    DT is far and away my favorite wrestler of all time. . . .However title of greatest American career is clearly either John Smith or Jordan Burroughs with an honorable mention to Bruce Baumgartner and possibly one or two others.
    He should be top 5 all time without a doubt.

    Since CP phrased the title as a question, I'd say no. He no doubt had a great career, among the best, but there are several in front of him, including Smith, Burroughs, and Dake (whom he couldn't beat since childhood).

    As a former NCAA wrestling champion, I feel it's necessary to bring attention to a disturbing incident that occurred during the recent match between David Taylor and Aaron Brooks at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials. I watched the match and witnessed Brooks engage in an "oil check" maneuver, where he inserted his fingers into Taylor's buttocks. This move is not only disgusting but also an egregious violation of sportsmanship and ethics in wrestling.
    For those unfamiliar with the mechanics of this move, it's important to understand how it affects the opponent. Similar to the technique used to break a pit bull's grip during an attack, inserting an object into the anus can cause a person to lose their power and core stability. This area of the body is incredibly sensitive, and the shock and discomfort can disrupt an athlete's concentration, balance, and physical control. It can significantly impair their ability to perform, giving the perpetrator an unfair advantage.
    In wrestling, where control, balance, and mental focus are crucial, such a violation is particularly egregious. It undermines the integrity of the match and disrespects the opponent. The move can lead to a loss of physical power, much like the analogy with the pit bull, where inserting a finger into the dog's rectum often causes it to release its grip due to the sudden shock and loss of muscle control.
    What makes this situation even more hypocritical is Aaron Brooks' public declarations of giving glory to God for his victory. While faith and gratitude are personal and often positive expressions, it is deeply offensive to invoke divine praise while engaging in such unethical behavior. This hypocrisy not only tarnishes Brooks' reputation but also casts a shadow over the sport and the values it is supposed to uphold.
    Given these serious concerns, I believe the following actions should be taken:
    1. **Immediate Investigation**: There needs to be a thorough and unbiased investigation into this incident to determine the facts and ensure accountability.
    2. **Clear Rules and Penalties**: Wrestling authorities should reinforce the rules against such unsportsmanlike behaviors and establish clear penalties for violations.
    3. **Education and Training**: Athletes should be educated on maintaining ethical conduct and the severe consequences of actions like the "oil check."
    4. **Public Accountability**: Those who wish to express their faith publicly should be held to a high standard of conduct that reflects the values they proclaim.
    The sport of wrestling values strength, skill, and honor. Incidents like this degrade the sport and the athletes who participate in it. It's essential that we address these issues to preserve the integrity and respect of wrestling. I urge the wrestling community and relevant authorities to take this matter seriously and ensure that appropriate measures are taken.

    Definitely one of the greatest American wrestlers but the greatest is John Smith, then you have Bruce Baumgart, Kenny Monday, Dave Schultz, Cael Sanderson, Tom and Terry Brands, Dan Gable, Henry Cejudo and there is other great American wrestlers to add that have won world and Olympic Gold medals. Current day you have Olympic and world gold medalists Kyle Snyder, Jordan Burroughs, and then David Taylor.

    • @kristopherwilson506

      Henry doesn't belong with those guys. He has an Olympic Gold, but no World Championship. In terms of freestyle/international accomplishments, the shortlist is Smith, Baumgartner, Sanderson, Snyder, and Burroughs. Dake, Taylor, the Brands brothers, those guys are all a tier below.
