Who here was the worst wrestler?

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Tell us a story about how bad you were.  Requirements - you must have wrestled for at least 1 full season in middle school or high school.

I don't meet the requirements as I only wrestled 1st through 5th grade, but I have two stories.

I was not a good wrestler. Went to a few tournaments every season and in my 'career' received one first place trophy which happened in 3rd grade. It was our hometown tournament and I somehow missed the weigh-in because I think I was pooping or something and when I weighed in late at 55 lbs they bumped me up into the 60 lb class to fill a bracket. Of course now I'm scared and nervous having to wrestle bigger kids but I go on to go 2-0 and get my only first place trophy.

Here is a bad karma story. The next year I'm in 4th grade. In one of our practices we play 'King of the Mat' where we all pair off (must have been 40 kids or so) and if you score a takedown you stay in and your opponent is out and the winner finds someone else who is in and wrestle until one person is left. My first opponent was a strong farm kid. I come up with this scheme to stall in this first match and I tell the kid 'hey, let's just goof around for a minute or two while the others are knocking each other out'. We stall for a minute with no action and finally one of the coaches comes over and tells us to get going so I somehow take this farm kid down which shocked me. When I get up and turn around I lock eyes with a kid a year older than me who probably had 30 lbs on me and I immediately waive my hand no to him and turn around to find someone else. Unfortunately I end up with an even bigger kid and we tie up and I try throw him by as he pushes into me and he stumbles a bit and while falling I go behind him real quick for the takedown. I somehow took down two kids who should have rag-dolled me. After I took him down, I stand up and turn around and there is only one kid left.......my cousin, two years older than me in 6th grade who was insanely strong and he ended up wrestling through high school on varsity. Anyways, we tie up and in about 2 seconds he headlocks me and when my shoulder hits the mat my collarbone snaps in half lol. My life flashed before my eyes as I laid there bawling on the mat.

I was a first year wrestler as a sophomore coming from a catholic 7-9 middle school with only 3 weeks of wrestling each year in phys ed class. Was doing OK about .500 mid season. Then the big dual against last years section champion at my weight. I get on the mat with some apprehension and we begin the hand fight. I'm thinking wow this guy isn't overpowering me I'm even getting this good week side underhook(clueless as to stepping into his setup). BAM next thing I know I'm getting dumped so hard my collar bone cracks the minute I hit the mat. I'm sent to the hospital for the positive XRAY. My strongest memory is my teammates coming and me being wacked out on the effect of pain killers after sucking to cut weight.

I am either the greatest wrestler ever. Or the worst. The world will never know.

I got repeatedly ridden out and pinned by Jimmy's mom.

He was eating a Lunchable and watching Spongebob in the room next door.
