  1. He’s like a 17th year senior…. Hasn’t announced if he’s even coming back so you could be wrong.
  2. I guess jb is lucky other guy ducked him and moved up a weight. He was prolly worried his career was gonna get ended lol. post the whole vid already. Y’all whining about the end quite a bit but not showing any vids. Anyone notice Cstar quitting in the consis? At the Olympic trials not interested in making the world team after calling everyone out? Not a good look.
  3. Clearly mm did nothing wrong in that second video Lol
  4. Or……….. we could totally debate the semi final imbalance in an infinite loop until we’re all dead.
  5. Pd3 caught a lot of flack for skipping the consi matches. Is sort of what I was trying to point out.
  6. Anyone know where Cstar was for his second bout?
  7. Why not treat the semi bye as the 1 seed. That’s essentially what they are going for stylistically no ? Ignore ish the seeds that help facilitate the 1 seed getting to the semi and it looks like this (Pre Vito skipping I’m just not re drawing) similar to fide chess candidates world champ tourney The returning champ sits in the finals…. While the next 8 qualifiers play 14 total games (double round robin) for the right to play the returning champ. Sometimes (last year I think) the returning champ does not play. In that case whoever wins the challenge tourney is world champ.
  8. He hates going to school/classes no? Would he meet the admissions requirements?
  9. He still has time to drop out. Not sure why he bothers at 86 he had almost no chance at 74. Otoole and Carr just dropped out due to injury too.
  10. Wonder if he has the tools to piss on anyone’s grave up a weight. What’s your vote on whose career will he end up at 86?
  11. he is a one time confirmed cheater, five-time Big 12 champion, a four-time NCAA runner-up, a U.S. Open champion, Pan Am and Pan Am Games champion, and UWW world silver medalist while part of the Cowboys. fix’ed it.
  12. In big companies. Often for big promotions (like director to vp) they give you an interim title…. Like senior director or they keep your director title to see how you do before allowing the title promo???? Something like that maybe. Or it’s something nefarious and they don’t wanna commit to this.
  13. The real question here is are Forrest or Basset ever going to be able to beat a chimpanzee in a fight like some former PSU wrestling standouts?
  14. Rapinoe is an America hating tool bag. It has nothing to do with whose genitalia she likes to cozy up to.
  15. If you fix the seeds. I.e medal winner #1. Make sure #1 has bye to semi… I.e no 8,9,16 seed. Aren’t the matchups in quarters the same as it is here ? Semis are flipped though but this doesn’t seem all that wrong.
  16. Will people add Greco training to their arsenal to get better at push outs
  17. So is the argument. Freestyle is a far superior product. But the viewership and attendance is lower for big tourneys cause of university loyalties? how would you explain mma going from nothing to better (financially) than boxing which used to be the ppv king?
  18. From a Greco standpoint. What happens when the international people get their way and get a pushout in folkstyle. Will people partially train more in Greco for easier points?
  19. A) If you can’t get past your girlfriend making homophobic jokes about this sport you shouldn’t have a vote on what the sport should look like going forward. B) what gets you close to true fighting? Riding to a fall / quasi submission / real domination. Or that flippy flippy stuff in freestyle. Someone earlier or in an other thread trying to tie wrestling mma success both in terms of getting a real base to move to the ufc and entertainment value. I counted the championship bracket in today’s ott qualifier. Tech falls / falls vs decisions. 75 tf/fall va 35 decisions. Almost 68.1% of the matches ended in some flippy leg lace situation. I’m an Iowa fan and I don’t remember Warner getting two tech falls in a row ever. Let alone two tech falls and scoring 8 points in his next match. You still didn’t look up the freestyle world championship us based tv viewership. Did they put it live on ESPN during march madness? Of course they didn’t cause it isn’t a product people want to watch in mass.
  20. I would like you to show the message board the tv ratings of the senior men’s world freestyle championships vs the ncaa wrestling championships. Someone already posted the ncaa version.
  21. I meant men’s. I also didn’t clarify so good / valid point. But if men’s high school numbers are shrinking over time it will decrease the people who are interested in watching mens ncaa folkstyle going forward. International viewer ship will slow first….. then folkstyle. Unfortunately. Gotta turn the trend around. I didn’t do the math. But what’s the decline over 10 years. 10/12% ish? That’s not insignificant.
  22. I’m surprised sort of. I thought participation is growing. It is not. With the popularity of the ufc and guys like Joe Rogan saying wrestling is one of the if not the best base for mma that surprises me. I wonder if there are growing numbers (for wrestling) in mma/bjj gyms. I know they are popping up all over in my area. At least those numbers would not be tracked by the below link. My soap box. Please stop trying to turn the rules into freestyle. That will kill the sport domestically. (Imo). 4 point turns didn’t stop stalling. 3 point take downs didn’t. Changing rules on top to try for a pin didn’t. Mandatory (silly) 5 counts everyone exploits didn’t. Those convoluted going out of bounds rules didn’t. Just call stalling! And end 4 hour challenge bricks. https://www.statista.com/statistics/268028/participation-in-us-high-school-wrestling/
