Best wrestler interviews

[666]

What are your favorite interviews the wrestlers have had over the years at NCAAs? Prefer to hear stories where the wrestler said something really weird, funny,  and unfathomable.

Sammy Brooks is a classic of the genre. I also love two post match interviews from 2021. Nick Lee's "chop wood, carry water" and AJ Ferrari's "665".

"I just trusted in the Lord. I looked up and said, Jesus, whatever your will is for my life I trust it 100 percent."

- Every wrestler -

"The book of Revelation mentions the church in Philadelphia, which was written specifically about me competing in the 2025 NCAA championships in a city with the same name but 5000 miles away from the original one."

Just once I'd like to see one of those guys offer salutations to Palaestra or Nike. Or better yet completely creep out a woman you've been stalking and dedicate it all to her, hehe.

The year Trump came to NCAAs and when they asked Starocci about meeting him he said it was really cool and Trump has a big pair of balls.

Askren's "backward track meet" interview.

I found this interview with Jason Nolf to be really humorous because of the interviewer's questions and demeanor, along with the guy eating ice cream and watching:

I was trying to find the old Askren interviews and couldn't find any of the good ones.

Yianni telling Quint after the semis that he needs to grow some nuts

Cory Clark spilling the beans and saying that Terry asked him to pick him up and slam him

Zain quoting Braveheart "you can take away my life, but you'll never take away my freedom"... after being asked what it was like being taken down in the finals

 

(No shade, all great kids, and I've definitely said stupider things after a match with far less at stake)

That was an all-timer

[Elevator]

Shane Griffith  - really deft handling of the  pending thresat to cut Stanford wreslting.   He may not get enough credit for turning the tide.   Impressive poise for a wrestler coming off the mat in the NCAA finals.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Gadsen and his ice cream. 
 

or Dake and his steroid comment after his freshman title. 
 

I always enjoyed Gabe Dean saying he turned down a football scholarship from GA Tech so he could wrestle at Cornell … only for him to backtrack and say that didn’t happen the next match.

I remember this one when it happened. Tears to my eyes. Captured so many things so profoundly.
