1986 PIAA AAA Southeast Regional Wrestling Finals at Council Rock High School

why did you black out the part where you got punched in the face.

[MGioWrestlingCoach]

Is that you Rich? Not sure many people know about that incident but I didn't black it out. It was out of view. After I slammed him to the mat he did punch me.

[MGioWrestlingCoach]

Cool. Tell Rich I said hello.

[MGioWrestlingCoach]

Correction, I did black it out cause the video was too long for youtube. It took a while for Rich to get back on the mat. He could have quit right there and won the regionals with an injury default. I appreciate that he got back up. I think his mom told me after the match he wouldn't have wanted to win it that way.

Sorry Buddy - No I am a friend of Rich's - His son and my son are good buddies - elementary school wrestlers - had a sleep over my house and I guess ran into that video - Great to see the old matches. Hope all is well - If you want I can pass on a message to Rich - otherwise Take Care.

Oops, meant to say never stopped coming.

[jdbeach625]

Mike- I wrestled for Downingtown back then. I always enjoyed your matches. They were always back and forth. Sometimes you'd get behind because you would get sloppy, but you never kept coming. Some people even thought you were dirty. I loved it.

[MGioWrestlingCoach]

jd, I got pinned 1 time in my entire wrestling career that was at regionals my junior year against Todd Wright. I had lost to him in secitional finals pretty bad so I actually layed down 45 seconds in to save up for wrestlebacks. Worked cause I took third which was a ticket to states.

[MGioWrestlingCoach]

BTW, thanks. I hung out with the Downingtown down guys back then, Billy Null and your trainer also but I forget her name.

[sejamax]

[MGioWrestlingCoach]

Nobody had video cameras back in 1986. This is vintage footage. Hy Mayerson, gets all the props. He is RedKruzer on youtube.

[MGioWrestlingCoach]
