About this "The Wonder Years" episode:
The Wonder Years - "Hulk Arnold" is the 15th episode of season 6 and it was aired in February 10, 1993.
After his P.E. teacher sees him pin all his classmates in gym class, Kevin is drafted to the wrestling team by Coach Silva (James Tolkan), whose tough work ethic makes him think twice about trying out. Even though Wayne and Jack think he's not committed to be on the team, Kevin sticks with it when Chuck, Jeff, and Winnie encourage him by telling him they'll be at his first match. But when the coach tests him out against the smallest and lightest teammate, Spider, Kevin soon realizes this isn't gym class anymore and isn't as good as he thinks. Then the coach himself challenges Kevin and when he doesn't give up easily, he actually makes the team. Thinking he's just going to sit on the bench, Silva makes a change and Kevin has to wrestle the best in the 140 pound weight class on the Spartans team, Doug Gurney, who pinned everybody he's faced. During the match, Kevin quickly score two points, then it was all downhill from there. After Doug whispers in his ear "give up, and make it easy on yourself", he doesn't and his shoulder never touches the mat once, getting by on his natural ability from gym class. Even though he loses 15-2 in front of his friends and father, Kevin tells the coach "Told you I was good!", earning his respect.
