I knew that he was a beast, but after seeing this video, he seems almost supernatural. Dan Gable wrestles at a continuous, aggressive, and consistent pace

How did you find this?? Thank you so much for posting this. I believe it is very important footage, and compared to all the team/big money sports that have volumes of history recorded for people, this is very rare stuff. Any more older wrestling films like this will be greatly appreciated.

I met him twice in my life at his camp. The first was at a lecture he gave directly after flying home from the 1st Goodwill games in Moscow in 1986.

The following summer at his camp a few of us wandered into his office. He was at his desk. Busted! He invited us in to look around and it was amazing -like a museum.

Dan Gable is a great man and an American hero. I'll never forget him as long as I live.
