#26	Correct December 16, 2007 at 1:14pm griff was actually getting the better of those battles, back then. reply
#25	Josh "yes That Josh" December 15, 2007 at 11:52pm on a wrestling video talking about the importance of wrestling videos hmmmm kidding aside Ernie has done alot for NJ wrestling you can go into any room in the state and they know about the edge. The first time I heard about the edge was back in high school in upstate NY, I remember hearing Griff Powell was crossing the border into jersey and going to the edge and havin some battles with Donnie Pritzlaff reply
#24	Jersey Devil December 15, 2007 at 10:25am Three guys go to heaven and plead their case to God. First guy says, "I'm Damion Logan, I've won 3 state titles two time AA and have the best facilities in the country. I should get in." Second guy says, "I'm Scott Goodale, i've been the coach of the year twice and I'm bringing Rutgers Wrestling to a respectable level. I should get in." Third guy says, "I'm Ernie Monaco, and you're in my seat!" reply
#23	Joe Los JR October 7, 2007 at 2:05pm ernie is the effin man..daves pretty cool too haha i couldent have wished for better guys to teach me reply
#22	Anonymous October 5, 2007 at 5:37am When you think that Donnie Pritzlaff, Zack Esposito, Steve Mocco, Joe Dubuque, Nick Fekete, and Kurt Backes, are all former Edge guys that will make a legit run at making the US Olympic Team in 08. Thats nuts! Maybe someone could convince Mat Valenti, Dave Espo, Cory Cooperman, and Glenn Pritz to join their fellow alum. Best of luck to those Edge guys following their dream. reply
#21	B.ard October 5, 2007 at 1:27am I have watch ernie over the past 10 years coach my son and there is not an other coach in the world who is as patient,caring and focused.He might be the best Teacher I have ever been around, all sports! Thanks Ernie reply
#20	Anonymous Coward October 4, 2007 at 5:55pm How many Fadzaev videos did we watch back in the early '90's? reply
#19	B. Muir October 4, 2007 at 5:46pm The real deal! This vid brings back some great memories.. reply
#18	Junior Nardone October 4, 2007 at 1:15pm If you have not seen Ernie do his thing in the coach's corner, then you have never seen a brother in the coach's corner do his thing. Ern you are the man and will always be my sensei. I went ronin for a while there but it all starts and ends with you. You are to wrestling what the Kennedy's were to politics, without the assasinations and other weird stuff. One in a million, just dont forget what I said to you at the wake the other day. You still laugh at that. reply
#17	B. Seidel October 4, 2007 at 4:49am Great job Ernie! Thanks for all you did for me and a lots of other NJ and especially Shore area wrestlers over the years reply

#13	B Stoll October 3, 2007 at 4:03am Must have taken some serious coaxing to get Ern to talk in front of a camera. Great job! reply
#12	Zack Esposito October 2, 2007 at 5:52pm Great interview Ern. You are one of the greatest coaches a wrestler could have and I was (and am still) lucky to have you in my corner with tips and advice. Great video Martin. I'd love to see more. reply
#11	Rinaldi October 2, 2007 at 5:35pm Is that Harry A Moore? The term coach does not do ernie justice- he is a mentor/friend/family/motivator and coach all in one. One of the true icon's in the sport of wrestling. I, nor most of my generation would not be where we are today if it wasn't for ernie. reply
#10	Schmidty'sDad October 2, 2007 at 4:40pm Best coach I have ever seen, any sport, hands down. A NJ treasure, I can't tell you what a difference he makes in my sons life - in and out of wrestling. Get more of Ernie up here!! reply

#7	Michael P October 2, 2007 at 11:02am Easy E, great job. Hopefully the next generation of future olympic hopefuls, will have an edge background like Zack, Donnie and Mocco. reply
#6	Abbey Francesca October 2, 2007 at 10:59am Our club is one of a kind because of you.Your way w/the athletes (no matter who they are or their age)is unique.Many have tried to copy the Edge but, still fall short because the main ingredient is you. You have much to be proud of. reply

#1	Anonymous Coward October 2, 2007 at 5:46am this is exactly what our young wrestlers need the first step to making wrestling more popular is to at least have our participants kno what is going on with our world and olympic team if wreslers themselves dont even kno who our current greatest wrestlers our how can we excpect our sport to grow with new fans reply
