Met him in Syracuse a long time ago as a little kid at a state tournament. Even as an adult he had a weird voice. High pitched, strange considering what a badass he is. No one in their right mind would comment to his face about it or mock him.
Ya know, it's too bad the UFC wasn't around when he and Gable were in their primes. Now that would be interesting!
Gene Mills , I moved to Chicago from Jersey in '76, I watched Gene Mills wrestling in one of the toughest national tournaments long after his college career > Midlands, Gene was mid 30's, no apparent muscles, slight gut and up against stud from U of Iowa, Greg Randall, Gene Mills slaughtered him who was ranked as best in nation at the time, Crowd sayin who heck is Gene Mills ? Dan Gable knew & did NOT even try coach his kid get murdered by Mills. I warned people> Mills is danger
I have the whole CD of the 1976 state finals because my dad Rich Billitz pinned Mike Jacoutot in the 122 final in 1:27 also he beat Jeff klein. I would put some state finals up but my dad wont let me =(
the coach is with the crazy shirt, but my dad still gets pissed that he didnt get OW even know he had the quickest pin people still say he got screwed from it.
OW always goes to the best wrestler in the tournament regardless of whether he wrestles the best in the tournament or not. It's really dumb. It happens in the NJ tournament all the time, like this week with Scott Winston and sometime back with Damian Hahn, nobody else ever had a chance to get OW.

still i say kirchner should get OW for the high score and plus went to over time, i seen kirchner wrestle my team went against him and he pinned my friend who went to the state twice but still kirchner beat Trause who was going for his 3rd title 0.ô
I agree it should have gone to Kirchner, he got the loudest ovation next to Winston. I was there on Sunday at states. Problem is Winston set an unprecedented record, and like I said, it usually goes to who is considered the best going into the tournament if that guy wins. Also, Winston dominated by pinning in semis and finals, Kirchner only won in OT after being down 5-0. He did upset top seeds though, which in my view is OUTSTANDING!!!
i was at a rutgers wrestling camp and winston was rooming near me as a councelor and some dumbass put goldfish outside his door he got really pist and winston was fuckin yelling at him and he sent him home. some funny shit haha
i went to a camp with gene mills and he told us all he wast givein a thumbs up to his coach it was to his father he is a bad ass guy and he is extreamly funnny but i need to know when to work and when to play thats waht wrestling is about
Darkshadowmoss, you seem to have your facts just a little mixed up. He didn't tell his dad that he would give him the thumbs-up IF he was about to pin him, but WHEN he was about to pin him. I mean, this is God Genius Mills we're talking about. I dont think there was any question as to whether or not he was gonna pin that kid.
i met gene mills at wrestling camp this week and also last summer camp, that guy is awesome hahah and funny dude. oh btw he told everyone at the camp the thumbs up was to his dad cuz he told him before the match that if he got the guy in a pin he was gonna give out a thumbs up to him..lol
yea Adamwashea, Mills looked like a skinny rag back then, and to this day he talks in a manner that some laugh at, but mills in HS, college and in international competition was a kick ass bad ass all they way to almost 40 yrs old, I saw him destroy some of Gables Iowa boys - - in Open tournaments, namely the Midlands
4:08 he gives the thumbs up ha
