I am proud to have wrestled at Busco!

I am "weighing in" on this one... Win Win and The Hammer are my favorites, but since I wrestled in the 80's, Vision Quest will always get my heart pumping... Its the warm up montage with Lunatic Fringe people...

Wow... I have wrestled Rod hundreds of times, and one time CJ did lat drop me. As the senior Puking Billy Goat, I think we need to rectify this. Lets find an open mat, I still owe Joe one for that lat drop, and Rod needs to prove how nice of a guy he is...

No tape on head gear...no head gear on head

What about the headgear that breaks during a match? Happened on my mat two weeks ago... Today a kid was worried that he needed a new one cause the cover over the strap was tearing... -
There used to be a lot of Senior guys at local tournaments, I guess 20-somethings these days are pansies. I used to have 12 in my weightclass at Senior 149.5 every week and always different guys.

As a father of 5 maybe 6 boys (in May), I give this one a lot of thought. Each kid is a little different of competing. Practicing and learning fundamental technique can happen at any age, but if the kid ain't feelin' it don't try to make them concentrate, it will just make you mad. Competition with other opponents, start slow. Smaller is better than bigger. Bigger tournaments require many wins in order to place and awards are good. As far as training the way most of us consider it, only a few wrestlers can handle hardcore stuff before about 6th grade. After that if they are going to wrestlers they will. I have a Pee Wee, Bantam, and Novice. The youngest hasn't wrestled yet, Bantam wants to be Indiana Jones and I took Novice to FS/GR State last year. He won a couple and made great progress but he burned out too and he isn't competing this year. At 10 years I am not giving up. I used to think kids that started early had an advantage. After over 20 years of watching kids divisions at local tournaments, many of the kids wrestling young are not the same ones in high school. I would rather my kids wrestle later rather than earlier. eryc
