Cornish wrestling was very different from that in Devon - it was less brutal, as no kicking was allowed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know people sometimes have this fantasy about Cornwall. But the Cornish are so grounded.
I always equate wrestling to having been in the Marine Corps.
Maybe if I'd not been able to kick a ball it would have been different, but I doubt it because all my mates are decent blokes now, just normal fellas with families.
I was brought up in the north of England, which is probably no rougher than anywhere else, but I remember as a child being kind of mesmerized by girls fighting on the playground.
Instead of being like the other kids going to soccer or football practice, I was wrestling every day.
In rugby union, I was out wide kicking stones with the pretty boys.
To be in love with Debo Devonshire is hardly a distinction.
Wrestling is a hard sport, but it's only a sport.
There are no tough guys in wrestling.
Kinsey kick started a lot in shocking people with how much homosexual activity there is.
