Very interesting and thanks for posting it. What are your thoughts about the first and only five time champ being added to this list?

Depending on how you wanted to structure it, I think the Mount Rushmore of American wrestling for a number of different reasons would be Dan Gable, Cael Sanderson, Jordan Burroughs, and Kurt Angle.

I think it’s closer than you’d think. If you ask the average person if they’ve heard of Kurt Angle or John Smith, even without WWE stuff I think Angle is more of a household name.

I had to look Angle's name up. I didnt follow collegiate wrestling back then or WWE. Smith has stayed very relevant to the NCAA and is more recognizable.

He is playing a little loose with his weights to squeeze guys in.

Uetake wrestled 130 which is the weight that would become 141.

Gable wrestled 130 (which became 141), 137 and 142 (which became 149).

Hodge wrestled 177 which would become 184.
