I'd be interested in hearing that as well. My Nephew and a couple of his teammates used to go to Coach Wallers summer camps.

That's awesome. Thanks for finding it.

I remember Morris on the boards. He always had great stories. I'd like to hear his Dave Schultz story.

Hey tread softly bud this is essentially a LJBGR+ thread.

This is by far my favorite post I have ever read on the wrestling boards for the last 20 years. I laugh every time I read it.

Personal or otherwise. Could be anything. The one that sticks out to me is Iowa's Randy Lewis talking about the time he wrestled Dave Shultz in practive. I know many of you have read or heard this story. but it is awesome. Randy lewis used to post on thematforums under the moniker Lewboo This is an epic post from the USA Wrestling forum by Randy Lewis about the late great Olympic and World Champ Dave Schultz. Lewis himself was a 1984 Olympic Wrestling Champion and an all time great. Dave Schultz couldn't turn me Postby lewboo » Fri Jan 31, 2014 3:33 pm With the Dave Schultz tournament going on this weekend, and my good friend Royce Alger telling his story about his first workout with Dave Schultz on Facebook, I thought it would be appropriate to tell my story of my first and ONLY workout with the great Dave Schultz. Dave was a great friend of mine, and we were teammates many times and were at training camps together many times, but I only got on the mat with him one time, for a total of just one minute. I would often roll around with bigger wrestlers in practice, but I was always afraid to wrestle Dave Schultz. Dave was the nicest guy in the world off the mat, but I knew that on the mat he was a different animal. I had seen enough of Dave Schultz in matches and in practice to know that on the mat he was as Stephen A Smith would say “A BAD MAN!!!” I always felt like if I were to wrestle him, I would be unable to protect myself. It turns out I was correct!!! I remember one time at the 1984 Olympic training camp and Dave didn’t have a partner and he asked me if I wanted to roll around a little. I said “Dave, I am not ever going to wrestle with you until I am retired! I don’t want to get hurt!” One year later, I had temporarily retired, and I was at a world team practice and guys were switching partners, and Dave said to me “Lewboo, now that you are retired you want to roll with me?” I said “Not really but I will for a little bit.” Just as I got paired up with Dave, coach Jim Humphries, who was running the practice announced, “1 minute periods, par terre, world team member on top!” I thought, really, one minute underneath Dave Schultz, that doesn’t sound very fun! Well, it took about 15 seconds for Dave to get my right foot placed up over my left ear, bending my body in a very painful way! My knee, my hip, my back, my neck, and my shoulder were all being wrenched at the same time! Pain was shooting through my entire body, and I was trying to roll over onto my back as fast as I could! Unfortunately for me I couldn’t move! Somehow, my neck and head got twisted so that my mouth and nose were stuck in the mat, and I couldn’t breathe. Not only was my body in severe pain, but now I was also suffocating, and I couldn’t reach Dave with either of my hands to tap out. My body somehow got stuck in a position where I couldn’t roll over, and Dave kept cranking harder and harder to try and turn me. I was stuck in this position for about 45 seconds, in severe pain and suffocating, unable to turn over and just as I started to black out, coach Humphries saved my LIFE by blowing the whistle. Dave let me go, and I rolled over onto my back, sobbing uncontrollably, and hyperventilating trying to catch my breath. Dave looked at me and said, wow, I can’t believe you didn’t turn over, I was really cranking hard. I said I was trying as hard as I could to turn over, but I couldn’t. I cried like a baby for about 5 minutes straight after that, and I never wrestled with Dave Schultz again. I have told this story to many other wrestlers when they ask me about Dave, and I follow it up by saying yeah, Dave was pretty good on top, but he couldn’t turn me! Writing this brings tears to my eyes and I and the wrestling world miss Dave so much, he was such a great person and such a great wrestler

I'm confused are you guys talking about Freestyle again?

Well it's not wrestling related but i used to pass a church outside of York Pa and the Pastors name was Richard Head. Always cracked me up.

I have a buddy who was University National Champ in Greco in 95 I believe and Freestyle and Greco armed forces champ the following year. West Point grad and was a commander inthe US Navy stationed in Afganistan. Also, My neighbors kid was a Two-time All-American at the Fargo National Championships and UWW Cadet All-American as a sophomore … Was the Fargo Greco National runner up as a freshman.

Is this a video from the Coronado cafe when they were talking about womens style and stall fest style before Coronella showed up and shit got real?

I know you are much more of an expert on the subject than I am but I see nothing about Bo's style that is a stall fest. I'm curious to see how often he was called for stalling in his career. I think his upper body skillset translates well to Greco. Dake as well. Also, Bilyal MAKHOV was a three time world champ in Freestyle and was the top ranked Russian and their greco worlds rep. once or twice in the past decade. What makes him so much different than someone like Gable who is a freak athlete with an exceptionally high wrestling IQ?

Truth. I remember it as well, I remember tthe Philly station Interviewed a resident named "Jack" outside the compound on the news and it was Cuvo. Who must have been competing there at the time.

You mentioned Provisor mauling the field up a weight in Freestyle. Accordingly, If your kid being a greco specialist beat Gilman easily in Par Terre "practice" . Gilman who is obviously our World Team Rep. with several medals. Is your son competative in Freestyle? I know he is a monster in Greco.

I guess this is what you are talking about right? I can see why you are confused. https://onwardstate.com/2022/01/13/i-am-iowas-daddy-bo-nickal-destroys-iowa-wrestling-fans-on-twitter/

Yeah, I imagine he is going through hell being one of the biggest celebrities in Cuban athletic history and living on a tropical island. He also has a brother who is an Olympic Medalist Boxer. Cuban super athletes are treated like royalty.

More meat on the meathead.

I just hope Spencer Lee does well and that he doesn't go Jack Cuvo.

They have a junior college?

Ginger Pyle did it.

Vak's dreams come true..

I think they are offering it for free. https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=notif&v=636727751371909&notif_id=1685574919659733&notif_t=live_video_explicit
