Interesting. if someone actually watched sadulaev and braunagel in the past and understood what they were watching, absolutely... but here?

I have watched more Braunagel bros than anyone in this here forum. I did expect a low scoring affair... until Sadulaev turned on the gut machine. People forget that for a good 5 year stretch, he had the best gutwrench in the world. Good on big Brawlnagel (#RIP IWB) 1 i am an idiot on the internet

1032004 Posted September 9 Posted September 9 7 hours ago, LJB said: the entitlement of these anonymous forum nerds who call themselves "fans" is never not a constant source of amusement to me... although to be fair, it happens so often that it does turn to exasperation sometimes... an international wrestling event was put on you did not get to see... even though none of you watch most international wrestling events... but, wait... you were given options to watch... but still did not... it wasn't "legally spoon fed to me" even though none of you have any problem watching the replay pirated on some miscellaneous youtube site that does not have the rights to the broadcast... cry me a river, nerds... i can not tell you the number of times i was sent a link at 1:30 AM 30 minutes before an event started and i was thrilled to have it... if you nerds actually watched international wrestling you would understand that a ton of these tournaments just are not structured like the NCAAs and do not have a schedule out a year in advance and it can be a real struggle to find a link or brackets to a tourney in Lithuania that our national team is being sent to... as early as june of this summer, i was still struggling to find an actual link to a tourney in croatia that our U20 team was competing at... finally came available 5 hours before the event started... it took some time and digging to find... you cry babies would have lost your mind if had to expend a fraction of the effort... anonymous forum nerds are gonna anonymous forum nerd every single time... Lol, expecting to get a service you paid for and which was still being advertised as the “exclusive” place to stream the product until the very day of one of their events, is not “entitlement.” I forget, are you a Flo hater? Because you sound like those guys that would say things like “without Flo you’d still be getting results a month later in Amateur Wrestling News!”
LJB Posted September 9 Posted September 9 just have to say... i just went back and rewatched the sad v bran match... nerds who are making such bold claims that Sadulaev is washed or uninterested or mailed it in are so silly... Sadulaev actually wrestled really well... if he does not medal at worlds i will be wildly shocked...

That’s good cat poster stuff but not what I’m talking about… My comment was in response to saying your children are so successful because you taught them not to whine about everything and that’s why guys on the forums weren’t as successful. I don’t know these guys personally but I can tell you if they’re on this board they probably weren’t a complete trash wrestler. They’re success or lack there of likely didn’t come from lack of discipline or inability to deal with difficult/unfair situations. This is one of the few times where I will say you are swimming in waters over your head…everyone on here has likely spent years in taped up trash bags, under sweaters, in saunas etc. While calling people “Anonymous forum nerds” is generally disrespectful it’s fine…but you’re talking about something now that you are not a subject matter expert on. I told you why most people aren’t as successful at wrestling out of high school etc…that part wasn’t up for debate. Your kids have been blessed with a path, knowledge and support systems to get there…most are not. Didn’t mean for any of that to sound mean if it did…you just don’t know what you’ve never experienced.

Not everyone does that…you would know that had you done it growing up. The lack of humility you have at times is astounding…and I do like you…but what you’ve done with them and for them is not the same as what many/most here have done. Being the competitor is a completely different world. Being around the people you have while your kids wrestle is an absolute blessing. The fact that you don’t understand most never get that opportunity is insane. I don't need lessons on what you think makes people successful. I have been successful in wrestling and LIFE. I don’t know because I’ve been around it I know because I did it. I wouldn’t trade my Senior Athletes (World Class Killers) for anything I could have done in wrestling as a grown up looking back on my life. You don’t have to parrot anything I’ve said, just don’t pretend to know what others went through because you’ve been blessed in a situation.

I haven’t been boastful about anything…I literally said you’re running your mouth about stuff you don’t fully comprehend. But more importantly talking down on others. The second you’re not in control of a king ding dong of a conversation then I’m being too arrogant?! I’m not trying to lecture you on humility, I AM lecturing you on it. I’m glad you raced and were successful…what I’ve done in life, successful by most people’s standards…but in the end it all means nothing. I’d never even bring it up if someone wasn’t on a board taking dumps on people for something they’ve never done themselves.
