So the fine is $0?

None of those results independently would surprise me, but 7 champs seems a bit aggressive.

Important to note, for the sake of accuracy and those who don't read the story but only the read and run with the headline and social media tidbits, but the only part that changed was the fine. The courts upheld that he/they committed 'brazen fraud', as were the sanctions against Trump, his son, and Weisellberg. The judgement of fraud was not thrown out, but rather the ruling was that the amount of fine was excessive. I know, I know, I'm suffering from some huge case of TDS.....but the facts remain the facts regardless.

The mother in law concept spans all cultures and languages.

You write in your sig "I’m a Trump minion," and see if I complain? Here, in this thread, I’m only talking wrestling. If you really want to discuss my sig, go to the Non Wrestling Topics forum.

Why won’t other Arabs / egypt help Palestinians ? I don’t think anyone answered it

It's not like having to deal with Caleb Henson and SVN is a walk in the park.

Shocking not shocking. Fabricated bullshit again.

I think it's valid to say that USA wrestling is the healthiest country right now in terms of potential future success. We're loaded with young talent. We should be excited and cross our fingers real tight. We're possibly at the dawn of a golden age.

I’m with you on that one. But the folks saying this stuff don’t actually know where we stand - their whole point is just to insult us in the worst way possible. I never thought I’d end up using a slogan I’ve always been against, just to push back against a bunch of racists.

Appeals court threw out Trump’s ~$500 million fine from New York trial. Not reduced, thrown out. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/21/trump-fraud-new-york-appeals.html

I don't think we see Ono this year. Think he RS's. 125: LL - Champ 133: MB - Champ 141: Nagao/Davis - R12 149: SVN - Champ 157: Duke - Champ 165: MM - Champ 174: LH - Champ 184: Rocco - 4th 197: Barr - Champ 285: Mirasola - 4th

8 champs seems to be a bit too optimistic no?

The original point was that Stanich will not go 149 to avoid having to beat Mendez to win a title. Not whether or not he'd duck him in the regular season. If he goes 149 it's because he's a 149 pounder, not to get an easier road.

I agree with your weight assessments but disagree on the results. Blaze, Ono and Duke will all be champs. That’s my prediction.

Nope. They have been known to duck though...

no

DC is so safe now that paid professional protestors (woke commie freeloaders) can safely do their thing without fear of being shot.

We (the community) have been saying that for years. I simply don’t believe it. Look at participation numbers at the high school or college level. Why is there dramatically fewer athletes competing in free ….. as a 16 year old high school kid for example. Good sport is good sport. People would watch it or attend if the product was fantastic. MMA for example. Good product. People pay to watch it. It came from nothing….. To now super stardom.

Prediction for next year: 125: Lilledahl - Champ 133: Blaze - Finalist 141: Ono - 3rd 149: Van Ness - Champ 157: Duke - Finalist 165: Mesenbrink - Champ 174: Haines - Champ 184: Welsh - Finalist 197: Barr - Champ HWT: Mirasola - 3rd

Hamas controlled Gaza and not the West Bank. Maybe I'm mistaken but why would Gaza be given a promise about a territory they have nothing to do with.
