Wrestling against the best

[nooks]

Wrestlers who never had the chance often ask..."What was it like to wrestle a great one?" The best answer I ever heard was "Nothing I tried that usually worked, worked." And, "I was 2-steps behind and 10 dollars short the entire match..."
The best answer for me was it felt like I was wrestling someone 2 weight classes heavier.

My brother wrestled Lee Kemp before Kemp became REALLY good. He lost 5-2 to him which doesn't't sound too bad but he said it was the worst 5-2 kicking he ever took. He told me that it felt like he walked into a wind mill over and over.
