Longtime friend of the show Ostin Blanchard joins Teague and Steve and shares a life and wrestling story that's nothing short of exciting! Ostin starts the show by talking about his very fateful adoption and his transition to the US (and Wisconsin weather) when he was eight. We then get into wrestling talk, where Ostin talks about his greatest moments of motivation and we highlight his best matches in a journey that saw him go from a .500 wrestler his freshman year to becoming this year's D2 126 pound State Champ! Ostin is a prime example of what happens when you mix work ethic with a great attitude and exemplifies why he is a fan favorite in the state of Wisconsin, you won't want to miss this one!
