Summary

This week Mike Vecchione takes a seat in The Wayback! (Worst Kind of Thoughtful on YouTube, Mike Vecchione Investigates podcast). It's Olympic season ya'll, and in this episode, Ryan and Mike get nostalgic about wrestling.  They talk about wrestling trips, the brutally demanding wrestling season, and the calamitous and often hilarious effects of weight-cutting.  Mike also talks about the differences between growing up in both Florida and Ohio, and then gives us the spectrum of his high school and collegiate wresting career; from the thrill of victory in the state tournament, to the humiliating agony of puking on an opponent!
