I still think one of the best things in wrestling is the life-long friendships formed between the competitors. My 6 year old wrestled the same kid 2 weeks in a row-won one, lost one, a big difference in how each kid wrestled. When they are both at their best, it will be a heck of a battle!
But, about 10 minutes after the match was over, i go into the stands to talk to momma and take a break. The two boys were sitting in one seat, sharing the controls on one of those infernal video game things, laughing and having a good time.
2 hours later when leaving, the other kid runs up to mine, gives him a big hug, and says see you next week!
How can they do that with the way some of the parents act-I agree, it is a shame.
