it gave me cold chills the whole way through

fujghk

This video is great... shows what wrestling is all about

I watch this video almost every time I see it on the activity board. I love it Jason.

Fix you- Coldplay

Great video but wat is the title of the song

wow this is awesome, like a movie

Greatest video ive ever seen

Some of the great moments in college wrestling. Very inspiring and emotional. Thanks Jason for a job well done.

Greatest Tribute really emotional it motivates me every time i step foot on the map

Just noticed the Jordan Lee clip with him bleeding is in reverse. The blood flows up his face...

Dang man, dang !

This Video is Outstanding..it shows the side of us most people dont understand the feeling we get when we get our hands raised..or when we loose Great video bro

this video is awesome

fix you by coldplay

what da song called ?

That is Destin McCauley from Apple Valley Minnesota at 0:22

Great!

whos at :22?

so, so awesome

That's Joe Johnston from Iowa at 2:15. That match was during his freshman year when he beat defending NCAA champ Luke Becker from Minnesota in a dual meet.

love the vid, a sport that is not to famous or glamorous but is the best in my opinion, at building charachter, self discipline and the will to never give up!

Who is at 2:15? And who is that celebrating at the end with the crazy back arch?

Wow!! Unbelievable video. Nice Work!!!

Love this! Good work.

please!!!!!

Excellent! Thanks for the vid.

amazing thank you so much, this is why i wrestle, i love this sport

Outstanding. Thank you for sharing.

Extremely well done! Thank you for all your time putting this together!

give dustin carter a beer

Just Watched this for the fifth time. Superior Work Jason. Wrestling is the greatest.

jason we want more

That is awesomely beautiful!!

Hands down the best tribute vid I've come across! Shared it all over facebook, wish that the world was as passionate about this great sport as I and the people on this site. Keep the good vids comin'!!!

Great video! What time that must've taken. Please know your time has been appreciated. It is such a tribute to the featured wrestlers and those who love the sport!

how could i get a copy of this video??

Fix you by Coldplay

anyone know what song this is?

Awsome!

Wow, Jason, nice video but one question....why my uncle Kenny Monday isn't in this...lol, but still nice though. I wish i could save this and put it on my ipod or something, who needs movies....nice video man.

thats what the sport is all about... very nice!!! being a state champ and ex college wrestler makes you go back!! awesome some really warriors on that video! best to luck with your son and his battle with cancer.. if he is a wrestler you know you have a fighter wish you and your family the best

Excellent video, with great production values and does a great job of showing what wrestling is about. And I like the music too! BTW: not to be a wet blanket here, but since Coldplay's music IS copyrighted, I'm no lawyer but personally speaking I would make sure that the video is not used in association with any profit-oriented endeavor, because as paranoid and sue-happy as the major labels are these days, if Capitol/EMI were to find out that was happening.......

I ll deffinately remember to show people this the next time someone tries to tell me wrestling is for fags when they re clearly blinded from the success and emotion this great sport brings

been away for a wile from flo. Thanks for the mail. Really nice. one of my wrestlers just came down with lymphoma cancer. he's a fighter I will show him this vid , He will dig it.

does anyone know the what match the clip is from with leen all bloodied up?

Excellent video! Real creative and excellant choice of music. I have been around wrestling as a coach and competitor for 30 plus years. It was inspiring. Nice going

Inspiring!!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome should have more tributes on wrestling, keep up the great work on the greatest sport in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Pin To Win"

hahahah i just realized im in the video during the leen scramble

Out of this world!!!

wow thast real heart touching! ppl dnt see this in wrestling and im glad u show the emotion and success it can bring...

in the tribute "to those who lost there..." there should be spelled their

great compilation of footage
excellent examples of defensive/offensive wrestling

That was a GREAT video....felt lots of emotion i had back when i wrestled..

You have captured the emotion brilliantly.
Thank you.

whos the kid at 2:15-2:20 ?

Best Vid on Flo!!!

great vid but wat does the tragedy of 9/11 have to do with anything about this video?

I think the "sure" was meant for me Jason, but I'm the coach who asked if you could send me a dvd copy of your artwork so I could use it as a recruiting tool for my high school program.

If you want to checkout who you are sending to, please feel free to scan:
aptoshs.net/wrestling
I'd be willing to send you a very cool looking t-shirt in return or would be willing to give you a few bucks for your trouble.
Either way is fine with me partner.
My address:
Head Coach Reggie Roberts
Aptos H.S. Wrestling
100 Mariner Way
Aptos, CA 95003
Thanks Jason! Keep up the good work pal.

Awesome video! Thanks Jason! Good job!

Thanks so much!

sure!

would it be alright if i posted this video on facebook as long as i give you the credit? i want my friends and people i know to get an understanding of why i myself, and others, wrestle

Outstanding job Jason! Some really great stuff and well put together. I especially like that you showed love for some of the greats (Smith, Gable, Koll, Mills, and Cael) during the instrumental break. Now go lift!

Jason, The video is very moving and inspirational. I believe I remember that one of the passengers on the plane that crashed on 9/11 in Pennsylvania was a wrestler and was involved in trying to stop the terrorists. Does anyone know if this is correct?

Thanks for doing this video! Sweet!! And very inspirational. Gonna share it w/ our club site!

I used vegas movie maker.

I just got chills.
Well done

We want more! Brilliant

what program did you use to make this highlight?

Looks great, Jason! West side, right there.

Ohioans, look for Mr. Russell to have a very solid year this season. He has been putting the time in and he clearly knows what makes the sport great.

Awesome video... Great job and hreat song to go with what our sport is all about...

and the scramble at 4:38 wow thats what wrestling is about

hottest at 1:37 and 1:47

the song is fix you by cold play

you better not take this video down EVERYONE loves it. i have never witnessed a more inspirational video in my life. we want more!

and btw the video wasnt copyrighted so you did nothing wrong

i like the caldwell shot....amazing video man!

the very first clip i thought was the most emotional the clip of abas putting down his shoes

this is awesomee

Once more wrestling fans can be the biggest critics, please o' please don't listen to them. Kudos Jason Russel, this is a great video and I wish I could see more like them. This is exactly the type of thing our wrestling community needs.

im sorry. flowrestling if you guys have any problems with me using some of your guys clips, or anyone else... let me know and ill take the video down.

Him making money off of it is not the point. The point is that someone went through the trouble of shooting the footage, and he decided to take it on his own without asking and re-use it.

Who cares if he stole video or just put some stuff together. Great vid. I didn't expect that he went and collected it all. How much did he make from it? $0?
Keep up the good work.

this video was beautiful...... Great Job!!!!!!!!

its not that big of a deal.... its not like the guy is making money off of the clip he put some stuff together get off of his nuts

Yes he did steal footage. There are multiple clips in this video that he took from someone else without bothering to ask.

bad ass video. please make another one.

some great moments in there.....

Great video!!

Wrestling: We make each other, we break each other. On the Mat it is War, Off the Mat, it is a Brotherhood. How many times have you seen somebody walking down the street or into a restaurant and you knew they were a wrestler? If it is in your blood than a video like this make the hair on your neck stand up and brings a flood of everything it took to became what you are.

we want more

So inspirational. Anyone know the song name?

One of the best ever

Love the HL footage keep it coming

He didn't copy anyone and he didn't steal anyone's footage.

Looks like you copied Schrupp. I see you stole some of his footage too.

Great stuff Jason, very entertaining.

wow thanks a million "screwy louie"

nice video. only feedback i hve is.... sequel please

very nice video, you should do some more

I think it's this bout.

No. 4 Iowa, No. 2 Minnesota 18
Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Iowa City, Iowa
157: #8 Joe Johnston (Iowa) fall #2 Luke Becker (Minn), 3:50

ive watched this over and over again. it pumps me up so much

Cool John.

whos the guy at 2:16

Awesome video. Loved it.

4:02 good scramble

Good Stuff....at 4:09, on of the best double over throws i've ever seen.

Great movie

That video was epic.

Who was that at 4:33?

bottom line...grat all-around job.

Wrestling is the toughest, most rewarding, most awe-inspiring sport there is. Those who have ever wrestled or coached wrestling know this. Once you've wrestled, everthing else in life is easier...

This was fantastic, great job. Go Mike Poeta!!

thanks alot guys. I just wish i could fix that typo :o. ill try and get some more stuff out as soon as I can.

be proud of this vid jason, its great
it makes me love wrestling more than i already do

yeah this is cool, i think it reminds me personally that i am american, that no terrorist nobody is ever going to stop me or us as a country, i think that as a country we can look at that day and use it to remind ourselves why we go out on that mat why we compete to show the world that we wont give up.

amazing, simply amazng

that was awesome

Truly amazing!

Guys a flow do a great job. What a awesome video!!

I have never posted on any site before. This video and caveman’s extremely thoughtful post have inspired me. God bless America and God bless this sport.

i think thats the mizzou heavyweight

We want more Jason. That was amazing

who is the guy at 2:16???

I am glad I could contribute to this video!

FLO....this video is freakin' awesome...keep up the good work!!! GO OHIO WRESTLING!!!!

that was the best highlight video ive ever seen. great great great...minus the spelling error in the beginning

Amazing Video great job guys...

You used the wrong "there." It is supposed to be "their" not "there" at the beginning. Might want to change that.

wow awsome video

Awesome video. Thanks Jason.

I thought the music was sweet... it really builds up towards the end. The interview transition was cool too.

That video was great...the greatest sport on earth!

tht was beautiful :'(

I agree with Tevin... good video, but the music doesn't work for me. Try using some music that gets the heart pounding.

that brought tears to my eyes

thanks for the nice comments guys. I enjoy a little politcal talk but lets try and not get too harsh here.

good video, the song is so depressing though

Awesome man...very cool.

great video
A thought on 9/11
I saw the news flash on a sports board just after morning announcements.
At first I thought it was a Picture someone farked then I thought it must be a mechanical error.
Then I saw the second plane crash into the other tower.
I am old enough to remember the first moon walk, the last soliders leaving Vietnam, The Bcentennial celebration, even the killings at Kent State.
There was a very clear attitude that began to take over the school as the day went on. We would not react or cancel out of fear. the greatest tribute we could give those fallen that day was to go on living and being Americans. We played a 9th grade football game that afternoon. When the game was over both teams met at mid field and had a moment of silence afterwhich a spontaneous singing of the starspangled banner began. It was with out a doubt the most moving moments I have ever been involved in.
It is important that as we remember the events of the past we continue to live our lives thankfully and freely comitted to the things we give our hearts too. In this case the love of wrestling.

that was pretty sick

i think its by Coldplay "Fix You"

very coool

outstandin video

spelling on the first slide is wrong, there their

the palmer schlatter pin was shown in a buckeye wrestling show.

It still amazes me how much anti American is pumped into kids heads on our college campuses. Just think that kind of so called “critical thinking” cost somebody’s parents about 30K a year. Unbelievable!!!

WHOA WHERE DID YOU GET THE PALMER SCHLATTER PIN?? I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT MATCH I DIDN'T THINK THEY TAPED IT.

great job man

great video man

Showin' it to the kids, fresh and soph on the team I coach.

eh nobodies perfect :P I had my dad watch it, he didnt notice haha.

Cool video and dedication to those who lost their lives in 9/11. After spending this much time, I feel bad to recommend having someone review your title before posting the video. ("their lives", not "there lives")
-josh

awesome video! whats the name of the song?

Cool video thanks for posting it.

Man, I could watch that all day. Great choice of song!

Sure. Send me a msg.

I'd love to see if I could get a copy of this to use as a recruiting tool for my high school program. Any possibilities Jason?

Got me pumped up!!

I've always thought about doing videos like this, but I just never sat down and got all the clips. Nice work. Not the biggest fan of the rays of light, but not a big deal. Again, nice job. :)
