The retired Greco-Roman wrestler was in studio to talk to sports anchor Susie Wargin about life after wrestling and his new book “Never Stop Pushing”. However, business reporter Gregg Moss (who must have read the book) asked Rulon if he could stick around after the interview and lift some concrete picture frames for his gadgets segment. Being the polite Wyoming farm boy that he is, Rulon obliged.
Whether he was penning his book, giving motivational speeches or endorsing one of his many clients, Rulon has stayed plenty busy since he left his shoes on the mat at the Summer Games in Athens.
No matter how hectic life gets, though, he never forgets his roots and life building experiences. In 2002, Rulon was stranded in below freezing temperatures after a snowmobile accident and spent the night trying to survive. He did, but the severe frostbite he suffered on his feet resulted in the loss of one toe. Rulon details his night of survival along with the rest of his feats in life in his new book.
Rulon will be signing “Never Stop Pushing “at two locations on Wednesday. He’ll be at the ESPN Zone on the 16th Street Mall from 1-2 p.m. He will then make his way to Colorado Springs for a signing at the Olympic Training Center Store from 5-7 p.m. His book is $20 and $5 of that goes to Hurricane Relief. For more information on how to buy the book if you can’t attend a signing, go to Rulon’s web page at www.rulongardner.com.
