    Fred Savage and James Tolkan have great on screen chemistry in this episode. Outstanding performances by both actors in a story about the desire to overcome one's shortcomings. Savage shows a great range; first as the cocky wrestling champion of gym class, then as the frustrated whipping boy of the wrestling team. Tolkan is outstanding as the tough wrestling coach with a heart of gold.
