Craig Vitagliano » Kendall Cross v. Sanshiro Abe, 1996 Olympic Games

i train with sunny hes honestly the awesomest person ever and hes funny and a great coach. he deserved that win but he was only a 4th year wrestler at the time

Kendall Cross is freaking awesome.

I always did like Kendall Cross's wrestling style.

My son has worked out with ABE. Very sharp fellow. Great human

Thank you Guru for posting a Kendall Cross match from the Olympics, I loved watching this kid never give up on positions, ever! Amazing to watch and I know Kendall had a burning desire to be number 1 and wondered sometimes why when people talk of the greats of the 90s they think of John Smith, Brands brothers, McIlravy, etc. but I have rarely heard Kendall Cross' name mentioned, wonder why.

IndyRR -The only other wrestlers I can think of who might have a better whizzer is Rob Koll and Dave Schultz. Great shots by Abe, hard to finish, Cross has rubber legs.

the great ones can do it, but I hate it when high school kids step over a whizzer. "Don't try this at home kids...only skilled professionals can perform this technique"

Has there ever been a wrestler who got more mileage out of a whizzer than Cross? He takes a funky, unorthodox position, and a defensive one at that, looks for ways to get into it, and then launches one attack after another out of it. It ain't necessarily pretty, but I love watching it.

define mat sense:2:52

it is unbelievable how he is so quick on that limp arm shuck by JPN that he ends up getting an underhook and leg in of his own.

more sunny

We need more Sanshiro matches they are cool to watch..........

Do you have any Cary Kolat matches from his college career to the 2000 olympics /worlds?
