Well, the reason I didn't list Falkender as the best is that he could do whatever the heck he wanted to. I don't know if Stan would remember this or not but once at the state tourney in Beloit while he was coaching at Ellis I was sitting by him and we were watching Rory wrestle and I made the comment that he reminded me of someone and he laughed and told me he should cause he grew up right next to him and then it made sense to me. I have coached against or seen most of the best this state had to offer since 1965 and brother Stan Falkender could do it all. Rory was a dead leg wrestler. Stan could go whatever way you wanted to go. It was sort of a pick your poison kind of deal with him. He was really a beautiful wrestler to watch, as was Rory but with Rory you knew exactly what you were going to get. It didn't do you any good, but you knew what he was bringing and it was the cross-body ride (or pin in his case lol)
