Just to remind the world of Ironbird’s insanity, here’s a choice post from HR I plopped into the Sealey to PSU thread:
HR MVP
AGAIN, SPENCER LEE IS the BEST wrestler in the world!!! The closest to 100% Healthy we have seen him was at that Freestyle Tournament a few years back. He made the best we have, look stupid!!! He did not have a close match.
Aujua, Tomato, and several others were there. Not taken anything away from anyone else including the Russian Tank, but there is no way in hell that any of them could have done what he has already.
That is the answer to, injuries happen. YES, they do, some can work through minor crap and still win. A very small number have been able to overcome some pretty major injuries and win. When that has happened, they usually squeak by and that is not to taken anything away from what they did!!!
LEE has
dominated at NCAAs, and the last one, he did it with two bad knees. I have never even heard of anyone even wrestling with torn ACL in BOTH knees before more or less winning the NCAAs! So to this point, he has done more then his job. He has been the face of the IOWA program! I truly believe that a lot of what he has done, he has done for this program.
He knew what it meant for us to win a team title. He knew that he was going to have to be a big part of it. I think he Wrestled hurt for IOWA. Without the F-in cvid year he would have already been a 4Xer! He would now be recovering and training for worlds and Olympics already with more time to heal up.
No other wrestler in our lifetime, could have done what LEE is doing.
