Maybe FLO or Intermat or USA Wrestling should hire this fellow. Great work.....I vote for you, but only if you eliminate the term "pinfall"......can't it just be pins or falls???? Just image Sandy Stevens, Ed Alverti, Jason Bryant and more saying "winner by pinfall". And I can't imagine Ed Alverti saying "potential pinfall down on mat number 3!"

Go back further and watch Danny Gable in his final match. A "sure thing" for 3 time undefeated champ... You aren't the champ until you win the final match. ------------------- You win by pin or fall. "pinfall" is the girly man description and an abomination. Edited April 25 by AgaveMaria ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.

Now that is some girly girl stuff. let's stop the misogyny and don't feed the trolls On a more substantive point, Dick DiBatista deserves mention. Never lost a match in high school, college, or freestyle (137-0). 2x champ because frosh could not compete and WWII cancelled NCAA's. Also played college football. Long-time referee and one of the most gracious ambassadors for the sport. https://www.eiwawrestling.org/HOF/Hall_of_Fame/dibatista-dick?view=bio Edited April 25 by Elevator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elevator Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 A story about Dick DiBatista. One of his NCAA titles came against a wrestler who was a heavy favorite and years older (I believe had come back from WWII). Might have been an AAU champ back when that was a big credential. He took the loss badly and came into the locker room looking for a fight. Dick was in the shower and a peace-loving man. No fight occurred. Not sure if there was a rematch - but Dick was undefeated.
