I remember this as well! Two Fricks and one Frack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackwebster Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Gotta go with Smith's calendar year + 1 month from July 86's Goodwill Games to 87 Worlds. Starts with a win over Isaev, torches Sanchez with a chest wrap in the NCAA final, throws Alexeev on his head with a Metzger* in a dual, and ends with another win over Isaev. *when John Smith is so much better than you that he goes upper body, you're in some serious trouble.

Fadzaev2 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 19 hours ago, jdalu75 said: Mike Frick in 1976. Defending NCAA champ at 134, missed the fall semester due to academics. Weighing 144, beat Mark Churella at 150 at Midlands, lost by a point to Pete Galea in the finals. At 142 drew with Brad Smith in the Iowa dual, then beat Smith in the All-Star meet. At 150, beat 1975 NCAA 142-lb champ Jim Bennett in the Yale dual. In the NCAA finals at 134 he fell behind 2x champion Pat Milkovich 3-0, then won 7-4. Brad Smith was the 142-pound champion. The top 4 at 150 were Chuck Yagla, Galea, Churella, and Bennett. Finished the season with a 19-0-2 record. I may be just a little bit biased. Really good, but not even close to these top guys.

So many greats here. So many insanely great wrestling years. Why try to reduce it to a simpleton "Batman vs Superman" type argument? That's just dumb. ALL of these guys are incredibly impressive. The best part is reading through the list of the greats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
