Wrestlers in Minnesota are not only saddled with the idea that they live in the coldest place on Earth, and are high school wrestlers, but now they have a widespread herpes outbreak to deal with, as well.
The state of Minnesota has suspended all wrestling-related activity due to an outbreak of herpes gladiatorum, which is caused by skin-to-skin contact, and has been reported on at least 10 high-school wrestling teams in the state.
This would have made an excellent subplot to Vision Quest, don't you think? If Loudon Swain and Brian Shute had both had herpes, and then had to quarantine themselves in the locker room and learn a little about each other? Would have been even more a classic. Cue the John Waite music.
