I want to love Greco. I want it to be exciting. Here is what you are missing, Kozak: His sons are Greco specialists and studs. That's why he likes Greco. And I get it! I used to like Greco,too- but the current ruleset is unpalatable. But his boys success is the reason he loves it, totally understandable. (I know you likely knew this)

And even when they do, I feel like they’re usually not changing something significantly. 3 point takedowns and 4 point nearfalls are the main significant change I can think of recently.

What is your take on RAF potentially hosting Greco matches? I think it would be neat for a grudge match if someone like Braunagel has a close loss to a freestyle wrestler and calls for a rematch. Like a "how about you come into my world, Sadulaev?" kind of thing. But I think RAF delegating 1-2 matches to Greco each show would just confuse/bore the crowd with the different ruleset. .

You mentioned forcing them into something dangerous and then back step like that…come on. I just think you haven’t had many true dudes around you…most just relent to your personality but when someone doesn’t they have a problem. Nah man just being honest with you. I have no issues with Greco at all so trying to force me into a conversation about whether I care about results and deflecting is silly. I care as much that someone that has absolutely no experience wrestling folk talks trash on it like you do when people talk trash about Greco. Among other things. you are really trying so hard at this... "true dudes" is no one of my favorite quips from this silly forum... don't ever change...

Gene Mills Fan Posted October 9 Posted October 9 why does everyone complain that someone likes chocolate and continue to say chocalate . I guess I don’t watch soccer much but don’t rag on those that do.

Remember when you said that Bella Mir turned down the Kennedy Blades wrestle-off because she didn't have a visa to leave the US for Worlds, but now it turns out they're having a RAF match in Abu Dhabi .

Gene Mills Fan Posted October 9 Posted October 9 (edited) how about logistics? one; no visa. two; conflicting tournament dates conflicting dates for blades Mir Visa was Sadulaev. Get it dork Edited October 9 by Gene Mills Fan

From 2000-2010, 5 other teams beat them. They've never been as good as the Soviet Union. They are down now even by Russian standards, but I think the biggest difference is the emergence of Iran. They have the best 67 kg, are best at the world 3 deep at 130 kg. Russia never had a rival like that before ( I think).
LJB Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Never been as good as the Soviet Union? shocking… the countries that are sovereign now that were once a part of the Soviet Union account for quite the Greco medal count… Russian ran away with the team title in 2019… boogie bug in 2020… ”won” Olympic team title as ROC in 2021 and also team title at worlds in 2021… politics have since intervened… their age level success has been building for several years and they absolutely trounced everyone at U20 this year… Russia’s demise has been greatly over exaggerated… 1
