Happy 49th Birthday John Smith!!


John Smith is a legendary wrestler! The 4th most dominant wrestler of his time, currently he is the Head Coach of Oklahoma State University.


List of his wrestling accomplishments to date:

• 5X NCAA Division 1 Team Champion
• 2X Olympic Gold Medalist
• 6X World Champion

He is known for his favorite technique, the low single leg takedown. He is so dominant with this move despite his opponents knowing it, they still cannot defend against it!
