President Lincoln
There is no reason for this story other than I stumbled on a small tidbit of information that I never knew- President Abraham Lincoln is enshrined in the Wrestling Hall of Fame. According to Historians, Abraham Lincoln has only one confirmed loss in nearly 300 wrestling matches. Bill Green, a store owner from New Salem, Illinois, once stated that "[Lincoln] can outrun, outlift, outwrestle and throw day any man in Sangamon Country." This statement came after he proved his worthiness by beating multiple opponents in just one day. Not only was he a fantastic wrestler, but it seems that he was a bit of a trash talker. It recorded that he once cried into a crowd of on-lookers- "I'm the big buck of this lick. If any of you want to try it, come on and whet your horns." President Lincoln now holds an "Outstanding American" honor in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
