I'd like to meet:

These are extraordinary individuals who I've either had the pleasure of being coached by, wrestling with, competing against or they are simply legends. In some cases I'm giving them "props" for their contribution to the sport or their efforts to raise the profile of the sport. In any case, if you are a fan of wrestling, grappling, MMA, etc... you should seek these people out and shake their hand. We all stand on their shoulders.****Chris Bono**Ken Chertow**Kendall Cross**Bobby Douglas**Rob Eiter**Dan Gable**Lee Kemp**Chris Campbell**Rulon Gardner**Matt Ghaffari**Les Gutches**Damion Hahn**Sammie Henson**Daniel Igali**Jack Cuvo**Russ Hellickson**John Smith**Pat Smith**LeRoy Smith**Cary Kolat**Jared Lawrence**Alexander Leipold**Matt Lindland**Dan Henderson**Mike Foy**Darrell Gholar**Garrett Lowney**Kerry McCoy**Gene Mills**Dan Russell**Teague Moore**Lou Roselli**Cael Sanderson**Dave Schultz**Mark Schultz**Lou Banach**Ed Banach**Brandon Slay**Troy Steiner**Terry Steiner**Dave Zuniga**Leroy Vega**Bruce Baumgartner**Joe Williams**Ben Peterson**John Peterson**Mike Houck**Steve Fraser**Randy Couture**Greg Gibson**Dennis Hall**Jim Gruenwald**Heath Sims**J.
