Every good wrestler is weird

I see this guy age 65 alone in a cabin in the woods spending his days peaking out a tiny window with a rifle searching for movement.

"You don't wanna see me anywhere" is the hardest line ever dropped

Just imagine if this dude did coke

Iowa has some real special people. Spencer Lee with pokemon, Austin Desanto whose a hothead, and Gilman whose soul is from a Vietnam vet.

"Not you John smith I respect you" 😂😂😂

I like when he says “dude you don’t want to see me anywhere”

This is the type of dude to end up on doomsday Preppers

I work in mental health. This guy sounds like one of my patients.

He knows to respect John Smith

I hope Gillman wrestles for a long time, but he could make an absolute fortune in MMA. He’s the exact kind of guy the UFC 125-pound weight class could use with his personality, ability to talk, intensity, charisma, etc. He would be the perfect “heel” to some of the boring goody-two-shoes in the lighter weights that absolutely refuse to do anything at all to draw attention to a fight. He would make big big money.

I mean his personality is perfect for a sport like this.

Love his attitude! This man will dog your ass out and not give a fuck

"not you jon smith" lol

This is the first wrestler to show signs of CTE

What does he think this is, a recon mission in Fallujah?

I saw this video promoted and watched it. It is interesting how paranoid he is. That got me remembering what happened to me. I grew up in gymnastics from age 4 in Ukraine then kept going in USA when I got adopted and moved. I was way much more muscular than other boys in my school because of gymnastics at age 4. When I was age 16 I was riding my bike on country roads near our house when some older high school boys found me and took me into the cornfields. They held me in a full nelson and took off my gym shorts and spent a lot of time working over all 4 rows of my abs and obliques and pecs. They ran over the front time of my bike and I had to walk over 3 miles back home carrying my bike with my abs severely worked over. I became fearful after that and trained my abs to be rock hard and took a lot of abuse from guys I knew to protect me from taking abuse from guys who wanted to injure me. I was paranoid for the last 2 years of high school. I'm age 19 and have worked through that paranoia. Gilman's world of wrestling might be dangerous. I never thought those guys were trying to keep from competing in gymnastics. They just didn't like it that I did gymnastics. And they were jealous.

Oh and btw... love this kid. He is the type of personality I would gravitate too. Guys like this become the best friends. That always show up when you call. Loyal and always display true brotherly love.

He knows better than to disrespect John Smith lol!

He has a ton of mre's at home....

Im sick of seeing “ 0 ncaa titles “ . Then how bout you go wrestle D1 and get one, oh wait you can’t . At least win a state championship before coming for Gilman who may I add has 4 *cough cough*

the most visibly competitive person

It's always the smallest guys starting trouble.

And now Gilman he's a coach at Okie State. Life is so funny like that!

Situational awareness

No bullshit, I found out my old biology teacher is actually related to Thomas Gilman.

Didn't John Smith get nailed from behind while giving an interview in a wrestling room?

Dude, you don’t wanna see me anywhere.

"I'm gonna beat ur guys up😠... not you john smith😬I respect you🥺"

I love Gilman till this day, I’ll never forget this video 😂

You guys at FloWrestling are really cool ! I wrestle too but in Germany, were I live. I found you guys on instagram!

This is a wrestler who makes wrestling a lifestyle, he said he’s afraid to turn his back to an “enemy” because it shows weakness, he treats it like a war and he wants it to be his battle.

“Not you John Smith,” 🤣 aaaaah that’s great. 😂

He’s starting to grow past this stuff. My Dad said it best: “Gilman would not be funny if he was a 197 pounder.” Lol

Piccin-whatever-his-face-is

WHO’S HERE AFTER THE NEWS OF GILMAN BEING ASSISTANT COACH FOR “THE POKE’S”, OH THE IRONY 😂😂

My wrestling coach didn’t allow us to sit up with our arms bracing us from behind because his career was ended by him doing that and some heavy weights falling on his arms and messing him up really badly so I don’t see this as crazy at all

Desanto 1.0

"They might try to take out my knees." Relax dude. You're on the knee-takin'-out team.

I am NOT on scholarship for physics, engineering, or chemistry.

What the hell wrestling room has this kid been hanging out in jeez lol I love how half of the line up during the hand shake had no idea what was going on or seemed to care lol

You better respect me sonny.

Entertaining and interesting confessional interview

Wow Iowa, what a character you have to represent your program. Really seems like a respectable young man.

I don’t want people making funny faces behind me!! Hahah, is this dude serious?

Does anyone know where to find the video of the post match altercation?

I love Thomas Gilman. Great character

Wow he’s got some mental issues.

And now he’s the assistant head coach at OSU. What an amazing time to be a fan of wrestling

Now he’s the assistant at Oklahoma state!

best interview of all time.

1:55 Ahh so this segment gave us the classic - "Dude, you don't want to see me anywhere" :)

Stay safe, don't worry about the interview

"im gonna beat you guys up... Y'know... Not you John Smith I respect you"

Respect this young man. 👍😎.

Common sense and street sense has nothing to do with paranoia. It would be an honor to have this guy stand by my side or watch my six anytime.

Should be a video in description of this entire meet.

“Dude you don’t wanna see me anywhere”

I like this guy. Reminds me of my Marine buddies haha

“You don’t want to see me anywhere”…….Great line….

Really? Worried about funny faces?! LoL

Every wrestler on both squads looked tough as nails

Save all that aggression and waiting to prove yourself for when your on the mat! When your off the mat stay calm and respectful as the best of the best usually do!

Just be who you are respect!

I realized that at 1:45, when Gilman says "that Pichin guy," he could have meant Nick Piccininni, the guy who pinned Spencer Lee? Can anyone confirm?

This guy is crazy. I love it

"That would hurt" "That would like..hurt me"

This attitude is great for this sport, but not so much for real life. These uber-confrontational, uber sensitive hyper masculine guys often turn out to be bullies who want to fight anyone they think looks at them wrong.

He did look you in the eye. Lol

Just like a pimple on the left someone said something and he didn’t like it lol😂

This has aged really well with Gilman’s new coaching gig

Gilman is the man! 💯

To be honest he did look him right in the eyes when he said "See you at the nationals"

i feel like this guy fits the "that crazy ride or die friend" mold

“ Not you John Smith “

If there ain't sore tempers after a good duel, it wasn't competitive

This is so common and never talked about

Young man was ready for combat. Should never have gone into the enemy’s territory under a press pass!

Very smart Thomas, very

This is the guy that survives the zombie apocalypse

"Ya it's it's little crazy but I'm a little crazy"~Thomas Gilman

Issues

He seems like a good kid, nothing wrong with some competitive trash talk

Hahahaha “sorry if I did say that.... didn’t mean it”

Dude is crazy lol Love it.

I don't like people behind me cause I can't tell what's their next move are you gonna slam or ride the time

And now he’s a cowboy let’s go!

Dude!!! Where Do You Think You Are??? Prison??? Im SURE You Wont Get Stabbed at a Wrestling Com...

Wow. He’s out there

Gilmans easily my favourite wrestler 😂. Doesn't give a damn, tough as they come, seems like a good dude too.

0:58 oh believe me we know

Everyone thought Suriano was a great wrestler until Gilman ate his lunch and made it look easy.

I love this rivalry!

Get this guy into the UFC.. what a character. 😂

Amazing personality, this is what wrestling needs when it comes to media. Wrestling needs attention!

This foo is weird. Truth hurts .

Gilman was a clown in college but appears to have grown much at the world level. He sounds nothing like this today. If David Taylor vouches for him, he's gotta be a decent guy.

I mean.......he has a point

Thomas Gilman is real cute. So dramatic. Should have her own reality tv show.

So immature
