Do we know exactly what rule Arnold broke? back when Gable was coach, many guys broke rules. It was just kept quiet much better.

There are just as many or more assholes playing basketball and football than wrestlers. Wrestling does not own bad guys at all. i have spent time with the Brands brothers away from the mat. Both are really nice guys and honest. Are they driven? Yes, especially when they compete.

All star match and midlands matches do not count on record.

How can Eddy and Lou not be on the list? Eddy almost the first 4 time champ. Only loss was to a 3 time champ and Olympic gold medalist. Louie was probably the all time best heavyweight wrestler in NCAA history, losing only one NCAA match in three years(was sick for that match). Both won...

GG needs a good course of steroids before the Big Tens.

I am too old to wrestle for the hawks.

The band is the most dangerous of all. Some of those tuba players can be downright mean.
