    Hey that was a great interview, Dennis Hall is one of my greco-roman idols. I am a high school wrestling coach and it is very frustrating that we don’t see many kids wrestle greco. I love greco-roman wrestling and I am glad that Dennis Hall talked about how greco-roman wrestling can help high school wrestlers with folk style wrestling.

    Yours in wrestling,

    Coach Dotson
