Great Wrestling Quote. Who Said It?

[hawkaeg80]

"Wrestling is mental toughness, it's discipline. You've got to make weight. There's times you can't eat. You go a couple days and you're hungry all the time. You're in hand-to-hand physical combat. Your nose gets busted, your eyes get busted. It's just you on the mat. You can't point the finger at anybody else. You learn to be disciplined and tough and try to find a way to finish.

"Those are the things that you get out of wrestling."
