Anyone use a wizard to score a pinfall at states?

It would certainly be magical to score both a pin and a fall in multiple states at the same time.

And with a Wizard instead of a Whizzer nonetheless.

I think that'd be the only way you could accomplish such a magical task.

I know a kid from The Shire, Pennsylvania.  He won PIAA that year with a wizard in the finals.  What was most fascinating is how he neutralized his opponent in the 1st period with an Elf's Bow & Arrow.

Was a ring involved?

Reminds me of a kid in the Kansas state championship match who won by a single point but much to the oohs & oz of the crowd, he spent the entire 3rd period on top witching the bottom kid's ankle.

I once used a warlock.

I saw it many duels.  Never at states.

Yes, I saw Gable Stevenson, Reece Humphries, and Logan Steiber all do this at states. Carl Sanderson saw it too and tried to recruit them.

Not a malapropism but... Anybody stop using "tripod" (e.g. re standup) and opt for "quadpod" bc the former doesn't accurately describe the position? I tried "baby standup" for a minute but found it didn't roll off the tongue.

Edit: one time on Jeopardy, Dan Gable introduced answes about wrestling. One was a a video of Zadick(?) hitting a double a the prompt was something like"With his technique, wrestler A grabs wrestler B by both legs." The correct question was "What is a double leg tackle?" Gable's big book of wrestling call leg attacks "tackles," and I always thought it sounded strange.

Thought Carl only recruited men in tights type of guys?

We started calling it quadpod like ten years ago for that reason. The whole program uses it now and I feel like I hear other people use it too. It definitely rolls off the tongue nicely… even rhymes so it’s easy to remember. Just start using it and you won’t regret it

I think it was called tripod because the hands were close together.

We use quad pod as well. I’m kicking myself because I waited to install it and after I taught they were hitting it in matches the next day and our Percentage on bottom went up
