One of my wrestlers was over getting a DVD burned for school and while it was burning we watched Vision Quest. It was the first time I saw it in a couple years, I think. Now I remember why it's one of my all-time favorite movies! I'm already all pumped for the spring season...
"He's a genuine geratoid!"

For formal occasions he wears a button down and tie.

My sophomore year (his senior year) I wrestled him at the Bellaire Invitational in the finals. Sadly, (for me) he won convincingly as he actually had a good takedown technique unlike me at that point. He was a nice guy afterwards considering he beat the fool out of me. Now, the other guy I wrestled from Groveport Madison my junior year (Josh Frohnapple) I can't say the same about. Beat him and his older brother dang near lost his mind. He (the brother) was removed from the gym by police. Quite a nut.

Exciting times in the Groveport Madison history.
It is amazingly crazy how brothers can get.
One of those years I wrestled John Anderson (BSJ)... STRAIGHT Whoooooooopped me. 15-0 I do believe...And amazingly enough, it wasn't even THAT close!!!!!!

Sounds like the match between me and your brother. I can't remember the exact score, but I do remember he beat me by 8....and I was thankful he only beat me by that much. I think that match, more than any other in my career, highlighted my need to improve my takedown technique.

I believe the word that you are looking for is "teratoid," meaning, resembling a monster.
My wife claims that I was first attracted to her because of her name...anyone have a guess what that name may be?
A few of my favorite quotes from the movie:
"...lift himself, and the rest of us sad *** human beings, up to a better place to be if only for a minute...It ain't the six minutes. It's what happens in that six minutes."
"Plus, I think I contracted priapism."
"Hey Shute!" "Careful Louden."

One of my personal favorite went something like: "Hey Otto, I've got news for you. Wrestling is not a team sport. When you're out there against a guy who is faster and stronger than you, there isn't a whole hell of a lot your team can do for you." While that movie had some cheezy points to it, I think that line and the one you quoted from the old guy who was telling the story of Pele made up for that.

Not my favorite quote, but definitely the funniest, I think. It was when Louden came downstairs from the hotel and just casually said something along the lines of "Some guy just grabbed my wad."
I think it's hilarious that Swain was supposed to be the weight-cutter when Shute looked about 20 pounds heavier.

Speaking of the nose bleeds, when was the last time your coach made you forfeit a match because of one? I had nose bleeds all the time. If my coach made me forfeit even one match for a nose bleed he would have been fired. No self respecting coach would have done that. That was one of those moments in the movie where I had to throw an entire box of BS flags.

Anyone else remember the scene where he is picking up trash in the front lawn of the school? Odd time to practice your penetration step.
