Trivia question based off the missed weight thread.

Name the wrestler who was a National Champ the SAME year he missed weight at a lower weight and had to bump up a weight at the national tournament.

Chris Taylor

He must have missed weight by over 200 pounds!

Is this over 40 years ago?

Yep. I don't know when exactly they stopped allowing wrestlers to bump up. I'd think it was around the time you had to start qualifying for the tournament and wasn't just open to anyone.

Tab Thacker said hold my beer.  

They were about the same size. Taylor was given anywhere from 390-425 (I think more at the Olympics).

When I "weighed" Tab in at Lehigh about 40 years ago- I told him not to bother getting on the scale and asked him how much. He started at 390 and as I stared at him he went up a couple times and we settled on 415!

Just realized I never answered this one. 

Arthur Holding of Iowa State won at 135 despite originally entering at 125. 

1928 Dude?   Weren't there any stats from Lincoln or Biblical times?     :classic_wacko:
