It would have been pretty bad. If I didn't have (wrestling), I'd be hopeless.

Pretty much all we do on the ride is talk wrestling. We'll call each other and check our weights when we aren't together.

My first impression of wrestling was that it's pretty brutal. But I really liked the fact that it's a one-on-one contest, and I decided to stick with it.

I don't know why he stopped wrestling. It all happened pretty quick, and the official gave the back points quick, but it was the right decision.

Irwin and Scherer pretty well dominated. Those two are wrestling about the best they can right now. Kiefer comes into the tournament 2-0, and coming off mono to finish second. That's phenomenal for him.

I didn't really think I'd be wrestling him (Lucero) in the finals. We are pretty good friends. I was worried he knew too many of my moves and what I would do.
