Wrestling is the world's oldest sport. In Arkansas, it's the newest.
Follow the University of Arkansas at Little Rock as it starts up a brand new sport in a place that hasn't seen major college wrestling in half a century. Rocked up follows the fledgling wrestling program as it begins from scratch with a start date of November 2019.
Produced by the Mat Talk Podcast Network.

What came first, the chicken or the egg?
On the second episode of Rocked Up, we'll meet Little Rock radio
personality and former Arkansas football player David Bazzel. He'll
introduce us to how Greg Hatcher, an insurance man in Little Rock,
talked him into pitching a press conference to try to introduce
wrestling to the state's high schools.
Hatcher will further explain the process in going from idea to
sanctioned high school state activity and Hatcher's overall impact
in the process, including how it wasn't exactly what people might
believe financially. We'll meet Carter Lambert of Central Arkansas
Christian, legendary wrestling announcer Sandy Stevens as well as
catch back up with Bentonville's Bill Desler and Don Schuler.
Rocked Up is a presentation of the Mat Talk Podcast Network and can
be found on the web at GetRockedUp.com or at MatTalkOnline.com.
