75th Anniversary Team WRESTLING HONORS KURT ANGLE & WADE SCHALLES NWCA/NCAA NAMES TOP 15 WRESTLERS OF ALL TIME (St. Louis, Missouri): In front of 4,000 enthusiastic wrestling fans at Union Station’s South Plaza, the NCAA & NWCA announced their 75th Anniversary All-Time collegiate wrestling team on Friday, March 18, 2005 and Clarion unbelievably had two members. Former Clarion greats Wade Schalles (1971-74) and Kurt Angle (1988-92) were two of only fifteen collegiate wrestlers named to the All-Time team. The team had four members from Iowa, three from Oklahoma State, two each from Clarion and Iowa State, and one each from Fresno State, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Pitt-Johnstown. Schalles, a native of Hollidaysburg, wrestled at Clarion from 1971-74. He had an unbeliev- able career record of 153-5-1, won NCAA Division I Titles in 1972 at 150-pounds and 1973 at 158-pounds. His top seasons were 40-0-1 in 1974, 39-1 in 1972 and 37-0 in 1973. Wade held the NCAA record for most career pins (106) and also won NCAA College Division titles in 1972 and 73, and was voted the “Outstanding Wrestler” at both tournaments in 1972. Angle, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa. (Mt. Lebanon High), had a storied career at Clarion from 1988-92. He was 116-10-2 and was a two time NCAA Division I Heavyweight Champion in 1990 and 1992, plus placed second at nationals in 1991. He is one of only four wrestlers in EWL history to win 4 individual titles (1988, 90, 91, 92) and three PSAC crowns (90, 91, 92). He was EWL “Wrestler of the Year” in 1990 and 92 and PSAC “Wrestler of the Year” three times (90, 91, 92). He is also remembered for winning the World Championship in 1995 and Olympic Gold in Atlanta, Georgia in 1996. Watching the duo get their awards was former Clarion head coach Bob Bubb (1967-92). “When I was up on that stage, I was looking down at coach Bubb and he was all smiles. You could see it in his eyes that this brought him a lot of joy. It made it special for me to be here for him, much more than for me myself.” Said Kurt Angle, “ I was happy for coach (Bubb), for all of his hard work paid off in Wade and I being honored. It was nice for him and Clarion, and proved we could produce champions. Coach Bubb means everything to me.” Bubb, who had an overall record of 322-121-4 said, “As I stood and watched the ceremony I was thinking how wonderful it would have been to have all the Clarion wrestling fans here to enjoy this moment,” noted a very proud Bubb. “So many people have helped and done so much for Clarion to achieve this type of success. I told them both that I couldn’t have been prouder of them as people and wrestlers.” KURT ANGLE, COACH BOB BUBB, WADE SCHALLES AT 75 TH ANNIVERSARY CEREMONY.

Finally the Rock has come back to Springfield. You know, it’s good clean fun. Honestly, I wouldn’t let my son watch it. This is Austin’s middle finger. Too much violence. That and a lot of kids want to be like Stone Cold so they’ll drink beer. The female wrestlers, I think, are tremendous athletes. Big boobs and ripping each other’s clothes off. She’s a whore. Sometimes they get naked. The women are just their little playthings. The things they make them do, get on the ground and bark (barking sounds). That was pretty cool what they did to Trish. It’s promoting men beating on women. They want to come into the man’s world, they deserve to be treated just like a man. If a man is hitting a woman what is that showing the little kid? It’s not the WWF’s responsibility to raise them kids. It’s no worse than watching a movie or watching a soap opera or watching television. It’s entertainment. It’s entertainment. It’s just entertainment. I think it’s only entertainment, yeah. SUT JHALLY: You know it’s really difficult to get people to take professional wrestling seriously.

An Analytical Study on Wrestling in India
International Journal of Enhanced Research in Educational Development (IJERED), ISSN: 2320-8708 Vol. 2, Issue 5, Sept.-Oct., 2014, pp: (10-15), Impact Factor: 1.125, Available online at: www.erpublications.com An analytical study on Wrestling in India Rekha Narwal MKJK College, MDU Rohtak, Haryana, India Abstract: This manuscript gives an analytical study on Wrestling in India. In preparing young wrestlers (16-17 years of age) the design often follows a relatively well-developed system of training for adult masters of sport. In general, the youthful body is characterized by a high intensity cardio-respiratory and blood systems during physical stress. So far, no data on the impact of intense competitive activity on the dynamics of individual aspects of preparedness of young wrestlers is available. Our objective was to study the impact of competitive activity on the functional training state in young wrestlers. Keywords: Competitions, Rules, Female Wrestling, Factor Analysis, Technique Wrestlers, training, weight management. INTRODUCTION Wrestling is unique among athletics. It is considered to be one of the most physically demanding sports among high school and college athletics. Wrestling was one of the most favored events in the Olympic Games in Ancient Greece. The first organized national wrestling tournament took place in New York City in 1888. From the Athens Games in 1896, until today, the wrestling events are also an important part of the modern Olympic Games. The International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles (FILA) originated in 1912 in Antwerp, Belgium. The 1st NCAA Wrestling Championships were also held in 1912, in Ames, Iowa. USA Wrestling, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, became the national governing body of amateur wrestling in 1983.

The Need of a Weight Management Control Program in Judo
Artioli et al. Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 2010, 7:15 http://www.jissn.com/content/7/1/15 COMMENTARY Open Access TheCommentary need of a weight management control program in judo: a proposal based on the successful case of wrestling Guilherme G Artioli*1,2, Emerson Franchini2, Humberto Nicastro1, Stanislaw Sterkowicz3, Marina Y Solis1 and Antonio H Lancha Junior1 Abstract Judo competitions are divided into weight classes. However, most athletes reduce their body weight in a few days before competition in order to obtain a competitive advantage over lighter opponents. To achieve fast weight reduction, athletes use a number of aggressive nutritional strategies so many of them place themselves at a high health-injury risk. In collegiate wrestling, a similar problem has been observed and three wrestlers died in 1997 due to rapid weight loss regimes. After these deaths, the National Collegiate Athletic Association had implemented a successful weight management program which was proven to improve weight management behavior. No similar program has ever been discussed by judo federations even though judo competitors present a comparable inappropriate pattern of weight control. In view of this, the basis for a weight control program is provided in this manuscript, as follows: competition should begin within 1 hour after weigh-in, at the latest; each athlete is allowed to be weighed-in only once; rapid weight loss as well as artificial rehydration (i.e., saline infusion) methods are prohibited during the entire competition day; athletes should pass the hydration test to get their weigh-in validated; an individual minimum competitive weight (male athletes competing at no less than 7% and females at no less than 12% of body fat) should be determined at the beginning of each season; athletes are not allowed to compete in any weight class that requires weight reductions greater than 1.5% of body weight per week.
