Aaron Brooks moving up to 197 and showing his obnoxious attitude is planned.
He thinks ahead.
MMA future as well as hoping he will face A.J. Ferrari at iowa.
Ferrari has that Bad Boy thing going - for real, not just playing it on the mat. Real enough John Smith was glad to get rid of him at Oklahoma State and real enough Tommy Brands wants him at Iowa so they will appear tougher.
Brooks is making crazy statements, his Jesus stuff and "Mohammed is wrong" stuff. Controversial and raising hackles all over the place in the minor sports world that is amateur wrestling.
He is doing it hoping Ferrari does wrestle at Iowa it will be "The Battle of The Bad Boys" - and help with his publicity for the future.
When and if we see him on the mat with Ferrari - who will be the Bad Boy?
