Might be tough since they probably can’t travel there, but I’m sure someone could put together some interesting stuff. I find it fascinating how wrestling is so ingrained in their culture!

I find it fascinating how wrestling is so ingrained in their culture! A good friend of mine, who is fluent in Russian, traveled recently to Dagestan, where few Americans or tourists go. He was asked by Flo to take footage of Dagestani wrestlers and interview wrestlers and coaches. He did that. Flo never paid him and has not yet used his footage.

I believe it was Hrovat who said "If a guy has a beard but no moustache, he is from Dagestan." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
