  1. Past hour
  2. WrestlingRasta has to be happy about that.
  3. You didn’t have to look for the leftists that said it about Kirk, they proudly promoted it , flaunted it.
  4. Depending on local laws; criminal mischief; vandalism; with possible enhancement for bio-hazard or dangerous substances.
  5. Oh I’m sure you can find some people saying that.
  6. What conservatives are not saying is that they can understand why he killed them and they should have expected to be killed for what they said. That it’s their own fault.
  7. Today
  8. Wait, do people in the entertainment industry create personas and public perceptions that they try to protect? With some weird notion that it can help their careers long term? You’d think they were in some business about the ‘make believe.’ What a bunch of a-holes. @Hammerlock3 - thank you for pulling that veil back.
  9. For the gamblers in the crowd... If the pre-season ranks listed above for the twenty wrestlers holds up to be their seeds at the NCAA tournament (they won't), then the over/under for total AA's would be 14.5 (14.7 to be precise). Will 5 of them get injured or under-perform their pre-season expectations enough to make 10 a reasonable O/U at this point? Sure. I don't know. But if you can remove injuries from the denominator then I would definitely take the over.
  10. Not my favorite card ever but I think they did the best they could with their options. favorite matchups: Zinkin assuming he beats Munarretto vs Sidun Raney vs Bassett Mocco vs Merill Jeter vs Singer Raney vs Mendoza (Mendoza has looked really freaking good this summer) picks: Zinkin over Munarretto Miller over Dhabolt (teched him twice at elite 8 duals) Mills over Kenny Medlin over Howard (Medlin is going to be really good in college) Waters over Hodgins Mills over Ross Jeter over singer (Really high on both guys they deserve more shine, Jeter is a bad dude) Wolbert over Dekraker Mendoza over Raney (o/u 25.5 points scored I will take the over Raney wrestled 121 in the middle of September and has likely been primarily focuse on greco this summer both of those things give Mendoza the edge for me in an other wise very very close match) Zinkin over Sidun (coming out party for Zinkin I think he wins both matches convincingly) Big hoss over Mocco (that boys too big) Raney over Bassett ( I think he gets an early lead and Bo makes a few mistakes trying to get back in it and it ultimately costs him)
  11. Which is what 95%+ of people said about Charlie Kirk’s killer. The difference is that whenever there appears to be a politically motivated attack perpetrated by someone on the left, many conservatives try to blame the left as a whole. But when there appears to be a politically motivated attack perpetrated by someone on the right, they claim it’s not indicative of a broader trend. I agree with the second statement, but you can’t have it both ways. Heck sometimes when there appears to be a politically motivated attack by someone on the right like in the case of Vance Boelter, conservatives STILL try to blame it on the left.
  12. Ozturk wasn’t supporting terrorists. Did you know very little fentanyl in the US comes from Venezuela?
  13. What are the odds Ech comes out and beats Jesse and absolutely turns the 141 landscape on its head?
  14. Here is something you and your ilk have a hard time doing....this is absolutely terrible, they better hold that person responsible to the full extent of the law!! Thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families.
  15. Ayala still doesn't want that smoke and we all know Crookham doesn't wrestle he just goes backwards I guess that includes all-star matches too. Byrd is the word and about to be a 2x all-star winner
  16. Sunday's Journeymen Fall Classic in Schenectady, New York promises to deliver fireworks across multiple weight classes, but none more explosive than the loaded 113 pound division. What we're witnessing isn't just a tournament bracket; it's a preview of the future of American wrestling at the lighter weights The depth at this weight class reads like a who's who of prep wrestling royalty. Xavier Seabury, Chase Dubuque, Anthony Curlo, Jake Benyo, Paden Alyea, and Reid Grandmason headline a field that could legitimately produce six different champions on any given day. Each brings unique credentials and proven ability to perform under pressure. The Frontrunner Xavier Seabury of North Babylon enters Sunday as the wrestler to beat. His US Open National Championship at U15 Freestyle, where he dominated elite competition, represents the most impressive individual achievement in this loaded field. While freestyle and folkstyle present different challenges, a Fargo-level championship carries tremendous weight in assessing elite talent. The New York freshman's technical arsenal translates perfectly between wrestling styles, and his Section 11 championship proves his folkstyle credentials remain elite. His victory over Paden Alyea at Fargo showcased his ability to score consistently against top competition, though the 11-2 result requires context. Nine of his eleven points came from stepouts, non-controlled exposures, a step-over leg laces, and feet-to-back takedowns out of bounds. While these scoring opportunities won't exist in Sunday's folkstyle event, Seabury's underlying technical ability and competitive drive remain formidable. His consistent national rankings and ability to peak for major tournaments make him the logical favorite entering Schenectady. The Physical Advantage Chase Dubuque represents perhaps the most dangerous wrestler in the bracket, and his physical maturity sets him apart in a significant way. As a senior competing at 113 pounds, Dubuque brings a level of physical development that carries tremendous weight at this level. The Delran, New Jersey product's strength and conditioning advantages become magnified against younger competition. What makes Dubuque particularly dangerous is his southpaw attack. As one of the pure lefties in the field, he presents unique challenges that many opponents rarely face. His ability to score from the outside with a lefty swing single creates constant threat, while his lefty high crotch provides close-quarters offense. These techniques, refined through his Fargo Junior Freestyle All-American experience, give him multiple pathways to points against any opponent. His NJ high school record includes quality victories over nationally-ranked opponents, and his recent performances suggest he's hitting peak form at the perfect time. The combination of physical maturity, technical versatility, and championship experience makes him a legitimate threat to emerge from this loaded field. The Blair Effect Anthony Curlo brings the pedigree and training that comes with representing perennial powerhouse Blair Academy. The New Jersey prep school has a long history of producing some of the best young talent in the country, and Curlo exemplifies the technical precision and tactical awareness that defines Blair wrestling. What sets Curlo apart is his positional wrestling and defensive awareness. He holds position exceptionally well and relies on his Blair training to avoid coming out of position and giving up meaningless points. This defensive foundation was on full display in his NHSCA finals appearance against Jake Benyo, where only one point was scored in the entire match. Interestingly, that lone point came when Curlo made the tactical decision to cut Benyo loose for an escape in the second period, demonstrating the calculated risk-taking. The daily training environment at Blair, facing elite competition in practice, provides preparation that should serve him well against this loaded field. The Eastern PA Grinder Jake Benyo of West Scranton embodies everything that makes eastern Pennsylvania wrestling legendary. The stereotypical eastern PA wrestler, Benyo's cross wrist tilts are absolutely elite, as demonstrated in his performance against Vincenzo Mannello where his top prowess was on full display. His NHSCA Freshman National Championship victory over Anthony Curlo tells a fascinating story of tactical wrestling. The only point scored came when Curlo cut Benyo loose for an escape in the second period, meaning Benyo's ability to neutralize Curlo's offense and force that tactical decision proved decisive. This type of grinding, positional wrestling exemplifies the eastern PA style that has produced countless champions. The Pennsylvania sophomore's training at Mat Assassins Wrestling Club has refined his natural grinding ability into a complete skill set. His cross wrist tilts provide a constant threat from top position, while his defensive awareness and ability to win low-scoring matches make him dangerous against any style of wrestler. The Multi-Style Master Paden Alyea's dual-style state championships in both freestyle and Greco demonstrate technical versatility that makes him dangerous in any format. The Skyline High School junior's victory over Anthony Curlo at the America's Cup Fall Duals proved his ability to score consistently against elite competition. His dominant 10-0 tech over the number one seed at Fargo showcased the offensive firepower that makes him dangerous in any bracket. While his loss to Seabury in freestyle competition might raise questions, the format differences and his proven folkstyle credentials suggest Sunday could produce different results. The Perfect Foundation Reid Grandmason's undefeated freshman season and New Hampshire state championship represent the type of consistent excellence that often translates to breakthrough performances at national events. The Exeter High School product's perfect record demonstrates both technical proficiency and the mental approach necessary for sustained success. His regular participation in national-level tournaments provides the experience base necessary to compete with this elite field, while his youth suggests significant upside potential. The Format Factor Sunday's folkstyle format creates fascinating strategic considerations for wrestlers accustomed to competing across multiple styles. The emphasis on control, riding time, and traditional takedowns favors wrestlers with strong positional awareness and grinding ability. This could particularly benefit wrestlers like Curlo, whose Blair Academy training emphasizes positional control and avoiding unnecessary risks. The absence of freestyle's step-out and exposure scoring removes some weapons from wrestlers like Seabury, while potentially favoring the grinding, positional style that characterizes elite folkstyle wrestling. Dubuque's lefty attack becomes even more valuable in folkstyle, where opponents have less time to adjust and adapt. Championship Implications What makes this bracket particularly compelling is its preview of the future 106-pound landscape. Many of these wrestlers have the ability to drop down for the postseason, making Sunday's results a potential roadmap for state tournaments and beyond. The head-to-head results and stylistic matchups provide crucial data points for coaches and wrestlers preparing for championship season. Dubuque's physical advantages as a junior could become even more pronounced at 106 pounds, while Seabury's technical ability and championship experience translate to any weight class. The Blair Academy system that has shaped Curlo's approach will be tested against diverse styles and backgrounds. The Verdict The Journeymen Fall Classic has consistently produced breakthrough performances and established new hierarchies within weight classes. Sunday's 113-pound bracket possesses all the ingredients for another classic chapter in the tournament's storied history. With Seabury's championship pedigree leading the way, Dubuque's physical and technical advantages creating intrigue, and proven competitors like Curlo bringing elite program training, Sunday's 113 pound division promises to deliver the type of elite competition that defines championship wrestling. The future of 106 pounds will be on full display in Schenectady.
  17. You left out the comparisons he asked for. Not shocking though.
  18. Snow plow driver from Minnesota still is nothing but a second grade name caller. You claim to be on the bring people together train. Is this helping bring people together or driving them further apart? Carry on making yourself look stupid.
  19. Tanxs for that clarification, nhs... back of my mind, I was wondering about that too. I went for the low hanging fruit when most of the gang was part of the Nittany Lion WC. I DO appreciate that. D3
