I was wrestling freestyle for the first time ever. Jr club duals in state college back when it was good. Our teams first match was against a bunch of guys in pink fish t shirts and chicken hats(IYKYK). We were getting smoked pretty bad but holding our own and as it drew closer to my match I spotted my guy. It was the one I had been hoping for. Smiling pretty boy goofy as hell seemingly just there for a good time. I shook his hand and 30 seconds later I was walking back to my bench. His name: Jake Herbert.
I later took beatings from Keith Gavin, Jared Ricotta, and Kyle Cathcart that day. Quite the intro to the style where guys are allowed to slam you.
