The fourth heavyweight championship title in Big Ten history, the Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Tournament, the 2025 Wrestler of the B1G Championship—Gable Steveson’s Sunday night could not have been better than this. Now add the fact that all such achievements came on a day when Gable’s Minnesota locked horns with Penn State, the wrestling program with most national laurels. And did we miss signifying another glorified part? On Sunday, Gable became the first heavyweight wrestler to win four B1G heavyweight titles. Impressive and you don’t need our stamp on that! But, but, but, on the same day, the Olympian had to face criticism on social media. The reason? Well, reasons.
On March 9, Gable Steveson’s achievement made a special place on social media. After all, in the final, he overpowered Greg Kerkvilet to win the title. But the fans spotted the flaws even on such a day. One such wrestling fan posted, “Started college in 2018. Left and went pro. Should not be wrestling in college. Absurd.”
