Didnt read the whole article but we watched Jesse become NYs first 4 timer. He’s from section 11 Long Island where I’m originally from. His specialty was the crab ride and no did it better.

Harvard has had some very good crab riders!

It is and I think the reality for most international wrestlers. His walk around was well above his college weight too. For some reason I thought he wrestled 157. But maybe I’m confusing him with JP O’Connor.

I'm sure they are but he was part of the one-day, night before era of weighins.  This could be naivety but I don't think those extremes are a reality anymore.
