I will never cut weight like that again. Other than that I loved to hear the other guy scream when I did the guillotine...
I used to wrestle for Spencerport, NY (years ago) @125 and 135. I wasn't great, but our team was (I think they won states again this year). Every year I either ended up with the flu or pneumonia though. But right about the time I finished wrestling in high school, I was the healthiest I've ever been. But 4 years of college drinking pretty much did me in. I've been recovering from that for two years now. I'd like to say I'll get in that good of shape again in my life, but I don't know. I find that a lack of team sports as you get older really hinders the process of getting back in shape.
