PICTURES
A picture from the beginning of the season. I was told I look like Spiderman in this picture. I wrestled at the 130 lb weight class.
The 1995-96 Mannheim Bison Wrestling Squad
Our "silly" picture. The nautilus man there in the center is my best friend Joe aka my brother Joey Gambino
This pic may be familiar from one of my other pages. Dun dun duh...another one bites the dust...
Me facing off against my opponent before the championship match of Regionals. This was a rematch for me since I faced off against this guy at the last regular season meet (at home too) where he won by decision (since the referee decided to let him keep racking me). I took this one 9-7 for the Regional Championship.
Me and Coach Staton at Europeans Championships in a break in the action. Wrestling is the most intense 6 minutes I have ever experienced in my life. It's like sprinting for 2 minutes straight then getting a few second breather and doing it again and again. That's if there is no overtime. That's why most everyone loves to pin their opponent.
Sorry, but I like this picture. It is really dramatic. It's hard to see the score, but I am down by one (10-11) with 45 seconds left.
This is one of the little skull and crossbone stickers from my headgear. You got one for every pin that you got.
