Rebecca Rauber, wrestling manager, on five things a rookie wrestling fan needs to know:

1. Pin: The goal of wrestling is to get the opponent on their back. If the Carroll wrestler is on top, then yell happy cheers such as “Stick him!” If the Carroll guy is on bottom, then yell something like “Get off your back!”
2. Singlet: That outfit most people call an onesie is actually called a singlet. A leotard is also not an acceptable name because they are wrestlers not ballerinas.
3. It’s harder than it looks: Even though a six-minute match with breaks every two minutes may seem like a cakewalk, the wrestlers are in a constant power struggle mentally and physically for every second of the match. So before you yell “Come on dude just stand up,” remember that the wrestler is probably way more fit than you.
4. I promise we feed them…sometimes: The wrestlers have to make weight the morning before each competition. The emphasis is more on eating healthy portions but a midnight run to Taco Bell is not a good idea.
5. They can’t hear you: No matter how loud you yell, the wrestlers cannot hear you. Those earmuff looking things called headgear block out pretty much all noise so yell for your own entertainment as a spectator
