Anyone here do high school wrestling?

Just curious. I tried it out for one year as a junior and got my a$$ kicked every match, but it was a good experience.

The practices were the toughest conditioning I have ever been through and wrestlers are the toughest athletes in my opinion.

No matter what you say, wrestling is gay...literally.

Then being a UFC champion must be "gay," too.

Yea sure, whatever you say. If you had to fight an athlete from any sport, a wrestler is the last person you would want to face.

Wrestling is the ONLY sport that if you let your guard down or give up for 2 seconds ONLY you will get pinned. I know, because this happened to me almost every match.

Mctwist, you are right about respect. X-Country is another tough and grueling sport that absolutely gets no respect.

i do x country and track also. about the respect thing, i don't give a damn if people don't respect it, and neither should you. i do it for my own good and my health, not to win over strangers who i will never see again. and i also do it to meet chicks =P (its a bonus).

Nobody respects swimmers either. I remember the wrestling team used to call us gay... I thought that was too much. :crackup:

Swimming is another tough, grueling sport. I was never on the swim team, but I know how tiring laps can be!

I am sure the gay thing had to do with the speedos you guys had to wear, just my 2 cents.

I'll never forget my long distance h.s. track coach pointing over to the baseball players practicing and say "What they are doing is cake".
