Let's take it one step further -how would you wrestle Kyle -that wrestler with no arms and no legs , he has flippers . He is an inspiration to me and should be to everyone ,but if he flippered out on the mat against me I'd try to rip his head off -are you all familiar with this kid ? Bryant Gumble did a 'REAL SPORTS' episode about him and his attitude is wonderful . I remember when he said 'every child has to learn to open a jar . I just had to find my own way ''. No self pity -none!!

If you really felt that way then why would you keep referring to his appendages as flippers? That doesn't sound very PC to me.

That is how he referred to them and who am I to argue with him . I really don't give a darn about being PC either . Freedom of speech still exists .

I got the chance to see him live in action. it was unbelievable. You just have to wrestle the match like it was a normal person, kyle chose to wrestle and he expects to get treated like everyone else, im sure he nor did any other person with a missing limb look down on those who went after their weaknesses.

He did refer to them as flippers though (in both interviews Ive seen him in).

PC withdrawn, my bad r.payton. I didn't know that he was referring to his appendages as flippers. I am a little red-faced and it SEEMED out of character for you to say something like that.

there was a guy like that at ohio states this year (no arms or legs) and he got a lot of media coverage... I think he was 40-1 going into sectionals...

goferphan

They interviewed a kid that Kyle had pinned and he said it was like wrestlind a cramp -just a knot of muscle-the only thing he finally had to make a concession to was once he got to college he had to get a little scooter to wheel around in because he was always late to class -EVERYONE should see if they can find that interview ,He is my personal hero .
