Jones: Anthony Robles Movie Will ‘Change How People Look At Wrestling’

Arizona State wrestling coach Zeke Jones thinks the movie ‘Unstoppable’ will be a game-changer for wrestling.
Arizona State coach Zeke Jones answered the phone Tuesday while shuffling papers, returning text messages, planning practices and reviewing movies. 
Wait…what?
Wrestlers and wrestling fans worldwide know Anthony Robles as the Arizona State wrestler who was born with one leg and still won a 125-pound NCAA title in 2011. He wrote a book in 2012 titled “From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion.” From that book, the movie “Unstoppable” will be released in theaters and on Amazon Prime in mid-January.
The advanced movie screening will be shown Thursday night in Mesa, Arizona, as part of a red-carpet, fund-raising reception and Jones is nothing short of thrilled. “That movie is going to do more for wrestling than probably any wrestler is going to do for wrestling this year,” Jones said. “We are going to go worldwide, in every country in the world, and share the message of wrestling — that anyone can wrestle, that anyone can do it … that life is a struggle, but wrestling teaches us how to manage the life struggles and how to become all the things we want to be in life.”
Proceeds from the event will benefit ASU’s NIL Collective and the Robles Unstoppable Foundation, which is dedicated to assisting high school student-athletes who need guidance and financial support to pursue higher education.
