Does not look like the Bill Horrigan I knew at GHS in 1980. Possibly aged. I think he was embellishing. High school for us in those days was three years, 10, 11, &12;. Though 9th grade was considered high school we were still at junior high and the teams there did not wrestle varsity. Greg Elinsky did not wrestle at Eds until the 1980s as he was runner up at the NCAAs in 1986/1987. So, he would have been too young to wrestle the non-existent Ironman. Bill was a competitive wrestler in HS, but I don't think he ever went to states.

Do you think this guy is really someone else? Will the real Bill Horrigan please stand up? Maybe he was a mole for some alien wrestling site.....watch who you sit next to on the plane.

forum moderator deleted my post.

i said the ironman was founded in 1994
it says right on WalshIronman.com under history
so there is no way he wrestled in it from 76-80

Wonder if someone in Ohio wrestling circles can figure out what the prelude tournament to Ironman was called. Maybe there is some kind of connection to the current day Ironman. Come on Ohio folks.

"helping out a fellow wrestler"....that is from the heart. Maybe he is off on his dates or maybe they called it something similar in 76-80. Hope that he enjoys looking at the site and maybe even gives us feedback from his perspective. Thanks to him for getting Joe to the matches.

Bill Horrigan What are the chances of this interview

December 4, 2008
When I got on the plane to Cleveland, the man next to me offered me a mounds bar which I gladly accepted. We began talking and when I told him I was covering a wrestling tournament he said, "it's not the Ironman is it." Turns out he was a wrestler and we talked for a while before I fell asleep. When we arrived I learned that I had no ride from the airport so he hauled me to a place where I could meet Billy Barger.
