In wrestling, the championships started with 21 undefeated wrestlers and finished with 13.  Jason shares stories of one wrestler being disqualified, another overcoming the loss of a brother to win a championship and the great sight of sportsmanship shown by competitors and fans.  Plus, what exactly happened with the fire inside Mizzou Arena?
