With a tattoo like “The World is Yours,” it is not a surprise what Gable Steveson has gone on to achieve. Don’t mistake us; the man is covered in tattoos, but perhaps none is more appropriate than the above quote. After all, for years now, he has made the world his. In fact, just this Sunday, under the bright lights of the Big 10 finals, he once again won. With a solid 10-3 victory, Gable vanquished the reigning heavyweight champion, Greg Kerkvliet, to win his 4th title. But while some people had an issue with this win, the champ seems to be having a humorous moment at their expense. How so?
Well, on the “Locked On Podcast Network,” a few people were suggesting that Kerkvliet could be the one to beat him. “As good as Gable is, I think Greg can beat him.” As if! Steveson wasn’t about to let those comments slide. So, what did he do? After winning, he took to Instagram on 12th March, sharing a series of photos from his championship journey. The first shot showed him sporting the championship belt like a true champ. The next photo had him walking confidently toward the ring.
Then came a few shots of him posing with the belt, flexing in his victory. But it was the last but one photo that made the statement—one that subtly called out those doubting him. In it, he included a quote from the podcast where they said Kerkvliet could beat him, clearly showing they were way off base. But wait. We all know how that turned out, right? Well, let’s just say Gable was low-key mocking them.
Gable Stevson was making sure everyone knew who was really on top! He even captioned the post with, “First 4X Heavyweight Big Ten Champion. My greatest performance still awaits. See you in Philly!” Gable isn’t just about the win; he’s about showing everyone that he’s far from finished, and if anything, his best is still to come. It’s clear—he’s not just collecting titles. No, he’s making a point.
And anyone who doubts him better think again. While there are a fair bit of people who blame him for competing with younger competitors, this rumor has been proven false. After all, his opponent in the finals was 24, just like Gable. After seeing him in action and how he’s carrying himself, fans are full of support and anticipation. They are eager to see what he does next.

Steveson made history as the first heavyweight in Big Ten history to win four titles, becoming just the 19th wrestler to do so. His dominant 10-3 victory over defending national champ Greg Kerkvliet, snapping his 38-match win streak, added to the excitement. Steveson remains undefeated this season, with a perfect 6-0 record against top-10 opponents and 14-0 overall.
His 66 consecutive wins have now surpassed Dustin Schlatter’s streak, making it the second-longest in Gopher history, with only Cole Konrad’s 76-match streak ahead of him. On top of that, Steveson was named First Team All-Big Ten and Outstanding Wrestler of the Championships, helping prove that Minnesota wrestling is on fire, with three Gophers making it to the finals!
Another fan chimed in, saying, “THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND, HE’S THE BEST IN THE WORLD!” and someone else added, “Let’s go champ .” The hype around Gable Steveson is electric right now. Next up? The NCAA Championships will take place in Philadelphia between March 20 and March 22. Will Gable succeed in extending his undefeated title run at the NCAA Championships in Philadelphia?
This guy’s already an Olympic gold medalist, a two-time NCAA heavyweight champ, and a two-time Hodge Trophy winner. That makes him the best in college wrestling, no questions asked. But what’s next for him? Gable’s impressive career achievements indicate he will continue his path of success without any signs of slowing down. The future of this absolute legend will be exciting to watch since his accomplishments have only begun.
