Viratas Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 What are some that you think you will remember for a long time? Three that I have stuck in my head are: Bart Chelsvig vs. Kevin Randlemann Big 10 Finals 1992 I believe. It was a good old fashion brawl. Even Russ and Gable nearly went to blows. The same year Tom Brands vs. Joey Gilbert. The final score was 23-15 or something close to it. You are missing out if you have never seen Gilbert shoot a single from the other side of the mat. The Durso Run at nationals was a hell of a fun ride! (Lesser known, but fun none the less) 1 That’s to keep your whining ass shut. You want off this ranch, you got it. I’ll drive your ass to the train station myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchapman Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Iowa State vs Wisconsin Nov. 29, 1998 I got look at Joe Heskett and Cael Sanderson very early in their college careers. Heskett cradled up Pritzlaff and stuck him. I was in shock. Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Lesser known, but fun none the less) Gilbert vs Brands was 33-19, and the Big Ten Final was controversial....sure looked like Gilbert had Brands pinned (half nelson). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 One of my more memorable ones, in person, was Brent Metcalf VS Dustin Schlatter at the Medina Holiday Invite their respective senior scholastic seasons: As an avid Davison follower and supporter in the Roy Hall from the late 1990s on, there was a certain aura of invincibility around Brent heading in to his senior season. Many people intimate to the scene believed that he was the best 145lber (ever) but would be not just a contender for a title at the D1 level, but a favorite to win. When Schlatter took it to him at his own game (Metcalf won in rideouts), folks started to understand a little bit that we were entering a new era of middle weight depth. People absolutely believed that Metcalf was the truth AND that we had 'other' truths in the chamber. Everyone who left after seeing that match had not just a high respect but a complete belief that what they saw was special. 3 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Energy Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Nickerson vs Long - Nickerson coming back from injury - puts a smack down on Long Burroughs vs Leen - loved Leen’s fire and effort. Burroughs - wow. Dake vs Taylor - all star and finals. Finals - Dake was so damn technical, smooth, and strong. Out smoothed and out technicaled a guy who I am still in awe of. Garrett vs Delgado - Delgado’s defense, dive roll - arghhh!! Snyder vs Gwiz - Epic!!! Nickal vs Martin (second finals) - Bo to his back!! Correcton!! Martin to HIS back!! Nickal vs Dean - great match. Sad finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadzaev2 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 For me a couple off the top of my head and not in any order..... Gable pinning Ashrulaev in one of the first USA vs. Russia duals ever .....McGaw Hall (70 or 71) Schultz vs Banach....NCAA finals 1982 15-8 Schultz Mills vs Gonzales Mills 16-13 1979 Dake's 4 finals matches Jimmy Haines vs Mike McArthur 1977 Haines winner (Haines was a takedown machine...so was Joe Gonzales) Randy Lewis vs Jim Gibbons Midlands......Lewis won this one and during their next encounter in the dual, Lewis dislocated his elbow and had to battle back through Big Tens and NCAA's to even AA after 3 finals appearances 2-1-1-7 John Fisher TF Olympic Silver medalist Barry Davis at Midlands, and Fisher was a freshman....1984 Jimmy Carr and Carey Kolat competing very well as high school students at Midlands. Although they were really a wt. class apart and Sergei had not been training.....Belaglozov vs. Smith (maybe a $10,000 match) Grand World Wrestling Championships Pittsburgh....FADZAEV vs. Carr in the same event. The Randy Lewis vs Darryl Burley matches. I'll stop there ....there are so many!!! Been to many NCAA's, Midlands, World Cups, Big Tens and more over maybe a 52 year span.

KCMO2 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Not to re-kindle old arguments, but Waters vs Gilman at National Duals had a bit of everything. Good wrestling, Gilman illegally slamming Waters and Waters getting penalized for it (!!!!), Gilman trying to attack Waters legs well after the whistle, Waters intentionally running into the Hawkeye blocking his path after he won the match. Maybe not an instant classic, but definitely a memorable match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is in my library. Yep ....that belongs on my list as well.....McIlravy came out of red shirt right before Big Ten's and moved one of the Steiner's to strengthen the Hawkeye lineup. Super match....Lincoln got Abas tired and turned it up in the third period to come from behind to win 16-15...barn burner....good call.

No, but we were near the lower railing and he went down to the railing to talk to Lincoln (maybe to go over the railing) and the usher gave him a hard while knowledgeable spectators were telling usher (who was clueless right in Hawkeye Carver Arena), to let him go.
