WWE Diva Eve Torres: Empowering Women

August 23rd, 2011

There is perhaps no current wrestler as beautiful as Eve Torres. She truly is one of the most beautiful women on earth. And having personally met her, I can also say that she is one of the nicest. She’s the two time WWE Champion and also spends a lot of her time helping to empower women.

This is important because today many women (despite the advancements made) still feel as though they have to meet some strict guideline as to what it means to be a “woman.”

Eve Torres takes those guidelines and body slams them! She’s a strong independent woman, yet she still has the care and devotion that women are known for. She inspires women of all ages to go after life with passion, and that’s something we need way more of in this day and age.

The Iowa Wrestling Team Is Officially Back

June 14th, 2010

The University of Iowa wrestling team has long been heralded as the creme de la crème among college wrestling programs, but between 2001-2007, the team failed to win a single national championship. That may not seem like that big of a deal to the casual sports fan, but for a program that won 25 of the 36 national titles between 1975 and 2010, that is quite a drought.

I’m an Iowa State wrestling fan, and I was thrilled to see that, even though the Iowa State Cyclones did not bring home any national titles in that span, either. It was just good to see a few other programs getting a piece of the pie as well.

In 2008, however, the Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling team won again. They won in 2009 and 2010 as well, and this most recent one was particularly convincing, as four of their wrestlers reached the finals and three won individual championships. The Iowa wrestling team had sown up the victory before the final day of competition even rolled around.

For years, the collegiate sport was associated with Dan Gable, the legendary wrestler who only lost one match his entire college career. I would like to point out that Gable competed for the Iowa State wrestling team, but that’s beside the point.

As a coach at Iowa, Gable led the Hawkeyes wrestling team to 15 national championships, including an incredible run of nine in a row between 1978 and 1986. He coached the team from 1976 to 1998, and they were the team to beat in college wrestling.

During his tenure, only Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Arizona State won national championships besides Iowa.

It appeared that all of that had changed in 2001, as Minnesota and Oklahoma State became the teams to beat, winning seven national championships between them. Then Tom Brands took over as head coach at Iowa, and it is been all Hawkeyes ever since.

I think that the main question is, how good is it for the sport of college wrestling that the University of Iowa wrestling team dominates the way it does year in and year out? I guess that really depends on who you ask.

For fans of the University of Iowa, it obviously is great. They have built a tradition where it is simply expected that they will win or at least contend for a national championship every year.

For fans of other wrestling teams, it is kind of divided. Some people hate the Iowa wrestling team and want them to lose no matter what, while others feel that beating out the University of Iowa for a national championship would be extra sweet because of their dominance. They don’t really harbor any ill will toward the Iowa wrestling team but realize that the Hawkeyes have set the bar very high.

Wrestling News

June 6th, 2008

Pro Wrestling in itself is one of the most unique forms of entertainment out there. Some call it a sport, some call it a soap opera and others call it a traveling stage show. For something so hard to pigeon hole it is equally as hard for reporters to cover the wrestling news.
In the dinosaur age before wrestling was exposed journalists would cover wrestling news as if it were a real sport like boxing. They would show up at the events, make notes and when a wrestler won then that was that.

A Fully Illustrated Instruction Manual Outlining How To Begin Your Wrestling Career And Be Wrestling Like A WWF Star In No-Time-At-All

February 20th, 2007

The mat drill is a mass-exercise activity that involves the practice of individual wrestling techniques. This drill is similar to the so-called football grass drill, except that the action applies to skills in wrestling. The members of the class space themselves over the mat area so that there is at least a double-arm interval between them.

A. Start. The start is a standing position with the hands resting on the legs just above the knees.   The arms are straight and the weight of the upper body is resting on the hands.

B. On Guard. By removing the hands from the legs, and keeping the inside of the upper arms pressed against the sides of the chest and taking a short step forward with either foot, the wrestler’s “on guard” position is assumed.

Supplements Can Advance Your Weight Lifting Progress

December 7th, 2006

Ever wondered how many people seem to be getting more muscular or toned while not working much harder than you?  Are you about at your limit of what you can eat in a day?  Building up a body is hard, painful, repetitive work. Some people burn fat quicker than others.  Others build muscle a whole lot easier.  Many work hard day after day but still just don’t make the progress they would like to.  So, what is the secret?  Well, its not really a secret.  Some say its drugs.  We all know that is a bad practice, and really isn’t conducive to the best health.  So, how do you get to the next level?  There are safe, tested, and widely used nutritional supplements that can make that difference.

Every time the phrase weight lifting supplements comes up, many people begin to think of steroids or hormonal drugs. While it is true that some of the supplements available in the market fall in this category, there are many weight lifting supplements available which are more holistic in nature. These are the weight lifting supplements I am referring to. Simply put, think of them as a balanced and nutritional food supplement that caters to the overall needs of anyone who indulges in a certain amount of body building activity.  The operative word is supplement.
