I did that thing where you discover an athlete from the past that you had forgotten

about completely quite literally an Olympic sport star that tend to fade as you know the Olympics

are over you forget about certain people especially if they were gold medalists in something

that you just don't watch any other time but the Olympics like they're not involved

in another sport where you even remotely pay attention to like I don't I'm not paying

attention to Greco Roman wrestling just not doing it. I could name a single individual competing

in Greco Roman wrestling but I remembered Rulon Gardner. Do you remember that? Are you old?

I know the name well because anytime you watch Greco Roman wrestling in the Olympics that name

is brought up a billion times because he beat a Russian that hadn't lost in a thousand years

and looked like King Kong and was the devil. He was like a tax collector in Russia with a shaved head

and you should see this guy that he beat. I remember when he beat him it's insane. He beat his name was

Alexander Karlin I think it was. The guy he beat the Russian he beat hadn't lost in 13 years

he hadn't given up a point in six years he was considered literally unbeatable so

Rulon Gardner beat him in the 2000 Olympics and it was a huge deal because he won the gold

he was an American so in this country obviously we celebrated him and he's a doofus looking cat

I mean when you see Rulon Gardner he's from Wyoming he's I don't I say it he's just not a striking

individual okay let's just I'm trying to be fair he's just you're like well he looks like he would

be a wrestler yeah I mean yeah I mean yeah I got retired washed up WWE wrestler not a world

class Greco Roman gold medalist not that kind of wrestler right like he was the first match when

yeah Kurt Hanning was out there back in the day right you know yeah he looks yeah like a washed

up balding hillbilly gym knees arthritic struggling right like he walks boleg it kind of yeah yeah

like Rob Van Dam if you seen Rob Van Dam try to walk I have not it's really depressing it's kind of
