LJB Posted August 25 Posted August 25 had a chat with a buddy yesterday and Braunagel came up... he thinks that dude might be the toughest guy in US wrestling today... was remarking watching him bang with Beka at the OTC is just violence... then beating the brakes off PDIII (i know... i know)... and now getting Sad and could potentially present a real problem stylistically... really interesting match up... as an aside, he is reffing the vegas event, so, getting a little more insight into that whole aspect of RAF was enlightening... 1

No. Snyder potentially getting booed out of the building is going to be interesting - the Russian press dumped all over him for not showing compassion toward Sadulaev when he got injured. .
LJB Posted August 25 Posted August 25 a win is a win, but, snyder acting like he just won the Olympics while Sadulaeuv is being attended to on the mat was not a great look...
1032004 Posted August 25 Posted August 25 I know it’s in Russia but Burroughs being that far down the list is kinda crazy.
LJB Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Ono opened up the show last week... great choice... the arena was packed for every match...

Probably won't happen anytime soon, but at some point in the future I'd love to see documentary footage of the RAF booking committee hashing out the lineups and match orders Would make for interesting television - Willie and Askren have said they frequently butt heads with each other .

JMill Posted August 28 Posted August 28 Didn’t the NCAA put that one PSU wrestler winning his fifth title as the first match of the finals broadcast a few years ago?

Braunagel, no disrespect, is beneath Sadulaev. I'm surprised he would agree to wrestle someone below his level. Maybe throwing him an easy match for his injury comeback.
RAFWiki Posted September 2 Author Posted September 2 Odds have dropped Kadik being an underdog to Dake by that much is surprising .
RAFWiki Posted September 3 Author Posted September 3 Press conference is live now on Instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/rafwrestlingusa/live/?broadcast_id=18113121257007027 .
LJB Posted September 3 Posted September 3 rewatching some sadulaev matches in anticipation... vs snyder in tokyo... masks every where... such a silly time... anyway... this matchup with Braunagel is going to be better than most understand... sad is a pure counter wrestler and braunagel doesn't have to shoot... he could just go full greco hand fight him to death... super interesting...

Sadulaev no-showed the press conference today, but the moderators kept insisting he's fine I wonder what's up .
LJB Posted September 3 Posted September 3 Gatsalov is not happy with him at all... he has to be getting pressure from the national team about this...
LJB Posted September 3 Posted September 3 can't find an exact date, but, Sad's wrestle off with Kurbanov is supposed to happen at the Kadyrov Memorial in a week or two... the russian federation can not be happy with him competing for RAF again...

Regardless of who won their match at RAF Georgia, the plan was always for a Sadulaev vs. Snyder rematch to happen at RAF Moscow If they scratched Sadulaev from the card I wouldn't be shocked Khaniev vs. Braunagel would make sense since Khaniev got knocked out of Worlds .
LJB Posted September 3 Posted September 3 i can't see taking that match from Nolf... Nolf a much bigger name here than braunagel...
SweetButteryLou Posted September 3 Posted September 3 He’s talking about khaniev 97 brother not 79 khaniev thats gonna beat nolf 2
LJB Posted September 3 Posted September 3 6 minutes ago, SweetButteryLou said: Khaniev has a brother who’s russias 3rd at 97 duh... i should have known that...
