With the 53rd Ken Kraft Midlands set to kick off on December 29,
Episode 232 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast visits with Denny
McCabe, one of the original champions from the first event back in
1963.
McCabe won what was then known as the Western Suburban YMCA Open in
La Grange, Ill., at 190 pounds. One of four champions from Southern
Illinois University (Carbondale), it ended up being the highlight
of his collegiate career as injuries kept him from postseason
competition.
McCabe, who still remains active in the wrestling discussions to
this day as "Denny" on TheMat.com forums, goes back in time to talk
about the Chicagoland wrestling scene back then and how cool it was
to have a holiday event so close for home.
McCabe also breaks down his international career in the Armed
Forces and working with his college teammate, World and Olympic
Team member Larry Kristoff.
With the Olympics coming up, there's also a special deal going on
from Rocket Languages, one of the fastest ways to learn a foreign
language. With the Olympics in Rio, it's a perfect time to get your
Portuguese on to prepare. Or maybe you want to go the
Spanish route, or the even more mysterious
Russian.
