yes the taller you get the harder it is to hold muscle all things being considered plus his training would be to rigorus to have that much muscle mass. Even if he was natural which hes not he has top 1-2% genetics most people are near average. If you have great genetics you know it because you been kicking ass's in sports and such your whole life.

Of course, he did. The best greco for sure. If you put in freestyle in the mix, it's another story.

No. Not " 0WNED ", Asbrus. Due some research on Gable. The Hammer is only showing one small slice of the pie.

A little jingoism going on here? Gable was in freestyle I believe and not the best in history.

You guys are a bunch of fucking morons.

Karelin - Greco

Gable - American folkstyle, then freestyle

Brock - American folkstyle

Gable is considered a great wrestler not because of his accomplishments in the Olympics but because of his accomplishments in collegiate wrestling (American folkstyle)

I'd say yes, i met the guy in a international wrestling tournament that i competed in when i was a teen and he is as big of a monster if there ever was one (he was in his prime) at the time.

BTW. Dude is all jokes and smiles. He also did some training with Russian and Scandinavian strongmen and he had no trouble keeping up.

That saying is because the USSR was notorious for juicing their Olympic athletes back in the day. Was everyone else? Maybe, maybe not, no one knows for sure. I dont know the story, but I remember it being a pretty big deal and its followed them forever.

You're preaching to the choir, my friend. But good post, nontheless.

I specifically said, " Karein is my personal fav. " as in " My vote as the best OVERALL wrestler based on OVERALL skills and achievements. ". I only mentioned Gable because he's also a personal favorite of mine. Now, obviously, this post isn't really all that directed to you, HR. Your one of the smart ones. This post is directed to the retards in this thread trying to " own " me in some way or another. Sorry, guys, not talkin' out my ass about wrestling. I, like many here i'm sure, actually did it. ;-) And I stand by what I said. Gable belongs up there in the ranks irregardless of the wrestling style.


MELTDOWN. :P
