You can't get in much better shape than when you're a wrassler or you'll get your ass kicked. Way tougher and more grueling than football, or most other sports. I suppose water polo is similar in that you don't get resting time.

I was a freshman in high school before I lost a match, and that was to a junior from Foss HS on his way to win state that year. That guy fvcked me up, but I got a varsity letter for wrestling in that tournament. Wrestlers are tough because wrestling is tough. It makes you tough mentally and physically.

I used to scrap from time to time, too, but that was many years ago and the only thing I fight now is the urge to murder people, so I won't be in any future cage matches - but I would like to attend any brawls to show my support for the participants.

Keep me posted.
