Nearly six years ago, there was one guy that everyone in the amateur wrestling world was talking about…<\/p>\n
Brock Lesnar.<\/p>\n
He created an impression for the way he looked… and the way he wrestled.<\/p>\n
You couldn’t help but notice his physique. This was NOT a Teletubbie heavyweight (you know — some big guys are more round than anything else). Lesnar’s tale of tape: 6′ 4 “tall… 56 “chest… 20 “neck… 36 “waist. Even Dan Gable weighed in. At an IPTV College Wrestling broadcast, the legendary wrestler\/coach said something to the effect of, “When he strips off his warm-ups, he turns more heads than Cindy Crawford in a thong.”<\/p>\n
Lesnar also got noticed for his tough, take-no-prisoners wrestling style. In his two years at Minnesota, he lost only one regular-season match each year… a record that instantly propelled him to the top of the collegiate ranks.<\/p>\n
Lesnar built a mat resume as impressive as his musculature. He was a 1998 National Junior College champion. A two-time NCAA Division I All-American. And… NCAA heavyweight champ in 2000.<\/p>\n
And now he’s featured at NCAA Heavyweight Champs, the Yahoo group that honors the very best of the big men in college wrestling.<\/p>\n
Here’s what you’ll find on Lesnar…<\/p>\n
PHOTOS: You’ll see nearly five dozen photos of Brock Lesnar in three separate galleries: College… Pro… and Off The Mat. The College gallery alone has three dozen pics, a blend of tremendous action shots and great posed photos. (I’ve attached a photo of Brock pinning Bandele Adiniyi-Bada of University of Pennsylvania in the semifinals of the 2000 NCAAs) photo<\/a><\/p>\n
