Had a good Buddy in the Army was on the Olympic Greco Roman Wrestling team. Great guy to watch your back in a bar fight. If seen him flat out embarrass big muscle heads, in need of an attitude adjusment.
RIP Bruce "Beatle" Bailey. Miss you Brother.

One of my Grandsons was on both high school and college wrestling teams, those kids don't play
, they can have you all knotted up faster than you can say "Jack Rabbit", they can/will when pushed make husky football players scream for mercy........I'm not particularly a fan of the spandex wearing though, too feminine looking for that sport IMO.0 -
i'll second the opinion that football jocks won't mess with the wrestlers. i, 280 lb left tackle, watched a 230 lb linebacker[steriod enhanced] be embarrased mightily by a 160+- wrestler. it wasn't even a contest 3 -
When I was in high school in Donelson, TN back in '66 & '67 the Tennessee School for the Blind (TSB) was across the street from my school. They had a wrestling team that beat everybody around. They were amazing. 0 -
That's one of the few sports that I'll watch on TV. I wrestled in high school and did pretty good.
I think I still hold the record at my high school for the most reversals (32) and pins (17) in a season (22 matches). I'd let guys take me down just so I could get the reversal. I never did make it to state, I dislocated my collar bone the last match of the season before districts the one year I probably would have.
Man! That was a long time ago!!!0 -

Man! That was a long time ago!!!I Was pretty much the opposite. I was basically a takedown artist. I would just take guys down and let them go over and over. Wasn't real good on top so never got many pins. I had 162 takedowns my senior year in 38 matches, I think I gave up something like 128 escapes from letting people go all the time. I did alot of freestyle and Greco-Roman also so that kind of helped with being on my feet.

I was undefeated in backseat style during college. 0 -
Wrestlers are a tough bunch. I have always been impressed with those people that took judo, too.
