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!

Sorry about your brother's loss. Hope he gets a medal at Fargo to make up for it this summer!

Hope so too and thanks man.

Side note: have you heard about the Rocky Lombardi vs. Wyatt Wriedt fiasco from the 220 lb. finals at Iowa's state finals last Saturday? The call(s) were so bad that the ref is apparently receiving threats to himself and his family. He straight up robbed Lombardi of that title...stole it from him...it was bad.

Lombardi is getting a full ride to play QB at Michigan State. The way he conducted himself after the match is probably the best display of sportsmanship I've ever seen. Wriedt on the other hand was totally in Rocky's face in his celebration. I don't know if I've ever seen anything quite like this.

It's on the front page of Flo, last I knew...I'll see if YouTube has anything.

Wrestling is Awesome! I have 2 sons who wrestle. We live in Allen, Tx
My oldest son is a senior. Last year he placed 4th in state. This year he placed 2nd. Lost a very close match 6-4. Tuff lost specially as a senior. He's a 3× District champion 2× Regional champion. He's thinking about wrestling in college. He'll start freestyle and greco practice this Monday. He has been to Fargo 2 years ago last year he didn't want to go this year he does. He started to wrestle as a freshman. So I'm very proud of him for what he has accomplished in a short time. Going up against kids who have been wrestling since they were 5 or 6 years old. Allen high school is the best wrestling high school in the state of Texas. 8× state tournament champions 9× dual state champions. All in a row. Awsome coach.
As for my lil boy he is 8. This is his rookie year. He's a fast leaner. He went 3-2 at his state tournament. He will also wrestle freestyle and greco, his choice. Don't want to burn him out but he wants to wrestle he told me he don't want to play any other sport. He's a really good baseball player. Now I start all over with him. Very emotional for us wrestling parents.

KcAllDayCHIEFS · 03-11-2017, 09:29 AM

We see Kendall Cross a lot. He does private workouts. Good guy

I follow their program a little bit since they are the only national power that Texas has. Great program. Glad to hear your son is gonna wrestle FS/Greco. I think Texas could have a decent showing at Junior/Cadet Duals and Fargo this year.

Right on! I've seen some really, realllly good Texas wrestlers over the years. My 19 year old brother wrestles NAIA in college and one of his best friends on the team is from Houston.

Looks like we were pretty close to being in the same boat with how your kid and my brother did at state. My youngest brother got 6th as a Freshman, 5th as a Sophomore and 2nd a few weeks ago at state. Even similar scores...he got beat 7-4 by a kid who is wrestling for Iowa next year. He said the finals experience was overwhelming, but a learning experience for him. And he is still growing a lot...will probably jump another 2-3 weights next year. He has jumped 2-3 weights every year. He is wanting to go D1... I think by next year, he will be at that level. Hoping to have a good Fargo showing this year...this runner-up finish really lit a candle under his butt.

I know what you mean by the emotional roller coaster and starting over. My parents had me (34) and the second oldest brother (32) who was a 3 time finalist/1 time champ, Folkstyle national runner-up and a Fargo AA in Freestyle. Then 12 years later, out of nowhere, they had the 19 and 17 year olds...so it was like right when we finished, it was time for those two to begin. It's been fun!

Good luck to your sons! He wanting to do Fargo this year? Sounds like he is doing great, especially since he began as a Freshman! Imagine how good your youngest will be when he hits the HS/Cadet/Junior scene!!

I've heard he is pretty cool from friends of mine who have met him or gone to his clinics.

I think it was his match where he beat Terry Brands that prompted the "you get what you earn" quote from Terry that has been receiving a lot of buzz on Twitter lately...from that "Terry" documentary on flowrestling.com.

KcAllDayCHIEFS · 03-11-2017, 04:42 PM

Yea it's been fun the last 4 years. Freshman year was tuff. He won like 3 matches. After that the light turned on. He wrestled at 120# last year and this year. We talked to Arizona State. See what happens.
