College Wrestling Champ Hilariously Credits His Mullet in Postmatch Interview

University of Iowa wrestler Sammy Brooks won a Big 10 Conference title over the weekend in the 184-pound division. The junior gave an interview to the Big 10 Network afterward, and he pretty much had only one thing on his mind — his hair.

“I just think these fans respond really well to a good haircut. So that’s what I was working on coming in here, making sure I had it fluffed and feathered the right way. And I think the fans saw my hard work,” Brooks said, completely straight-faced.

Much like the biblical figure Samson, Brooks truly believes that he derives his power from his hair — well, sort of. “Yeah, it’s something I gain trust in every time my hair grows a little more and little more, and I trust in myself and my mullet,” Brooks stated, again without cracking a smile. “So it’s a process. You can’t grow a great mullet in a day; you can’t win a Big 10 title in a day.”
