Lincoln McIlravy

[psuflyguy]

Penn State fan but always loved watching McIlravy wrestle. Active from every position, strong as a oxe, and dangerous. Question - is he coaching anywhere?

 

[SCstunners]

I don't believe so. He lives in Coralville, IA and owns a bunch of hotels and his sons play basketball.....

 

[The catman]

Seems like calling someone dangerous and an Oxe could be potentially fatal.

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

Correct. Out of wrestling completely. Doing very well in the hotel business, however.

I recall from a Kyle Klingman interview that he stays away from wrestling semi-intentionally because he does not want to get get fully sucked-in as he's likely to do. It seems that he likened it to an alcoholic with drink, as if he needed to stay away for his own health.

Pretty sure he lives in, or near, tiny Solon, IA...just north of Iowa City. His two sons are pretty decent basketball players at Solon High School.

Bet with a week of training, he could still come in and kick some tail in the room. I still remember being crushed when Marinelli beat him at nationals in Carver. I thought he kind of got hosed in his Olympic semifinal also. He was a badass.

Hmmm, that Marinelli isn't related to a certain Marinelli who happens to be coming to Iowa next year....does it?

I think he got beat by a Steve Marinetti from Illinois.

Correct. Believe he's the head coach at Elmhurst College in Illinois.

 

[Fan In Black]

He is the wrestler that got me hooked on the sport.

Him and McGuiness on PBS College Wrestling got me started.

If anyone asks about the "Iowa style" just show them any video of McIlravey. Epitome.

 

[MadTown Hawk]

My favorite Hawk wrestler of all time. He made it look easy.
