Give me a sport that is greater than wrestling, that's more dominant than wrestling and with more champions in fighting than with wrestling. There isn't. The sport that's king is wrestling.

Henry Cejudo

Iran has been strong in individual sports like wrestling, judo and weightlifting, but we have never excelled at team sports.

Ali Daei

I have had quite a few injuries during my time and if you are not injured in this sport [bodybuilding], you are not doing anything.

Ronnie Coleman

Competitive bodybuilding is a niche sport, but bodybuilding is for everybody.

My first passion was running: I excelled at that starting till the end of the high school. I pretty much cover about 20 miles a night on stage. I basically rechanneled all the athleticism and adrenaline, and everything that's exciting about sports into music. That was my secret weapon, because in Ukrainian punk rock scene - where everything was very gloomy - being athletic was not cool. I didn't publicize anything about my sport past, but I rolled in onstage with a background nobody had, and I became instantly recognized as the wildest performer in the punk-rock scene.

Eugene Hutz

There is an abundance of good sports talent in India, and wrestling needs a strong support of a very big brand to endorse the sport.

Sangram Singh

There's a pride in representing your country on a stage like the sport of wrestling, which I've done since I was five years old. There's nothing that can deter me other than my own decision to leave the sport.

Jordan Burroughs

When I ran track, I couldn't see myself doing anything other than running track. Now I'm in wrestling, and I can't see myself doing anything other than wrestling, because I've completely fallen in love with what I do in this business.

Bianca Belair

There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.

Roland Barthes

I think sports and bodybuilding were the only things that saved me from getting beat up. People are not pleased, for whatever reason, when you can answer all the questions in class. If not for the respect I got from track, cross-country, wrestling and bodybuilding, it would have been a disaster.

Aaron Patzer

The bodybuilding world has lost one of its greatest legends. I had a chance to speak with Steve Michalik a year ago at The Upper State Bodybuilding competition. We laughed and shared our personal opinions about bodybuilding [today's scene and how it was in the past]. Steve, we'll miss you. R.I.P.

Lee Haney

I was surrounded by strong women so it had never even occurred to me that women were anything other than equal to men.

David Bailey

More endearingly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self control and pride.

Dan Gable

I feel bad for guys in other sports that never work a job. Think about it, most MMA fighters have had to do something for money whereas a guy who was an athlete in college sport then went straight to the pros, he's never had a skill outside of sport.

Forrest Griffin

I started doing wrestling just as a fun thing and I ended up getting some breaks and made a job out of it but I never had a real passion for it. I met a lot of great people and enjoyed doing what I did but wrestling wasn't something I lived and breathed.
