You can be anything

You can be a tough 125 pound kid from a small town in Illinois.



Or a tough 124 pound girl from New York City.



You can outwork your opponents.



Or you can out dazzle them.



You can be blind.



You can be missing a leg.



Or two.



You can come out of retirement after coaching your team to an NCAA title.



You can come from Mongolia to win 3 NCAA Division III championships for St Johns University in Minnesota.



Or come from Del City, Oklahoma to win 6 Olympic and World gold medals for your country.



You can walk off the mat and get elected to the Senate - or write best selling novels - or save millions from starvation - or fly in space - or lead Fortune 500 corporations. You can even be president of the United States.

Wrestling - the sport of opportunity.
