Greg was at the first wrestling camp I ever attended in 1990, what an outstanding guy and amazing wrestler. But wow Dave Schultz was one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. His front headlock was a literal vise.

Dave, best guy I ever wrestled and a cool cat.

[@sandspurpatch]

I'm amazed every time I watch his films.

When dave was a kid he would ride around town on a pink girls bike wearing a singlet and his head gear was in the handlebar basket and he would cruise around his town and challenge random groups of kids he would come across to wrestle him, been crushing fools since day one. dave is a tough guys tough guys tough guy.

Dave was the reason they kept on changing the rules, he kept on finding crazy moves and holds that no one knew what to do when wrestling him. He is the greatest wrestler when it comes to moves. I put him above Dan Gable even. Dan was the meanest.

Great technique 💪🏽 Schultz had "Split soles in '84. Go back & look at the '84 Olympics 😊

Dan Schultz, class act. Elinsky, poor sport.
