Unfortunately bad journalism and their parrot fans who love someones failure have become a staple on every wrestling forum.
So many wrestlers have and are experiencing what Alex has by not winning a national title..Hidley, Massa, Seabass, Deacon, Redd and many more. Yet they focus on Alex because of their hatred for Iowa and pleasure because a Hawkeye lost.
I cant imagine the weight Alex has carried on those broad shoulders since he came to Iowa, the disappointment of not getting the title.
The loss and tragedy of losing someone like Eli, the constant reminder everytime you put on a singlet of him.
Injuries/second guessing and wear on both body and mind may make you walk away..if so I say thanks for being a great representative both on and off the mat and coming to Iowa.
