Ok...I wrestled 189 and never really had to cut more than 5 or 6 pounds at a shot. But I had friends that cut 15-20 each week so I know what you guys are talking about. But still...The thunder of the crowd when a sudden unexpected throw takes your opponent to his back, the chants and jeers when a dual comes down to the heavyweights, wrestling under the spotlights in the finals of a big tournament. Is this not better than eating??? I would fast for a week if I thought I could go back and enjoy that again!!!
