I can't be the only wrestling fan on this site. In fact, I know I that's not the case. The almighty king of n00bs, Sorter, is a wrestling fan. I figure there could be more.....????

Discuss anything wrestling related:

Youth wrestling: Heck, wrestling in Iowa has a rabid Youth wrestling scene...I lived through it, my younger brother lived through it and my brothers who are 15 and 13 are living through it, well the 13 year old is anyway...he's in high school. The 13 year old is a 7th grader who has been wrestling since he was 5 years old and has accumulated 4 state championships since his second grade year...a total badass. Believe it or not, Iowa has a youth wrestling forum that is hopping...even during the summer. Iowans take this stuff seriously. I'm assuming other states have rabid youth followings, for when I watch my bros at National tourneys, we are constantly running into kids and super clubs from other states that are amazing. Ironically, one of the biggest youth tourneys our club hits annually is the Park Hill Individual and Dual tournament...which to my knowledge is in Kansas City (I've never attended that one). Do any of you have kids who are wrestling? If so, how are they doing?

High School Wrestling: High school and college wrestling in Iowa is big... we are known for it, ask AC Slater. State tournament is a big, televised event at the Wells Fargo dome...you will see probably 10 times more spectators at state wrestling in Iowa then any other high school sporting event in Iowa. With some of the crazy talent I have seen/wrestled against at Fargo Nationals, I am assuming that it's either on the rise or just as big in other states as well... What are your thoughts on some of the high school wrestlers and/or teams out there?

College Wrestling: Hell, you Missourians semi-recently had those Askren brothers. I've never met Max, but have met Ben. He was the celebrity guest at Iowa Grade School State one year...he signed autographs and handed the medals and wall charts to all of the kids on the podium that year, which was cool because my youngest brother won it that year and was able to get his championship singlet signed by him. I was with my brother when he approached him....Askren struck me as a funny, goofy type of dude. I don't know Max, but someone posted his blog on an Iowa wrestling message board and the dude seems like a character. I know there are some Oklahomans' who post on this board. Anyone see Okie State defeat Iowa this past weekend? Iowa's first dual loss of the year. Anyone have any thoughts on college wrestling?

International Wrestling: Any of you have any thoughts on the international wrestling scene? Future Olympians, future Olympic champs, future World champs, Greco, Freestyle, etc.?

Wrestling Memories/General Discussion: Any of you have any memories you'd like to share from your personal experience(s) of wrestling when you were in youth, high school or college? Any opinions on females wrestling with males. Last year, a girl named Megan Black made history in Iowa by placing at state. Do you believe females should be able to wrestle with males at that age? Any thoughts on weight cutting? What are some of the most memorable matches to you? Who are your favorite wrestlers? One match that always sticks out to me is this:

Crazy match.

My favorite wrestler (besides my bros and former teammates) of all time is ironically not an Iowan. I don't really have a favorite team in wrestling...I root for individuals. It's a dude from Ohio that I initially hated because I didn't like the way he conducted himself after a match vs. my brother in the national duals when he and my brother were Seniors in High School, in which he defeated my brother. Kid was cocky. He and my brother both went on to wrestle D1, so I followed him since I knew who he was. I ended up becoming a huge fan of the kid's style...the kid could hit cradles from ANY position. He went on to win 2 National titles for Ohio State...and did so both years as an underdog, for he'd lose quite a few silly matches during the season, presumably due to his risky, but dangerous style that worked well for him at NCAA Nationals. It's a dude named Jeff Jaggers. First vid is what really put his name on the map as a high school wrestler. 2nd vid is his 1st NCAA championship as a Junior, in a match where he was a huge underdog, broke his ankle during the match and gutted it out and won. My favorite wrestlers tend to be the ones who are risk takers or brawlers...not afraid to be aggressive or take chances. I can't stand stallish wrestlers who are successful as hell simply because they don't open up and therefore don't give up points and score their own points by capitalizing on the other wrestler's aggression. Boring.

So what ya got?

Note: I have been posting on wrestling message boards for 12 years and I (and I'm sure everyone else involved with the sport) have heard every wrestling joke (rolling around with men, etc.) imaginable, but if ya want to clown on the sport, shoot... it was inevitable to happen anyways on CP, so have at it!

Ugh... Hugs and pizza....Hugs and pizza..

I was 30' from the mat. He was a machine all weekend and definitely stood out. We were cheering for him. Nothing to be ashamed of.....he had it until the last minute and that other kid is a stud. 160 was probably most loaded weight there...

We did witness a rare event...2 4 time champs at the same weight on adjacent mats. Pretty awesome.

Don't hang the heads too long, your family has a lot to celebrate with those careers.

6 days left you MU****s. Who gives a shit about basketball. Look at this ****ing team. Should probably place third.

125- McGhee- Unseeded
133- Erneste- 5th seed
141- Eierman- 2nd seed
149- Leeth- 3rd seed (this dude came out of ****ing nowhere)
157- Lavallee- 2nd seed
165- Flynn- Unseeded
174- Lewis- 3rd seed
184- Marriott- 15th seed
197- Miklus- 6th seed

Miklus got a 6th year waiver, so only one senior worth a shit on this stacked team.

I think Lewis could shock the world this week. I’ve got him as one of my picks in most the pools I’m in.

Love this Mizzou lineup.

Leeth was a monster in HS, just had the neck injury. Johnston’s been good for his style.

Think 33,41,49, 74, and 97 AA with Canten losing in the R12.

Champ picks are
Cruz
Gross
Eierman
Zain
Lavallee
IMar
Valencia
Bo
Haught
Snyder

My picks are:

125: NATO
133: Gross
141: Eierman (almost picked Yianni)
149: Duh...Zain
157: Nolf... I’ve heard so many rumors about how serious or non-serious his injury is... if injury is affecting him to a moderate to severe extent, I’ll go with Hidlay...
165:IMAR
174: Lewis
184: Bo
197: Darmstadt
HWT: Coon

This Kennedy Monday kid who beat Lavallee...is that Kenny Monday’s son? My dad was a huge fan of Monday when I was a kid.

Well, these picks were a lot worse than the ones I put in my pools at work for $...thank God.

Lot of crazy shit has happened this week.

Did anyone see Austin DeSanto (best known for beating Spencer Lee in the finals in Lee’s Senior year when he was wrestling to become a 4 time state champion last year) try to break Stevan Micic’s arm with a Jiu Jitsu Kimura bar?!?? This happened in the last 10 seconds when DeSanto knew it was over. That kid is literally insane. If he’s not autistic, he’s a punk ass!

I watched a bunch of interviews of those two after that. There is something up with that DeSanto kid...he’s not right. Micic was cool, calm and collected as hell in his interview...and funny. He said stuff like, “well, he must not be used to taking an ass beating like that” and “man, when he beat me earlier this year, I had just lost to Pletcher and didn’t want to be on the mat afterwards, but 10 minutes later I have to wrestle that kid (DeSanto) who wrestles all crazy and in your face and tries to break your arm. It’s weird, if you don’t give him your right arm, he can’t shoot, which I feel bad, for there might be something wrong with him.” I dunno if that’s word for word, but it was a good interview... I’ll have to dig some of these up and embed.

There is a lot of serious debate as to whether DeSanto has autism right now and how he should be handled because of it....there is definitely something wrong with him.

Oh, and speaking of Spencer Lee...holy cow that kid shocked the hell out of me yesterday. I didn’t think beating NATO like that was possible.
