So dumb we think you can’t just say you’re a woman and actually be one. That type of dumb?

How/why do you figure? He just beat the guy that beat him last year at the Olympics. Who is going to catch him by 2028? When you say no shot, do you mean 0% or just a lower percentage in 2028 than he had in 2024?

It's another discussion about potential Iran GOATS. Someone posted in that thread to come here, so I reciprocated. That is all.

Morbid celebration of ideological murder
Gene Mills Fan replied to Caveira's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
Really when Paul Pelosi gets shot and killed, the humor will be eliminated. He already had the cops there, and was in his undies fighting for the object and got hit right in front of the cops. The violence was at total different level than a meditated assassination. -
Blades brought back in as expected. Glaude and Nwachukwu eliminated. Overall women's summary: Maroulis going for gold and Welker and Kilty going for bronze shortly. Blades tries to win a repechage match and the bronze match tomorrow.

Real woods on line 1.

I don’t necessarily disagree but that’s not the point of this topic. Spencer Lee was arguably a better recruit than anyone Penn State has had in the past (up until maybe Blaze and Duke). Why is he not having fun and/or reaching his full potential? We are all speculating here and I’m not trying to put down Lee. But it sure seems like part of it might be mindset and putting too much pressure on himself. I hope he figures it out and wins an Olympic gold in 2028!

Rahman has no chance of winning Olympic gold. His time was 2024 if he was going to do it.

Sex is different from sexual orientation correct?

One's opinions on God and Christ does not change the influence that Christian theology had on the American culture, values, and laws... that so many people want to live in.

Well they certainly tried to

People freak out whenever I say this...he's not super elite mentally. He gets rattled when his match doesn't come together. I know he's wrestled hurt a lot, thats baked in everyone knows it and gives him credit, that said he isn't one of these guys who always seems to find a way.

I said this in the other thread but Spencer looked unprepared to me -- as in, unprepared to wrestle high-caliber talent at his weight, since he hadn't gotten the practice reps in before. He doesn't have any training partners that are world-class talents at or near his weight, so he's not sharp. On top of that, he almost never competes overseas, so he's not getting many world-level looks that way either. He came in unready. A related factor is that his coaches are always trying to build up his confidence, telling him how great and unbeatable he is, and that on the rare occasions he loses it's because he "beat himself." But that just saps his incentive to improve, as I think that sense of inadequacy motivates him. Plus, it's not true anyway -- at least not on the world level, where the world's best will scout and beat him if he hasn't meticulously prepared for them, no matter how great Brands says he is. A final factor I'll throw out there, which is far more speculative, is I just don't see the joy. I don't mean that in the "Iowa only cares about winning while PSU has fun" sense. I mean that in the HEW sense. To me, he gives the impression of someone who's wrestling only because he's expected to, and feels obliged to. The positivity in his pre-worlds interviews seems forced. I hope I'm wrong, but if I'm right, then maybe bringing in better practice partners, competing more, or changing his scenery won't help. Maybe he needs to rediscover what made him love wrestling in the first place, whatever that is -- or if that ship's sailed, then move on to something that brings him more joy, whether inside or outside the sport.

My assessment was that he went in ready to control the hand fight, but his opponent was super quick on the shot and finish and was able to get an early lead. This seemed to surprise Lee, and he wasn't able to make any adjustments to his game plan and mentally crumbled. Lee is pretty one-dimensional, as he relies on a plodding, methodical control of his opponent. But the one dimension allows him to dominate 99% of his opponents. It clearly didn't work here. I think Lee is one of the best wrestlers we've had at 57kg/125lbs in a long time, but unfortunately I don't think he has "that dawg" in him, as the cool kids would say. He doesn't seem to handle adversity well, due in part because he always expects to be the better guy, and he struggles mentally when challenged. We've seen the intense self-criticism during interviews, but I think that we even see that creep in mid-match and turn into self-doubt when things are not going his way. There are a lot of calls for him to change training locations, but I'm not sure anyone can really fix this for him (not to mention the other top locations have domestic challengers). If things go his was, he can tech his way through the best in the world. If not, well, we saw what happened.

Tyler is a MALE. Identified as male at birth and still a male. There's zero question about that. How dumb can you wingers be?
-
LmAO. I'm here punk. Make my day. I'll never run away from you or any winger.

Sure, we can do that, if there's an ultrasound. Birth at the latest. This isn't a complicated concept.

He is 23 years old.

Now you're talking two different methods of analysis. Movahed dominated the entire world for six straight years winning Gold in the 1960s a few times. That is/was a different era, as well. I don't think we've ever had an era where there is so much talent throughout the world. I think right now Yazdani is a good standard, but I am not Iranian. Zare is definitely going to surpass him, providing health holds strong.

Grndat is an IT. Period. IT transcends sexuality and has no need for genitals like your God does. IT also has an interest in everything in the universe, not just humans. Grndat isn't interested in creating the perfect environment for humans in the United States. IT has an interest in every thing, everybody and every organism in the universe. Creating the perfect environment for white men in the United States isn't on it's agenda.

With your imagination why don't you write a book instead of spending all of your free time making stuff up on this forum? It would probably be a lot better for everyone and make you money possibly.

Ole @red vikingran away from the gender convo real fast.
