OSU happened to him: injured; cut too much weight; routinely gave up 2-minute ride-outs; backed up on his feet; couldn't get out of his own head, etc. He was part of that little snowball at the top of the mountain that started rolling and eventually lead to the avalanche of mediocrity that we see today.

jackwebster Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Old Skool: Shelton pins Dr Death at Bedlam. It was my first dual, and all I remember is Dr. Death's hands and feet wriggling like Gregor underneath a boot.

Not much after though. Yep, the Ancient Greeks wrestled and trained in the raw (nude). Here's some further information from a Wiki source: Greek athletes were the few athletes in the ancient world who practiced and competed naked. Homer's wrestlers in Iliad wore loincloths, but shortly after the Age of Homer, Greek athletes started to strip. It is not known why. Pausanias says athletes wanted to imitate Orsippos of Megara, a runner who won a footrace at Olympia in 720 BC after losing his loincloth. Dionysios of Halikarnassos and Thucydides credited a Spartan with the custom. Other legends say that a runner tripped on his loincloth and officials banned it as unsafe. Some say that athletes stripped to prove that they were males, or because they could run better in the nude. Other reasons have been given: athletes stripped for erotic reasons, or for cult reasons, or for good luck, or as a democratic equalizer. Some say they stripped because they were proud of their muscular bodies and their tans. The Greeks called the penis a "dog". Athletes sometimes used a cord called a "dog leash" to tie off the foreskin of the penis. It is unknown if this custom had sexual or aesthetic meanings. It appears to have been a matter of personal preference. Tying the foreskin is sometimes a subject in vase painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met him a few times at Mike Deanna's summer camps and then went on a recruiting trip to Duquesne. I often wish I had taken a chance on that school .

Jaworski in maybe 39 seconds. Ty and TJ ended up as teammates at UNC. Think Moore made blood round once while Jaworsky as you noted was a 3x champ. Moore’s younger brother Teague later won a title for Oklahoma St, which is where Jaworsky started his college career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
