Every Victory is Earned
Wrestling is one of those unique sports that is a team sport which places special emphasis on individual accomplishment and achievement. In wrestling, there are no excuses and EVERYTHING IS EARNED. Two guys step on the mat, each with a dream or vision of winning; only one will leave the mat capturing their dream. One will have their dream taken by the other wrestler.
