Jordan Burroughs' story is a true underdog story. Respect.

[@amex4453]

@tony Patton woahh...that's quite alot...but i'm afraid you overexaggerated a bit...anyway, I hope your son is successful

[@harryhirsch8527]

underdog? good one

How is he an underdog? Bc he’s black? Nah gtfo

[@ecs3821]

[@greatstate58]

Bob Lee Swagger underdog because based on his high school career his path wasn’t expected. Stop making things about race!

[@angoor101]

As an Iranian wrestling fan, you're my champion of the world, respected as our champ, the one and only Jordan Burroughs.

[@Zzzzzzzzzxxxxx]

Respect 💪 bridging gaps through the love of the greatest sport in the world. Much love from New York!

[@MRphipps54]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a professional athlete, especially as one as elite in their own sport as Jordan Burroughs, that is so humble, grateful, and still amazed by their own success. This guy is a serious role model of mine.

Jesus fuck, this man is the biggest of underdogs. So many mishaps, so many falls. And yet he stood up again and again, and NEVER GAVE UP.

Thank you for being you, thank you for existing Jordan Burroughs. 🙇 Cheers from Macedonia!

[@davidgdmz4551]

It's incredible to be able to keep putting in the dedication required to stay on THE task of THE GRIND, day after day all these years. The man has extreme depth of character. His parents, his wife, his coach, long term TEAM EFFORT

[@75kwbsrdds]

Love this guy. The only problem is that he sees the struggle of his parents as a weakness. Instead of seeing it as perseverance, commitment, love and honoring of drive of his ancestors. The drive to overcome, match and conquer the oppression, disadvantage, doubt, hatred, marginalization faced by his fathers and mothers. And inspite of it all they fulfilled their promise to their ancestors and destiny...to give the world a better them with better opportunity...Jordan. That it's name. Honor your ancestors by remembering and honoring their struggle, sacrifice, survival and success.

[@EWPR0DUCTI0NS]

He does honor them, his parents were a big part of this film. He respects the hell out of them for the struggle they've gone through.

[@bobmarley4272]

He doesn't see it as a weakness. He just doesn't want to end up like them; can you really blame him for not wanting to get stuck in the rate race?

[@joshuafischer947]

Jordan is a very humbling man! Never got to meet him but I do remember going to the Nebraska wrestling camp every summer(from 2009-2013)with Independence High based out of TN and the clinics are phenomenal!! Not sure if anyone remembers his name but McCoy Newberg was a teammate of mine that graduated 2 years before me and he wrestled for Nebraska for a short while. Very fortunate to have coach Grindstaff in high school!! He would sacrifice anything to help his wrestlers get to the next level. Praying for big things to happen for Nebraska wrestling and Jordan as well!!!

[@ligma1689]

I wrestle all the time. Although I know I’m not gonna get anywhere, my three years of wrestling and I haven’t even won a match in the state qualifiers. This story really did inspire me and JB is an amazing wrestler. It’s amazing how dedicated he is to the sport and I respect him so much.

[@jaidenreed4967]

This helps everyone realize that the problems we are facing are happening to everyone it's just different for each individual and the great ones push through and become legends

"Nobody is born A Warrior, in exactly the same way that Nobody is born an average man. We make our'selves into one or the other. When A Warrior learns to stop the internal dialogue everything becomes possible. The most far-fetched schemes become attainable. A Warrior takes responsibility for his acts, for the most trivial of acts. An average man acts out his thoughts, and never takes responsibility for what he does." You are no average man: *You are A Warrior* Salute

[@matthewhorizon6050]

I agree, for the most part. But some folks are biologically disadvantaged. Some cannot be a warrior.

My son is starting his senior yr in high school, he’s been wrestling for two yrs and is has worked extremely hard and work hard and is really good, anyway I’m redoing his room for him and I’m making him a metal board with a wrestling saying I’m on it so I asked him what his favorite one was and he said mom actually how much room do you have , I said as much as you need why? He said I want this! And he played me the first minute of this , and well it won’t fit on the board so instead I’m making to cover his wall!!! You are truly an inspiration to my son and many many others, from a wrestling mom, a true wrestling team mom that has been to every match, except one tournament, I broke my back but still tried to go, I’m there not only for my son but every wrestler on the team , I just want to say thank you!!! It hardly seems enough but that’s all I can muster at this moment just a heart felt THANK YOU!!

I've watched this the last 3 or 4 years in a row because it's so inspiring to see where he started then listen to his story threw high-school being a runner up then winning the State championship in New Jersey but not being recruited that was shocking I went to high school and wrestle at Paulsboro in New Jersey and I know how big wrestling is out here that's crazy anyway knowing how hard it is going to college your freshman year getting beat when your use to winning but sticking with it to keep grinning keep fighting seeing him take that next step it gives me chills Took more than a step he ran all the way to the top not just college but represents us and being the best in the world and stayed there for so many years..WOW what a ture league and genuine Good dude who will go down as one of the all time greats he's a icon and someone you can point to as proof look what's possible your going to have ups and downs but you pick yourself up learn and keep fighting grown you will get better at anything you want in life let's go

Also from Sec 4 is Kyle Dake, Jon Jones, Troy Nickerson, JP O'Connor, etc. That place is a NYS wrestling hotbed. One of the Worthing bros -- from Tioga might be the next big thing out of that area.
