They probably mentioned it on ESPN on Friday night, but just in case they didn't,
1. What did Mike Cannon accomplish at this year's national tournament that only one other wrestler in history has done? A clue is at the bottom of this post.
2. Before this season, when Kilgore and Miller beat Mike Pucillo, who was the last Ohioan to defeat Mike Pucillo? Clue at bottom.
1 Phil Simpson also accomplished this feat.
2. This wrestler was an all-american in NAIA this year.

Butzer for the win! That was great see him back this year. Wouldn't it be neat to see Pucillo vs. Butzer one more time? Who would win?

Pucillo for sure. Even in his injured state, I would say. Not that Butzer isn't an great talent and incredible physical specimen, because he is, but it just seems that D1 is a lifestyle change that gives wrestlers a whole different perspective.

Boo Yeah! I knew someone would get it eventually. It's a pretty impressive accomplishment. Cannon went 65-74-84 while Simpson went 41-57-49. Hopefully, Cannon will inspire wrestlers not to cut too much weight, and let their bodies grow into He-Man bodies like Mikey.

Another trivia question:
Which feat has been accomplished more... 4x AA or 2x NC?
I do not know the answer but would love to know. Personally I think 2x NC is higher but I could be wrong.

2 years ago, ESPN said there are MORE 2x NCAA champs than 4x AAs.

Let me throw one out there, mainly because I am curious.
How many 4x NCAA finalists have there been? I can think of three for sure, but wonder if there have been others.

I can think of Cael, Pat Smith, Mocco, Ben Askren, Jake Varner and Lincoln McIlravy. Joe Williams is a maybe.

It's a shame to know that Randelman would have been on that list had he not been ineligible his senior year.
