Yep, I'm cancelling but will pay for trials I'm sure next year. Just hope I don't have to pay for 3 separate events. 2017 trials was probably the only time flo didn't fuck up, that was an amazing night of wrestling.
They just continued wrestling like nothing happened. Didn't even mention the fact that there was a 50 minute delay.
Calling Myles Martin the "8th ranked guy in the world" is so weird. It's literally just Flo doing the rankings. There is no chance in hell Myles is the 8th best guy in the world.
Yeah, just hop on a plane in a pandemic to fucking Texas... that was some WWE nonsense. Sadulaev ain’t got nothing to prove to a one time champ lol
Definitely a little but he was DTs current weight in the last Olympic cycle. He’s not a huge 96kg guy, but he’s plenty big enough to rag doll DT unless he agreed to a similar catch weight.
He was small in first match vs Snyder, he's looked like a very solid 97 the last 2 years. Only person on the planet I think has a chance vs him is J'Den and certainly not betting on him.
Chamizo saying he doesn't know who the 2x returning world champ at the non-olympic weight above him is.....is an odd tactic. With that being said, Chamizo seems like one of the most likeable dudes in the sport.
Dake really likes hearing himself talk. Hoping to see a better Chamizo, last 2 years he's been kinda meh after looking unbeatable in 17.
what the fuck was Chamizo doing at the end. Good match, Dake got a very long time to get that gut wrench.
Dake wins 4-3 in an entertaining match with only a couple spurts of action. Two of the best four guys in the world, that was a lot of fun.
JB is the best Don't like the whole shit talking but Dake talks so much for a guy that's like 1-8 vs him
The trolling that is taking place between them is unreal. I totally believe that they are driving each other to be great right now. Everyone thought that JB was done after the 2020 olympics. The olympics get DELAYED by a year, and what does JB do? Announces he's wrestling through 2024. Now Dake is saying he might be done after THIS cycle cycle? What on Earth! I can't wait to see these guys wrestle at trials. It's going to be an absolute battle.
Hard to argue with this, but Dake always seems to do what is needed to win matches. The weight and the time on top certainly seemed in his favor tonight though. It was definitely closer than I thought it was going to be.
My prediction which I didn't say to anyone was a comfortable 4-2 Dake win. Dake was the aggressor early but seemed a bit scared to fully commit to shots, shame it was determined on a bullshit turn. Don't think Sidakov will be worried if he watches that.
This is an absolutely wild slate for WNO. Gotta be their best one yet on paper. I haven't looked at rankings or anything in a solid year, but just on paper that looks like it could legitimately be #1 vs #2 in every single match. October 3rd. Match Order 138 Shayne Van Ness vs Jordan Williams 138: Joel Vandervere vs Jesse Mendez 126: Jordan Titus vs Dean Peterson 152: Victor Voinovich vs Jagger Condomitti 285: Kyonte Hamilton vs Chase Horne 220: Kyle Haas vs Nick Feldman 145: Cody Chittum vs Wyatt Henson 195: Seth Shumate vs Tate Picklo 73 kg: Kennedy Blades vs Amit Elor 132: Nic Bouzakis vs Ryan Crookham 160: Paddy Gallagher vs Travis Mastrogiovanni 120: Richie Figueroa vs Drake Ayala 170: Alex Facundo vs Cael Valencia 138: Van Ness/Williams vs Vandervere/Mendez
Tom Ryan said Echemendia wants to wrestle at 141 and that's where he will be, he'll wrestle off Dylan D'Emilio and the loser can move down. He also said Echemendia must be hollow because he looks like he's 180 pounds but he steps on the scale and he's nowhere near that. He said Sasso is staying at 149 but "there are some things happening that might impact that".
Nato now a coach at Duke Iowa just got rid of 4 sports-obviously not wrestling. But with the Big10 not playing football, wondering if any schools will cut their program
Uhhhhh this was apparently before ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE AT THIS FUCKING WEDDING!!!! From English language article:
After doing some friar juggsian research, the above is not from an english language article. It's literally a direct russian-to-english google translate from the original Russian article, which explains some of the wording. Still gonna need those "frivolous" pics though. SugarShaun find me Madina Pliyeva noods
NLWC/UM Cliff Keen going to put a show on for us Sept. 19. Flo is on the outside looking in, interestingly.
Cool event, but it's pretty funny that Cael scheduled matchups in which the NLWC guys are going to be favorites in every single one. I think the greater revelation is the fact that a wrestling club is putting together its own matches and monetizing it. The $$$ gap widens.
