My Wrestling Career


When I was a high school freshman, I weighed a mere 68 pounds. The coach of the wrestling team immediately enlisted me as the starting grappler in the 98-pound weight class.

For the next several months, I got my ass kicked by a bunch of similarly stunted punks who savored the joy of tossing around someone 30 pounds lighter than themselves.

By my sophomore year I was at the perfect fighting weight, and I returned to the mat with a vengeance. By the time I graduated, I was the team captain and for a short time I held the school record for the fastest pin - I think it was 18 seconds.

Here's an exciting video of me in action. I'm the guy in the blue tights.

FYI: It's a big file, so be patient for the download.
