He is THE reason I wrestled. First tryout had 167 kids. By the end of tryouts, done to 43. You had to be a bad ass mentally to be a successful grappler.
This is great, but I know the original network video exists, and it was shown in color. UWW could definitely get its hands on the color footage of all the 72' matches with a little effort.
The Gable grip is a universal grip, all nations use it and do it, we here in the US coined it a Gable grip for 2 obvious reasons, 1 DG's popularity &two the fact that his last name starts with a G, &Gable grip name makes and sounds easy to use when teaching technique.

To add insult to injury, dude had a bitch of a time staying on weight
