learn discipline, teamwork, and real life skills. There is no tougher high school sport. None. I've played a lot of sports, and nothing compares to the mental toughness that you learn during your time on a wrestling team. I'm sure people will disagree and that's fine, but only those who have wrestled for years will know what I'm talking about.

Glad to see some fellow wrestlers in OT :)

I don't know that I've ever met a wrestler who is a pussy. In the Army, I could tell which of my soldiers had a wrestling background within a few days of training.

Army basic training just felt like another 8 weeks of wrestling practice to me. I can honestly say that wrestling had a huge role in my becoming who I am today. Now, whether or not that's a good thing is a completely different story. Granted, wrestling in Pennsylvania is a much bigger deal than wrestling in most of the other states, but regardless, it was a really influential part of my life.

You bring up some really good points here. I grew up wrestling for 10 years in Oklahoma where wrestling is huge (my teammate wrestled Olympic gold medalist John Smith in the state finals, and another gold medalist Kenny Monday was a few years ahead of me). You make a point about whether its good or bad, and I think for the most part it is good, with all of the toughness and discipline that it instills. There are also some negatives too, and I kind of get back to hygiene when I think of this (lol), but there is some truth to that. My oldest son is a really big kid and I was a little bit dissappointed that he wants to wrestle instead of basketball. But, like was said, the toughness that you build is a great thing, so I can't complain too much.

And yeah, bottom line...pretty much everyone that knew you were a wrestler was not going to fuck with you... and those who didn't know found out the hard way...heh...
