Have we talked about “Unstoppable”

Watched it yesterday decent movie. A lot about Robles journey. Plays Iowa out as the Bad guy. Hard to tell what’s true and false after all they have him losing to McDonough his junior year.
 
My wife cuts Matt’s wife’s hair and they were flown out for the premiere. Not sure exactly what they thought of the moxie. My brother and college roommate both wrestled at Iowa and the guys I know from the program generally feel that any exposure is good for the sport. Being portrayed to be the bad guy in a movie is fine if it’s helping bring more eyes to the sport.

When it comes to wrestling, Robles’ condition, when trained, was an advantage not a disadvantage on the mat.

Let me guess…vhsalum is your brother.

As for Robles, it isn’t a matter of just “training.” He turned an incredible disadvantage and found a way to make it his advantage in an unprecedented way, because of HIS efforts. No one has done it at the highest level before or since. Plus, I’ve spent time with him and he’s a fantastic guy. That’s why he deserved all the kudos and praise.

No, I’m Dan Gogel and my brother Matt was on the team in the late 90s.
