"As hard as it might be for fans to believe, very seldom do we have any clue who the wrestlers are."
???
I am assuming you are pointing at me and thinking there is some sort of issue?
Let's be a little realistic here.
Lance was a four time AA at OSU and a four time OHSAA champion, right?
Plus, the intent of this particular post is to let wrestling fans know that he was fighting last night.
Read very closely and my comment was that we "seldom" have any idea who the wrestlers are. Of course there are exceptions. Lance happens to be one who, in his day, everyone knew. Didn't mean too much when he got on the mat and got to work.
I would be willing to bet a lot of money that in any given event, I don't know but maybe 1 or 2 wrestlers in 100. Maybe not that many. If I know them personally (like I know the family), I stay completely away from their matches. I would NEVER do them. I know the coaches much better. Even then, the contest comes down to red and green and their ability on the mat.
Just trying to stir the pot, I guess.
