SecretSanta Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 He definitely should be the wrestler of the week. Any kid who can achieve his dream should be wrestler of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBolt Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I can hear the chant beginning... Hunter...Hunter....Hunter....HUNTER....HUNTER....HUNTER!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awood1 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I voted no...with a reason. There are always feel good stories out there of folks that do well for someone else in need. I tottaly agree and understand the sentiment of voting for Hunter as Wrestler of the week. But his victory would not have happened if not for the sacrifice and humility of someone else ....lest not forget the impact of "Tony Mcginley get's pinned tonight in an exibition match with Hunter Bartley(sp) of Roncalli" is changed drastically if it reads "Tony Brown get's pinned tonight in an exibition match with Hunter Bartley(sp) of Roncalli". Hunter brought the desire to exceed the expectations and limitations that others had put in place for him...Tony McGinley put Hunter's desires above his own to make that happen. For that he is a champion. In closing, I would recommend that they be voted as "co-wrestlers of the week" or "Best duo of the week" or "Match of the week".....the character shown by Mr. McGinley would suggest to me that he would desire no such recognition for his part, but his part in the match should be held as an example for others to strive for in their lives.

SecretSanta Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I say Kudos to awood1. You deserve a wahoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestler60160 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 awood1, I agree. I was the original poster of "Tony Mcginley gets STUCK!" and I had seen something last night that made me feel good about the Teams and the people involved in this sport. One person helping another that has challenges everyday of his life. It was no more then passing along that no matter how "hot" competition can get or the rivalries that we talk about, there are good people out there. I bleed Blue and Silver, Perry Meridian but saw a Special situation from our Biggest Rival, a Cathedral wrestler. Feelings set aside, there was a good deed done last night and wanted to thank Tony for that. It was very touching to watch. And I agree that a "Special Match of the Week" would be something that these two would cherish for a long time. And by the way.........Who is Tony Brown? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBolt Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I keep coming back to this post because I sincerely feel BOTH of these young men deserve some form of formal recognition from the Wrestling Community. I am not saying it need be a Ticker Tape Parade, but we do have an obligation to foster this sort of behaviour and encourage this type of selflessness. Wrestling's public image amoung those who are clueless is one of macho knuck draggers beating each other to a pulp. Like I said - those who believe this are mindless - but you get the picture. So it is IMPORTANT we make this side of our sport known! Just my 2 cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scardy94 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Agreed. Co-Wrestlers of the Week sounds perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyVet80 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Why not have C0-wrestlers of the week? This would solve the problem pretty easily. Have Hunter as an honorary wrestler of the week and have whoever had a good week as the W.O.W. Seems like a win win for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
