Yes. I also remember him breaking a Naval Academy students jaw during a brawl in Baltimore back when PD3 was in high school.

On the college forum before he won senior nationals?

6th amendment: Rights of the accused, not alleged victims.

There was plenty of Downey talk on TheMat.com, especially with his daddy participating.

Too big of a country. How about Lichtenstein?

Putin is the one who called for ‘high level’ talks and claimed to be serious and the first step to a ceasefire. Lord Trump not being there is not a factor in that. It doesn’t make sense at all, unless he’s putting on a dog and pony show to control the narrative for folks to blindly follow, or unless you believe they’re in bed together. The man is evil and needs to go. The world will be better. “I read”…..is this where we either do, or don’t, believe the media..depending on what they’re saying for us??

This board didn't exist in 2009-2011 for people to write essays on Pat Downey. And he barely would have registered with the audience on its predecessor, themat.com. Downey graduated high school in 2011 and he didn't win Fargo until the summer of 2011. He won senior national the spring of 2011. He wasn't really a top recruit prior to that and was #80 in the class of 2011 recruiting rankings. No one on the biggest college wrestling forums at the time would have known who he was to write an essay in his defense. Tyrel Miller is #80 on the 2025 big board. I know nothing about him. Do you? Still I am sure Downey had his supporters defending him locally during that time period. He attended three different high schools and was recruited to the University of Nebraska, so he received multiple chances to start over fresh. Of course he would get booted out of Nebraska without wrestling a match for excessive partying and breaking his hand in a street fight... So if there is a difference in how a college wrestling forum treats Downey and Snyder it comes down to Downey having three strikes against him before he even wrestled a college match and Snyder being a model citizen for over a decade on the national scene before his indiscretion. To me those facts explain it far better than your feeling that one is "real" and the other is "fake" contributing to a double standard.

I read Trump couldn’t be there, so it makes sense Putin wouldn’t go either.

Of all the threads on the NWT, this one is probably my favorite

Anyone who thinks this man has any agenda other than total control of anything he decides he wants, is a fool. The world will be a better place when he’s gone.

When all we knew was that he got arrested for it, I figured she would divorce him but I wouldn’t have been shocked if she stayed with him. But after that video came out, I don’t see how she can.

Don't the victims have the right to a speedy trial? Pushing this off seems to indicate no.

Even if he isn't 'allowed' to train, saying he won't is a different animal altogether. That said, my question was pertaining to 97 KG for WTT. Does this mean Top 2 don't wrestle and wrestle off at the Best of 3? Doed Aiello is now sitting in the Best of 3 Finals?

He wrestles for FCA? Isn't he a bit old?

*gets

Well, not everyone.

His wife should divorce him as soon as possible. Snyder is a sick, demented hypocrite of the highest order. What a fraud.

Wonder if Snyder was hired to work in any of Diddy's freakoffs?

I'm not even against prostitution-- I think it should be legalized. And I fully understand couples have all different sorts of arrangements, ranging from solid monogamy to wild swinging. And I'm cool with that. But this is bizzare: You say, "but if he was a good husband..." What the heck? This guy does prostitutes, bareback (!!!!) and given the circumstances (the messages he sent and the manner in which it was set up), this was definitely not his first time. He's so clearly is NOT a good husband I can't believe your level of naivety to put that out. What woman on earth would say, "Oh he's a good husband, sure, he bangs whores without protection when he's away. But he says Jesus wants him to wrestle and win"

Disagree , that's up to them to see what's best for them and I believe he has children. Not so easy. Yes that's a possibility. But if he was a good husband and this was is issue and ship can rightened. I'm OK trying work out. Not first guy cheat on wife. Dont be nieve.

No, we don't all try to go bareback with a prostitute on mother's day while the wife and kids are back at home, and get busted with our units flappin' in a dank hotel, all the while pretending to live a Christ-like existence. No. That's Kyle's thing.

How about we all sin. We make confession and Christ gives us second chance. Hopefully he works it out with his wife.

It means Snyder can't wrestle or train till he's off that list.

This does bring up a good point. Other than Downey, I can’t think of any notable MFS wrestler in recent memory that was arrested while competing on the senior level. I think Marsteller’s arrests were all in college right? Seth Gross could be another example (also in college) and he’s a big God guy too, although sure if he also was before or if he turned to God after his issues. Not sure where doping/drug violations rank on the scale with soliciting prostitutes but we’ve certainly had a few of those (Fix, Valencia, Oliver come to mind). Overall I feel like for the most part all of the above mentioned wrestlers except for probably Downey (and he’s really the only one with a repeated history of issues) have been “forgiven” by the wrestling community, so maybe we’re just a forgiving bunch.
