Eagle26 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Bajrang has always been one of my favorite non-American wrestlers, and he just became even more of a favorite. It’s great to see one of the most popular male wrestlers in the country standing up for the female wrestlers. I hope it helps the situation and justice is served. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
