Guys, I went exploring.
All this talk about the GearBear in the past few days led me to go searching for GearBear highlights on the web. I watched a few of his high school wrestling matches, and they are pretty amazing. He is easily the best heavyweight to come out of KS since Jeff Boyle (former Cincinnati Bengal), and might have even been better than Boyle. I mean, the guy just dominated in national quarter- and semifinal matches, which never happens. Usually those matches are pretty even, and The GearBear would have won 100 times out of 100.
Anyway, in those matches, the GearBear just pounds on a guy's head until the dude basically drops to his knees and lets Geary get the takedown. He must be unreal strong. An IRL pal reminded me that Geary's style was eerily similar to Kuma of Tekken 3 fame. (

Therefore, I submit for the approval of the Midnight Society, a secondary nickname for The GearBear: Kuma.While watching GearBear tear through lesser athletes, I also noticed that he had commented on some of the videos. I clicked on his YouTube profile to try to find a copy of his national championship match (still can't find it), and noticed that he had 'liked' a video titled "How to Make and Origami Rose." I mean, how adorable is that? (That's our GearBear!)
Therefore, I submit for the approval of the Midnight Society a tertiary nickname for The GearBear: The Origami Rose.Guys, I really love Will "The GearBear" Geary, aka Kuma, aka The Origami Rose. I'm excited to watch him win the hearts and minds of all KSUCat fans. He may be The One Cat that #1cat has been waiting for.
IRL friends of W"TGB"G/K/TOR please feel free to add more adorable stories/nicknames. I'm specifically looking at you, @Winters and @Tatown Townies.
