World Championship Wrestling

Tourettes's. The neurologist at Phoenix Children's Hospital told my mom that getting me involved in a sport would help reduce my ticks, as it would require more focus. Man, my mom jumped right into the task. Before I knew it she had me signed up for wrestling. I knew nothing about the sport, it was just the first one starting. I figured I would give it a try, what could it hurt. That was the beginning of a great love and learning about fear. I remember the first day at practice. I had no…

The attraction of professional wrestling. Professional wrestling is half theater, half stee chair shots to the head. Professional wrestling may never be commonly understood. Each adult admirer of professional wrestling has encountered those people who turn their heads and ask, “You do know it’s fake, right?” “I don’t care. I love the pageantry, the athleticism, even the incredibly cheesy acting. I look at wrestling as theater at it 's most base, and guess what? So do most of the fans. We know…

each year passes, more facets of popular culture become somewhat like wrestling: a stage-managed reality in which scripted storylines bleed spontaneously into actual events, with the fuzzy line between fact and fiction seeming to intensify, not diminish, the viewer’s obsession with the melodrama. The modern media landscape is scattered with reality shows that viewers know that are not real; that basically, is professional wrestling. In the same vein as soap operas, melodrama can be established…

The unique experience I’ve had as a wrestling coach will be the influence of my 2 academic work and goals at Colorado Christian University. Fifteen years’ worth of experience at two schools and in two separate periods of my life. I started coaching wrestling right out of high school and after seven years quit for various reasons. Four years later I returned and have been going strong since. One could argue that my influence comes from a talk I had with my son Adrian when he was eight years old…

wouldn’t accomplish is my freshman year in wrestling. I was always a good athlete in every sport i played. I was damn near unstoppable. We just started the season for wrestling and i was the only person in the 135 weight class so i automatically was on varsity. When i figured out that i was on varsity i started lifting and practicing a lot more because i wanted to be the best. As the season progressed, i started winning a lot more matches at wrestling meets. At our last tournament meet, i had a…

People ask me, “Why... Why do I wrestle?” Then they say, “Wrestling is so gay.” My answer to that question always seems to be, “I don't know. Why do you play with balls?” But, to be honest, I don't really know why I wrestle. I mean, rolling around a mat with sweaty guys isn't exactly my idea of what I call fun, and imagine after all of that you lose. That's just a lose, lose situation. The only win, win situation is when you win by either disqualification or default. Maybe I’m overreacting, but…

you walk in the doors for the first time, you don’t see a normal gym; there’s no treadmills everywhere…”. Xavier Woods mentions that he is thankful that John would give out his gym.

During this time period I felt like a very good wrestler. I was going to National Duals, in Council Bluff, Iowa. A lot of things happened from around March-April. I was wrestling in Subdistricts at 92 lbs. one year ago. The next day I had to make 90 lbs. for middle school duals. If I place in the top 6 places I have a chance to be an alternate or on a dual team for Team Kansas. I got picked up for sub weigh ins by Kaydin Bruner. After about 30 minutes ago I arrived. I was starving just like I…

Your body will endure a lot during your wrestling career. Its not all about what you do to keep your self safe, your coach should teach you the proper way to wrestle so you wont injury yourself or someone else while you wrestle. Wrestling is…

these accomplishments is mental strength. The day a child is born to the day someone passes due to old age, the mind is constantly working every second. People possess the mental capacity to do amazing things, without these extraordinary feats, the world would be a different place entirely.
