Wrestlers are very close mentally and physically because wrestling is such a physical sport. They seem to be the closest because of the hand…
Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, and many more from around the nation travel to one location to face off and battle for the crown, however; only ten wrestlers can win it all.

But just being 5 or so, I knew nothing about the wrestling business just that they were fighting and wanted the championship. But now I now that…

sport, but decided to join the team anyway. I bought myself wrestling shoes and headgear and went to the first wrestling practice of the season. The wrestling room reeked of sweat and was relatively small. An old maroon rubber mat covered the entire floor, just as dirt covered all the windows. I put my wrestling shoes on and started practice.

When Daniel Bryan first made his debut in the WWE back in February 2010 on WWE NXT (then a reality/wrestling hybrid show), he was unlike most main event level Superstars.
