Wrestling Narrative
The Fall
"Fall" is a term in wrestling where a wrestler is pinned to the ground on his back. Being beaten by fall is one of the ultimate forms of humiliation for the loser and a demonstration of absolute domination for the winner. I won most wrestling matches during my eighth grade year. My ego began to inflate more and more, as I began defeating most of my opponents by fall. However, I was not becoming a positive role model. With my undefeated record, I found myself fooling around in practice and bragging that I was the best wrestler ever. These churlish activities weren’t corrected until the season was nearing a close.
It was a match like any other day against Lyndhurst, I was being overconfident and not actually focusing on my match.
