Who is to say that the record is meaningless. If records are meaningless, then stop keeping them. I have seen Chenowith several times, the takedown record is within his grasp. He has the talent and ability, as long as we are going to have records then why not go for it. It may be meaningless to you, but we all have our goals, and they are not the same for everyone. If I had these kid's talent, then I guarantee I would try for the record. Go to most any high school and you will see people from 20 years ago with some kind of record on the wall. They can bring their kids and share those old moments with them, as a parent it demonstrates that we have already walked the road we are trying to lead our kids on, we do understand that victory takes sacrifice.

Myself, I wish my son had 1/2 of the talent of any of the wrestlers mentioned here. God gave him the desire, unfortunately his body cannot hold up its end.
