Mt. Rushmore of American Amateur Wrestling Who would you select to be carved into the Mt. Rushmore of American Amateur Wrestling? <4 names>
Re: Mt. Rushmore of American Amateur Wrestling Gable, Cael Sanderson, John Smith, Hodge (with his hand sticking out)
Re: Mt. Rushmore of American Amateur Wrestling Gotta say, I really can't disagree with matclone. Gable, Cael, Hodge, and Smith

Re: Mt. Rushmore of American Amateur Wrestling I was going to say those four, but I don't think Cael has really established himself yet as being in the same league as the other three. Not to minimize his outstanding and singular achievements, but Gable and Smith have distinguished themselves over the years as outstanding competitors and coaches, and Hodge was much more impressisve in NCAA competition, as well as freestyle and Greco-Roman. Save that fourth space - if Cael can coach a few NCAA championship teams, maybe he'll earn the spot.

Re: Mt. Rushmore of American Amateur Wrestling Maybe Bruce Baumgartner over Cael or Hodge?
I believe his is the most decorated Olympian in US history.
Re: Mt. Rushmore of American Amateur Wrestling I agree, Baumgartner deserves to be in there. Or perhaps with his size, he'll have his own mountain?

Re: Mt. Rushmore of American Amateur Wrestling Dan Gable, John Smith, Bruce Baumgartner, and Dan Hodge (reserved for Cael Sanderson).
Re: Mt. Rushmore of American Amateur Wrestling Is it pretty much settled then, except for the fourth face? Shall we tell the quarrymen to proceed?
Oh, in which state shall this monument reside? (there must be rock).
Re: Mt. Rushmore of American Amateur Wrestling Should Gable be carved with or without the glasses?
