H&LD E69 w/ Brett Robbins: He was coached by an Olympian and didn’t know it until years later. But the work he put in with that coach in regards to Greco and freestyle allowed him to find his way to Northern Iowa. Wrestling was his way to cope with his father’s battle with ALS. His decision to train freestyle over Greco for the senior level was simpler than it seems. Consistency has been a common theme for the Panthers this season and it showed in the State of Oklahoma this past weekend with Panthers first dual win in Stillwater ever.

Talks about the opportunity to continue his wrestling career with NYC RTC and wrestling for Israel. I asked if there was a chance we could see WWE Tag Team twins in the near future.
