Mark Kerr

With a broken neck.

I was there at nationals when he literally hit the mat, and I'm like, literally, I watched when his neck broke at freestyle nationals.

And he got hit with an arm spin, and he gets arm thrown, and his head gets almost like separated.

It was nasty.

And I'm in the stands going, oh, fuck, he's not going to be in the trials.

Like, there's no fucking way he's going to be in the trials.

And sure enough, fucking like five weeks later, he's in the trials.

I'm like, what the fuck, man?

There's no way he should be fucking able to wrestle.

None.

Unreal.

He was so good and small for a heavyweight.

So he was always undersized.

Yeah.

But, like, the years that I beat him and then 95 when we wrestled in the Freestyle Nationals, and I beat him four times in a row at that point.

So we wrestle in the 95 Freestyle Nationals, and I get a hold of him for the first time, and something was different.

I was like, oh, fuck.

Like, wrestling going, oh, man, something's different with Kurt.

And he ends up beating me in the Freestyle Nationals in 95, and I'm like, oh, fuck.

There was just something different.
