Just like the scar I've had dogs for most of my life but one thing that I've not had my whole life till recently is the interest of a underrated sport that is almost like football known as rugby one of the coolest sports ever.

Wrestling interested me although I had no expectations of success considering I was joining one of the hardest sports around five years later than most others; with this being said the drive to win was still in my blood.…
