[computervoyeur]

John Smith is the stuff legends are made of.

[dbfan2scfan]

Lots of good scrambles in this match

[MrAdamamado]

Do you know what weight class this was??

[Eels88ya]

@MrAdamamado 134 i think

[kpcatcher924]

when smith goes low ankle, it's automatic. you have no hope stopping it because it comes again and again and again.

[KingOfDark29]

hes like the michael jordan of wrestling

[BF1]

@supermario103 Not to mention he never looks like he's in trouble in any of his matches.

[DavidForthoffer]

John Smith is in the orange. Flexible and adaptable also come to mind.

[crisco1up]

@supermario103 yep and all those titles were fake too right?

[chadlowman]

@crisco1up......moron he waas saying john smith is amazing although he doesn't look like he would be a superior athlete..

[rightwing52000]

@supermario103 he's alot like saitiev in regards to his unique style and body type.

[DaGarebear]

John Smith... What a unique name.

[khopskins]

yeah its a common name but what he has accomplished is truly extraordinary

[VICTORGENTRY]

john smith v kurt angle

[okbuddha]

I remember him pinning Mike Washington in the 83 state finals in 36 seconds at 136 pounds. Pat Smith was going to be better than John. Leroy was great too.

[tookfirst]

many complimentary superlatives could be used to describe John Smiths incredible wrestling abilities> one in particular just came to mind watching him again > not only balance but incredible mat sense, > his opponent is tough as nails, and ALMOST had Smith in very bad position numerous times, but SMITH ALWAYS knew where he was and what he had to do to turn the tables against his opponents seeming advantage. No matter what, no matter how wild the scramble, Smith just always WINS !

[harshvgaus]

smith v sanchez = quintessential white v quintessential hispanic.

[rclemente21]

The thing about John John is he wasn't overly strong but his technique and balance were off-the-chain incredible! My friend was on that Ok State team.

Anyway, Sanchez was from Nebraska. You have to feel bad for him there because he looked like a good wrestler but everytime he tried something Smith would counter and is incredible balance put Sanchez in trouble.

[bakerBoarder247]

his camp was bad ass!

[yoyoyoimagangster]

hell yeah it was, i was at the one with him and ben askrin. i wrestled like 30 somethin matches it was badass! i wrestled some of the toughest kids from wa., idaho, ore., and some from cali.

[HighHeadJim]

John Smith was great in High School too. A two time state champ in Oklahoma. He went to our crosstown rival Del City. But in 1981 we won the National Championship and the first seven weights at state. I wonder how much better we would have been if the Smiths had lived a few blocks to the east.M-Dub Bombers!! Back2Back State Champs 07' 08'!!!

[tpan14]

the guy in orange was john smith rite???

[theenigmatics]

yeah it was hard to see at first but you can see the logo of the school that's not Oklahoma on the redder looking singlet

[jgingeri]

looks more like a butcher

[unskinny1]

Love it!

[Shkettzy87]

were are those john smith highlights?

[BigPimpin69Bitch]

I wrestled J.V. for a month my freshman year of high school...i would destroy these guys.

[cards1knot]

you would get fucked up

[MedicineWarrior]

What weight class are you?

[kevo7777]

i hope you die "bigPimpin69". I could probably fuck you up. John smith would leave you with your body parts scrambled on the mat.

[idrinkleetjuice]

john smith would get a single leg take you to the mat and pi you in the cradle in like 3 seconds...including the pin time

[corey2219]

"anyone know the name of the move he did from the front headlock to turn him at about 21 seconds???"

noob

[alexgilps]

anyone know the name of the move he did from the front headlock to turn him at about 21 seconds???

[jabeastimo]

he may of been trying a ventriliquist

[jg81989]

cant see the hand placement but looks like a quarter nelson

[spectremis]

smith was ridiculously good. he moved with intention without hesitation. its as if he knew what the other guy was gonna do, and allowed the guy to do it simply for the joy of countering him.

[suketsu]

dghyhguukikllllll

[DrJoseSanchez]

My name is Sanchez

[jbankes2]

Is this you in the match?
