- What price are Ohio High School wrestlers willing to pay for a championship? Lance, driven by his over-bearing father, has repeated the 8th grade, worked out on Christmas Morning and wrestled with 600-pound bears. Matt, raised by a single mother, trains relentlessly while starving himself in hopes of a title.
"Pinned" is the eye-opening true story of two wrestlers willing to do anything to become champions.

wrestlers are a brotherhood. the pain, dedication no matter if you win or lose. it is the greatest sport. I wrestled back in the mid '90s in Oklahoma under an all American , state champion coach. once a wrestler always a wrestler.
Many people will never know the pain of wrestling...
46 years old and two back surgeries, yup
Not only the physical pain but the mental anguish you put yourself through. Having to push yourself through those times when your tired and haven’t eaten anything in days knowing you have a two hour practice to go to. All the demons in your head telling you to quit but you continue to push through it day in and day out.
@@johnstepanic1183 I used to wrestle from the mid-70s to the late 70s. We used to use plastic sweats which they don't let the wrestler to use anymore. Squeezing that last amount of sweat out of you was the toughest thing for me. You can always get used to being hungry but you never can get used to being extremely thirsty.At that young age you should be dreaming about girls and not what you're going to drink after your weigh-ins.
I have this saying... It goes " wrestling doesn't care. Wrestling will break your little heart." I've seen solid ass dudes train for four years plus, go into the finals of State as seniors, 41-0 on the season and get their shit rocked 11-0 by an 8th grader. And just because the kids were on two different levels. Seen kids that should've been state placers and All Americans go 0-2 in their post season tournament. Seen 3x champions get pinned in the state finals when they were winning 13-0 with a minute left. I don't even want to go into the topic of guys that should've been at state or nationals.... My point here is that wrestling will never bend the knee for you just because you've earned it. So NEVER bend the knee for anyone you shake hands with. You go out to win EVERY match or don't go out there. That's the only way.
@@bobklein1665 those rubber suits were banned when I wrestled in the 80's but we all still were issued them and wore them all the time. They are still banned today but are still used.
I wrestled in late 90s. I graduated in 96. We had no real idea about nutrition or smart ways to cut weight. But we had lots of heart. I to was someone who had more heart than physical ability. But man how I wouldn't take anything for those experiences. I also truly believe it made me tougher and able to handle tough situations in my adult life. Thanks wrestling and all the great coaches and wrestling partners at Castlewood high!!! Thanks for everything
Love how humble the Lakewood program is.
My family was poor when I was in HS. I am a natural wet towel on the mat but never had the opportunity because we couldn't afford it.
My son wrestled played FB and daughter swam. They had every opportunity we could give them. Loved HS sports. Let your kids be kids. If they naturally excel them pursue that with as much support as you can give.
Wrestling changed my life. It's the pain you experience with the brotherhood. Our coach was brutal and a great person, I never wanna go back and do another practice again. But it built the brotherhood
29 haters need to go play in traffic.. this is one of many best wrestling stories ever!! Js
"...play in traffic..." hah, that's a great insult! Never heard it before.
You ought to join them if that's how you try and handle people who disagree with you.
MAN I LOVE WRESTLING ITS THE BEST SPORT OUT HERE FOOTBALL DOESNT COME CLOSE BEING FROM VIRGINIA WE GO @ it !!
It's amazing to see the disparity between the two programs!
This movie reminded me so much about the ridiculous (and sometimes quite dangerous) perspective on weight cutting and competition in wrestling. I feel slightly embarrassed to admit it, but the wrestler Curly from Lakewood reminded me a lot of myself during my youth. I firmly believe i would have had a far more successful career if i was given a more wise approach to diet in wrestling. I attribute most of my gas tank running out in tournaments to lack of proper calories and nutrition. If i only knew then what i know now.
Fuzzy Bear Curly’s coaches Curiale and Duffy wanted him to eat more. He was obsessed with drinking water and apparently binge eating on the weekends. Then having to painfully cut weight during the week without proper nutrition. He had a successful college wrestling career and hopefully found a more balanced approach to nutrition and cutting weight if necessary in a better way. After re-reading your comment I think u realize he brought a lot of hardship on himself.
@@stephenross6312 I didnt know about that bud. Thanks so much for sharing. Glad to hear he learned from those mistakes and progressed.
My oldest son never cut weight and at states saw kids who were the best but cut to hard watched my son dismantle them in later rounds. Sad
Great documentary my uncle wrestled in the 90s and he would talked about stories about how he would sleep in a trash bags and pray that he made weight . Thank god for hydration testing .
Hydration tests still aren’t used widely at the state level. Went to state last year cut from 55 through the season to 38. Almost killed myself had to give up wrestling
That was such a good movie. Even more so since im from ohio and knew a few of these guys from back in my wrestling day. wow man what a rollercoaster.
This is an excellent documentary.
Former head coach gives perfect reason why they haven't had a champ in so long; cuz he's waiting for that special kid to come along.
I’m confused, is it because they aren’t trying to make their kids good and they are just betting on luck?
BadBoyGangUncencsored BBG exactly
@@ehall3915 I’m literally right there with you bro. For a second I thought I was the slow one since I didn’t get what he meant. But dudes comment literally makes as much sense as how man dimes there are in a penny
id guess 90% of state champs in ohio were dominant wrestlers ever since they were 8 years old. Most elite wrestlers in high school live and breathe wrestling, and have for their entire lives. Even if you take a hardworking kid and coach him as best as possible, winning a state title is no easy feat. He doesnt mean that they dont try their best to coach the, he means that not everyone is talented enough to become a state champion, but you'll know once you see it.
You get some natural born, but coached many to the state tournament placing top 4. just have to have a kid willing to work. building confidence is huge these days kidsquit after 3 weeks. ( I'm no good)
"Make sure he doesn't get ahold of your McNuggets." 🤣😂🤣
- Best Advice
i graduated highschool in 21, did wrestling all 4 years. absolutely loves every second of it. i just never had the time to put into it sadly. i miss cutting weight and i miss throwing up in trash bins after a hard workout. really felt like i was a part of something bigger than myself
Great documentary! Well done!
I have completed with some of Ohio best, beaten them, beaten state Champs from different states, went toe to toe with Lance a few times prior to high school... and never made the Ohio State tournament. (Graduated 2004)
I'm 35 this year and *stil* not over it. Lol
Great Documentary
It's the age old question: how do you motivate kids who have no life experience and don't know what they want to do for a career? I was one of those kids who didn't have enough encouragement and needed my parents to give me some direction at that crucial time. I played club soccer all growing up, was MVP 3 years in a row and then hurt my knee in high school senior year. After my surgery I didn't have club soccer and I just kind of drifted and never got back into it. It wasn't long until I was 23 kicking myself in the ass because I had really found the drive I was missing, but I had missed my window. If I had someone looking after me and helping out just a little bit, it most likely would've been enough to get me through those years 18-22 when younger people still don't have things figured out. Kids need guidance. If you go that route of letting them figure it out for themselves the chances are they won't figure it out in time.
Never too late bro. Never give up on your own future
Same story here. I didn't really get a huge athletic drive till 22-26 and by then is was too late. I did travel around the country doing competitive judo but just didn't start early enough and didn't have enough adult push (my parents were hippies).
@@azteacher26 don't let your age be am excuse for you to settle. My mom always used to tell me in her broken English (native Korean) , "never say too late." As a teen I used to moan and gripe about not having learned a skill, took on a new hobby, or played a sport as a young child. I am now in my late 20s and lament the fact that had I started something in my teens when I was moping, I would have more than 10 years experience in whichever endeavor I chose. Even now if you decide to go learn to play the piano or get into boxing, by the time you hit your 40s or 50s, you will have 20 plus years of experience in it. Never say it's too late to learn or try something new. Go for it
@@danielpark411 Thanks Daniel. Good advice.
I placed 3rd in state 2004 "Colorado" I was not mentally prepared either now I'm 33 and just barely officially getting over the fact that I could have done better in counseling they called it the what ifs... I'm stronger now though in a crucial money making time in my life and taking care of my family I created a son who likes hockey now I know how to properly train him.
that’s so cool to hear i’m a freshman from nj on varsity since the 195 tore his acl and he is one of your three state qualifiers and so far i’m 7-0 next year he bumping up to 220 so i can be 95
This was very cool! Better than Hollywood!
I knew right from the beginning of the video. That matt was never gonna win. He just talked alot and never actually tried. He did not cut weight right at all. He also gave up way to much in matches. You cant give up even if there beating you. My 1st state i was loosing 10 to 2 with 30 secs in 3rd period. I ended up catching the kid riding to high. I reached up grabbed his head and rolled him and stuck him in half.
is lance the same lance that just had a million dollar pay day in mma? if so than his did raised a kid that became a millionaire. not be if you ask me.
He's doing really well in MMA👊
Colin Palmer was a stud too. The Palmers are a wrestling family
Not be if we ask you?
He won back to back million dollar checks
He was also a 4x AA at Ohio State, and placed (8th) in the consensus toughest NCAA bracket of all-time (2008 149lbs., which included Metcalf, Bubba Jenkins, Burroughs, Josh Churella, Darrion Caldwell, J.P. O'Connor & Dustin Schlatter.
I'm pretty sure Palmer was the only placer not to win a title, but he was a finalist two years later.
Man if the kid only knew about nutrition and how to properly cut weight....
Jesse Rice this was more common back then. It messed up your had baddddd. Now a days weight cutting in hs for the most part is a lot better.
I was literally going to say the same thing, that is not how to cut weight...
Fraser Trotter its not just about cutting weight. its about suffering.
Headaches, exhaustion, inability to concentrate on school...yeah it matters. Wish I knew too, instead of just not eating the night before.
@@tmt1675 I know, I was a kid wrestling 171 cutting from 189 in the school furnace room with a rubber suit on under full sweats... not eating or drinking water
My boy is 7, where do I get a bear for him to start wrestling now?
Check local clubs. My kids are 8 and 11 and wrestle in a local wrestling club through MyWay
@@Michiganpredatorcontrol This one went over your head :D He is talking about Khabib.
Ask Khabibs dad.
@@DMWBN3 khabib dont got no daddy
t ddrytv h we did 4 months ago silly.
Colin is a badass wrestling coach now and lance is a pfl champ
Where is Collin coaching at?
taltezy29 Palmer wrestling club in central Ohio
36:40 "I don't want any of my kids to wrestle" - that's pretty telling right there something ain't right.
You know I was thinking the same thing but knowing it future he had a at Ohio State and a millionaire fighter in MMA was probably pissed at his dad you could tell he loves to wrestle
eveanddell upstate New York! They still do it at fairs and stuff. My pops was fresh off a national title and wrestled a 600 pound one with a muzzle snapped him into a front head lock and squeezed the bear made a weird noise and the trainer hit my dad with the whip and got mad lmao.
Its one thing to cry after the match but to cry the entire match?? Matt could do a lot better with some mental game...
Yeah I was thinking the same exact thing, painful to watch...
"The thrill of victory... and the agony of defeat."
Having met Lance, hearing him say he doesn't want his kids to wrestle made me sad. Collin is one of the great coaches in Ohio, now. I met them before I knew this existed, and it is a little hard to see that aspect of their childhood.
The kids seemed more balanced in this doc than the adults . almost all the adults -coaches , parents acted like jerks for the most part .
Pretty common and not inaccurate when it comes to wrestling, although most coaches are smarter now
Collin is now my wrestling coach
Mannnn....f those kids that were held back for being “too small” I weight 73lbs my freshman year and 88lbs my sophomore year and wrestled varsity both years.
No you didn't...
Agree with u, the parents are insane, they cant see it which is even more insane. “The parents havent accomplished anything in their life in sports and they live bi-curiously through their kids”. BULLSEYE!! Great quote
@@abg125 Why not? My brother was 85lbs his freshman year and 95 his sophomore year? Wrestled 101 again his junior year.
I had guys do that for football. It is basically cheating imho. I'm only saying this to add to convo, I don't mean that I would've took state (uncle rico) lol or went d1I was only 16 my sr year until November. Starting as a 14 yo soph was a major accomplishment. By time it came for college recruiting, I didnt have the physicality of the big time d1 and d2 guys. I thought about going to prep school but was 1 and done in college ball. I dont regret any of it. More to life than sports but as a kid that was life and when parents encourage you (out of love and wanting you to succeed .in my case) you dont know any better
yeah, you can wrestle varsity...at 80lbs...as a freshman.......if you live in Alabama.
I've been there too buddy. Won all those tournaments, earned my seed then blew it in the end because I was afraid to win when it counted.
My thing is I believe honestly if they have a good coach he can turn kids to become champions you don’t have to have a kid necessarily come in that’s so good and he’s just a star that makes it happen if the coach was a technical good coach and a champion he would have technical wrestlers that are champions it would take like three years and you would have state champions. Guaranteed!
No.....
Jacob Racisz I’ll bet you
The comparison of a well-funded program where they're getting a lot of help and a lot of recourses compare to your average high school where most of the funds go to football /basketball with no wrestling background. The difference is the kids on one side have a lot of guidance and are only focusing on wrestling and keeping the grades up and on the other side, you have kids managing a broken home, a job, their grades so on so forth.
The sight I adore on a basketball floor, is wrestling mats from door to door.
saw the same thing in Judo. holding back their next belt so they dominate at a lower level
Blair (NJ) owns St. Ed's (Ohio)
Dan Armando NJ wrestling soooo underrated!!
I come from a PROUD NJISAA wrestling background. I wrestled 4 years for Maple Shade Highschool and then chose to play hockey in college in Minnesota. New Jersey had, has and will have for a long time to come, some of the absolute best talent in the art. We arent afraid to go to work on ANYONE out on that mat.
Love Jersey!!!!!!
Thank you for the comment.
Wow a school with kids from across the country compared to a public school..... I live in Michigan but it’s known d11 pa is best in the country and no has two schools that recruit nation wide and that’s 70 percent of the states talent
Matt could’ve been a state champ if he wrestled at Ed’s and not lake wood
Great movie I come from a family of wrestling my uncle got runner up at ncaas and Fargo then he won Fargo and then won state
Danny Gonsor, the former 130 pounder, and former St Edwards assistant wrestling coach was just arrested on sex assault charges
Ryan Bertin was a monster at St Ed’s I remember watching him win beast in hs then go on to have a phenomenal college career.
Hats of too wayne the pain!! Without him none of this would be possible!! Yeah carl!!!
My son wrestles and no way any kid should disrespect a parent. I wouldn’t let him cut that much weight either. While I respect their talent in my opinion kids should have balanced lifestyle. This winning at any cost for most wrestlers is a price too high in the long run, I wrestled loved it parents never went to my meets. I didn’t care it was because I wanted.
Blair is the best. looks good. sad that one Blair guy in this movie passed away
Coach Heffernan looks like he could be Gables son.
Matt doesn’t know how to lose weight.
A CLASSIC WRESTLING FILM. Always wonder what Colin, Lance, and Matt think off when they think back to filming this lol. Like "I can't believe I said that..". I think Colin is my favorite to watch wrestle in this film. He's a power wrestler like Lance but just so quick and smooth with it like a REAL early 2000's 112 pounder haha.
Does anyone know the Song that plays when they show the state tournament??
52:51 Ric Flair cameo, his son Reid wrestled at Blair Academy
No shame to lose Lance Palmer. Lance Palmer is a deserving champion. He earned ti!
Good documentary
Opening music??
Those poor tigers and other "animals"
He doesn’t want his own kids to wrestle, yup nuff said
That shit is crazy to me. Really says a lot abt the stress his own dad has placed on him to the point where he’s like fuck this I don’t wanna be in that position
While it was a pretty good film, a lot of things really bothered me. First off, the way that Matt cut weight was terrible. A kid that I wrestled with did it the same way, won the sectional and was so burnt out from the years of losing so much weight, he didn’t bother wrestling at states. You need to fuel your body and work your butt off. That’s one thing Mr. Palmer and I agree with, probably the only thing. I’m all about helping my kids succeed but only if they are willing and not to the extreme of Mr. Palmer. The thing I was truly disgusted with was holding your sons back for competitive advantage. Beyond disgusting. And wrestling a bear... I have no words.
And they said Khabibs dad was crazy...Khabib wrestled bears as a 10 year old in Dagestan, and he's best grappler in MMA, solid plan lol 😂
@@ajgambs44 In the 80's and 90's that's the way most kids cut weight. You know the old saying, "If I knew then what I know now".
@@jerseydevil1066 oh yea I know, if only. Wrestlers are a different breed. Insane all of you dudes....I played football from 6 yo thru college and as a 10 yo kid back in early 90a we cut weight by eating less than 800 cal and training 2x day. Lost 12 lbs to get to 88 in a month. And that wasnt nearly as bad as wrestlers bc we didnt suck water weight, just were down to ribs and spine sticking out.
And as an adult w brain injuries from all the years of head trauma, I can tell you 100% I believe being sucked out and way lighter than should've been as a pre teen and teen didmt help protect my brain at all and added to it.
AJ Gamble why are you cutting weight for football?
Did anyone else see ric flair in the stands at the Blair academy match? Lol
That dude has no space to be "losing weight". This is one thing that ticks me off about wrestling that should change.
I ended up losing a tournament because of getting the Flu trying to make weight back in the 80's. Won the first match, but I had nothing left to win the other two. Of course, likely wouldn't have happened today given what I know about nutrition, just go Keto and Intermittent fast, and you can eat the same amount of Calories but you're eating much fewer carbs so your body burns your fat stores instead of the carbs you're eating. Still. When you especially have no fat stores like this kid, that's really bad for a person's body and is a form of child abuse.
Watching that last match (before the finals) was just terrible... Seeing his pain, not so much the match itself, it's simply that he took so much out of himself that he had nothing left to give the match. You can see his opponent was entirely "healthy". While he simply had "tortured" himself to try and get there.
I’m sure his opponents were also cutting weight.
I never cut weight. Certified at my natural weight and if I had to would wrestle up a class.
So sick of Outsiders glorifying negative aspects of weight cutting.
Daytona Says What?! Go to 24:04 !!! I guarantee you they’re are no outsiders here!! About the negative aspects of cutting weight!!!
@@TheSFCjaymo This documentary maker and all the producers and Hollywood clowns funding and putting this together are outsiders.
Daytona Says What?! Look, I’m a wrestler and I cut weight, but I know from an INSIDE perspective there really isn’t a positive to it, but people do it, it really isn’t that great of a thing...
1:17:40 What you're seeing is an illegal slam. Matt Curley clearly said he could continue and then did continue. When asked if Matt Curley could continue, had Matt said, "No" then he would have won the match and been allowed to continue. Matt refused to win that way. He'd rather take a loss and maintain his integrity because of that whole....the wrestler was illegally slammed on a technicality but said he wasn't ok to continue but then continues in the next match...argurment. This was 18 years ago so I don't know how much has changed. Also, I could be wrong. I promise you that was an illegal slam and if that's not the official scenario then Matt was never asked if he could continue or not. Had it been me- I would've argued that was an illegal slam and if I didn't get my way then I would've punched the ref and started a riot. That's the way I was back then and that's the way I am now. I've never been to a state wrestling tourney.
Do any wrestlers with top level skill maintain or gain weight for matches? I understand they will be at a natural strength disadvantage but in boxing, the worst thing for a fighter is to cut weight. Those who do are always at a disadvantage vs the fighter at their natural weight or vs. an opponent moving up. Does any of that apply to wrestling?
Great
Was he able to financially recover?
This is old. Lance palmer is just a baby here.
He’d pin u
55:55 what is this song?! I type in rise metal song and it can’t be found anywhere?!?!
At No End - Rise
These kids should get on a ju jujitsu Matt ASAP. There will be several world champions here
St Ed’s is a prep school they recruit. Same as Blair, belbarton and what’s it called, the real power house teams are pburg Easton north Hampton Nazareth del Val saucing valley
Champions are made in practice.
Pain is beautiful,..rest is immoral
I won't harp anymore on what others have said about Curley BUT Curley does represent some of the "old world" philosophy when it comes to the lower weight classes. Cut, cut and cut some more. Matt had absolutely no strength at all. No muscle period. Curley would have been better off going 145. Had he hit the weight room like you're suppose to he'd been ok. Idk if he'd have won a state title or placed but he'd would've been a lot happier and probably more productive on the mat. I don't know what Lakewood's practices were like but no way he should have to be cutting like that in season. A good solid practice WITHOUT sweats and you lose 3 lbs. Replace that after practice and float a half lb. off sleeping and you're good.
39:48 took a page from khabib’s book
Is this based off of the book?
Private schools should only get to wrestle against each other.
That wouldn't be fair to the public school kids who want to go up against the best.
Are you f'n serious?
That would be a little to unfair for the kids as a whole. You NEED to learn that you make advantage out of ANY disadvantage to win.
Just because they have been blessed with rich parents disent mean that they need to be pushed aside.
I wrestled for a small, blue collar town high school 30+ years ago.....my best friend wrestled for Holy Cross....biggest, richest private school in south Jersey at the time. I, and my entire team, loved dual meets with the Cross because win or lose we made it count.
Thinking like yours would be a frist step in ruining the oldest competitive sport in the history of our Civilization.
Grow up a little.
Peace man.
Not all private schools are good at wrestling.
@@iamalpharius9483 I have great respect for small/midsized towns that have only one high school and great wrestling tradition. They play the cards they were dealt, not cherry pick off other teams. Just my opinion.
@@ningxiawolfberry I think you mean not all private schools are good at recruiting.
Whats the metal song in the opening scene?
I wonder if the kids are taught who St Edward the Confessor was.
When he said wrestling is just something I do it’s an obligation yikes that sounds like someone whose tired of the sport and the grind and the weight cutting
Is it true that a half nielson is dangerous i have used that trick many times but we were not as strong and bulky, can somebody confirm or deny whether it is dangerous?
It’s not considered a potentially dangerous move and is legal. The ref can stop it if he believes there is a potential for serious injury. The move you saw was not just a half Nelson though. It was a power half which is done while riding legs and basically can dislocate a shoulder very easily is done right.
@@acccs659 i see how it could happen, and i remember when i got older, i used to perform this trick differently where you use your chest to hold him down and then walk in a semi circle around his head, until he turns, where you then hold on to his head. I guess for a professional it's not a good idea because a professional can counter that
I understand that Curley was trying to avoid Lance @140 but who was he dodging at 135 that year?
adam glover David Taylor
Zeke Hernandez Taylor was 135 in 09 not 06
Oh u right
I believe David Tyler was D2 also. If I remember correctly he wrestled for Paris St. Gram
I bet Lakewood has alot of kids stolen from them. To bad that powerhouse cant win without stealing kids then I would be impressed.
Does anyone know the song that starts at 1:18:16??!?! I can't find it anywhere
That boy did not get caught in a Granby role .That was a shoulder role. The Granby includes controlling the wrist as you role thru. I hear announcers call it a Granby roll.Contact coach Steve Martin ,Old Dominion Univ. whose father Billy Martin (Granby High) invented the Granby roll ln the 50's .Coach Martin's teams won 24 state championships and is considered the best high school coach of all time. Please contact coach Martin and learn the correct move.
Whooo Ric Flair in the crowd at 52:50
The movie is interesting even if my english is not good enough to understand everything.
The music wasted this doc far too loud.
Did the brothers make state or Olympics
3 boys without a legit father. The words from Curley's mother and from the Palmer's father made me want to slap all of them. Sad.
People make a battle of anything imaginable...... 🤣
gram highschool is the best in ohio and ohio alone is the best wrestling state but gram is the best
Man this team CANT COMPETE WITH JERSEY, P-Berg, Blair, Camden Catholic would Woop St. Eden’s!!
I just commented the same thing. They recruit and would still get beat beat pburg Easton north Hampton and most LV teams
Idc how hurt you are or how angry you think you deserve to be. For him to not show up for the medal ceremony cause he got 2nd. That’s the most childish and disrespectful thing you could do to your other competitors.
Was surprised to see the wrestling high school students with tattoos
k9 aid it’s actually pretty common
@@brittanylerner4508 Understand but when I heard some of the wrestler are being held back maybe they are old enough to get tattooed with out parental permission
As a high school wrestling official I say the same thing every time. I can't believe how tatted up some of these kids are.
k9 aid I was never held back and wrestled at 18 I could’ve gotten tattoos if I wanted
Did Lance Palmer lose via submission of pin?
moondragon130 the fuck “submission”? This isn’t the fucking ufc boy
He sure did Moondragon130. And Lol over National Security Agency’s head clearly. Yes, he sure did. I noticed that too(& yes National Security Agency this isn’t MMA). But rewatch the beginning; he tapped out like he was being choked when Matt Dunn pinned him @ The Walsh Ironman Invitational. He legit tapped his back like a tapout after getting stuck! And this is coming from a Wrestler...‘boy’! 😂
Spencer lee could be on here
Pretty sad when Lance says he doesn't want his kids to wrestle.... that is another way of saying my Dad ruined the sport for me. I wrestled 12 years, never did I not want my kids to wrestle, I love the sport. I totally agree with the Ohio State coach, taking your kids to national tournaments at 7-8 years old is nuts. I mean it is one thing if they are in your backyard but to drive them across the country so they can be 8 year old national champ is just plain dumb. No one gives a shit that your kid won nationals when they where 9, that doesn't mean shit when they get to HS or college.... if they even make it to college as a wrestler. I have been around this sport for 35 years and seen tons of kids burn out or just plain fall apart when they get to the next level because other kids caught up to their talent. No offense to the Palmer family but all those national titles as kids equaled zero national champs in college, point being that all kids will catch up to each other when they are men so let your kids be kids until it matters, run them around as a high school kid, especially their last 2 years, anything before the age 13 is a waste of your kids time and it is just the parents trying to make their kid something they could never be.
Brent D I second this, I truly believe once hs pre season starts it’s time to get serious.
Curley’s wrestling looks really amateur but he talks as if he’s a stud, weird
Anis C he is a nerd. I’d pin him in under 30 seconds
Bring your A game. Curley was a three-time NCAA Division III national tournament qualifier.
aChristian4RonPaul I am an mma fighter, former IHSA 3 time state qualifier, many of my teammates are D1 and D2 all Americans, I’m not worried. I beat my teammates who’d beat him easily.
he is a stud just wrong nutrition and mental game leads to his downfall he could easily be a state champ if he was wise about these types of things
@@michaelfaulkner1498 nobodys impressed

WRESTLERS WRESTLING A BEAR HMM...VERY GOOD FOR THE BACK? GOIN FOR HIS 4TH TITLE?? STILL GREAT DOCUMENTARY
"Lakewood wrestling is still waiting for its next state champion" LMFAO
Is anyone else creeped the hell out by matts mom? "Its like hes my husband, you know, cause we fight." No its like a mother and teenage boy. I feel like shes enjoying being filmed wayyy more than he is as well, and enjoys his success in wrestling more than he does too. He said in the beginning that he just wrestles cause he feels obligated and doesnt care about it. I feel like hes only doing it because his mother is forcing him. Either way, shes very off putting.
