This past 12 - 18 months our sport has received much attention due to being on the short list of potential sports to be dropped by the Olympics.  We have raised support and opened eyes to how passionate Wrestling is to those that love it and to some who had no idea they could.  There are many that are consistant great ambassadors on line or in public.  Ben Askrens push to sell out the Big Tens comes to mind.  Now that our season is about to be hitting full stride I think we should find Over Drive and go harder. 

That being said I have another idea:  The movie "Foxcatcher" will soon be released to the movie theatres.  It is an amazing true story that is being played out by some major heavy hitters in Hollywood.  Lets also sell it out !!!  Tell everyone everywhere to go see it.  What better way to let the world know the passion that we all have for wrestling then to hit people right smack in the gut.  Number one in the box office wether we like it or not has a lot of impact on peoples feelings towards topics they previously did not know much about.  If its as good as the book it will be a blockbuster !

That's some serious star power in this movie.  Looking forward to seeing it.

Wow!  Looks like a great performance and a great movie!  Looking forward to seeing this flick!
None are so hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by masters who rule them with lies. -Johann Von Goethe

Some days it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints!
