WOW! That's crazy development.

Great to have the GOAT back!!

"First I would like to thank the University of Minnesota for their time, their effort and their persistence with me to push me to the man I am today," Steveson said in his comeback video.
"Minnesota has given me everything, and now it's my turn to give it right back to them: to put my feet back on the wrestling mat, to be the champ, one more time."

Steveson has the opportunity to return by utilizing NCAA waivers due to an Olympic redshirt and the extra year of eligibility that was granted in 2020 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. He is expected to make his season debut on Nov. 24 against Campbell.

"Gable has the burning desire to compete for the Maroon and Gold one last time," Eggum said. "We are thankful he has chosen the opportunity to add to his historic legacy with our program. He is one of the best to ever compete in the sport of wrestling, and we are grateful for the impact has had at our program."

Go Gophers!!
 

Amazing! Should be great fun & a wonderful way to irritate Iowa—maybe Verne Gagne is next, at least spiritually.
 




What is his status with the WWE? Is he still under contract with them? He never seemed like a fit for their circus like, bigger than life atmosphere.
