Shally and Katz express struggles common to men such as good vs. evil, power vs. submissiveness, and work vs. ownership. Gender, like race and class, is a part of professional wrestling. Professional wrestling leaves little surprise that boys to act act masculine. As Katz says, “we get a very traditional and very conservative version of masculinity represented as an ideal of physical strength, the ability to control and scare other people, to intimidate, and especially to not back away from…

I started wrestling in 6th grade and I was pretty bad but I would be incomplete without wrestling. Wrestling has had a big impact on my life because it has taught me not to give up, to do my best and there is always room for improvement. When I started wrestling, I didn’t think I would like it as much as I do now. I actually thought about quitting that season. The workouts were rough with all the running and drills we did. Slowly, I started to like the sport. I finished 6th grade year winning a…

else matters inside this room besides one thing and that is improving your skills as a wrestler. Unlike a basketball court or a football field, which are used for many different activities, the wrestling room is for work only. Isolated from the rest of the school with a set of heavy metal doors, the wrestling room contains two full sized mats that cover the floor and go halfway up the walls along with a speaker mounted up in each corner. The parts of the walls not covered in mat, are decorated…

Wrestling is a hard sport with many challenges along your season. It is the longest sport season in middle, and take a lot of perseverance to get the job done.

We were so hungry we have eaten a cow.(Fig. Language) I was…

Well, the real sport of wrestling dates back to before the first olympic games were held back in ancient Greece in 776 B.C. The sport of wrestling was actually the sport that started the great thing today that we call the olympics. Wrestling has many components that people would not…

I played the sport with a passion, even though it wasn’t my favorite. There were tons of stories and memoires that I made over the years, however there is one that would go down in my schools history. One of my favorite memories of high school wrestling, that would be the moment when I saved the team by winning the last match and beating one of our rivals, Timberland. The event was held at my school Francis Howell Central. I wrestled in the heavy weight class, even though I was under weight…

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. Personally, I enjoy this time because ever since I was little, wrestling is by far my favorite sport. Another thing is that whenever you watch the NCAA’s, you will always be entertained without a doubt. Sometimes, there is the annual number one seed vs. the number sixteen seed matchup, however; there have been…

it makes you nervous and makes you want to back out? Why choose wrestling as your sport when you can do basketball? Why settle with tough sport like wrestling? These are only few of the questions I wanted to ask the wrestlers whenever they have a wrestling match. I am not a fan of wrestling actually because of the fact that wrestlers hurt each other for the sake of winning. I do not know. All I know whenever I hear the word wrestling there are bruises, scratches, and even messed up shoulder. And…

Why wrestling should stay in the Olympics? Since the 2020 Olympics were coming up the Olympic committee wanted to take the sport of wrestling to be removed from the Olympics but if you think about it what was the sport that began the Olympics and was one of the first sports.
