ok we had a post like this one last year heres the ones i have found.
vision quest. reversal. one more shot. veritas. 7 minutes. takedown.
now is there more you older gentelmen think think are there other movies out there. (you noticed i said older gents and not old guys) no matter how temting it was. so are there others out there.
a couple of weeks ago i watched reversal with little nix, he said oh that poor kid can't eat first thing came to my mind was, you should not worry about that poor kid and worry more about poor little nix because your 2 pounds over. i just smiled next morning he was back on weight. and yes he ate. 3 days later
more movies please.

I had to DVR the Streak. Keep your eyes open, it usually comes on ESPN 2 around this time of year. Great documentary. My kid has watched it about 50 times. I am at about 25!

I could only find one addition to the original list. Carter 145. (New Independent film) Do not know if it is any good but it is actual wrestling based. Sounds good with some serious scale cheating. Going To The Mat (Disney) not great wrestling but it is folkstyle.

heres 3 more i have found but have been unable to buy yet but sooner or later they will be added to the collection i hope, i have a few friends helping locate them i did buy hadleys rebelliom vhs i will convert to dvd is someone would like a copy. here they are.
HADLEYS REBELLION
Hadley Hickman (Griffin O'Neal), a bucolic teenager from the Rural South, moves with his family to Southern California. Enrolled in a snobbish prep school, Hadley is victimized and ostracized by his too-cool classmates. To prove his worth, our hero takes up wrestling, and before long he's the school champ, thanks to the input of coach Ball (William Devane), a washed-up alcoholic who finds redemption through Hadley's example. Yes, it's Rocky Goes to Prep School. Shallow and predictable, the film's sole redeeming factor is the warm rapport between stars Griffin O'Neal and William Devane. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
SPOONER.
Spooner stars Robert Urich as a forger, recently escaped from prison. Urich cooks up a phony resume and assumes the identity of a high-school teacher. He becomes the wrestling coach for a group of misfit kids with the lowest of low self esteem. In urging the kids not to give up, Urich's eyes are opened to the possibility of his turning his own life around. Jane Kaczmarek and Brent Fraser costar in Spooner, which premiered over the Disney Channel cable service on December 2, 1989. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
THE GLADIATOR
The most successful of Joe E. Brown's post-Warner Bros. efforts, The Gladiator finds cavern-mouthed Brown winning a cash prize at a movie theatre, then using his windfall to attend college. The son of a legendary athlete, clumsy Brown is unable to live up to his dad's reputation. Genially batty scientist Lucien Littlefield injects Brown with a strength serum that turns Our Hero into a star football player. When he balks at joining the team, the coach sends pretty June Travis, the girlfriend of campus jock Robert Kent, to flatter Brown into suiting up. At first considering Brown a twerp, Travis grows to genuinely love him, especially after he is publicly humiliated by Kent. The climax finds Brown wrestling against Man Mountain Dean, with virtually everyone at the college betting their bankroll on Brown. Trouble is, the serum begins to wear off at the most inopportune moment. Despite his milquetoast characterization, Joe E. Brown was in fact a champion-level athlete; he used no doubles in the wrestling scenes, and as a result landed in the hospital with a double hernia. The Gladiator is a lighthearted adaptation of the satirical novel by Philip Wylie, which was reportedly also the inspiration for the Superman comic strip. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
NOT FOR SURE OF THE LAST ONE.

heres another one for 2011 called win win
explores the allegiances and bonds between unlikely characters with a lighter touch in his new film. Struggling attorney Mike Flaherty (Paul Giamatti), who moonlights as a high school wrestling coach, becomes legal guardian of an elderly client in an attempt to help keep his practice afloat. When the client’s teenage grandson runs away from home and shows up on his grandfather’s doorstep, Mike’s family life and his wrestling team are turned upside down. Mike’s win-win proposition turns into something much more complicated than he ever bargained for. McCarthy’s deft touch balancing drama
