Right as the Vols tipped off, the final match of the NCAA Wrestling Championship started.

2nd Lieutenant Wyatt Hendrickson, 5th year SR - Ok State, walked down the tunnel with an American flag wrapped around him. President Trump in attendance.

He was maliciously greeted by Gable Steveson, arguably the greatest wrestler of our time - or all time. Multi-time national champion who forewent his final year eligibility a few years ago to join WWE. The man who didn't give up a single point on his way to an Olympic gold medal in 2020. Gable fell from grace in the WWE, tried to play for the Bills last year, then announced a few months ago he would return to Minnesota to win another championship. He was undefeated all season and didn't allow a single point leading into the final match this weekend.

Gable got in Hendrickson's face to inform him he could wear a flag when he has a gold medal. The ref separated Gable, Wyatt ignored him.

Down 4-2 with 30 seconds left, Wyatt Hendrickson got deep on a shot and was able to finish it. Taking a 5-4 lead and rode Gable out in the final 15 seconds for gold.

And now the Vols are up 7 after finishing the half strong.
It was a good ass match.

I love seeing Gable get humbled.
 
Rigged.

Really, that's pretty awesome. Wonder how long til we see a movie or 30 for 30 or something like that?
Took 10 years to get an Anthony Robles movie (that somehow featured Don Cheadle and Jennifer Lopez but came off as simultaneously low-budget) so I'll put it around about that long.

Also... who knows.... Gable was in the WWE and announced his return to UM after the election.... #conspiracy
 
Fans have been rough on him (myself once or twice included). Dude is shooting numbers we've literally never seen before
His quick release is a thing of beauty. I wish we had gotten him one year sooner and had him paired with Knecht. That would’ve been Lofton and Jajuan on steroids.
