Has to be a top 10 play in ISU football history...

Not an athlete, but this seems relevant. Not much more than a month after this he passed away.

And keep it for posterity so that people know what Hilton Magic looked like

Did you know that Mykckadlkfjaluk was really young and next year he'll be a great player?

A lot of coaches have came and gone since Johnny, and people can argue about Tourney appearances W-L records etc... but he'll always be my personal favorite MBB coach at ISU.

If you wanted no lines at the concessions you went before they introduced Johnny. Nobody wanted to miss him coming out to the tonight show theme song. He is a legend

Its amazing that Dietrich didn't break his neck doing this

Here's a YouTube video of the move. Agree - just watching his head bounce off the mat made me cringe:

It's cool but it doesn't end to well for Chris. He hugged him when they met to see if he could actually get his arms around his chest

Consider me a young buck. Would love to know what's going on here other than a little guy tossing a much bigger guy.

Who's the guy who is tossing him? Also, was this the heavyweight class? How is he wrestling someone 1/3 his size?

Good lord. Taylor was 436 lbs against Dietrich's 260 lb

Taylor was screwed in both of his losses, Freestyle ref was kicked out of the olympics after he admitted he awarded a point against Taylor because he felt sorry for the other guy. And Dietrich actually pinned himself first, touch fall in Greco.

Yeah, I guess Greco-R rules are if you get your guy on his back, even briefly, it's a pin? Not sure of the rules. Yes if so, Dietrich pinned himself. Great move though. He sure didn't have Taylor on his back for longer than 1 second.

Hard to believe anyone could beat Taylor back then.

Suplex City! The Incredible Story Behind The Greatest Throw in Wrestling History

It is without question the most talked about photograph and probably the greatest throw in Wrestling history. The throw occurred at the 1972 Olympics during the Greco-Roman portion of the Games.

Looks like Mike.

I thought I read somewhere that technically this should have been a win for Taylor as Deitrich technically pinned himself due to it being a "touch fall". I don't know a ton about wrestling so I could be off. Regardless, this was insane.
