Dennis William Hall (born February 5, 1971) is an American former Greco-Roman wrestler. Hall was a 10-time US National Champion, a World Champion, and 3-time USA Olympian. He won a silver medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
Hall attended Hartford Union High School and began his career by defeating a two-time senior state champion named Mark Riggs in the state finals as a freshman. Hall finished his prep career with a 146-1-1 prep record including 110 pins, earning three individual Wisconsin state titles. During his high school years he was also a three-time Junior National Greco Champion and World Team member. He was Wisconsin's first Dream Team All-American.
Hall attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison on a full scholarship for one year. He realized that in order for him to reach his full potential as an international Greco wrestler, he would need to train differently than he would for collegiate wrestling. He dropped out of school to train, travel and compete with the US Greco team. Hall was named USA Wrestling Man of the Year in 1995 as well as three time Greco-Roman athlete of the year in 1994, 1995 and 1996.
Hall also competed at the amateur wrestling vs submission grappling event The Contenders on October 11, 1997, losing to Joao Roque by decision.[1] He made his mixed martial arts debut on January 17, 1998 against Noboru Asahi, losing via armbar in the second round.[2]
Now retired from competitive wrestling, Hall lives in Plover, Wisconsin.
In 2011, Hall was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame as a Distinguished Member.[3]
