Having experienced all 3, No way do those compare to a the stereotypical rasslin dad.
It's likely due to the manner in which a rasslin dad can be so close to the mat and 'coach' his son as well as bitch and moan to the ref during the match. Then admonish his son like Kreese did Johnny for winning 2nd place
I wrestled for 5 years in HS. There were ZERO of these parents that I observed. ZERO.
Just not tolerated. It's up to everyone involved to determine what is right and wrong.

Not hardly. 8-12 grade.

GPA was usually above average.
I know we had one salutatorian two national merit finalists, and a few semi-finalists when I was on the team. Hardworking guys. We still embraced the jock image and rocked the letterman because we were some of the biggest guys in school (again, no football or bball)

It was a joke, dude. I realize that HS years used to be different.

Our coach forced us to run with the CC team. A couple guys were asked to join the CC team and compete with them. Not me though.

I probably knew you IRL. I wrestled under MS and SH at your rival school. I knew KS and RD when they coached at BMHS.

Our volleyball team acted as our informal cheerleaders and we reciprocated by attending their matches. Good times.
Seems like every wrestling or grappling camp I went to had a little gang of girls who hung around the gym.
One of the private schools had a team "manager" who was also a cheerleader. At a house party circa 2001 she got in a shouting match with another girl and shot in for a double leg, turned the corner and put her down hard and went right to mount

Sure, some folks made fun of the wrestlers, but anyone who gets to know anything about the sport respects it more than most. I gave up other sports just to wrestle in high school (my Dad was a state champ at Holy Cross way back)--and Yep...all of the above quotes were true for my team. The few football players who wrestled on our team would be huffing and puffing at wrestling--said no football practice was ever that tough. Two of our wrestlers graduated in the top 10 grads my senior year and had highest GPA for any team also--and I got to repeat my Dad's accomplishment.

Neither of the quotes you attributed to me are mine. We're on the same team, bro.

I wrestled all four years in H.S. and one year for LSU's club team. Every guy I wrestled with were great leaders and men on and off the mat. Wrestling is definitely a sport that takes discipline and confidence. Two important traits to being successful in life.
Also, most football players wrestle to stay in shape for football. Not vice versa. Every year after football season was over we would have 5-10 football players try out for wrestling and couldn't cut it. Being in wrestling condition is completely different than any other sport.

Sorry, Navytiger, didn't mean them to seem that way. Just cited some quotes from various other posts.

I probably know you too. Wrestled under RD and KS and won a title for BM.

the one's I knew were cool dudes some of my best friends, but they all got these ridiculous pins for their letterman jackets every year and I swear they would be gayer and gayer each year with two men in various wrestling positions, I still laugh about those things.

they were bad arse baws that no wanted to mess with
whenever you messed with one, you messed with all of them
they were probably a bigger clique than football, but most of the football players wrestled

Low keyed guys that could kick your arse if necessary.

Little bit crazy. Crazy workouts, very in shape (except heavyweights), don't pick fights with them at parties.
