Anyone have any info on this guy. Said he was an all american. Ears are all shot to shit. From Iowa and said he grew up there so I assume feces he wrestled there as well.
Yeah, he was a good wrestler, he just ate alot, drank beer, n got fat. He lost like 150 pds. Looks good
He should join MFS.
He did a great job losing that much weight - I watched the finale with my wife, very inspiring!
did the same thing Matt...most impressive (this coming from a skinny guy!)
ttt
Someone on this forum was on his college wrestling team. Not sure who, but I remember him replying on a previous thread. Too much abuse in the past, too little training and too many concussions to be a fighter for those who said he should be one. (Not sure it those were serious responses or not.) He did a good job losing weight though. He seems like a very nice guy, only he crys way too much.
buddie
I wonder if he sucked weight for the finale? His tough guy act
combined with his constant crying bugged me.
He got a concusion in wrestling again for when he wanted to do it again because of the show and supposedly a doctor told him he can't do anymore contact sports so MMA is out of the question IMHO.
They actually all sucked weight each week for weigh-ins. Seems like Matt had some problems other than just weight contributing to his emotions.
Matt Hoover wrestled for Belle Plaine High School. He was a phenominal wrestler and then was a was a walk on at Iowa with a bright future before throwing it all away. I used to live in that town and he is veyr well known. He graduated a year before my wife and she saw him at a party when he was 300+ and had no idea who the fuck he was because he was so fat. Talked to a buddy Jeremy that still lives near there and said that Matty was in the wrestling room training like a fucking madman and cutting weight superfast. Looks like a completely different guy now
I was amazed at how much weight they ALL lost. I had a feeling Matt was going to win though. He seemed super competitive.
Hoover was a 2X State Champion, A Junior World team member and wrestled for the University of Iowa where the was a member of four NCAA Championship teams.
"Look daddy that man has flames on his tummy"
lol.
he needs to take that 75k runner up money and get that shit fixed.
This cocksucker is also an assistant coach at Cornell College a D3 school in Iowa. Coach Pariano will add Matt Hoover to the staff to help the upper-weight wrestlers. Hoover was a 2X State Champion, A Junior World team member and wrestled for the University of Iowa where the was a member of four NCAA Championship teams.
I have a feeling that he is going to be the new stud in his little town as well.
Initial Body Fat Percentage: 40.00%
Final Body Fat Percentage: 2.80%
No your not missing something. It was just pretty cool because a former standout wrestler got fat, than lost a bunch of weight.
It was inspirational story
the guy lost 150+ pounds in 8 months... went from having trouble walking stairs to wrestling... turned his life completely around... i figure he has a right to be emotional about it.
My parents watch that show. I sat and tried to watch his section but once the tears came and all the flashes of black and white started up I was reminded why I hate TV. Nothing against him or his story, its great, I just hate the editing on shows like this.
