I remember my first Pack wrestling match vividly. I came in with low expectations, simply because the high school matches I went to were… How do you say?… Less than enthusiastic.
But it was 1000 times better than imagined.
A packed Reynolds, to face-off against UNC, had buzz in the air at first entry and was electric the entire night. The crescendo of noise growing as fans could sense a shoulder heading for the mat or a needed two-point takedown to win. It’s easily the closest thing to a true gladiator feel, The Coliseum was The Colosseum.
