I don't think Jesse Taylor quite made AA while at Fullerton.

Taylor was a California Community College All American for Palomar...The California Community College tournament is kinda a crap shoot though so this isn't exactly the greatest feat.

Ah, I see. It's a bit misleading, since it talks about how CB pwned him so many time while he was at Fullerton, and then says he was AA. I assumed they meant when he was at Fullerton. Makes sense now though, thanks Child!

The article says "Both men, who wrestled at 184 pounds, were All-Americans for their respective teams". So it is incorrect, becasue they never mention Taylor being at California Community College(Also can you be an AA if the tournament just for California?)
This may seem like a technicality, but the article is absolutely incorrect. I do not like to see a fighter's wrestling credentials exaggerated...like Mark Hamill being a World Class wrestler when he is a world class deaf wrestler.

Tito Ortiz pulled the same crap. He called himself a California State Champ in Wrestling. However, he never won state in High School. He won state in JC. A tournament that didn't even feature D1 schools.
