Let me preface this first. I say this with absolute respect and admiration for what Carter Starocci has done and is attempting tonight.
The ESPN crew had a vote last night shortly after the Semi, and decided to make a unified decision.
Wrestling fans know Carter, the world knows Gable.
Gable is an Olympic Gold medalist, played a stint in the NFL, and was on the WWE roster. It’s unquestionable his audience is larger.
Carter’s 5th is epic.
However, the casual fan will ask what’s the significance of 5. Why is it important and why has no one else ever done it? No one has had the chance, and no one ever will accompanied by the perplexing explanation of the COVID year, and extra eligibility.
I think both guys will be given their due credit tonight. Both are exceptional competitors and the World will watch with anticipation. With two men of this magnitude there could only be one to close the show. But this format makes an incredible event from start to finish.
Don’t be late! 🍿
All coaches in EVERY SPORT should listen to this nine minute video. I am so happy that my son got to play for Coach Rhule even if it was for only one year! Every parent should want to send their son to this guy for four or five years!
