Randy Lewis - Toughest Kid on the Block :: Ep 2 The Full Tilt Podcast

Hatch sits down with Olympic gold medalist and two-time NCAA champion Randy Lewis, one of the most dominant and entertaining wrestlers of his era. Randy shares the story behind his “Toughest Kid on the Block” mindset, how a simple pull-up challenge built the confidence that led to his first state title, and why he set one of the wildest goals in wrestling history — pinning every opponent for an entire season, a goal that turned into a national record with 45 straight pins. He also tells incredible stories about being recruited by his hero Dan Gable, what it felt like to pin a Russian world champion, and the unforgettable moment he stepped on the mat with Gable himself — only to get a humbling lesson in the practice room. If you love old-school wrestling stories, Olympic-level competition, and the mindset of champions, this episode is Full Tilt. 🎙 Full episode available on YouTube & Spotify Follow: @thefulltiltpodcast
