My family and I got the honor to meet this very special wrestler and his family a few months ago. My 13 yr old son was diagnosed in January with Leukemia. Steve hearing about my son Dillyn, and that he was a middle school wrestler took the time out of his own busy personal life to come and meet him. Every since that second week of treatment Steve and his family has been there by our side. He has given Dillyn the strength and courage to keep fighting to win this battle. From bone marrows to lumbar puncture he has been there. I am proud to say that Steve, Katie and the boys are not only now our friends but our choosen family. Glad to have them on Dillyn's side. Dillyn is fighting like a champion with a GREAT role model to follow.

Great wrestler, but more importantly, great guy.....I also have to agree with how the interviews are ended. It catches people off guard and they usually do not have anything interesting/important to say.

Why do you end EVERY interview asking, "got anything else for us"? This isn't a normal question, and most people just say no, because they don't really know how to respond to it. Perhaps asking, "do you have anything else to say to your fans on flo?" or something more specific like that.

good to see Mocco interviewed, he seems very normal. In college, he looked like he just wanted to eat rocks and break arms. having kids will bring you back to earth.

I did not know Mocco had teeth.
One of the greatest wrestlers of All Time.....and the book is not finished on him. No doubt he is gunning for 2012. He is back in Iowa ? So Iowa - Okla St - Iowa. No disrespect to Mocco but sis is hot.

I have never seen that side of him before and I like it! Family man and stud wrestler, I knew he had that side in him after seeing the movie the season when his dad spoke about missing his childhood and how family was first in his life. I wish him well and can't wait to see him here in Az for the sunkist international tournament. Steve your the man.
