2td3nf 586 Report post Posted July 20, 2021 (Ok NJDan, I think this kid deserves his own thread.) Just saw all of Shapiro's matches right now and need to (and will be glad to) watch them at least a second time to check out his technique again. First time I ever saw this kid wrestle. Wow, looks like he has quite an array of attacks and an elite gas tank on top of that. Those were really fun matches to watch. Congrats to Meyer on winning World gold! 1 spladle08 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw a list of great Jewish wrestlers that includes Ken Chertow, Scott Schatzman, Adam Mariano, David Hirsch, Adam Cohen, Cory Cooperman, Glen Goodman, Alan Fried, Duane Goldman, Eric Tannenbaum and Damian Hahn (maybe). 1 Housebuye reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uncle bernard 1,117 Report post Posted July 21, 2021 He was a revelation at trials. Had him penciled in for gold in my head after that. Willie was ahead of the curve bumping him to #1 in his class over Chittum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
