Pretty inspirational story.

.....but really, how do you wrestle the guy, seriously, and also if you win, you beat a gimp, if you lose, you lost to a gimp, there is no upside to westling him.....

- did that make me sound like the worst human on the planet?-

I've seen stories on this guy on TV... he's actually quite  a talented wrestler. He's quick & strong. He may not have the best win/loss record but you have to give him a ton of credit for doing what he wants to & not letting anyone tell him "no".

I understand how you feel though... I feel the same way about girls in wrestling (in school; not sports entertainment). It goes with the same thing... if you win you beat a girl... if you lose you got beat by a girl. But then again, I know afew girls that could whup the guys I wrestled with in high school.

On the other hand, you get to wrestle with a girl. It's win-win.

Unless you're Jake.

I don't think so. I was thinking the very same thing and I'm sure this is about as far as he'll be able to take it. I highly doubt any Division I school is going to open thier program to an armless/legless wrestler.

If I was a coach, I'd tell my wrestlers to push down on his head and stay to his left side (the shortest stump side).

I can't see him doing power bombs and piledrivers anytime in the future though.

You can duct tape a mic to one of his stumps.
