I went to his camp at Cornell U in summer 1989.

I love Jay Jackson, had him as a history teacher in highschool. Greatest dude ever

He was the perfect hire for Buffalo and he will be missed by the Big Red

Ruth is lucky he wrestled that putz Cael and not me!

Saitiev was amazing. I had the good fortune to be among the NYAC wrestlers assigned to serve as a finals escort at the 2003 world championships in NYC - I was assigned to Saitiev for freestyle and Eldar Kurtanidze from Georgia for Greco. Both won their finals match. It was my first time seeing the superstar Cael Sanderson in person but I felt absolutely star struck seeing Saitiev. He was quite tall and lanky for the 163lb weight class. He had suffered a facial injury earlier in the tourney and his face was swollen badly for the finals. He was still jovial and nice (despite the pain to his face) as he waited his turn to take the mat. That era of wrestling was something else. Would’ve been great to see him against JB at their peak. Not saying JB would win but if Slay’s double leg gave Saitiev problems, JB might have a chance to keep it close.

Great Video About Zain I Had The Privilege Of Getting to Watch Him Wrestle At D-4 Williamsport All 4 Years And Than Going To Hershey For States More or Less His High School Career It Was Awesome It Was Poetry In Motion I Wish You Much Luck With Wrestling In The Future Go Bring Home That Olympic Gold We Will Be Cheering For You And The Rest Of Americans Best of Luck In Life We Are Penn State ✌️

im glad there are places where men want to be tough. i grew up in ireland and we just fought a lot on the streets. no discipline or technique. it just came natural. we didnt think we were hard me. we just want to assert dominace and not allow ppl to push us around. really, i wish we had wrestling in school there.

Awesome

This is the best podcast I’ve ever listened to

I knew Kendall cross wrestling in grade school I was from Lawton he was from Mustang we know about as flexibility back then

Is mexican?

i so wanted to see dteve vs gerdes for both to die so young is tragic

stevie threw cradles from every angle you shouldn't funny nice and outgoing kid

steve williams is still the best wrestler i ever saw was in his weight class he pinned ricky harris in 20 seconds to eliminate me pinned people so fast all day even in college nationals

Did he do the same with Brooks?

If it wasn’t for Slay, Saitiev would have 3 Olympic golds. It was just Brandons time!

Good comparison between Saitiev and John Smith! My two favorite freestylers of all time.

Why don’t you guys do podcasts on great coaches not just athletes

He hired me a drifter from nowhere

But anyways the best high school coach that ever walked the mat was Rick iverson of marysville wa not just technical skills but he just had a special way to him he is still coaching girls wrestling

But anyways in a cafe the waitress in a small town told Kenny right to his face that I don’t serve n word here and Kenny did not say a thing I was in shock but when the coach from Everett told her that she had just called a Olympic champion a nig she turned another color seriously Kenny did not say a thing later he told me he did not remember the incident

I am sure Shultz went to far with his moves that were just plain not quite legal I don’t think I would of liked him

I met Kenny in Seattle wa at marysville wa with one of the best high school coaches ever Rick iverson I grabbed his leg he thought I was nuts cool dude

Being a Penn State fan, he really imo beat Jason Nolf.

Great wrestler

Very cool, calm an and collected and never seems to "lose it", like so many other coaches do.

Gordy was the first coach of the NMU program, which started in 1999, from what I remember.

Why does this not have more views??!

Abas was a takedown artist was amazing to watch and abas’s style is what we need more of in the sport of wrestling he made it exciting

Wow, I can't stop listening to these. I went to a John Smith camp in Hays, KS in 1992. I so bad wanted a pair of his new Brute shoes, but I had spent most of the money my Dad gave me. John gave me the shoes, and told me to just have my Dad mail him a check.

Outstanding- both the content and the individuals.

Saw him make Bennett from hunterdon central look like a little kid in the state finals. He pulled a spin around in the semis that I still tell people about to this day. Saw him cradle a guy while in neutral. Hahn was a sight to see back then.

I think Stephen is underrated when we talk about great American wrestlers. His ability to take opponents down was elite level as was his explosiveness.

Wrestled at multiple tournaments with him in high school and I immediately knew I was watching something special. He was nothing short of an artist on his feet.

Abdulrashid, his family, friends and the people of Russia and Dagestan were just fantastic hosts. I watched as much video as possible on this trip and it was just awesome

Zain is one amazing wrestler, his relentless on the mat was insane, he is one of the best overall wrestlers I've ever seen, he's there to wrestle he doesn't back up he doesn't stop wrestling after he's up by 1 point he is what every wrestler should strive to be like on the mat,.mind u I was a Iowa fan and could not stand him because he was always putting a butt whopping on iowa wrestlers but at the end of the day he's awesome

“Ohhh so this is my coach” Imagine having that reaction to being coached by the GOAT 😂

He is worse than Tony Romo, he rambles on and on and on SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Honestly, Norman was better.

The reason PSU is so good is because their wrestlers’ toughest matches are against their coaches 😂

Tinley Park Bulldogs we’re good when I was a kid. I remember Kyle O’Neil and Eric Novak.

Love the room

coach pero had the stick to lock the doors her use that on us all the time

its messed up what they did to jason pero too

i recently watched the 92 state team tournament hoping to see stevie and joe and they forfeited against steve i was like awe but then saw his juck national tournament hes still the best i ever saw

funny the story about the two time state champ not wanting to wrestle you matches my story from earlier comment its not that we were scared lose its losing to a kid 50 lbs lighter who was it jadon beaver

the reason th thought he wasnt good enough was probably because if joe and steve and terry dantzler all jn his family all klder and great

cc hills in da house

those heaters were there to melt us not make us warm coach pero ran iowa style practices which were same as twisters and mt carmel

hey tj great carreer im the white kid from rich central i was stevies wdught vlass and vlndidered him my friend and the best wrestler i ever saw wrestle. you and joe werent bad either but stevie wax quick string and busted cradles from crazy angles and ended matches vs top guys quick 30 seconds or less i remember going to work with the twisters with a few of my teammates and Jason pero my sr year to get ready in off season and you were 7th grade i think probably 75 lbs or so maybe a bit more and i wrestled 135 in high school and was ranked in top 10 at times i was getting thrown around a bit by stevie terry dantzler and someone from mt carmel they were trying to convince md to roll with tj who at that point wasnt kmown much beyond twisters but new steve and Joe and even yhen j was like na i don't mind challenging state champs and rolling and getting tips from them but if i got thrown around by a 7th grader gjving up 50 lbs wouldnt be good for my ego . stull curious how ut would have gone but nope terry and steve and them didn't let me forget that all yearfor as good as they were they were coolguys snd dtevie was very funny. it was very sad to hear what happened to him and several others from that era in the 130 140 range gerdes stevie hruska mirabella and several others died way to young abd you should be very proud to have a big bro like him to look up to im sure hes still rolling around in the clouds
