Wrestling

When I was a lot younger playing sports wasn’t always easy because of asthma. In the eighth grade, instead of playing basketball after football season, I decided to wrestle instead. One time in the seventh grade I went to the 2013 OKWA Novice State wrestling tournament. After several matches in the tournament I made it to the semi-finals. I won that match in double overtime. It might not seem like much, but I learned a valuable lesson. During that double overtime, I was so exhausted that I…

The immense anticipation before a wrestling match is an amazing sensation of mixed emotions. Every wrestler there has one burning questions in their mind while waiting when will their name be called to get on the mat. Every wrestler is warming up with their coach so they can loosen up their muscles and get the sweat pouring. But, at the same time their mind is racing like stallions in a grassy meadow. It jumps from scenario to scenario never leaving out any meaningless detail. When your card is…

portion of wrestlers like violence because if we did there wouldn’t be a wrestling team. Wrestlers as a community are very close to each other because we bleed, sweat, laugh, starve, and win together. Since wrestling is an individual sport they motivate each other and are brutally honest they have a closer connection than most friends and other sports. Wrestlers are very close mentally and physically because wrestling is such a physical sport. They seem to be the closest because of the hand…

reasons I agree with; however, one reason they never say is, you can learn more than just the rules and technique of the game. Wrestling is the sport that I have participated in and which has become an important element of my life for 11 years now. Even to this day, I still love the intensity and discipline of the sport, and that helps keep my motivation every day. Wrestling has not just made me into the person I am today, but what I will be in the future. The dedication necessary is…

What’s Intergender Wrestling? Intergender wrestling involves mixed gender, professional matches where both men and women can participate. On top of single matches, intergender wrestling may also involve tag teams that consist of both men and women. However, these tag teams are quite different from what people normally know to be mixed tag teams. In the latter tag teams, male and female wrestlers may not attack each other. Additionally, when the tag is initiated, the other team must also switch…

posting a video of the match on the high school’s wrestling page on Facebook and welcoming people comment. “The Wrestling Forum,” a popular site among the wrestling community was a dumping ground for his venom as well. It did not feel like I won; the victory felt hollow, but after a week or so I reevaluated the situation. My dad impressed upon me the value of using this emotion to improve my wrestling. Not only did it improve my wrestling, but I saw my new outlook carry over into my…

have one that I love to participate in myself. That would be the sport of wrestling. The results for this sport is nearly all based on how much you want to put in to the sport. If you don't put a lot of effort into being a better wrestler than you will not get any better. The only way you can get better without practice is by getting stronger, and that is rarely enough to beat good kids. To get better at the sport of wrestling you need to take a couple losses, think about why you lost, and train…

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. He wasn't the big, bulky type like Big Show, Kane, or the Great Khali. He didn't have the good looks that guys like John Cena, Randy Orton or Roman Reigns had. 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…

wasn’t a huge fan of any of these things separately, let alone all in one wrestling practice. If you asked me in middle school how I would look back on my wrestling days, and how those days would develop me over the years, I would have shrugged. That’s a confusing question, I can’t see the future, and who are you to be asking the questions, huh? If you instead asked me now, hypothetically interested reader, how I think wrestling affected me, (besides the obvious brain damage) I would have a…
