I can’t remember the last time that people were this excited to watch a heavyweight. Gable is truly a unique talent. I look forward to seeing his future.
As a Minnesota wrestler myself, I've been watching Gable win high school state championships since he was 15 years old.. I don't know how a person can't appreciate what he's done for the U of Minnesota, the USA and wrestling in general.. 💯💖
He's been a fantastic representative of our fine state. He always takes every opportunity to tell people how great it is here and how much support he gets from fans. Kid makes us all extremely proud.
@@gunplaygaming6830 Gable in MMA would be very interesting, but we don't know how he would look when he got a very strong punch since in heavyweight there's only a fighter with a stone hand, I think it's preferable to see him in WWE being a new Kurt Angle
Lex- How about Gable and Cormier as guests? ♥️ What you are doing btw! My 18yo son looks up to you. He’ll be heading to a top engineering school in the fall focusing on robotics. Your podcast is the source for many wonderful conversations with him. I especially appreciate how your love for humanity shines through your podcast providing a prime example of how to hold fast to reason and rationality while still listening to your heart. You are a treasure and a hero to my son and me. Thank you. 🙏🏽
I knew the first time I seen him wrestling at practice when he was 5 years old that he was unlike anything I've ever seen before. I honestly thought he was years older which he mentally is. His father Robert is owed a lot of credit along with his mother if more parents thought like sacrificing everything them the world would be a better place. Thank you Stevesons sincerely northwest Indiana NOMADS
I wanted to see him at Bellator I think he could be a dominant champion there, in the UFC there are a lot of stone hands that I don't know how Gable would look when he got punched
@@DragunovWayne an olympic gold medalist wrestler would absoloutely demolish everyone as proven by cejudo. If curtis blaydes is a title contender being a high school state qualifier, you can use that to guage the grappling ability of heavyweights lol.
@@anqwonrandle I’d say he’s up there with the cockiest in his era and is in love with himself. I won’t deny that he’s a generational talent but he’s definitely has gone too far with showboating or being g disrespectful multiple times.
@@MrMiyagi-do exactly!! I get a kick out of all the clowns that keep bringing Cassar up. What’s AC doing now?? Gable was 18 and a true freshman then, AC was like a 5th year senior. Both matches were by one point and much like we watched last night, the refs let him put on his track shoes to finish the matches. Saw Dean, Bravo-Young and Suriano do it last night. Hang on to a slim lead and run around the mat to let the clock run out. It happened back then and it’s still happening now. PSU has a great program with Cael but the refs are afraid to call anything on them either.
Karelin is the best heavyweight of all time, it's stupid to argue with that. Karelin is a God of wrestling. Gable is one of the best, BUT he wouldn't not have defeated Karelin. But if you're only talking about NCAA wrestlers, you need to clarify this, because the Russians are at the same level
@@milescooper3525 There are two notches on the belt for an American wrestler. The first is to win the NCAA more than once. The second is to win the Olympics. Steveson has done both.
Damn so happy for him, but if he had the same drive and love for wrestling as Burroughs, Taylor and Snyder, we would be looking at a multiple time Olympic and World gold medalist easy
The window for WWE isn't as large as a second Olympic gold pursuit. Additionally, he may pursue MMA. Nothing wrong with making tens of millions of dollars in the next decade.
I disagree, the commitment and training it takes to be an Olympic champion is absurd. You have to love what you do to compete at it at a level like that. What more is there for him to do. He’s done everything you can do in wrestling and he has an opportunity the others haven’t. He’s more than likely the greatest heavyweight of all time, I don’t think you can question the love for a sport it takes.
I’d love to see him in the UFC at sometime just to see what he can do, but hope he makes a truckload of $ in WWE. Best of luck to a true legend to the sport.
I wanted to see him at Bellator I think he could be a dominant champion there, in the UFC there are a lot of stone hands that I don't know how Gable would look when he got punched
One of the baddest men walking the earth. Respect. Hard work, commitment and support made this man. Thank you Gable for sharing your talents with the world good luck 👍🏼.
Gable completely controlled the first peiod but after the escape in the second period he shot that double leg and Shultzstopped him and came close to getting the takedown. After that Gable played it safe and pretty much stalled the rest of the match.... Schultz wrestled tough....I wish he was coming back..He was a GREAT wrestler one of the most DOMINANT WRESTLERS of all time.
I obviously support anything this man does. He's excellence personified. It's a shame he's going to the WWE, because it's always sad when the very best in a sport has to offer leaves. We're also looking at a future MMA champ, right here.
An awesome way to finish off his NCAA career, Gable has never failed to impress me. Colton put up a great fight with Gable, and I'm sure with Gable gone he and the other heavyweights like Cassioppi and even Kerkvliet would get a good chance at winning a national title
@@billcipher3946 yeah.....it would be interesting to see how Gable would do against some of the former heavyweights......there have been some good ones!
Congratulations champ!!! Now on to chase the elite premier WWE championship of the world!!! There’s a new big dog in the WWE yard with Gable Steveson!!!
by close I think you mean gable didn't get to do whatever he wanted at will? I mean he still got 2 take downs and an easy escape and even an extra riding point.. Schultz couldn't do anything except keep him from scoring at will.
Schultz is an absolutely phenomenal wrestler! When you’re up you must protect that lead and you see Gable doing that. Two legends in the sport and a great match!
If Gable Stevenson doesnt fight MMA at some point while he's in his prime. It would be a shame. He's too much of a stud to not give it a go. But $ makes the world go round and the WWE is a fat bag right now.
Minnesota makes amazing amateur wrestlers gable is an absolute specimen can't wait to see what happens when Brock and Shelton get to mold him here shortly were looking at Kurt angle 2.0 and such a show of class cohlton has a lot of talent as well gable didn't have an easy victory at all here
I can’t remember the last time that people were this excited to watch a heavyweight. Gable is truly a unique talent. I look forward to seeing his future.
Just about every year people excited to watch a really good heavyweight lol. I like him tho
@@OGC558 Who’s the last heavyweight to cause this much interest? Backflips to cheering crowds? Olympic gold and 2 NCAA titles? Social media buzz?
@@ElearningDigest last time was Kyle Snyder for me honestly crazy to think he wrestled at heavyweight and dominated, but gable is a true star.
We've probably never seen a nfl type level athlete wrestle. This is what you get.
@@pocketssmith5933 wrestlers are better athletes😂😂
The amount of admiration coming out of Daniel Cormier shows the amount of respect he has for Gable.
Cormier is a legend himself

I want more hes 21 not continuing is sad. Wwe is money and I know at some point he’ll be in the ufc. I’d like to see him go for gold again.
University of Minnesota had Brock Lesnar too.

DC is everywhere and I love it. Hope hes doing well after his mother passed. We love you, DC!
blows my mind NCAA hasn't come up with a weight class between 197 and 285. Almost 100 diff is nuts.
265…effortlessly does a backflip. Dude is an absolute specimen.
Man, did WWE host this years NCAA championships, the whole video was intense and entertaining.
Gable is 220lbs+, but moves like he's 180. And he's not chunky, but solid athleticism. He's insane.
250+

Gable just wasn’t ever going to lose
Anthony Cassar

I did not expect to turn this on and hear DC but now that I hear him, it makes sense.
He is just starting his journey, good inspiration and hard working man. 💪
As a fellow Sun Devil, I was somewhat torn-but Stevenson, is my all time fav wrestler. So skilled, quick & powerful. Dominant💪🏽
For a freshman and going undefeated he held his own against the greatest ever.
Damn he’s a freshman?
Twin Racers yes
Best heavyweight of all time in my opinion. Once he gets the WWE title and wants to compete again he could be the UFC champ 100%
I think he would much prefer being the rock than being Brock Lesnar. Just my : cents 🤷♂️

@@alexlane6747 well he was Greco not freestyle
He's not winning ufc gold just by being a wrestling beast
Naw got smashed by Cassar that disqualified him.
The most impressive part of this match was Cohlton Schultz giving Gable his toughest match of the season.
What part was tough?
He had him on cruise control
@@avxngersthat’s the point
Look out this young kid will be number one for a long time to come!! Gable is gone. Took his took NCAA and Olympic Gold medal he is done
@Joetoy90 He hasn’t reached the highest peak
Who took the shoes afterwards?
@@milescooper3525 There are two notches on the belt for an American wrestler. The first is to win the NCAA more than once. The second is to win the Olympics. Steveson has done both.
“Have fun and train hard” best words !!
wrestlers like gable are what we need to keep building the fan base of wrestling in general
Damn so happy for him, but if he had the same drive and love for wrestling as Burroughs, Taylor and Snyder, we would be looking at a multiple time Olympic and World gold medalist easy
Competing on that high of level will take a lot of out of someone. WWE sounds way more fun for him!

If he had the “drive” he’d be signing up to make half of what he’ll make in the WWE.
Stevenson knows how to offensively score. Schultz knows how to push. Outcome was never in doubt.
This will one day have over a million views
SKI-U-MAH! GO GOPHERS! Thanks for all the memories Gable!

This is what wrestling is all about. A humble man. A great example to all young men. Thank you Gable 😊 💓
Look up his history you may change your mind
Where at? I watched a video of his childhood history.
The fact that DC is on commentary makes it better
DC is a natural on the mic
Legendary thumbnail
Congrats Gable! Thanks for all the good memories at the U of M and at Apple Valley high school
Thank you Gable! Best of luck in your WWE journey 🙌👏
It was sweet seeing this in person!
Amazing, and a natural performer.
Unreal seeing a college wrestler with his accolades retire this early. Good for him
So impressive! Gable Stevenson, wow!
Olympic Gold Medalist, 2 time NCAA HW Champ, Future UFC HW Champ...
future WWE world champ
Congratulations to an amazing career! I’m glad I was able to witness it! I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors. God bless you
That’s crazy, I remember watching gable wrestle in high school
Gable Steveson is a class act and real champ
Gable is superman. He is do great in all he does. Very much a class act and professional. Thanks Gable
Dude is just an amazing athlete
I wish and I would love to see him wrestle at the Olympics again.

Class act when he prayed with Kervliet after their match brought tears
What a way to go out
I didn't know DC would be a commentator for the championship!
Gable is absolutely the heavyweight GOAT! After his WWE aspirations, I really hope to see him in the UFC.
He sure was fun to watch from the Olympics to 2 national championships
I guessed all the matches during the medal round and went 10 for 10
that’s easy to do when there were no upsets lol
I never doubted that Daton Fix would lose…again.

WWE first then MMA
mma just isn’t for anyone sometimes. Winning Olympic gold in wrestling is a much more difficult & Impressive accomplishment to achieve.
I hope WWE treats this man well, also make his brother a steveson too
Crazy that in 2023 he'll probably be a part of the WrestleManaia card for that year.
Next stop, WRESTLEMANIA!!!
What a legend, would love to see him in the ufc instead of wwe, would love to see him actually fight
Never say never

Easy to like. Got to see him win several MN state titles...
Gable wrestles like a light weight 125-141 at heavyweight… the advantage is all Gable! Good work!
Cant wait to see him at wrestlemania
Good for him. Hopefully brock or angle help guide him.
Will be missed big guy
If you’re even able to compete against this guy you are a badass
Nice backflip 🔥
I got to see it live so cool and it was awesome
Gold Gable 👏
Wish gable woulda choose to fight 😂 he’s such a beast man. Imagine him faking a take down and cracking someone with a big overhand right
lol the slight shade towards DC for not knowing mason parris’s name made me chuckle
Amazing
LEGEND!
Nice shout out to Shelton Benjamin from DC
Wish Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle were both in there prime right now could you imagine these 3 guys going at it would be 🔥
Interesting - both Jim Nance and Stephen Neal played for the Patriots in the AFL/NFL.
