About Greg
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I have been wrestling for 4 years and I can teach anyone a lot about wrestling. My coachs have told me in the past that i can be a great wrestler and that one day i will be on top. I like to help other wrestlers be the best they can be by helping them out when they need it. So if you have any questions about moves of if you should go to wrestle please ask me about it. Please do not send me stuff about the WWE. I use to wrestling but I currently do not. Although I am not currently wrestling, I still remember the hard times I went through which made me stronger and I like to pass on my knowledge to other generations.

Experience
I have about 4 years experience in wrestling.
