The National Wrestling Hall of Fame & Museum announced that the Legends interview with three-time national freestyle champion William B. Harlow, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Distinguished Member in 2016, can be heard on the Mat Talk Podcast Network.

The interview can be heard for free at halloffamelegends.org/2. It is also available via Stitcher, Spreaker, and Soundcloud as well as an RSS link for use in other third-party podcasting applications like Downcasts, BeyondPod and Podcast Republic. The podcast is also available as a free download on iTunes at halloffamelegends.org/itunes.

Harlow is believed to be the best wrestler to ever come from Tennessee, where he was a state champion. When he arrived at Oklahoma State, however, he felt as though he had a lot of catching up to do technically and spent his years in Stillwater as a "human sponge," absorbing and learning everything he could. With Distinguished Members Yojiro Uetake Obata, Bobby Douglas, and Gene Davis as teammates during his collegiate career, learning opportunities were scattered throughout the wrestling room daily. Harlow quickly gained a reputation as a slick and smooth wrestler, using technique rarely seen in a man of his size to become one of the greatest big men to wrestle at OSU.

Harlow finished second in his first trip to the NCAA finals as a sophomore in 1964. As a junior, he won the Big Eight Conference title, but again finished as runner-up in the national tournament. Finally, as a senior, he moved up to 191 pounds and compiled a 21-0-1 record and won both the Big Eight and NCAA championships. With Uetake and Davis, he led OSU to the national team title, the second of his tenure as a Cowboy. Overall, Harlow finished his collegiate career with a record of 54-5-2.

Harlow received the Lifetime Service to Wrestling award from the Oklahoma Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2005. In 2010, he was presented The Gallagher Award, given annually to an OSU wrestling alumnus who exemplifies the spirit and leadership eminent in the tradition of champions.

The interview is the fourth in the series of interviews with the greatest names in wrestling. Created to preserve the memory and legacy of the most influential individuals in wrestling, the Legends series is funded entirely from donations, which can be made at http://legends.mattalkonline.com/contribute/. If donations exceed production costs, additional funds will be donated to the Hall of Fame.

Legends interviews with Dr. Stanley Henson, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Distinguished Member in 1978, Arthur "Bucky" Maughan, who was inducted as a Distinguished Member in 2003, and John Irving, who received the Outstanding American award in 1992, are also available at http://legends.mattalkonline.com/.

Mat Talk will provide copies of the Legends interviews to the Hall of Fame for its archives.

Jason Bryant of the Mat Talk Podcast Network created the Legends interview concept, and also serves as the host and producer of the interviews. Bryant is president of the National Wrestling Media Association and has been honored for his work as both a broadcaster and writer, including receiving the Bob Dellinger Wrestling Writer of the Year award in 2007.
