Wrestling Tangles

Watching wrestling is always interesting. While most of the time it is awkward at times to see all the hugging in skin tight suits, there are the occasions where wrestlers will get tangled up. Most sports athletes need to stretch so they don't pull a muscle. Wrestlers need to stretch so they don't break their bones when tangled up. It is pretty amazing to see the human body bend in ways I really didn't think it should. For that, I give wrestling its credit.

Flip for Wrestling

Wrestling is always an interesting sport. I don't quite know how all the scoring goes, or what is considered a pin and what is not. A lot of times it also can seem like a big hugging match. Maybe I just like football to much. But every once and a while you will see a big slam in wrestling. That slam came in a wrestling match against Pleasant Valley and Paradise high schools.
