While things are kind of slow, how about making a list of your favorite....I'll say favorite, instead of greatest, wrestlers of all time.  I made a list, and just 10 is pretty hard to pick and choose, so I'll say 15.  For now, let's keep this a list of domestic wrestlers, not international.....Fadz  I'll publish my list after I think about this a little more.  Have fun....Fadz.

No, but he was a ref's decision away from being the first 4Xer, and he is the only true freshman HWY champ.

Spoiler/Apology: Given that I only became interested in college wrestling in 2018 my list is very PSU heavy.

In no particular order, though I saved Number 1 for the end:

Nick Lee (saw live)
Jason Nolf (live)
Zain Retherford (live)
Bo Nickal (live)
Cael Sanderson (via clips)
Dan Gable (via clips)
Spencer Lee (live)
Dan Hodge (via conversations with Mike Chapman)
Vito Arujau (live)
Tom Brands (via clips)
Kyle Snyder (live)
Mike Macchiavello (live in an elevator, actually two elevators)
Mark Hall (live)
Vincenzo Joseph (live)

Numero Uno - Kyle Todrank

He danced on Jason Nolf and lived (barely) to talk about it
