For the Love of the Catch - for the history lovers in the crowd


Recommended Posts

I watched this topnotch documentary on youtube yesterday and wanted to share.

Curran Jacobs (MSU wrestler and catch world champion) has put together a documentary on the history of catch-as-catch-can wrestling along with Mike Chapman (WIN Magazine, creator of the Hodge Trophy, 5x National Wrestling Writer of the Year) that is absolutely fascinating. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Learn about guys like Billy Riley, Karl Gotch, Frank Gotch, Farmer Burns, and many more. Watch Terry Brands volunteer to get his tibia broken with a toe hold in front of the Gable statue. See the passion Dan Gable and others have for the history of the sport.

It is an hour and seventeen minutes well spent.

To paraphrase Mike Chapman, get hooked on catch.

Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge
