1032004 Posted July 19 Posted July 19 (edited) Askren was up 3-0 after 2 periods, but Muhammad comes back to win 6-3. Last TD was definitely questionable though, but of course wouldn’t have mattered Edited July 19 by 1032004

fatlaz Posted July 19 Posted July 19 How in the world could Ben shoot? Go down on his chest with someone on top of him while he was gassed. Unbelievable.

I think there are times when you can do something like this and its not against the spirit of the rules. Major hat tip to Muhammad for being a great opponent and letting Ben leave with grace. A bigger hat tip to Ben for learning the right lessons from his situation and being a great example for the community. 3 3

Don’t be silly I think the amount of US wrestling fans who know more than Sad, Uguev, Sidakov, Yazdani and maybe Zare+Geno is a trivially small amount. And a lot of the "know group" just recognize the name or some past accomplishment, they have no idea how their career is going currently. They don't know how they did at the last worlds or continentals or how active they have been. 1 1

I've seen Russia put on some events with something resembling crowds. In the heart of the continent, it's usually mostly empty stands with some combination foreigners, competitors/coaches, bussed in school kids on a field trip . I know Germany used to have a wrestling magazine back in the 80s, I don't know if any of that exists anymore.

I mean I will leave open the possibility that they’re not signing these guys (to get foreigners to watch, but it’s definitely not because Americans want to see them. I guess it does give the fans in attendance motivation to cheer for the Americans? Maybe they’re taking less money to sign than the Americans of similar caliber?
LJB Posted July 19 Posted July 19 (edited) I can personally guarantee you RFA is being watched around the world… chatted with a buddy who has talked to wrestling people in Japan, UZB, KAZ and it is 100% being watched in those areas… we just saw a packed house in Georgia… Now what platform is being used to consume RAF I haven’t a clue… Edited July 19 by LJB 1
Simpleman424 Posted July 19 Posted July 19 I posted this on another site earlier but curious what you guys may think…I’m bias obviously but I think Ben should have gotten the exposure
