Fadzaev2

Too "far out" for me....lol....maybe I'll start another thread with my kind of music.

I was surprised!

Don't forget to vote for JB

How about Andy Daniels vs. John Azevedo 1978 NCAA finals ....Daniels fall :30, which reminded me of an unbelievable high school match at the Dapper Dan in 1990 two, I believe undefeated 4 time state champions......the arena went dead silent.

I was there and have that match in my library.

No, but we were near the lower railing and he went down to the railing to talk to Lincoln (maybe to go over the railing) and the usher gave him a hard while knowledgeable spectators were telling usher (who was clueless right in Hawkeye Carver Arena), to let him go.

I was sitting right by McIlravy's dad.

Very interesting ....I can see the importance of that!!

Maybe it hasn't been mentioned for a reason (I'm friends with both of them, but know Brent a lot better)

Yep ....that belongs on my list as well.....McIlravy came out of red shirt right before Big Ten's and moved one of the Steiner's to strengthen the Hawkeye lineup. Super match....Lincoln got Abas tired and turned it up in the third period to come from behind to win 16-15...barn burner....good call.

LOL....Oh really! Did he like any other Russians, because there are lot's of good Russian, including in Fadzaev's era?

His brother was going nuts as well....almost got in a fight...now I'm wondering who you are???? Who is that masked (sunglasses) man??

For me a couple off the top of my head and not in any order..... Gable pinning Ashrulaev in one of the first USA vs. Russia duals ever .....McGaw Hall (70 or 71) Schultz vs Banach....NCAA finals 1982 15-8 Schultz Mills vs Gonzales Mills 16-13 1979 Dake's 4 finals matches Jimmy Haines vs Mike McArthur 1977 Haines winner (Haines was a takedown machine...so was Joe Gonzales) Randy Lewis vs Jim Gibbons Midlands......Lewis won this one and during their next encounter in the dual, Lewis dislocated his elbow and had to battle back through Big Tens and NCAA's to even AA after 3 finals appearances 2-1-1-7 John Fisher TF Olympic Silver medalist Barry Davis at Midlands, and Fisher was a freshman....1984 Jimmy Carr and Carey Kolat competing very well as high school students at Midlands. Although they were really a wt. class apart and Sergei had not been training.....Belaglozov vs. Smith (maybe a $10,000 match) Grand World Wrestling Championships Pittsburgh....FADZAEV vs. Carr in the same event. The Randy Lewis vs Darryl Burley matches. I'll stop there ....there are so many!!! Been to many NCAA's, Midlands, World Cups, Big Tens and more over maybe a 52 year span.

Gilbert vs Brands was 33-19, and the Big Ten Final was controversial....sure looked like Gilbert had Brands pinned (half nelson).

I agree, but again, in swimming, numerous medals can be won at one championship, JB's had to build it one medal at a time. GO JB......

go JB

He was coming off of U23's when wrestleoffs took place.

so far....Fadz

Best of luck to Spencer.....great kid!!

Rip is great!!! I recognized your face....lol.

There is a great story there, but it is long and if I told it, it might help to give me away. Arsen is very special though.
