Smith has done it all.
- Two NCAA titles (1987-88)
- Four World titles (1987, 1989, 1990, 1991)
- Two Olympic gold medals (1988, 1992)

- Sportsman of the Year in 1990
- UWW International Wrestling Hall of Fame (2003)
- Distinguished Member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame (1997)
The honors go on and on.
