when I lost my varsity spot for the 138 pound weight class on my high school wrestling team. The previous year as a freshman I had been very successful making it to state and helping my team win the state championship, but I was a 106 pounder, the lowest weight class. Over the summer I gained nearly thirty pounds, and I was now wrestling at the 138 pound weight class. I wasn't use to the weight. The kids I were wrestling felt stronger, were harder to take down, and I struggled with my…

I’ve been only wrestling for one year, but yet it feels like it has been a lifetime of memories. Wrestling as a sport, teaches you character, strengthens your mind and your core.

Pro Wrestler Do you remember watching wrestling as a kid? Ever since I was a little kid I was all ways hooked on watching wrestling. I remember watching my favorite wrestler of all time Edge. I remembered as a kid all ways watching Edge and cheering for him I always liked "heels" more. If you don’t know what a heel is, it’s a "bad" guy in wrestling. 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…

I started wrestling for the Smithville Youth Wrestling Club. At the time I was in the fifth grade and I was 12 years old. At first I hated the idea of wrestling because of the tight singlet you had to wear, and also the idea of people making fun of you because of “rolling around with other guys”. Plus to make thing worse a lot of the other kids there have already wrestled since they were 5 which gave them more experience. I remember coming home from practice and just hating wrestling because it…

Johnson switched to wrestling and made debut in the WWF against the mighty Brooklyn Brawler. Soon after, he started…

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. Within the first few minutes, I quickly learned something about myself: I was terrible at wrestling. I had absolutely no idea what to do and spent…

Junior High School wrestling team. I chose this project because I believed as a senior and with five years of experience why not benefit the younger generation of forks wrestlers.
