Wrestling Blogs - Jim Brown

I attended the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals in Cedar Falls, IA this weekend. This event has always been one of my favorites because most of the best schools from every division of college wrestling compete. For one weekend the UNI Dome becomes the melting pot of wrestling. Among those attending are some of the most frequent posters on wrestling forums across the nation. Saturday evening after day 1 I had a chance to meet a few of them face-to-face while enjoying a Dutch beverage at The Other Place.




Hammerlock125

A wrestling star at Bayside High School in California, Hammerlock believes that Cael Sanderson invented wrestling. His favorite thread is, “If Dan Gable were wrestling today, there’s no way he beats Dustin Schlatter.”



Hotmatbabe

An Iowa fan, she was a classmate of Si Roberts when he became the first African-American NCAA wrestling champion. She had trouble learning about the internet, but now that she has she’s constantly posting. (blogger’s note – she sure can knock back the beers!).



Puxatawnyphil

Phil knows his wrestling facts and constantly corrects other posters. His favorite assertion is that there would be no college wrestling if it weren’t for Pennsylvania. He was sitting at the corner of the bar when I walked into the OP.







flamethrower99

The nastiest guy on the internet – flamethrower99 has been thrown off every wrestling forum but one. Only his beloved Colt College Pistols are worthy of a kind word. All other wrestlers are “azzes, idiots and girly-men”.

Quite frankly, this one surprised me a little.

He pretends to know about wrestling.
