The Hard Rock Seminole Indian Casino in South Floridais holding a Gator wrestling championship, the first of it’s kind in decades. Now I don’t fancy myself a gator rassler, but I have been known to catch a gator or two in my day (granted they were no more than a foot long, and they usually grabbed my jigger bait).
It’s a Seminole Indian tradition that was passed to the Florida Crackers (see above…and yes, that’s the actual term for the settlers of Florida) in the late 1800s.
True story, Orlando was once home to a guy who was considered the greatest gator rassler ever. Unfortunately his name is not known, but he’s bronzed outside the Orange County history center in BEAUTIFUL downtown Orlando.
As for this contest. First prize was $3,000. No word on whether the Brady kids participated.

Trey came up with the idea when he was rasslin’ with his masseuse Fiesta Trio(Quote)
I saw an episode or Wreckreation Nation where the host was doing some gator rasslin’ training out in Colorado (yes, Colorado…long story) and a girl in his class got chomped. Gator grabbed her on the side of the face and about 6 guys had to jump in and pry his mouth open to get her cheek out of his mouth. Unbelievable. Stitched her up and she went back in & finished the class. knightro(Quote)
