wow! didn't see that coming...that is true raw emotion. Ben makes a great point the fear of failure really holds a lot of wrestlers back. Good to see Max could overcome that & good interview.

Dude you're a moroon...you've probably never won anything in your life. On another note, I was so happy to see Max win a title.

There is nothing like the bond between brothers. I saw an interview a few years ago and Ben almost cried when he was asked about Max being eliminated from the NCAA's as the #1 seed. This interview shows us the human side of wrestlers and the way that the sport can have an affect on us off the mat and how we relate to each other as family. It's awesome when we see the ones we love be all that they can be regardless if they win or lose.

WOW! Where else would a fan get such a personal glimpse inside the pyche of an elite athlete...Only on FLO! Ben and Max took MIZZOU to the next level. Their leadership and deidication will be sorely missed. Thx for all of the memories. I am a Askren fan for life! Ben/Max and best of luck in all your future endeavors.

One of the best things I have seen on Flo. We would not get this type of stuff anywhere else. Wrestlers talking Wrestling to Wrestlers. They trust Flo because they know you care and understand.

True emotion. True insight. Always Flo! Take a bow Flo Crew your work is as good as I have ever seen.
So True….Go FLOW

do you find it ironic that ben was talking about his brother not winning a title all the previous years while jared rosholt was warming up in the back?
