This week’s edition of “On the Mat” will feature Wade Schalles.

Schalles is one of the most dynamic and dominant wrestlers ever. While wrestling at Clarion University, Schalles won two NCAA titles and became the first wrestler to ever pin 100 opponents during his college career. He is in the “Guinness Book of World Records” for recording the most wins (821) and most pins (530) for a career.

Each year Wrestling International Newsmagazine gives out the Schalles and Junior Schalles Awards to the most dominant college and high school wrestlers in the nation.

Schalles is currently working with Media Sports Productions, a non-profit organization with the sole purpose of helping promote the sport of wrestling. The goal of the organization is to get wrestling on television on a consistent basis.

“On the Mat” is a weekly wrestling radio program that airs every Wednesday night. This week’s broadcast can be heard live from 6-7 p.m. Central Standard Time. The Dan Gable International Wrestling Institute and Museum in Waterloo, Iowa, hosts the show.

“On the Mat” can be heard live on the Internet at www.kcnzam.com or locally in Northeast Iowa on 1650, The Fan. Feel free to e-mail radio@wrestlingmuseum.org with questions or comments about the show.
