I have a lot of fans and friends from Ohio. It seemed like everywhere I went I was meeting new people and shaking hands with them and even taking pictures. Zeb Miller might be one of my biggest fans right along side Zach Smart. Zeb Miller hooked me up with a hotel room and rides from everywhere. He also found two extra cameras to shoot matches with. I did the majority of my work in his hotel room before I would crash hard. A state meet like Ohio you are running around 100 mph and your sleep intervals are pretty small.

On top of that you might notice that he was taking the initiative to doing interviews on his own. I loved it because he had so much insight on the Ohio scene that I was oblivious towards. Then there was Zch Smart. He was cool because he proactively tried to help me film the finals. Without him it would have been hard to get all those matches. He is creating a documentary and despite his desire to film for it still made sure I had the best footage possible. I couldnt have done the work I did without those guys.

Thanks to everyone in Ohio who made me feel like I was home.

Hi Martin,

Great site. Thank you and the team for your work. I was unable to attend the CIF state championships and as I'm watching the matches, the 125 lb (Klaus vs. Garcia) vido begins and then stops half way through first period. Is there any way to fix?
Thank you,
jack johnson

Martin - were you heading into the Varsity Club about 1:30-ish...I was on the way out with Cruiser and my brother. I yelled "FLO!!" and the real or imagined Martin Floreani turned and looked. Regardless, great job. Love the site!

Great Job Martin with all you are doing. You have made wrestling more accessible to everyone with your site. Are you going to be covering Michigan this weekend or will someone be taping matches and posting them?
