SooperBod Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Has anyone started listening to the ESPN series Pin Kings on iTunes? I'm through the first there episodes and it is pretty interesting. It is the story of two best friends who were All American Wrestlers at Palmetto High School in the mid 1970s. The "heavyweight" (I think they said was 190 lbs. and wanted to wrestle in the 1980 Olympics) went to Georgia. The "lightweight" (110 lbs.) went to West Point. One ends up working for the DEA and the other is one of the biggest drug dealers in the US in the 80s. If you have some time to kill it is worth a listen.

warsawwrestling Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I always thought it was ironic, how wreslers are the best at what they do. (Good or bad) SooperBod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Here is the full ESPN article. http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/17320826/the-incredible-true-story-two-wrestling-teammates-involved-miami-drug-trade I believe they said their would be a few other items to be released over the next few days. Maybe interviews and a mini-Documentery type story on ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
