My HS wrestling coach worshipped Dan Gable. Funny story: I got a little too big for my britches one time in practice and coach taught me a lesson lol. I'll just say it was embarrassing and ended up with me getting rolled up like a burrito in a wrestling mat! Take away? Don't mess with a guy who really knows how to wrestle, they'll mess you up hard.

He had old man strength. We had a guy come in to practice old out of shape guy. Grabbed my wrist for an arm drag and I was like wtf does he have a cyborg hydraulic hand.
