My $ is on Zain and I'll give you a year to put on 40 more and he'll still pound you...

It'll probably look like this:

Sadly, neither guy survived*, per:

I've never seen that throw on video before! Thanks Dogwelder. Met Chris Taylor at a wrestling camp in the 70s and have a picture of him and me somewhere in the archives. HE WAS HUGE.

I remember watching the 1972 Olympics live when the German hit that suplay on Taylor. I don't think I've ever been more amazed with a wrestling move--the risk he took pulling all of that weight onto himself!! My recollection is that the German weighed something like 275, but looked like a midget next to Taylor.
