Kendall Cross v. Gia Sissaouri 1996 Olympic Games

[escribeleagabriel]

kendall cross, perfect tecnic in all his moves

[Wrestling36A]

he taught us that move at a camp and told us about this match

[armeniantamara]

The guy in Red from Canada (Gia Sassouri) is Georges St Pierres Wrestling coach to this day. I wrestled Gia in my High School in Montreal once. He is a monster technician, one of the reasons why GSP is the #1 take down guy in the UFC, offence and defence.

to bad cross got that throw or he didnt have a chance in this one....

[i0will0be0the0best]

@101darcy sure dude but he beat him again in world trials...

[breww82]

Kendall is a beast. One of the greatest wrestler, ever.

[JesusManson323]

Wow, these were days when American wrestlers actually scored POINTS...wow. I wonder what that was like.

NascarxBobby I can't see how you can compare two olympic champs i say they are both equally great.

[gruzbod]

that's silly, that's like saying alexander karelin or b. saitiev and kurt angle are just as good, which simply isn't the case

[jetrck]

kendall crosss is one of the best wrestlers to come from the state of oklahoma and now i can use some of his shots and throws becuase he came to my home town today to teach them to us

[NascarxBobby]

Kurt was great but this guy was 10 times better.

Kendall is the man. He had balls to do that throw in the Olympic Finals! I love how people said it was a flewk, then he beat sissaouri again in Worlds! Great clip

[BJJaggieFutMarine]

@AnchormanWrestling he is one of my coaches :)

[thefool1234]

even though Cross was amazing...we gotta recognize sissaouri's talent...this guy gave a strong opposition to cross

[glitch2424]

of course! The great thing about Gia is that he's SUCH a technician! After Cross scored his points, he basically stayed defensive (which is of course the smart thing to do), but Gia actually had Cross in trouble 2 or 3 times (not including the points Gia scored). Gia's technique and calm demeanor made Cross look silly sometimes...but then again, Cross scored his first few points b/c he's such a monster. Anywayz, Gia is amazing...he taught Georges st pierre to wrestle, and GSP is ufc champ!
