#18	TJ X about 12 hours ago. Gallaghers said: “My son has worked out with ABE. Very sharp fellow. Great human.” I love this comment, "Great human." Just a tad more detailed than necessary but I will go one step further: Yes, I agree, Abe is a great wrestler and a great species of the race Erectus (upright man) which existed 1.8-.3 million years ago. reply

#15	TJ X October 11 at 5:03pm 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. reply
#14	Mike Marsters October 10 at 2:36pm i met kendall at oklahoma gold wrestling this summer. he's amazing. great guy, fantasticwrestler reply
#13	Hammerhead October 9 at 1:59pm 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. reply
#12	Jordan Stepleton October 9 at 10:51am Great match. I love seeing Cross wrestle. Is that Zeke Jones by the scoreboard? reply
#11	Twilly October 9 at 7:49am 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" reply
#10	Mark Bader October 9 at 7:13am Awesome match thanks Craig! reply
#9	IndyRR October 8 at 9:21pm 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. reply
#8	Anonymous Coward October 8 at 8:59pm He is lucky Terry Brands did not make the 96 Olympic Games he would of still be in pain!!! More Brands please they are the best to watch. reply
#7	Royboy October 8 at 8:35pm 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. reply

#0	Craig Vitagliano October 8 at 2:05pm Ok round 2 at the 1996 Olympic Games featuring Kendall Cross and Sanshiro Abe. Cross was the 1989 NCAA champ for Okie State and the 1992 Olympian. Abe was a 4x NCAA AA & National Champ at Penn State going 4,3,2,1. Some really great action in this bout on the feet and in par terre. Abe has some real solid leg attacks. Cross is just too funky. Some really nice scrambles and nice offense from Cross as well. Just a great match. This is what wrestling's all about. Enjoy. reply
