I have served as the assistant to the director of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum since 2019. I am responsible for social media and event planning while also being in charge of the daily operations of the museum and merchandise. I created “Girl Talk at the Dan Gable Museum,” a series of videos/podcast interviewing wives of wrestling coaches. I grew up around wrestling as my father wrestled and coached and my uncles wrestled at Georgia Tech. My brother was a two-time Georgia state high school champion and an All-American at Emmanuel College. My father wouldn’t let me wrestle because there wasn’t a girls wrestling program, but I was a mat maid in high school. My husband, Lee, is the head assistant coach for the University of Northern Iowa wrestling team. Music Credit: Shaolin Dub - Back Turn

Longtime wrestling coach, President of the Connecticut Chapter of National Wrestling Hall of Fame and all around Mr. Wrestling for the state of Connecticut Ted Oczkowski joins the show to talk about the decision to not have wrestling this year.
The wrestling world lost Danny Hodge on Christmas Eve. The only wrestler to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated for his wrestling credentials, Hodge was a standout in three varieties of the sporting world - collegiate and international wrestling, boxing and professional wrestling. As Hodge became one of the favorites in the world of professional wrestling, he worked and trained with hundreds of would-be superstars, including Robert Remus, an Eden Prairie, Minnesota native who would later become one of the most iconic superstars in the business, Sgt. Slaughter. After Hodge’s passing, Sarge wrote a letter to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame recalling his memories of Danny Hodge. On Episode 642 of Short Time, you hear him in his own words - part Remus, part Slaughter. All that news and more … Daily Wrestling News, delivered every day, free.

The wrestling world lost Danny Hodge on Christmas Eve. The only wrestler to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated for his wrestling credentials, Hodge was a standout in three varieties of the sporting world - collegiate and international wrestling, boxing and professional wrestling. As Hodge became one of the favorites in the world of professional wrestling, he worked and trained with hundreds of would-be superstars, including Robert Remus, an Eden Prairie, Minnesota native who would later become one of the most iconic superstars in the business, Sgt. Slaughter. After Hodge’s passing, Sarge wrote a letter to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame recalling his memories of Danny Hodge.

How did wrestling change your life? That’s exactly the question Ryan Warner wants to know and that’s exactly the theme of his podcast, Wrestling Changed My Life. Warner, an Illinois native, started up the podcast a couple years ago and has been prolific with his interviews and his conversational style of podcast. Digging into greats, documentary series on his own and with the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, Wrestling Changed My Life has been a fan favorite and it’s only getting better. Check it out at wrestlinghcangedmylife.com. LEADING OFF There is wrestling. This is more than likely a test of how much of a wrestling fan you’re going to make yourself. There is limited action around the country, but the men and women in the NAIA are competing. The NAIA released its first Women’s Coaches Poll of the season on Monday and Wayland Baptist comes in No. 1, ahead of Campbellsville, Grand View, Menlo and Life. Wayland just recently lost its head coach as Aaron Meister left to go back to his native Kansas to start the men’s and women’s program at Friends University in Wichita. Speaking of Life, coach Ashley Sword’s team was in action over the weekend and topped Indiana Tech and the University of the Cumberlands. Indiana Tech was wrestling its first ever women’s dual matches in school history. Life won 39-5 while the University of the Cumberlands edged Indiana tech 25-23. Life beat Brewton-Parker 42-4 on Monday night as well. On the men’s side of things, third-ranked Reinhardt opened up 2-0 after a trip to Florida, beating Keiser 55-0 and fifth-ranked Southeastern 24-19. Southeastern beat Keiser 49-6. Coleman Bryant of Southeastern knocked off Cole Tenety 3-1 in sudden victory at 174 pounds in a matchup of returning All-Americans. Former Indiana Hooser Blake Rypel has resurfaced on the college mats, he’s at Southeastern. He won his debut by fall at 184 for the Fire. Reinhardt did pick up powerful bonus victories from returning All-Americans Trent Leon, Nolan Saxton and Antonio Stewart to power coach Jeff Bedard’s Eagles. In other action on Monday, Brewton-Parker College beat Central Baptist (Ark.) 53-3, while St. Andrews beat the Central Baptist 42-15. No official score from St. Andrews and Brewton-Parker, but I’m told it was 43-9 in favor of Brewton-Parker. Not the first time I’ve had to chase down the opposing team looking for a score from a wrestling event held at BPC, but I digress. Here’s what went down since the last time I gave a scoreboard update: Jamestown (N.D.) beat Northwestern (Iowa) 24-22. Arizona Christian beat Hastings 28-15 No. 7 Indiana Tech beat Thomas More 26-21 No. 4 Lindsey Wilson got a pair of big W’s, shutting out Missouri Baptist 55-0 and beating Williams Baptist 46-3. Williams Baptist beat Missouri Baptist 42-12 in the other dual there. Earlier in the week, Benedictine (Kan.) beat Central Methodist 27-18, while Ottawa (Kan.) beat Oklahoma Wesleyan 43-12. New coaching alert in Division II where Ohio State alum Colt Sponseller is now the new head coach at Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio. Josh Hutchens stepped down back in September. … while NCAA qualifier Michael Blockhus will land at Minnesota after announcing he was leaving Northern Iowa a few days ago.

Pat Christenson has spent the last 19 years as the President of Las Vegas Events, which has helped bring major sporting events and such to Las Vegas. He’s been a key person behind the bid process for the NCAA championships for Las Vegas in all sports. He was also instrumental in the 2008 Olympic Trials and 2015 World Championships coming to Las Vegas. As a wrestler, Christenson won the 1976 NCAA Division I championship at 167 pounds as an unseeded senior for the University of Wisconsin. He’s got long relationships in the sport and he’s using that to springboard a new podcast series supported by the the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and USA Wrestling called Etched in Stone, a podcast that’s aimed at telling compelling and interesting stories about the 179 Distinguished Members of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. That podcast launches on November 17. Christenson talks about the project and the idea behind it, who’s involved and why Mark Churella is the lead-off series in the first season. Listen to Etched in Stone on your favorite podcatcher starting November 17. LEADING OFF What you know already is USA Wrestling held the U23 and UWW Junior Nationals in Omaha this past weekend. All the results are on FloArena, all the recaps you can find on TheMat.com or via my daily wrestling newsletter at mattalkonline.com/news. Jordan Burroughs beat Zahid Valencia, highlighting a seven-bout card on Flowrestling on Saturday. Word already circulating that David Taylor and Mr. Burroughs will meet at some point in December. Again, those results on Flo. WHAT YOU DON’T KNOWCollege wrestling is actually going on some places around the country. Adrian College hosted an invitational over the weekend, which it won. It also hosted a women’s open. Host Adrian won the men’s invitational and had three champs, while Indiana Tech had three and Thomas More two. On the women’s side, Adrian and Indiana Tech had four champs each with UW-Stevens Point also picking up one gold. The Citadel became the first Division I school to take to the mats this season, beating St. Thomas of Florida 54-0 in their opener. The Bobcats are a first-year NAIA program in Miami Gardens, Florida. Other scores over the weekend saw Concordia (Neb.) beat Dakota Wesleyan 34-6 and Brewton-Parker edge first-year Montreat 25-21. Those both in the NAIA. For the college scores, I’d recommend you go to trackwrestling.com and click “Seasons” and click the appropriate year and division of your choice for quick access to the matches we do have this season. That isn’t a complete list, but guess what, since we’ve got this section at the beginning of the show, that’ll be where Short Time Shots kinda sits ahead of these interviews, so you get your news here, your reviews here, your previews and interviews on the back half!
