People have always called their favorite sport the greatest.

Whether it's football, basketball, hockey, soccer..

Maybe others are more entertaining to watch, easier to keep up with.

But wrestling, has got to be the most emotional, the most physically and mentally demanding sport out there.

Everyday, I see guys almost in tears because they lost a match, and I've seen countless more who are helped off the mat because of an injury. When you step on that mat, ready to face your opponent, nothing else matters. Family issues, school, what new thing Miley Cyrus is doing. It's just you, and him.

You fight to break them.. Not just their body, but their will. It's the greatest feeling ever. But it can also turn into Hell.

That's why I truly believe that wrestling is the "realest" sport.

We don't bring in the fans, we don't let you see how hard we work everyday during practice.

We are called gay and countless other names for what we do. Don't know how many times I've been asked the question, "Why would you want to roll around with a bunch of sweaty guys in tight spandex?"

I just smile and say......

"It's the only thing I know"
