"I've always said that one person I would like to wrestle is myself," Clark said. "I want to see what it feels like. I want to see if I'm strong. I want to see how easy it is to get to my leg. I want to see what it feels like when I'm in on my own leg. I would be on bottom -- this guy does not want me to get out. I'm on top -- this guy will not let me ride him."

A Clark vs. Clark matchup could look like two rams colliding from opposite sides of those nifty street banners dotting the St. Louis landscape.

But that image -- quoting Tom Brands -- would be of national champion Cory Clark, one tough son-of-a-gun.

His post-finals presser is well worth a listen. It's a little like his presser after the semis. He gives quite a bit of insight into his frame of mind and gives you a glimpse of the kind of psychological battles a top-level wrestler fights. Quite a thoughtful young man. Dang, I'm happy for that kid!

I like this idea a lot!

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

He can just ask Tom and Terry what it's like to wrestle themselves

Agreed. My guess is it would end up with punches being thrown and broken furniture.

I enjoyed both the semi and final interviews (more than 83% and that is hard to do). Honest answers, humble, and they made you think. Love that kid and the stuff he is made of.

I think Clark wins hands down.

I've always thought Clark was the most well spoken guy on the team. He's consistently very thoughtful with his word choice. Seems like someone who is normally a quiet/reserved guy but if he was in a private or more personal setting would be great to have a conversation with. Pick his brain on some different wrestling positions he's a master in.

When I heard the semi-final press conference, I thought to myself, I have never heard him talk that much. It was refreshing to hear his insight.

Had exactly the same thought!
