Freestyle wrestling

Once you’ve wrestled everything else in life is easy. Wrestling starts around October so by that time anyone who wrestles is settled and comfortable in terms of the classroom while starting to get focused on the upcoming season. That comfortability I was gaining would soon disappear for a long time. I learned this my freshmen year after I joined the small 13 man team at my high school that pretty much no one had even heard of. Wrestling interested me although I had no expectations of success…

Science (Wrestling) Wrestling is a really interesting topic. However people don’t now but there is more than slams and chokes, there is a science behind it. Wrestling is more than just a sport; it is a way of life. And for those who enjoy wrestling it is something that takes the mind off from all of life’s troubling times, and puts one man versus another to get their hand raised. Competition makes everything evolve, and there is no other sport that teaches what competition truly is. Wrestling…

What is wrestling? When most people think of wrestling, the first thing that comes to their mind is the fake “professional” wrestling you see on television with the goofy costumes, silly names and the use of props. Well, the real sport of wrestling dates back to before the first olympic games were held back in ancient Greece in 776 B.C.

But he was not just extremely talented, but he was very over with the WWE Universe and the Universe loved him. During the first season of WWE NXT (the season which gave…

I separate my life into two parts: before professional wrestling and after professional wrestling. It sounds ridiculous but professional wrestling has made me the person I am today. I started watching wrestling when I was about nine years old. Before that time and up to that time, I had no friends. Literally, no one I knew I would have considered a friend. It wasn't for a lack of trying on my part, maybe it was because of a lack of social skills. I was the fat kid in class. I wasn't the only fat…
