Come on big guy, you were talking like you were impressive person… let’s hear it since as far as I know, you’re just a piece of trash who does nothing more than sit on a forum all day…. And been doing it for years… I used to think you were a kid, but after all this time, it’s clear you are just an old man who has nothing else in life. SAD.
LJB Posted June 3 Posted June 3 soooooo emotional... there is a special forum where you can act like this and it is perfectly acceptable... now again... run along...

Oh honey, life must be rough for you!
bnwtwg Posted June 3 Posted June 3 (edited) At face value, it's awesome that Askren is doing this. True wrestler mantra of fear nothing, overcome everything, fvck Schute. I worked with actuaries for too many years. However, if I or my family was next on the transplant list I would be absolutely livid. There is a reason they don't put the YOLO crowd first. I worked with actuaries for too many years. Edited June 3 by bnwtwg sp i am an idiot on the internet
LJB Posted June 3 Posted June 3 (edited) Askren's doctor wanted him to join the transplant games... is there this much hand wringing over that event which has apparently been going on for 33 years??? if your doctor is recommending you do a 5K run then how is a 6 minute wrestling match causing this much strife for the anonymous forum nerds??? listen to the interview and then decide if you want to yell at the clouds or some kids walking across your lawn...

Ahh yes, the transplant games, where the most taxing event is a 5k and has other events like cornhole and badminton….. and all competitors are people who had transplants. Of course you are too dumb to see why that’s different than competing in a wrestling match against a pro MMA fighter…
LJB Posted June 3 Posted June 3 nobody forced anyone to watch the vid... i just thought for all the pearl clutching a long format interview where the actual person competing explains the decision would be relevant... but for sure, carry on... 1

Why would I have a grudge against you? I guess you may see it that way bc you clearly don’t have a life outside of this… maybe go touch grass? so please tell me how the transplant games are the same as a professional wrestling event.. or how you are above average… Im curious to see if you can actually defend the stupid things you say.
LJB Posted June 3 Posted June 3 no grudge? then why would you persist in trying to get me to engage in your silliness???

Jesus, if you don’t want to defend a point, why would you make one? Seems like your mommy told you, you were special a few to many times
LJB Posted June 4 Posted June 4 my point has been made... just because an anonymous forum nerd wants more does not mean i am obligated to oblige... you are adorable... keep living your best life sparky!!!

Your point has been made… that you are unable to defend any of the stupid things you say and that is some how winning to you… please tell me you are not over 30 years old! Gotta be single and alone. I may be willing to send money to such a hopeless cause.

LJB Posted June 4 Posted June 4 seriously... does some anonymous forum nerd really get to act the fool?
GlassPrison Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Bottom line - I’m happy Ben is in a place where he feels comfortable competing. Its not my place to say if it’s medically appropriate. Does it make me nervous - yes. Do I have enough familiarity with his situation to know if that’s valid - no. Like most everyone, I just want him to be safe and healthy. I’ll be watching and cheering for him. 3 1
LJB Posted June 4 Posted June 4 does askren sitting around waiting to die do his transplant service or does him doing the coolest shit ever do justice to the sacrifice? 3

Surviving is pretty cool to me. If you have never known someone who was on deaths door and received the gift of life, maybe you don’t get that. The fact is, transplant recipients are still very fragile. Even 20 years later my family member has to be careful(liver transplant). People didn’t understand how careful he had to be during COVID, but his dedication to living was admirable to me and I know he saw his second chance as a responsibility. This is not about being tough. It’s about being cautious and dedicated to that. If his body rejects his lungs there will be no coming back. I like Ben sticking around and being a voice for the sport. I don’t need to see him compete into his 40s when he has had a hip surgeries and a double lung transplant. I don’t know that many people really do. This is not like coming back from a disease. His body will never be the same and there is really no reason for this. Edited June 4 by russelscout
