Great quotes in wrestling.....

[Fadzaev2]

I'll start it off......""If I'm on the mat, I'm going hard the whole time....I'm not going to let my opponent get a chance to do anything to me....when I'm off the mat, I'm a gentleman, but when I'm on the mat, I turn into sort of like, and animal"  Dan Gable before the 1972 Olympics

[flyingcement]

Not a great quote, but I always remember it because it makes me laugh.  

My neighbor growing up was a weight below me. We would carpool to away matches and our parents would tape each other's kids so the actual parents could watch without worrying about recording. His dad was tough on him and the following convo happened after he got pinned in a headlock early in the first period.

Dad: "Nice going, Matt.  What did you last, about ten seconds?"

Matt: "But Dad! He got me in a headlock!"

Dad: "Matt, this is wrestling.  Don't let him get you in a headlock."
