“Take you down” could be great anthem for wrestling

The Last Ride Band melded blue collar lyrics with one of the most blue-collar athletes and programs associated with hard work to produce an inspiring video called, "Take you down." The video includes a lot of footage of former University of Iowa two-time NCAA champion and four-time All-American wrestler Mark Ironside, who was a two-time state champion at Cedar Rapids Jefferson (A school long associated with the blue-collar section of Cedar Rapids). Lead singer Tony Winkler is also a 1993 Jefferson graduate.

The song can be considered a tribute to the many industrial workers who have been a key part of Cedar Rapids tradition. Both Winkler's and Ironside's fathers were factory workers.

The video also includes footage of Hawkeyes head coach Tom Brands and wrestling legend and former Hawkeye Coach Dan Gable. Two enormous symbols of hard work and toughness.

Take a look and enjoy.
