In the last edition of the Olympics in Tokyo, Gable Stevenson made his nation proud. He won the gold medal in 2021 in the heavyweight wrestling division. He earned a lot of praise for this and became a mainstream star of sorts. For a while, there was a tussle between UFC and WWE on who would get the opportunity to sign the wrestler to their company. Eventually, he signed for WWE and later would go on to sign as a defensive end for the Buffalo Bills in the NFL. Now, Mason Parris who will be competing in the heavyweight division for the 2024 Paris Olympics will be hoping to emulate Stevenson. Well, at least the part where Stevenson won the gold medal. Not sure if Parris has any ambition to participate in the NFL.
Weighing in at 125 kgs, Parris is a huge man. His wrestling coach in high school gave him the nickname which became synonymous with him, ‘King Parris’. He has completely embraced the moniker. The prime example of this is when he made his way into the trials and sported a hat saying ‘Parris in Paris’. He also added the Olympic rings in there.
Parris has said that Stevenson has pushed him to work harder and made him a better wrestler after they competed with each other. His first semester in his collegiate career was hampered due to s herniated disc in his neck. Whenever Parris has been fit to compete he has shown huge potential in the arena. He won the Dan Hodge Trophy for nation’s best wrestler. Through all of Parris’s achievements, his girlfriend has remained a constant. She has always been there for him as a pillar ever since they started dating almost ten years ago. They Here is more about her-
