How much does Jake Paul pay his opponents?
red viking replied to Tripnsweep's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
I've still never r watched him fight live, and won't. From the highlights though., he looks pretty good to me. I think its just smaller and/or washed up fighters, not getting paid off. Just looking for another payday though. Those can look similar. Maybe a top 50 fighter? I think he'd give Tommy fury a much tougher fight now. -

Caitlyn Davis definitely is talking about it. -
Alternatives to surgery / stem cell treatment

Snake oil it seems to be. Peer reviewed studies didn't appear to demonstrate any significant improvements. -
ahh ... 5. Minors in the sauna and locker room ...

No... 1. No, it was not "passed along" to police. Beau reported it to police directly. Cael did not encourage him to report it. "While Sanderson stated the program would support whatever decision Bartlett made to investigate the incident, Beau said it felt to him more like a public relations comment than real care." 2. Cael directly witnessed Carter assaulting teammates and did nothing. "Beau, Oliver and another teammate all told the Collegian that Starocci continued to touch other wrestlers inappropriately in the training room, sometimes in front of Sanderson. They also reported knowledge of rumors of Starocci’s sexual misconduct and inappropriate interactions with minors." 3. The photos were reported to Cael. "Beau said the photos were reported to Sanderson along with the theft, but nothing came of it from the coach." 4. The teammates reported the sexual misconduct as well. See #2

Carter Starocci faces allegations of sexual assault and theft

I gave him a B for well thought out BS, didn't say believable just a BS story that's plausible. Again not related unless you think Casey left the unmarked bottle of over the counter meds in the sauna. - Today

I just searched her name and there is one article saying she’s no longer the coach and that’s about it. Even on xtwitter a search of her name reveals zero posts since 4 months prior to her no longer being the coach. Whatever happened, it looks like quite literally, no one is talking about it -
Beware the appeal of coaching change. It happens in all sports. Ryan was added to the conversation because it is the same situation. You have the last two coaches to win national championships, but with no clear path to another despite consistent top 5 finishes. With Brands, you see have seen a pattern of underachievement in recruiting. You need to recruit an average of 3 blue chippers every year and it has been lacking. He has very successfully filled the void with transfers, thanks to a nice war chest of NIL money. Penn State was no different. They had one star recruit, Haines, a few years ago. They filled some holes with transfers, then filled it back up with the last few years. This year was the going to be the uptick for Iowa. They have DeLuca, Luddington, Ferrari. They were getting Bassett and Mocco. They were the favorite for the twins. Now they have lost Bassett and the twins went to OSU. "Fire the coach!!!!!!" Will Pittsburgh fire Tomlin? The Dallas Stars fired their coach. The Knicks fired their coach. Lots of successful coaches get fired while they look for the one that can take them to the championship. The problem is always the same. The next coach is 95% likely to be no better and probably worse than the one you fired. But, if the championship trophy is all you care about, you take the shot. Choose wisely. There were a lot of coaches and losses in between Bear Bryant and Nick Saban.

Yeah, don’t think it’s fair to include tOSU also since Strauss wasn’t really part of the wrestling community. -

He is yet another wrestler at Penn state who got a degree in Parks, Recreation and Leisure Studies That can’t be all that hard. Seems like a good % of the team majors in that. Wonder why? -
Holy cow his page is bonkers. Does he have a thread here dedicated to daily dissection?

Nothing particularly unusual in society or specific to wrestling. That we find out about such things might be considered progress -
Cael is a narcissistic manipulative prick who happens to be a great recruiter and coach. He doess everything in secrete while having fun. He thinks he is untouchable above reproach. He is a complete ethical fraud.

WrestlingRasta replied to Tripnsweep's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
It’s a joke and an embarrassment to combat sports. It should go the professional wrestling route and be dubbed ‘entertainment’…..perfect for those who find ignorance entertaining. -
Why would you assume the photos were reported to police?
-
1. Theft - Cael knew and it was passed along to University Park police, who have jurisdiction over the crime. 2. Inappropriate actions on the mat - We don't know what, if anything, was reported to coaches, whether it was addressed by coaches, whether it was condoned or continued, or stopped. It will come out. 3. Photos on Group Chat - See above. 4. Sexual assault - the most serious of issues. It is unclear if the accusations were reported to anyone. It clearly wasn't reported to law enforcement, or they would have been obligated to open a case file on it. One thing that is missing from the reporting is the timeline of each step of the above events, and the timeline of awareness and response by staff. You pose the right questions, but the order is wrong. Will we get the facts, or not? If yes, we can answer the other questions.

Brooks story: True or False?
Dark Energy replied to Interviewed_at_Weehawken's topic in International Wrestling
Supposedly an over the counter supplement from Wegmans. Per his dad. No idea if true. I find it hard to believe that a wrestler of his status and his accesss to support resources would take something like this without having an expert check it out for him. It kind of defies belief. Seems like a willful act of disobedience or Penn State has to reflect on how a person of such low intelligence could possibly have earned a degree there. Again, if true. https://www.heraldmailmedia.com/story/sports/2025/06/27/star-wrestler-aaron-brooks-2024-olympic-medalist-faces-possible-suspension-for-failed-drug-test/84394953007/ Edit - per his dad, Aaron didn’t even read the label. Ok. -
