LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- Two brothers from the Cleveland area have grappled with lions and tigers and bears to help hone the skills that are now taking them to the state wrestling tournament.

Lance and Collin Palmer go to St. Edward High School in Lakewood. They were exposed to the big cats and bears while growing up near an animal rescue center operated by their dad, a federally licensed animal trainer.

Senior Lance Palmer is a 140-pounder who said bears have "ridiculous" strength and are most fun to wrestle with. He enters the Division I state tournament Wednesday with a 146-6 high school record.

Brother Collin is a 112-pound freshman who is 36-1 this season. He prefers grappling with young lions and tigers

There is something just deeply wrong with that. Where are you finding this stuff ET?
No, don't tell me!

Well I wonder how these animals felt about having these puny little creatures wrestling with them.

How about a Gorilla, or maybe a sasquatch? (Gotta find one first) LOL

I bet they learned some "unnatural" moves by fighting with the animals, at least abnormal to what the normal westler would know. Not to mention some degree in increased strength.

riiight...so when one of his kid's arm or leg goes missing...

Maybe someone should ask that Las Vegas magician to go visit and talk with them.

right on...

Not that unheard of . . . .

Steer Wrestling comes to mind.
